PACKAGE CONTENTS
1. Be sure all parts have been furnished and that nothing has been damaged in shipment.
2. The catalog lists all parts included with package. A packing list packed with pump, also lists
contents.
3. OPEN PACKAGES AND MAKE THIS CHECK BEFORE GOING ON JOB.
HANDLING -
Move with care and safety to avoid accidents or equipment damage. Heavy components
should be lifted using lugs provided, as shown in Figure 1. Pump-motor assembly must be lifted as
shown in Figure 2.
STORAGE -
A rust inhibitor treatment that lasts for one year is to be applied to the inner parts of the
pump and areas that are not painted. If pump is stored over one year, a new treatment is needed. To
apply treatment, disassemble pump and clean the internal parts with organic solvents (kerosene or
benzene) to completely remove the old protective film.
Apply a new layer of inhibitor and let pump dry before reassembly. Suction and discharge nozzles must
always be covered to prevent the entry of foreign objects inside the pump.
FREEZING
– Care should be taken to prevent the pump from freezing during cold weather. It may be
necessary to drain the pump casing when not in operation. Drain by removing the pipe plug in the bottom
of the casing.
ROTATION
–
All
motors
should
be
checked
to
ensure
proper
rotation.
Fill
with
water
prior
to
conducting
rotational
checks.
STARTING
– When the pump is up to operating speed, open the discharge valve to obtain desired
capacity or pressure.
WARNING! DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN WITH THE DISCHARGE
VALVE TIGHTLY CLOSED. IF THE PUMP RUNS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT
LIQUID BEING DISCHARGED, THE LIQUID IN THE PUMP CASING CAN GET EXTREMELY HOT
CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND POSSIBLY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
