Operation
Before starting
Check the oil level in the oil casing.
Remove the fuses or open the circuit breaker and check
that the impeller can be rotated by hand.
Check that the monitoring equipment (if any) works.
Check the direction of rotation. The impeller shall rotate
clockwise, as viewed from above. When started, the
pump will jerk in the opposite direction to the direction in
which the impeller rotates. See the figure.

Cleaning
If the pump has been running in very dirty water, let
it run for a while in clean water, or flush it through the
discharge connection. If clay, cement or other similar
dirt is left in the pump it may clog the impeller and seal,
preventing the pump from working.
During a longer period out of operation, the pump must
be test run every other month to prevent the mechanical
seals from sticking together.
WARNING!
Watch out for the starting jerk,
which can be powerful.
WARNING!
Always lift the pump by its carry-
ing handle or lifting eyes, never
by the motor cable or the hose.
