6. COMMISSIONING & OPERATION
6.1 Initial Examination
Physically inspect the pumps for any signs of transport damage, paying particular
attention to bolted joints and the cable if fitted.
Confirm that the details on the name plate of the pump agree with the ordered
product paying particular attention to voltage, frequency and starting method.
Check that all accessories and spare parts are included as described in the
commercial invoice and purchase order.
★
Before start-up
Rotate the propeller by hand (clockwise seen from the motor side)
When started, the motor will kickback the pump in the opposite direction of the
direction of rotation.
WARNING! The resulting kickback of large pumps can be powerful.
•
Check that the supply voltage and frequency correspond to the values stated on
the pump nameplate. If not, do not start the pump.
•
Check that the outer cable sheath is intact so that water cannot enter the junction
box through the cable.
•
If refitting the cable, cut off a short piece to ensure that the cable entry sealing
sleeve does not clamp around the cable at the same point again.
