5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and
Shutdown
5.1 Starting
DANGER:
All openings (e.g. pipe connections, flanges) must be sealed off with proper fitting and material prior to
filling pump. Failure to plug all openings will result in personal injury.
Prior to starting pump, ensure all flush and cooling systems are operating.
Follow the motor manufacturer's instructions carefully. Before starting fill the pump casing with liquid
through the priming plug provided. Your pump has been designed to prime itself in a few minutes. High
suction lifts require additional time and reduce the performance of the pump. Should you have difficulty,
refer to the "Trouble Guide" paragraph.
ITT self priming pumps prime and reprime themselves providing the casing is filled with liquid. Should
you lose this liquid from the casing accidentally or by draining purposely, it will be necessary to fill casing
with liquid before starting.
Check oil level in bearing housing cavity. Units are shipped without oil. Fill bearing housing oil cavity with
proper grade of oil. (Refer to "Lubrication" for proper oil level).
Check drive coupling and "V'' belt alignment. (Refer "coupling alignment" for instructions).
Check motor wiring.
5.2 Warnings
WARNING:
1.
All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician.
2.
Before working on pump and/or motor be certain that the electrical power is off at the main junc-
tion box.
3.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker and have the main switch tagged "DO NOT ENERGIZE
THIS SWITCH PERSONNEL WORKING ON EQUIPMENT."
4.
Some motors are equipped with built-in thermal overloads to shut off the motors in the event the
temperature becomes excessive (as a result of low voltage, poor ventilation, overloaded lines,
etc.) These motors will restart automatically as the motor cools down. For safety sake, DO NOT
work on any motor without shutting off the electricity.
5.
Never operate an electric motor driven pump without properly grounding the motor frame. Seri-
ous injury or death by electrocution could result.
6.
Drain pump casing completely before taking pump apart. It is advisable to flush the inside of the
casing with water before taking pump apart.
7.
Never start pump before putting back all necessary guards such as coupling guard and/or belt
guard.
