Check the following before normal start-up:
A. Driver lubrication.
B. General condition of all equipment.
Start-up after a week or more downtime:
A. Repeat those procedures covered by initial start-up.
STOPPING THE PUMP:
Pump stations are usually designed to have the pumps started and stopped automatically using a controller. Since this is
a function of station design, the operators should be thoroughly familiar with the system’s operating parameters and in
the use of the controller. The general procedure to shut down the pump is as follows:
NORMAL SHUTDOWN:
A. Disconnect the electrical power.
1. Lock out the power to the driver.
DANGER:
Check power source with appropriate electrical test equipment to ensure driver cannot accidently start.
B. If the pump is to be removed for repair, close the suction and discharge valves.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN:
In the event of an emergency, shut off the power at the nearest switch. The operator or persons working around the
equipment should be familiar with locations of emergency shut-off points.
Many installations are equipped with emergency shut-off switches near the pump location. These locations should be
plainly marked and be readily accessible at all times.
The control panel (if used) may be equipped with an emergency stop button or switch.
BEARING OPERATING TEMPERATURE:
These pumps are designed to operate over a wide ambient temperature. The temperature, when measured on the
outside surface of the bearing housing, should not exceed 190°F. Temperatures in excess of 190°F may indicate
a lack of lubricant, or bearing problems. If the temperature exceeds this limit, the pump should be stopped and the cause
investigated and corrected.
