Before starting
(1) Make sure once again that the product is of the correct voltage and frequency rating.
CAUTION
Using the product at other than rated voltage and frequency will not only
lower its performance but may damage the product.
Note:
Confirm the rated voltage and frequency on the model name plate.
(2) Confirm the wiring, supply voltage, circuit breaker capacity, and motor insulation resis-
tance.
Reference insulation resistance = 20MΩ or greater.
Note:
The reference insulation resistance (20MΩ or greater) is the value when the pump is new
or has been repaired. For the reference value after installation, see below at Maintenance
and Inspection (p.11).
(3) The setting on the circuit breaker or other overload protector should be made in ac-
cord with the rated current of the pump.
Note:
See the model name plate on the pump for its rated current.
(4) When powering the pump with a generator, do not share the generator with other
equipment.
Test Operation
WARNING
Never Operate the pump while it is suspended in the air. The recoil may result
in injury or other major accident.
Never start the pump when people are standing next to it. An electrical leak
can result in electrical shock.
(1) •Model LSC
The Pump will not start until the pump casing is wet. When
doing a test operation or if it is desired to start the pump
when the remaining water level is low, pour in clean water
from the hose coupling. Approximately 2.5 liter of priming
water is required.
•Model LSP
Remove the priming plug at the top of the pump and pour
in clean water right up to the top: then replace the priming
plug and tighten it. Approximately 1.8 liter of priming water
is required.
(2) Run the pump for a short time (3 to 10 minutes) and check
its operation.

CAUTION
In case of very excessive vibration, unusual noise or odor, turn off the power
immediately and consult with your nearest dealer or Tsurumi representative.
Continuing to operate the pump under abnormal conditions may result in
electrical shock, fire, or electrical leakage.
Operation
WARNING
The pump may become very hot during operation. Be careful not to contact
the pump accidentally to avoid being burned.
Always make sure the pump is primed before starting operation.
If the motor protection system operates due to an overload or malfunction, causing the
pump to stop, first investigate and remove the cause before restarting.
If LSC is used: After stopping operation, detach the hose from the discharge connector and
turn the pump upside-down to remove the water inside the pump.
6 OPERATION
CAUTION
Do not run the pump dry or with shut off condition. This condition may
damage the pump or cause it to malfunction and may result in electrical
leakage or electrical shock.
