2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking
Open the shipping carton and inspect contents for damage. If any items are
missing or damaged contact your local distributor.
Pumps are pre-primed with water at the factory. If the application is not
compatible with water, drain and dry before use. Be sure to remove caps
from fittings before attaching tubing.
CAUTION:
Head bolts may have loosened during storage or shipment.
Be sure to check and tighten to 19 lb-in torque, if necessary.
Do not handle or move the pumps using the Control Module only. The pump
should be supported by the base or drive unit during handling
2.2 Location
Choose a location for the pump which is clean, dry, close to an electrical outlet,
and allows convenient access to stroke length control, frequency control, and
tubing connections. Avoid areas where ambient temperature exceeds 122°F
(50°C) or falls below 32°F (0°C), or where the pump or tubing would be exposed
to direct sunlight.
This pump is cord connected and not intended for permanent mounting to a
building structure. However, temporary mounting to stabilize the pump during
operation may be necessary as long as tools are not required for the installation
or removal of the pump.
Flooded suction (mounting the pump below the level of liquid in the supply tank)
is strongly recommended, especially when pumping liquids that readily generate
gas bubbles. Sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide are common examples
of such liquids. (See Figure 1.)
If flooded suction mounting is not possible, a shelf adjacent to (but not directly
above) the supply tank often works well. (See Figure 2.) The supply tank or
cover can also be used if it has provisions for mounting a pump. (See Figure 3.)
In any case, the total suction lift should not exceed 5 ft (1.5m).
