16.5 Component Maintenance and Troubleshooting
16.5.1 Sanitation Pump
Lync Part Number: 69378
Failure to operate
When pump is first started, the shaft may rotate slowly until water has fully penetrated the
bearings. If the pump does not run, the shaft can be rotated manually. To accomplish this,
switch off the power supply, and close the isolation valves on each side of the pump. Remove
the indicator plug in the middle of the nameplate. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the
end of the shaft, and gently turn until the shaft moves freely. Replace and tighten the plug. Open
the isolating valves and wait 2 to 3 minutes for the system pressure to equalize before starting
the pump.
After a long shutdown period, multispeed pumps should be started on speed 3 and then
adjusted to the regular setting.
