I.
LOCATION, FIXED DUTY
Locate the pump as close as possible to the liquid to be transferred. Provide the
necessary space around the pump for inspection and servicing. If possible, allow
several inches of clearance below the pump and motor to allow easy access to the
bottom seal plate-to-tank fixing cap screws. These cap screws must be removed for
servicing.
The pump should be mounted on a fixed and firm base by means of bolts. The ambient
temperature of the location should not exceed 40
C.
II.
INSTALLATION
Connect the pump using suitable polymer pipe. The pump suction line should not be
smaller than 63mm OD (2” NB). It is recommended for optimum operation that the
discharge pipe is also 63mm OD. All piping must be air tight; especially that of the
suction line.
Your pump is made of some of the finest engineering materials available today. A few
simple precautions, taken during the initial installation, will insure many long years of
trouble-free operation.
The pipe should be connected to the pump using suitable union rings with a 2¾” BSP
thread.
CAUTION
Tighten the pump fittings by hand only as much as is required to ensure a
tight connection. Excessive torque is unnecessary and may cause damage
to the pump – we do not recommend the use of a strap wrench or similar.
The weight of the pipe work should be supported independently and not
carried by the pump.
The pump motor must be wired for the proper voltage and rotation, in accordance with
the wiring diagram supplied with the motor, packed inside the terminal box. All wiring
should be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with local codes. Ensure
that the motor frame is grounded. The supply voltage, phase, full line current and
frequency are given on the motor rating label.
III
ROTATION
Your pump is specifically designed to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction when
viewing the motor from the pump end. Please see direction of arrow on the label fixed
to the fan cover. Three-phase motors can rotate in either direction. Interchanging any
