4.0PUMP OPERATION

Review Section 2.0 (Tonkaflo Specifications) and Section 3.0 (Pump Installation) before operat- ing your pump.

4.1Priming

Prime the pump as noted in Section 3.5 (Pump Priming).

4.2Operation

Operate the pump within its specified flow range. Failure to do so may damage the motor or liquid end. Refer to the Performance Specifications (Section 2.2) or the per- formance curve supplied with your pump.

CAUTION:

Do not

run pump

dry or

without

sufficient

heads.

 

The pump shall not be operated with an inlet pressure less than

 

20 psi (1.4 bar).

 

 

 

 

 

Do not deadhead pump.

 

 

 

 

The pump shall not be operated below the minimum or above the

 

maximum

capacity

specified

for your

particular

model

(Table 2.1, Pump Performance Summary).

Do not exceed 90°F (32°C) operating fluid temperature. The pump may be flushed with sanitizing water provided no power is supplied to the motor.

4.3Restarts - IMPORTANT!

A maximum of 100 starts per day is recommended

Motors should be allowed to run one minute to dissipate heat build-up from starting current
