SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TO AVOID SERIOUS OR FATAL PERSONAL INJURY OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN MANUAL AND ON PUMP.

THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT AND MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.

3.	Motors must be wired for proper voltage (check
	nameplate). Wire size must limit maximum voltage
	drop to 10% of nameplate voltage at motor terminals,
	or motor life and pump performance will be lowered.
4.	Single-Phase:Thermal protection for single-phase units
	is sometimes built-in (Check nameplate). If no built-in
	protection is provided, use a contactor with proper
	overload. Fusing is permissible if properly fused.
5.	Three-Phase:Provide three-leg protection with proper

DANGER

WARNING

This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. When you see this symbol on the pump or in the manual, look for one of the fol- lowing signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury or property damage.

Warns of hazards that WILL cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage.

Warns of hazards that CAN cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage.

	size magnetic starter and thermal overloads.
6.	Maximum Liquid Temperatures:
	212ºF (100ºC) with standard seal.
	250ºF (120ºC) with optional high-temperature seal.
7.	Maximum allowable operating pressure: 230 PSI
	(15 bars).
8.	Maximum number of starts per hour: 20, evenly
	distributed.
9.	Regular Inspection and Maintenance will increase
	service life. Base schedule on operating time.

CAUTION	Warns of hazards that CAN cause per-
	sonal injury or property damage.

NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND MUST BE FOLLOWED.

THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY WORK ON THIS PUMP.

MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.

	UNIT NOT DESIGNED FOR USE
WARNING
	WITH HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
	OR FLAMMABLE GASES. THESE
	FLUIDS MAY BE PRESENT IN
	CONTAINMENT AREAS.

Hazardous fluids can cause fire, burns or death.

NOTICE: INSPECT UNIT FOR DAMAGE AND REPORT ALL DAMAGE TO THE CARRIER OR DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

1.Important Instructions

1.Inspect unit for damage. Report damage to carrier immediately.

2.Electrical supply must be a separate branch circuit with fuses or circuit breakers, wire sizes, etc., per National and Local electrical codes. Install an all-leg disconnect switch near pump.

WARNING	Always disconnect
	electrical power when
	handling pump or controls.

Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or cause death.

2. Installation

1.Close-coupled units may be installed inclined or vertical.

	Do not install with motor
CAUTION
	below pump. Condensation
	will build up in motor.

2.Locate pump as near liquid source as possible (below level of liquid for automatic operation).

3.Protect from freezing or floods.

4.Allow adequate space for servicing and ventilation.

5.For close-coupled pumps, the foundation must be flat and substantial to eliminate strain when tightening bolts. Use rubber mounts to minimize noise and vibration. Tighten motor hold-down bolts before connecting piping to pump.

6.For frame-mounted pumps, permanent and solid foundation is required for smooth operation. Bedplate must be grouted to a foundation with solid footing.

7.Place unit in position on wedges located at four points (Two below approximate center of driver and two below approximate center of pump). Adjust wedges to level unit, bringing coupling halves into reasonable alignment. Level or plumb suction and discharge flanges.

8.Make sure bedplate is not distorted and final coupling alignment can be made within the limits of movement of motor and by shimming if necessary.

9.Tighten foundation bolts finger tight and build dam around foundation. Pour grout under bedplate making sure the areas under pump and motor feet are filled solid. Allow grout to harden 48 hours before further tightening foundation bolts.

10.All piping must be supported independently of the pump, and must “line-up” naturally. Never draw piping into place by forcing the pump suction and discharge connections!

11.Angular alignment of the flanges can best be accom- plished using calipers at bolt locations (See illustra- tion).
