10.2 Start-up
1. When starting the pump for the first time, check for the correct direction of rotation.
2. Check the pump’s water supply is correct.
3. The pump must be started off-load.
4. Verify that when operating, the rotation speed does not exceed the rated speed.
5. Allow the pump to operate for not less than 3 minutes before putting it under pressure.
6. Before stopping the pump, always bring the pressure down to zero first, using the control valve or (if
present) relief devices.
If there are problems with priming because of insufficient supply, this can be addressed by removing the
three plugs on the front of the head (this does not apply to the LK36 version) as shown in pos. 3, fig. 11.
