2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Locate the pumping unit for ease of inspection, main-
tenance, and service.
2.2 Place the unit preferably on a concrete floor or
base. Level the steel base, on which the pumps are
mounted, in both directions by placing steel shims
between the base and the anchor bolts.
2.3 A well-leveled and secured unit will result in quiet
operation as well as longevity of service.
2.4 See drawing 1MBD02 (Simplex) or 1MBD03 (Duplex)
in Section 6 for general piping requirements.
2.5 Eccentric increasers can be used in the suction line
when increasing the pipe size. The straight side of
eccentric reducers should be installed with the flat
side on top to eliminate air pockets. Support the suc-
tion and discharge lines independently by the use of
pipe hangers or anchors. Do not attempt to spring
the suction and discharge lines into position. It is rec-
ommended that a three (3) valve by-pass between
the suction and discharge be installed at this time.
See drawing 1MBD02 or 1MBD03 for location of
valves.
2.5.1 IMPORTANT: Do not install and operate Bell &
Gossett Pumps in closed systems unless the system
is constructed with properly sized safety devices and
control devices. Such devices include the use of
properly sized and located pressure relief valves,
compression tanks, pressure controls, temperature
controls and flow controls as appropriate. The
MiniBooster includes a high temperatures cut out. If
the system does not include the other devices, con-
sult the responsible engineer or architect before mak-
ing pumps operational.
2.6 IMPORTANT: Unless the piping to which the vibra-
tion eliminators are connected to are properly
anchored to the floor, the benefits may not be fully
realized. See drawing 1MBD02 (Simplex) or 1MBD03
(Duplex).
2.7 The power supply required for the unit is either
230/1/60, or 208, 230, 460/3/60 with a dedicated
ground wire. Single phase motors have internal over-
load protection and three phase motors have external
overload protection in the control panel.
On single phase units the disconnecting means and
short circuit protection are to be supplied and mounted
by others. Three phase units have disconnecting
means and fuses for short circuit protection in the
control panel.
2.8 For units installed with an optional tank, the tank
must be installed to the top connection of the dis-
charge cross for simplex units and the discharge
manifold for duplex units (see 1MBD02 or 1MBD03).
Precharge the tank per the tank specific IOM.
For units installed with an optional low suction pres-
sure switch, the switch, which typically ships loose,
must be piped to the inlet 1/4" tap on the check valve
for simplex units or on of the 1/4" tap on the suction
manifold for duplex units (see 1MBD02 or 1MBD03).
See section 3.10 for instructions on setting the
switch.
DANGER: Heavy load, may drop if not lifted properly.
Do not lift the entire unit by the motor eyebolts. Lift
the unit with slings placed under the unit base rails.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING: THE HEATING OF WATER AND OTHER
FLUIDS CAUSES VOLUMETRIC EXPANSION. THE
ASSOCIATED FORCES MAY CAUSE FAILURE OF SYS-
TEM COMPONENTS AND RELEASE OF HIGH TEMPERA-
TURE FLUIDS. THIS WILL BE PREVENTED BY INSTALLING
PROPERLY SIZED AND LOCATED PRESSURE RELIEF
VALVES AND COMPRESSION TANKS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. IN-
SPECT ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS PRIOR TO
POWERING THE UNIT. WIRING CONNECTIONS MUST
BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCOR-
DANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES, ORDINANCES,
AND GOOD PRACTICES.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING: CONDUIT GROUNDS ARE NOT ADE-
QUATE. A SEPARATE GROUND WIRE MUST BE
ATTACHED TO THE GROUND LUG PROVIDED IN THE
ENCLOSURE TO AVOID POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
CAUTION: SEAL DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. DO NOT
RUN PUMPS DRY. FILL AND VENT THE PUMP
VOLUTE PRIOR TO OPERATION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR MODERATE
PERSONAL INJURY.
