Preparation for startup
DANGER:
Electrical hazard sufficient to kill. Always disconnect and lock out the power before you
service the unit.
WARNING:
• Failure to follow these precautions before you start the unit will lead to serious personal
injury and equipment failure.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation
or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in
serious physical injury.
• Operating the pump in reverse rotation can result in the contact of metal parts, heat
generation, and breach of containment.
Precautions
NOTICE:
• Verify the driver settings before you start any pump.
You must follow these precautions before you start the pump:
• Flush and clean the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system in
order to prevent premature failure at initial startup.
• If temperatures of the pumped fluid will exceed 200°F (93°C), then warm up the pump
prior to operation. Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing
temperature is within 100°F (38°C) of the fluid temperature.
At initial startup, do not adjust the variable-speed drivers or check for speed governor or
over-speed trip settings while the variable-speed driver is coupled to the pump. If the
settings have not been verified, then uncouple the unit and refer to instructions supplied
by the driver manufacturer.
Final installation checks
Installation checklist
CAUTION:
Serious damage to the pump may result if it is started dry. Make sure that the pump is
completely filled with liquid before it is started.
Check Checked
Check that the unit base is properly leveled and secured.
Check that all lubrication points are properly lubricated.
Check that the shut-off valves to the suction and discharge lines are open.
Check that the system is purged of debris and air. This includes the pumps and PRVs.
