INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.0 GENERAL (REFER TO PARTS DRAWING ON PAGE#16)
1.0.1 UNPACKING & INSPECTION
When unpacking a pump or chemical feed system, be certain that no parts are thrown away.
Examine the equipment for possible damage. If damage has occurred, file claim with the
common carrier within 24 hours. Neptune will assist in estimating the repair costs.
1.0.2 The “dia-Pump” should be located on a level surface. Three mounting holes are provided to
anchor the pump securely to the mounting surface. All piping to the pump should be supported
to prevent stress on the pump input and output fittings.
1.0.3 Before connecting the pump make sure that all fittings are completely clean by flushing
thoroughly. Any foreign matter entering the pump can damage the internal parts and severely
limit the life of the pump.
1.0.4 A “Y” STRAINER (AT LEAST ONE PIPE SIZE LARGER THAN SUCTION INLET SIZE OF
THE PUMP) MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE SUCTION LINE OF THE PUMP TO INSURE
AGAINST FOREIGN MATTER ENTERING THE PUMP
1.0.5 It is recommended that shut-off valves and unions be placed in the suction and discharge lines
if possible. Such an arrangement will facilitate servicing the pump.
1.0.6 The electrical supply to the pump must match the motor nameplate characteristics. The motor
rotation is counter clockwise when viewed from the top of the motor or looking down on the
pump. An arrow mark on the gearbox shows the rotation (See Figure 1)
IMPORTANT
On single-phase units, the rotation is set at the factory and must not be changed.
FIGURE 1
Please note Figure 1, indicating the correct rotation. Operation with the incorrect rotation will
damage the pump and motor.
1.0.7 Please note, that some items in the parts list have more than one part number for an individual
figure number. These different part numbers insure unique identification of parts, which are
available in more than one material of construction, or as in the case of gears, pistons etc,
more than one speed, sizes. Please use the part number, not the figure number when
ordering.
