INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.0 GENERAL
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. Four 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. (See
Figure 1)
IMPORTANT
On single phase units, the rotation is set at the factory and must not be changed.
On all units, motor rotation may be viewed through the coupling access points just below the motor.
