techniques used during wiring/installation do not 
increase electromagnetic emissions or decrease the 
electromagnetic immunity of the equipment, wiring or 
any connected devices. If in any doubt contact 
Flowserve for advice. 
4.9.4
The motor must be wired up in
accordance with the motor manufacturer's 
instructions (normally supplied within the terminal 
box) including any temperature, earth leakage, 
current and other protective devices as appropriate. 
The identification nameplate should be checked to 
ensure the power supply is appropriate. 
4.9.5
A device to provide emergency stopping
must be fitted. 
4.9.6 If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit, the 
controller/starter electrical details will also be 
supplied within the controller/starter. 
4.9.7 For electrical details on pump sets with 
controllers see the separate wiring diagram. 
4.9.8
See section 5.3, Direction of
rotation before connecting the motor to the electrical 
supply. 
 
4.10 Protection systems 
The following protection systems are
recommended particularly if the pump is installed in 
a potentially explosive area or is handling a 
hazardous liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve. 
 
If there is any possibility of the system allowing the 
pump to run against a closed valve or below 
minimum continuous safe flow a protection device 
should be installed to ensure the temperature of the 
liquid does not rise to an unsafe level. 
 
If there are any circumstances in which the system 
can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a 
power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or 
prevent it from being started. This is particularly 
relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid. 
 
If leakage of product from the pump or its associated 
sealing system can cause a hazard it is 
recommended that an appropriate leakage detection 
system is installed. 
 
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at 
bearings it is recommended that temperature or 
vibration monitoring are carried out. See sections 
5.7.4 and 5.7.5. 
 
5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP, 
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN 
These operations must be carried
out by fully qualified personnel. 
 
5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure 
 
5.1.1 Lubrication 
Determine the mode of lubrication of the pump set, 
eg grease, oil, product lubrication etc. 
For oil lubricated pumps, fill the
bearing housing with correct grade of oil to the 
correct level, ie sight glass or
constant level oiler
bottle. 
 
When fitted with a constant level oiler, the bearing 
housing should be filled by unscrewing or hinging 
back the transparent bottle and filling the bottle with 
oil. Where an adjustable body Trico oiler is fitted this 
should be set to the proper height. 
 
The oil filled bottle should then be refitted so as to 
return it to the upright position. Filling should be 
repeated until oil remains visible within the bottle. 
 
Approximate oil volumes are shown in section 3.4.2, 
Pump and impeller data. 
 
Grease lubricated pumps and electric motors are 
supplied pre-greased. 
 
Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should 
be lubricated in accordance with their manuals. 
In the case of product lubricated
bearings the source of product supply should be 
checked against the order. There may be 
requirements for an external clean supply, particular 
supply pressure or the commencement of lubrication 
supply before pump start-up.
