6.0 OPERATION
6.1 PRE-START UP CHECK
A pre-start up check should always be performed prior to putting your pump into
service. The following procedures should be adhered to as a minimum.
• POWER SUPPLY
Double-check and confirm that the power supply voltage and frequency match
with the pump data plate.
• WIRING
Double-check all power and control cable connections. Check and confirm that
all ground leads are connected and properly grounded.
• CONTROL SYSTEM
Double-check that all control equipment is powered up and operational.
• CABLES
Inspect both power and control cables for visual damage such as cuts and tears
in the jacket.
• OIL LEVEL
Double-check the motor seal oil level
• ROTATION CHECK
Correct rotation is counter clock wise as viewed from the pump intake side. In
case of wrong rotation, switch two of the three main power leads. Do not run the
pump in air longer than required to verify proper rotation.
• COOLING AND FLUSH WATER
Double-check all connections, hoses and piping and ensure that the water supply
is turned on for applications requiring motor cooling. Visually confirm that the
cooling water is circulating and exiting through the exhaust opening of the water
jacket prior to start up.
