led. Do not vent if the pump body is
filled with hot fluid.
• Do not put any combustible material
near the pump.
NOTICE:
• Never operate the pump below the minimum rat-
ed flow, when dry, or without prime.
• Never operate the pump with the delivery ON-
OFF valve closed for longer than a few seconds.
• Never operate the pump with the suction ON-
OFF valve closed.
• Do not expose an idle pump to freezing condi-
tions. Drain all liquid that is inside the pump. Fail-
ure to do so can cause liquid to freeze and dam-
age the pump.
• The sum of the pressure on the suction side
(mains, gravity tank) and the maximum pressure
that is delivered by the pump must not exceed
the maximum working pressure that is allowed
(nominal pressure PN) for the pump.
• Do not use the pump if cavitation occurs. Cavita-
tion can damage the internal components.
5.1 Fill the pump
For information about Additional pump connections,
see Figure 12 .
Installations with liquid level above the pump
(suction head)
For an illustration that shows the pump parts, see
Figure 13 .
1. Close the on-off valve located downstream from
the pump.
2. Remove the gauge plug (1) and open the on/off
valve upstream until the water flows out of the
hole.
a) Close the gauge plug (1).
Installations with liquid level below the pump
(suction lift)
For an illustration that shows the pump parts, see
Figure 14 .
1. All pipe system empty:
a) Open the on-off valve located upstream from
the pump.
b) Remove gauge plug (1) use a funnel to fill the
pump until water flows out of this hole.
c) Tighten the gauge plug (1).
2. Filled discharge pipe system:
a) Open the on-off valve located upstream from
the pump and open the on-off valve down-
stream.
b) Remove the gauge plug (1) until water flows out
of this hole.
c) Tighten the gauge plug (1).
5.2 Check the rotation direction (three-
phase motor)
Follow this procedure before start-up.
1. Locate the arrows on the adaptor or the motor
fan cover to determine the correct rotation direc-
tion.
2. Start the motor.
3. Quickly check the direction of rotation through
the coupling guard or through the motor fan
cover.
4. Stop the motor.
5. If the rotation direction is incorrect, then do as
follows:
a) Disconnect the power supply.
b) In the terminal board of the motor or in the elec-
tric control panel, exchange the position of two
of the three wires of the supply cable.
For the wiring diagrams, see
c) Check the direction of rotation again.
5.3 Start the pump
The responsibility for checking the correct flow and
the temperature of the pumped liquid rests with the
installer or owner.
Before starting the pump, make sure that:
• The pump is correctly connected to the power
supply.
• The pump is correctly filled according to instruc-
tions in Fill the pump (chapter 5).
• The on-off valve located downstream from the
pump is closed.
1. Start the motor.
2. Gradually open the on-off valve on the dis-
charge side of the pump.
At the expected operating conditions, the pump
must run smoothly and quietly. If not, refer to
Troubleshooting.
6 Maintenance
Precautions
Electrical Hazard:
Disconnect and lock out electrical power
before installing or servicing the unit.
WARNING:
• Maintenance and service must be
performed by skilled and qualified
personnel only.
• Observe accident prevention regula-
tions in force.
• Use suitable equipment and protec-
tion.
• Make sure that the drained liquid
does not cause damage or injuries.
6.1 Service
If the user wishes to schedule regular maintenance
deadlines, they are dependent on the type of pump-
ed liquid and on the operating conditions of the
pump.
Contact the local sales and service representative
for any requests or information regarding routine
maintenance or service.
Extraordinary maintenance may be necessary to
clean the liquid end and/or replace worn parts.
Motor bearings
After approximately five years, the grease in the mo-
tor bearings is so aged that a replacement of the
