Bominox, S.A. - Installation and Maintenance Instructions
3.4
Priming
Pump loaded: open the valves (a, b) so that the load liquid floods the body of the pump and it is primed
(fig.1).
Suction pump: fill the suction tube with liquid and the body of the pump through the discharge intake
(fig.2).
Once primed check that there are no losses of liquid through the joints on the tubes, valves, etc.
3.5
Start-up
Check that the motor's voltage is the same as that of the network.
Check that the motor is connected correctly according to instructions.
Check the turning direction (fig.3)
With the discharge valve closed, start the motor, opening the valve immediately until the desired flow or
pressure is obtained. Next check that the electrical consumption in amperes is correct, within the limits
indicated on the specification plate.
If the pump does not operate as required once started, check the priming, turning direction and
connections of the motor.

Maintenance
Defective or incomplete maintenance may lead to incorrect operation of the machine (with increased
incidence and therefore costs from insufficient quality).
Good maintenance enables incidents to be reduced in the process and at the same time
guarantees compliance of the product's requirements and specifications.
National regulations must be observed.
It is the user's responsibility to establish an inspection plan defining the necessary
intervals and maintenance of these appliances with the aim of guaranteeing their correct
use.
Inspections must be carried out by personnel qualified for the type of appliance and/or installation.

of the Bominox pumps.
4.1
Replacing spare parts
In addition to these, also see the attached instructions from the original manufacturer.
Changing the mechanical seal
A mechanical seal is made up of two parts: the fixed and the turning part. The pump's seal is achieved
through the friction faces of these parts. The use of very abrasive products or especially using the pump
without liquid may damage these faces and/or their joints. In this case the mechanical seal must be
changed.
