Starting The Pump; Paperwork And Iom - Xylem Goulds M05421 Manual De Instalación, Operación Y Mantenimiento

Current unbalance should not exceed
5%. If the unbalance cannot be cor-
rected by rolling leads, the source of
the unbalance must be located and
corrected. If, on the three possible
hookups, the leg farthest from the
average stays on the same power
lead, most of the unbalance is coming
from the power source.
Contact your local power company
to resolve the imbalance.

Remove the ball or globe valve and
connect the pump discharge to the
house plumbing, pressure tank and
switch. Turn Power On. Run a few
cycles through the tank to rinse it
out and to verify proper pump and
switch operation. Use this time to
check all fittings for leaks.

CAUTION
High Static
Level Well To
Prevent Upthrust
Hazardous pressure can
cause personal injury
or property damage.
Any well with a high static water
level may allow the pump to operate
off the curve to the right or outside
the "Recommended Range" shown
on the pump curve. We recommend
using a "Dole" flow restrictor or
throttling with a ball valve to prevent
upthrust damage to the pump and
motor. The maximum flow must be
restricted to be within the pumps
recommended operating range. If
you use a ball valve, set it, remove the
handle, tape the handle to the pipe,
and tag the valve with a note saying,
"Do not open this valve or pump
may be damaged". The easiest way
to "set" the flow is to fill a 5 gallon
bucket and time how long it takes to
produce 5 gallons. Calculate the flow
in gpm based on this value. As the
water level drops in the well the flow
will be reduced due to increased head
and the valve will not interfere with
performance.

Please give this filled-in IOM and
your business card to the owner.
A sticker with your name and phone
number on the tank or control box is
a great sales tool for future business!
We now provide an extra pump label
which you can affix to the IOM, put
on a 3-wire control box or locate
near the tank and pressure switch for
future pump identification.
