Start-up • General Information
CHECk ROTATION:
Before pump is put into operation, rotational direction
must be checked to assure proper performance of
pump. Refer to illustration on Page 16.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. Disconnect power to pump before
servicing.
Do not attempt any wiring changes without first
disconnecting power to pump.
PRIMING:
Pump priming is the displacement of air with water
in the pump and suction piping. Pump MUST BE
completely filled with water when operating.
Refer to Page 17 for instruction on the following
conditions:
1. Suction lift with priming pump (water source below
pump).
2. Suction lift with foot valve (water source below
pump).
3. Flooded suction (water source above pump,
or incoming water pressure is greater than
atmospheric pressure).
STARTING:
Never run pump dry. Running pump
without water will overheat pump and damage internal
parts. Always make sure pump is primed prior to start-
up.
Prime pump by one of the above procedures. Turn
on power to pump. Slowly open discharge valve until
desired flow rate is achieved. Place the "Hand-Off-Auto"
selector switch in the "Auto" position. The pump will be
started automatically when the pilot device signals the
motor starter.
STOPPING:
Pump will stop automatically when the pilot device
de-energizes the motor starter. Turn the "Hand-Off-
Auto" selector switch to "Off" position if you want to stop
the pump while it is running.
