en - Original instructions
a) Close the fill plug (2).
Installations with liquid level below the pump
(suction lift)
For an illustration that shows where pump plugs are,
see Figure 16 (page 333).
1. All pipe system empty:
a) Open the on-off valve located upstream from
the pump.
b) Remove the fill plug (2) and use a funnel to fill
the pump through the fill hole until water flows
out of this hole.
c) Tighten the fill plug (2).
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 fill plug (2) until water flows out of
this hole.
c) Tighten The fill plug (2).
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
330).
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 (page 20).

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
bearings is recommended. The bearings must be re-
placed after 25000 operating hours or according to
the motor supplier maintenance instructions, which-
ever is shorter.
Motor with regreasable bearings
Follow motor supplier maintenance instructions.
6.2 Inspection checklist
Check for leakage of the mechanical seal. Replace
the mechanical seal if leakage is found.
6.3 Disassemble and replace the pump
parts
For more information about spare parts and assem-
bly and disassembly of the pump, contact the local
sales and service representative.
7 Troubleshooting

7.1 Troubleshooting for users

The main switch is on, but the electric pump
does not start.
Cause
The thermal protector
incorporated in the
pump (if any) has trip-
ped.
The protective device
against dry running has
tripped.
Remedy
Wait until the pump has
cooled down. The thermal
protector will automatical-
ly reset.
Check the liquid level in
the tank, or the mains
pressure.
