5.1.3 Checking the direction of rotation
Do not start the pump to check the
direction of rotation until it has been filled
with liquid.
1. Switch the motor on for some seconds.
2. Make sure the motor turns clockwise (viewed
from the motor fan).
3. If the direction of rotation is wrong, exchange two
phases in the power supply.
5.1.4 Start-up
1. Make sure that the pump is filled properly.
2. Open the threaded connection in the pump
bracket.
3. Open the outlet-side valve.
4. Open the inlet-side valve.
5. Switch on the motor and check that it is running
smoothly.
6. Make sure the temperature rises at a rate of no
more than 2 °C/min.
7. Make sure the minimum outlet pressure is higher
than 2 bar.
8. After running at operating pressure and
temperature for a while, check that the pump is
not leaking.
9. Check if the filter system works properly and that
the pump is protected against entrained air, solid
particles and mud.
