OPERATION
5-1
After the electrical and mechanical installations have been performed, the pump is ready for operation. No operational
procedures are required except to apply rated power to the pump. There are no specific shutdown procedures beyond
disconnecting the power supply.
IF THE ROTATION OF A SINGLE PHASE PUMP IS INCORRECT, NOTIFY THE LIBERTY PRODUCT
SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT SWITCH THE POWER SUPPLY LEADS. DO NOT
OPERATE THE PUMP.
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE PUMP IS FREE OF WIRES OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS THAT MAY CAUSE
HARM OR INJURY.
5-2
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
Liberty pumps are designed for long lasting, efficient and reliable service with a minimum of preventive maintenance checks.
These checks are few but will add years of satisfactory service to the life of the pump. Maintenance checks should be
performed at the intervals stated. Severe operating environments will require more frequent checks.
5-3
LUBRICATION
Pump is permanently lubricated and cooled by turbine oil. If replacement oil is required, use ISO-32 turbine oil. If this is
unavailable a full synthetic SAE 5W-30 or 5W-20 motor oil may be used. Capacity .8 gallons.
