Franklin Electric D Serie Manual Del Propietário

GENERAL
Centrifugal pumps, when properly installed and when
given reasonable care and maintenance, should operate
satisfactorily. The following paragraphs discuss the
general principles that must be considered to ensure
trouble free pump operation.
INSPECT THE SHIPMENT
All pumps are tested, crated and inspected to ensure their
arrival in good condition. Occasionally, products may
become damaged during shipment. When the pump is
received, examine it closely to make sure there is no
damage or broken parts. If damage is evident, then report
this fact immediately to either the carrier that made the
shipment or the dealer from which pump was purchased.
LOCATION OF UNIT
The pump should be as near the liquid source as practical
so that a short, direct suction pipe may be used. A short,
direct discharge pipe, with the least number of elbows and
fi ttings, should be used to minimize head loss. If practical,
it should be placed so that it will be accessible for
inspection during operation. Head room should be
provided where it is necessary to use lifting devices. The
equipment selected should be compatible with the
environment. Pumps and motors should be protected
against fl ooding.
FOUNDATION
The foundation should be suffi cient to absorb vibration
and to form a permanent, rigid support for the close
coupled pump. A concrete foundation on a solid base
should be satisfactory. Foundation bolts of the proper size
should be embedded in the concrete.

INSTALLATION OF CLOSE COUPLED PUMPS
Enough clearance should be provided at the rear of the
motor so that it, and the bracket-impeller assembly, can
be removed from the pump casing for servicing.
The unit is to be positioned and bolted to the foundation or
bedplate so that no piping strain is exerted on the suction
and discharge connections. Shim where necessary under
the mounting feet of the close coupled pumps so that the
