Instruction Manual
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING
Pumps are shipped Free on Board (FOB) from the
factory and the title passes to the customer when
the carrier signs for receipt of it. The customer,
therefore, must le damage claims with the carrier.
The shipping crate should be carefully examined
upon receipt from the carrier to be sure there is no
obvious damage to the contents. Open the crate
carefully, as there are sometimes accessory items
fastened to the inside of the crate that may be lost
or damaged. Examine all material inside crate and
check against the packing list to be sure that all
items are accounted for and undamaged.
2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When installing, operating, and maintaining an
HPD pump, keep safety considerations foremost.
Use proper tools, protective clothing, and eye
protection when working on the equipment and
install the equipment with a view toward ensuring
safe operation. Follow the instructions in this
manual and take additional safety measures
appropriate to the liquid being pumped.
Be extremely careful in the presence of hazardous
substances, (e.g. corrosives, toxics, solvents,
acids, caustics, ammables etc.).
2.3 MOUNTING
The HPD liquid end is shipped already mounted
to the appropriate pump. Mounting, therefore, is
simply a matter of securing the pump to a safe,
level surface. For further information on proper
pump mounting, see the appropriate pump
instruction manual.
2.4 PIPING CONNECTIONS
2.4.1 General
General piping instructions are given in the pump
drive instruction manual. No reciprocating plunger
pump can be expected to perform satisfactorily
unless those recommendations are followed.
Pay particular attention to plastic liquid ends,
as these units are relatively fragile and can be
damaged by the installation. For best results, avoid
straining the liquid end by installing a very short
section of exible tubing between rigid, xed piping
and suction and discharge cartridges on plastic
liquid ends.
NOTE:
Maximum safety and reliability may be ensured
by protecting liquid ends and piping with an
external relief valve installed in the system
discharge line.
