INTRODUCTION
This manual provides important
information for installing and operating
your Peerless vertical turbine pump. As
you store, handle, and work with the
various components, please keep in mind
that the pipes, shafts, enclosing tubes,
bearings, bowl unit parts, etc. are all
precision-machined items and should be
handled as such. The straightness of
shafts, the squareness and flatness of
flange faces, the roundness and
concentricity of register (rabbet) fits are
all crucial to the proper assembly and
trouble-free operation of the pump.
Take care to follow the detailed
instructions in this manual.
Proper installation, operation, and
maintenance of this pump will contribute
to maximum operating efficiency and
long trouble-free life. Read the
following instructions carefully, with
frequent reference to the assembly
drawing, before starting the installation.
Then re-read each section as the work
progresses.
Keep this manual available at the
job site for handy reference for
operation, service and maintenance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Pump parts, tools, and rigging
equipment used in installing pumps are
heavy and may easily cause personal
injury if dropped or carelessly handled.
The normal precautions and safety rules
associated with the erection of heavy
machinery, use of power equipment,
manual lifting, and handling of tools
must be observed in the installation of
this pump.
Do not work under a heavy
suspended object unless there is a
positive support under it to stop its fall in
event of sling or hoist failure. Disregard
of this warning could result in grave
personal injury.
Before opening the conduit box of
an electric motor, be certain that the
current to the motor is shut off and the
breakers are locked out. An electrical
shock from contact with live motor leads
can be fatal.
The motor canopy (cover) must be
in place when the pump is in operation.
If exposed, rotating parts below this
cover could cause grave personal injury.
Petroleum-based cleaning solvents
are flammable. Smoking by personnel
in the vicinity of these solvents is
extremely hazardous and must not be
permitted. Also, in many areas, the use
of these contaminating and hazardous
solvents is illegal. Consult the local
