Before Start-Up
Check Rotation:
Beforepumpisputintooperation,rotationaldirection
must be checked to assure proper performance of pump.
Refertoillustrationshownbelow.
Direction of pump rotation is determined by viewing
liquid end of pump from the back or shaft side, and not
from looking into the impeller eye or front of volute case.
A rotation direction arrow is cast into the pump body
and shows correct rotation.

kill. Disconnect power to pump before servicing. Do not
attempt any wiring changes without first disconnecting
power to pump.
