PRE-OPERATIONS CHECK
Read and understand the instructions and recommendations contained in this manual.
Disconnect the coupling between the driver and pump.
Test the rotation of the driver to make sure it will operate the pump in the desired direction of rotation. When an
integral relief valve is used, make sure it is positioned and adjusted as discussed on page 17 “TO ADJUST RELIEF
VALVE”. After the unit is mounted and the piping is connected, the pump should be checked to be sure it operates
freely without binding. After operation is proved satisfactory, both pump and driver should be tightly secured and the
alignment rechecked before operation.
Before starting, make sure all guards are in place and the inlet and discharge valves are opened.
After starting the unit, check to see that the pump is delivering liquid. If not, stop the driver immediately and correct
the problem. After the pump is delivering liquid, check the unit for: excessive vibration, localized heating, or excessive
shaft seal leakage. Check the pressure or vacuum by installing gauges at both the inlet and discharge sides of the
pump to make sure the pressure or vacuum conforms to specifications.
