Operation Waukesha Cherry-Burrell
Page 30 95-03009 10/2010
Operation Before proceeding, make sure your pump has been correctly installed as
described in “Installation” on page 24.
Starting the Pump 1. If the pump has a flush seal option, start the flow of flush water
(approximately 5 US gallons per hour recommended rate) before
operating the pump.
2. Before sta
rting the pump, prime the pump by flooding the pump cas-
ing with liquid, to avoid damage to pump parts. See “Priming the
Pump With the Feed Source Above Pump Level” on page 30 or
“Priming the Pump With the Feed Source Below Pump Level” on
page 31.
3. Start the pump motor.
4. Check the pump to see that liquid is flowing and that all piping con-
nections and seals are leak-free.
5. Make sure that the pump is not oper
ating against a closed discharge.
Continued operation against a closed discharge will heat the liquid in
the casing to boiling and lead to pump damage.
6. Slowly open the discharge valve until the desired flow is obtained.
Observe
the pressure gauges and if pressure is not attained quickly,
stop the pump and prime it again.
