Installation Unpack all parts of your equipment and inspect for damages that
may have occurred during shipping. Report any damage to the
carrier.
All ports are covered at the factory to keep out foreign objects
during transit. If the covers are missing or damaged, remove the
pump cover and thoroughly inspect the fluid head. Be sure the
pump head is clean and free of foreign material before rotating
shaft.
Pump Location Address the following considerations when determining a location
for the installation of your pump:
• Locate the pump as near as is practical to the liquid supply.
• Keep the supply piping short and straight to keep the pump
supplied with liquid and prevent damaging cavitation.
• The pump should be accessible for service and inspection
during operation.
• The motor must be protected from flooding.
Pump Leveling Level the pump by loosening the set screws (Figure 13, item A) to
adjust the length of the legs.
Supply and Discharge
Piping/Valves
Address the following considerations when determining supply/
discharge piping and valve installation of your pump.
1. Use a line size equal to or larger than the connection size on
the pump, especially the inlet supply line.
2. Keep the supply line as short and straight as possible and
use as few elbows, valves or other types of restrictions as
possible. Avoid up and down rises which will trap air.
3. Be certain that all joints in the suction line are well-sealed to
prevent air leaks.
4. Maintain a straight length of pipe (Figure 14, item A) at least 8
diameters long at the pump inlet.
