INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
12 SUMMIT PUMP MODEL CCFM GENERAL PURPOSE
7 OPERATION
7.1 CHECKING ROTATION
The pump can only operate clockwise rotation when viewed from the motor. If the pump has been
accidently operated in a counter-clockwise rotation remove the casing and ensure proper torque on
the impeller bolt. (As a general note, the pump will produce about half the expected head at an
unknown flow if the pump is rotating counter-clockwise.)
Lock out power to avoid personal injury or
death.
1. Lockout power to drive.
2. Remove the pump from the motor.
3. Unlock power to motor.
4. Clear personnel from immediate area, jog motor just enough to determine direction of
rotation.
5. If the motor is rotating in the wrong direction the electrical wiring will need to be
adjusted by qualified personnel. Then repeat Step 4 and 5.
6. Once rotation is in the desired direction, lockout motor and reattach pump to motor.
7. Check clearances and connect piping to pump.
8. Unlock motor, pump is ready to run.
7.2 FIRST RUN CHECK
Several items need to be checked before you put your pump into service. Each of the following
items needs to be addressed to make certain that your equipment is correctly installed.
1. Ensure all plugs, seals or packing is installed correctly.
2. Proper alignment of pump.
3. All electrical connections.
4. All instruments and gauges should be in working order.
5. Ensure there is no or very little rubbing of the casing ring and impeller hub. Adjust casing
if needed.
6. Correct pump rotation as desired, see Figure 6-1 on page 10.
7. Open the suction valve and crack open the discharge valve. There must be some
resistance when starting and evacuate any air in the line.
CAUTION
Avoid operating against closed valves or wide
open discharge valve. This can damage
driving components and cause injury.
