INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
SUMMIT PUMP MODEL CCFM GENERAL PURPOSE 13
NOTICE
Do not operate pump dry. Dry operation can
cause premature damage to pump
internals.
7.2.1 Start Up
1. Crack open the discharge valve to allow flow yet still give the pump resistance.
2. Before operating the pump, it must be filled with liquid. This can be done by removing
discharge piping and fill with the pumped liquid or water. (Only use water if it will not
contaminate the pumping liquid.). If in a flooded suction, opening the suction valve will fill
the pump piping.
3. Ensure the motor rotation coincides with desired pump rotation. Refer to Section 6.5 on page
10 for specific shaft rotation direction.
4. Ensure all plugs, gauges, seals are installed and any seal clips are removed.
5. Start the pump.
7.2.2
Shut Down
1. If possible, flush the pump with clean water. (Only use water if it will not contaminate the
pumping liquid.)
2. Close the discharge valve to minimum flow of the pump.
3. Shut down the pump.
4. Close both the discharge and suction valves.
7.3 Lubrication
Ensure lip seals (49, 51), bearings
(16, 18) and motor bearings (see
motor manufacturer’s
recommendations) are adequately
lubricated for the service duty. Make
sure lip seals are installed in the
correct orientation; the lips should
face away from the frame (19). The
arrows in Figure 7-1 are pointed
towards the springs which should be
visible when viewing the pump. This
allows for leakage of excess grease
since there is no overflow opening.
Bearings are greased at the factory.
