3 General Information and Description
3.1 General Information
Floway Pump's standard practice is to ship close coupled pumps assembled. Where long pump lengths,
shipping limitations, handling limitations and headroom limitations prevent complete assembly, we will ship
the pump sub-assembled. It is the responsibility of the installer to ask for assistance should it be required to
properly assemble and install the pump.
The duration of satisfactory service obtained from the equipment, in part, depends on proper installation and
maintenance.
This instruction manual provides basic guidelines for installation, operations and maintenance of the
equipment and other safety precautions required for personnel. Due to the many variations and custom
designed units it is impossible to cover every design variation or contingency which may arise. However, the
basic information contained herein will answer most questions.
3.2 Identification
• Should questions arise concerning the pump equipment, the complete pump serial number will be
required for identification. The pump serial number is stamped on metal nameplates affixed to the
discharge head and bowl assemblies.
• The driver has a separate nameplate attached to it.
• When requesting information on the driver, both the driver serial number and pump serial number must
be provided.
3.3 General Description

• Driver
