700 METERING PUMP
Preparation for Operation
a.
Fill the solution container with solution.
WARNING: TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, USE EX-
TREME CARE TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE MATERIAL. CONSULT
YOUR CHEMICAL SUPPLIER FOR INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PREPARATION
OF SOLUTIONS AND THE HANDLING OF CHEMICALS.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, drawings referenced in this sec-
tion are located in Section 5.
b.
Remove the plug on top of the gearbox and replace it with breather
cap (26, Dwg., 440.400.001.020A).
NOTE: The pump is shipped with the gearbox already filled with
enough oil. However, checking the oil level at this time is an added
precaution.
CAUTION: To avoid possible severe damage to the pump mecha-
nism, do not run the pump without the gearbox filled with oil.
The oil level must be up to the oil check hole.
c.
Refer to Table 1.3 (in Section 1) to identify the belt location on the
pulley to obtain the desired feed rate. Pumps delivered from the fac-
tory will have the belt located on the first step (top step of the pulley),
which is the maximum speed setting. Install the belt guard before
operating the equipment.
WARNING: TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT
RUN THE PUMP WITH THE BELT GUARD REMOVED.
d.
Start the motor and operate the pump at a stroke setting of 100%
of the scale until it is primed and ready for operation. The pump is
designed to self-prime under a no backpressure condition; however,
if difficulty is encountered in priming, check that the suction valve is
not adhering to the suction valve seat. Refer to Section 4 - Service if
the pump does not prime.
Starting and Stopping the Pump
Turn the power supply to the pump on or off as needed.
