453343 ISS S 07.2010 Warnings High Pressure Hazard Fluids processed by a pump are under pressure. This creates a hazard to personnel working in the area should a leak occur. Leaking high pressure fluid may cause injury by startling personnel or from actual contact with the leaking fluid.
453343 ISS S 07.2010 Important Warnings The following important cautions describe ways to avoid incorrect operating procedures which will cause serious damage to the pump. Cavitation Cavitation is a condition within the pump which results in extreme hydraulic forces which can create a risk of severe damage to pump components. Cavitation makes a characteristic "rattling"...

453343 ISS S 07.2010 Important Warnings Motor Overload Depending on the impeller diameter and motor horsepower, there is a risk the pump motor will overload if operated with a fully opened, unrestricted discharge. To minimize this risk: 1. Before operating the pump, review performance curve and application giving consideration to motor horsepower and impeller diameter versus expected discharge flow rate and pressure.

(Wa+ pumps) and pumps with inducer (Wi+ pumps). Check the pump's nameplate to make sure that you have one of the above versions. The WHP+ and W+140/50 pump versions are described in a special manual which will come with the pump. The WK+ (pedestal pump version) is described in a supple mentary manual.
453345 ISS S 07.2010 2. Installation of the Pump 2.1 Positioning The pump must be positioned so that the suction pipe is as short as possible and there is a sloping gradient towards the suction port. Keep the number of valves, bends and tee-pieces on the suction side to an absolute minimum.
453345 ISS S 07.2010 2. Installation of the Pump 2.5 Connecting steam or steam condensate for aseptic use Shaft seals for aseptic use are supplied with stainless steel connectors (18” NPT x 1/4” Tube). The connection for steam or steam condensate with a static double seal in the pump body is supplied with stainless steel fittings (1/8”...
453345 ISS S 07.2010 4. Putting the Pump into Service Check the following before starting the pump: - that the shaft guard has been fitted properly - that there is free access for liquid - that the valve on the discharge side is closed The valve on the discharge side (if fitted) is closed during start-up to reduce motor starting current, but should be opened again as soon as the pump has been started.

453345 ISS S 07.2010 5. Maintenance Remove the O-ring (item 5.5) from the rotary seal face. Clean the stator and rotary seal face locations, if necessary with air or water. 9a. In the case of water-flushed/aseptic shaft seals, the back plate must be removed to dismantle the rear shaft seal.
453345 ISS S 07.2010 5. Maintenance 16. Fit the impeller (item 4). Remember to use the proper tightening torque: M10: 33 ft-lb (45 Nm) M14: 52 ft-lb (70 Nm) M20: 148 ft-lb (200 Nm) 17. Check that the locating pin (item 8), where fitted, in the top of the back plate mates with the detent in the pump body and carefully, to avoid damaging the O-ring, press the pump body (item 1a) in over the O-ring (item 6) and fasten with the clamp ring (item 9a) or body...
