Instruction Manual Volute Pump Model: LS2 / LS LS2-e / LS-e Warning Do not carry out operation, inspection or maintenance of the pump until you read this manual and understand the content. Keep this manual carefully at hand so that it can be consulted at anytime when operating, inspecting or maintaining the pump.
(6) Failures and breakage caused by use or storage outside the specification range 4. Teral Inc. shall not be liable for the damage caused by incorrect or reckless use of the pump. Cost and expenses incurred for sending engineer(s) in such a case shall be borne by the user.
Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide the user with detailed information necessary to properly operate, maintain and inspect the pump. Incorrect operation of this product may lead to an unexpected accident. Please use the product correctly according to this instruction manual. This manual contains the following information and is intended for persons experienced in the operation of pumps, or for those who have been trained by such experienced operators.
1. Safety precautions Before using the unit, thoroughly read this “Safety precautions” to properly use the product. Information described below is vital to safe and proper use of the unit and prevention of hazard and/or damage. Types and meanings of safety signs and graphic symbols This instruction manual divides precautions into the following four categories according to the level of hazards (or the severity of the accident).

Location of warning labels and caution labels The figure shows the locations of warning labels and caution labels. If these labels become dirty and illegible or if they are peeled off, replace them with a new one. Warning Caution Observe all the warnings and cautions affixed to the machine as well as those described in this instruction manual.

If the water contains a large amount of corrosive ions, it might not be used for the product. Please contact to your nearest Teral office, if the water has a higher pH value or contains a large amount of chloride ion, hydrogen sulfide ion, fluorine ion, bromine ion, and iodine ion, or it is the special liquid.
3. Installation Before using the pump Upon receiving the pump, check the following points first. The container may greatly incline depending on its center of gravity. Caution Before unpacking, ensure that the delivered container is placed in the correct orientation (not upside down). Pay special attention to nails especially when opening a wooden crate.
Page 11
Caution Install the product so that the total suction head (suction height + suction pipe resistance) is as small as possible within the standard specifications. Caution Do not install the pump at an upward curve of piping (where air is trapped). Failure to observe this may cause the pump to run dry, and seize up the sliding part in the pump.
(6) Ensure to provide a drain ditch around the pump. (7) If the system could be exposed to the freezing temperature in winter, ensure to take measures to prevent freezing in the pump room or to prevent the pump, sluice valves, piping, and other devices from freezing.
Warning Remove the shaft coupling cover when carrying out alignment. Before operating the pump, however, be sure to fit the cover back on. If the pump is operated without the cover, you may get caught in the machinery and injured. (9) When alignment is complete, pour mortar into the anchor bolt holes, the gap under the common bed, and the area around the common base.

Caution Be sure to install a strainer at the suction port of the pump. Otherwise, the piping may be contaminated with foreign objects, thus damaging the pump and the piping. Caution Do not forcibly screw a pipe into the pump with the companion flange attached to the pump.
Page 19
(8) For lifting operation ・ The suction pipes should be as short as possible with minimum bends. Do not attach a sluice valve to the suction pipes. Do not install the piping with a shape of upward bend (i.e. providing the piping with a rising gradient and then a descending gradient).
(equivalent to IE3) motor-equipped products tends to become higher than that of standard efficiency (IE1) motor-equipped products. If you have any questions, contact your nearest office of Teral. Note When switching from an IE1 motor-equipped product, it is necessary to verify the applicability of its protection device on the primary side of the pump.

Do not use the inverter to drive a motor equipped with a self-protecting device. • When driving a 400V-class motor, contact your nearest office of Teral. In some cases it might be necessary to take measures for inverter surge. •...
4. Operation Check items before test operation 4.1.1 Check items related to the electrical system Warning Before changing the wiring, be sure to turn off the main power supply. Otherwise, you may receive an electric shock. Warning Do not use the product at any voltage other than the rated value. A fire or electric shock may occur.
Warning Before rotating the main shaft by hand to check it, be sure to turn off the main power. An unexpected start of the pump may cause an accident. (4) If the sluice valve is installed on the suction side, fully open the valve. (5) Prime the pump until water overflows from the priming funnel or the priming port.

Caution Do not run the pump dry, and do not allow a large amount of air or foreign matter to enter the pump. Failure to observe this may cause damage to the sliding parts (bearings, etc.) inside the pump, disability of pumping, leakage or unusual noise.
Page 25
(8) Check for any abnormal pressure, electric current, vibration, noise, and other conditions. Refer to the following chart for the “vibration vs. rotation speed.” (If you install the pump on a vibration isolator, the standard vibration values are different from those in the following chart. Contact us in such a case.) [For reference only] Relation between the total amplitude (a)
Caution For overhaul, replacement of parts, or repairs, ask the vendor, the servicing company specified by Teral, or your nearest Teral sales office. Incorrect work may cause a failure or accident. Precautions for maintenance and inspection (1) Observe the following instructions, in particular, during daily inspection.
○ Check the strainer fitted on the pump suction side, for any clogging. Clean it if it is clogged. Caution Periodically clean the strainer located on the pump suction side. A clogged strainer may cause pressure fluctuations, a lower discharge rate, abnormal noise, and other problems, thus leading to a pump failure.
