Replace the coupling guard if the rotation is correct. After guards are in place the power can be reapplied. Note: CR, CRI, CRN 1s to 5: For these pumps, it is advisable to open the bypass valve during start-up; see fig. 13. The bypass valve connects the suction and discharge sides of the pump, thus making the filling procedure easier.

13. Preliminary electrical tests Warning When working with electrical circuits, use caution to avoid electrical shock. It is recommended that rubber gloves and boots be worn, and metal terminal boxes and motors are grounded before any work is done. For your protection, always disconnect the pump from its power source before handling.
