    Installation Piping: Suction Guidelines ... continued from previous page • To prevent air leaks, ensure all joints in suction line are well sealed. • Use an eccentric reducer with straight side up to prevent air pockets from forming which will result in a decrease in pump efficiency.
  • Page 15: Valve Location

    • Verify pump rotation. An arrow sticker is supplied with every pump to show correct pump rotation. If the arrow stickers are missing, contact Dixon Sanitary for a replacement. • Correct rotation is counter clockwise when facing pump inlet connection.
  • Page 16: Operation

    Operation Priming the Pump To avoid damage to the pump, the pump casing must be flooded with liquid BEFORE starting the pump. Note: This is not a self priming pump. Other means must be installed to prime the pump. Fluid supply above the pump: Open supply line isolation valve.
  • Page 17 PUMP Operation Priming the Pump Fluid supply below the pump: Close discharge valve and open air vents. Open valve in external priming supply line. Close once liquid flows from vent valves. Close vent valves. Turn off priming supply line. Start pump. If the fluid supply is above the pump see page 16.
  • Page 18: Starting The Pump

    Operation Starting the Pump Ensure pump suction is flooded using either method as explained in the previous priming section. Check for any closed valves or obstructions in the suction and discharge lines. Start the motor. Verify liquid is flowing and there is no piping connection or mechanical seal leaks. Adjust throttling valve on discharge line to desired flow.
  • Page 19: Disassembly & Inspection

    PUMP Maintenance Disassembly & Inspection Turn off and lock out power to pump motor. Isolate pump from system. Relieve system pressure. Remove suction and discharge lines from casing. Remove adapter guards. Loosen clamp assembly and remove. Remove casing and inspect for unusual wear or port damage. For BC-Series push back impeller and center impeller retainer in the stub shaft.
