UNPACKING & INSPECTION
When unpacking a pump or chemical feed system, be certain that no parts are thrown away. Examine the
equipment for possible damage. If damage has occurred, file a claim with the common carrier within 24
hours. Neptune will assist in estimating the repair costs.
1.0.2
The Mechanically Actuated Diaphragm metering pumps should be located on a level surface. Four
mounting holes are provided to anchor the pump base securely to the mounting surface. All piping to the
pump should be supported to prevent stress on the pump inlet and discharge fittings.
1.0.3
Before connecting the pump make sure that all fittings are completely clean by flushing thoroughly.
Foreign matter with sharp edges entering the pump can damage the diaphragm and severely limit the life
of the pump.
1.0.4
A "Y" STRAINER (AT LEAST ONE PIPE SIZE LARGER THAN SUCTION PORT SIZE OF THE PUMP)
MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE SUCTION LINE OF THE PUMP TO INSURE AGAINST FOREIGN
MATTER ENTERING THE PUMP
1.0.5
It is recommended that isolation valves and unions be placed in the suction and discharge lines if
possible. Such an arrangement will facilitate servicing the pump.
1.0.6 The electrical supply to the pump must match the motor nameplate characteristics. The motor rotation is
counterclockwise when viewed from the top of the motor or looking down on the pump.
1.0.7 Do not fill pump with oil. Pump is designed with oil free gearbox.
IMPORTANT: On single-phase units, the rotation is set at the factory and must not be changed
