Commissioning, Start-Up, Operation, Shutdown

Before attempting to start your pump, the following must be understood and followed to ensure safe operation.
When running Hypro centrifugal pumps, it is essential that operators use hearing protection as the sound levels can
reach levels of 80 decibels.
When handling Hypro pumps, one should wear steel-toed shoes and protective gloves in order to protect the feet in
the event the pump is dropped and protect the hands from any sharp surfaces on the pump or chemicals.
Only authorized operators having the knowledge and skill necessary to safely use a Hypro pump, or any equipment
the pump is connected to, may run the pump.
When installing, adjusting or removing a Hypro centrifugal pump, ensure that there are no objects which can fall on
the installer and make certain that all machinery to which the pump is to be attached is turned off.
Never operate a Hypro centrifugal pump from outside while there is a chance of getting struck by lightning.
Never leave electrical wires or plumbing components where they can be a tripping hazard or become entangled in a
moving component. Ideally, electrical cables, hoses, pipes and fittings should be routed overhead. In the event electrical
wiring must be routed over the ground, operators are required to use rubber ramps if they cross a gangway.
Hypro centrifugal pumps should not be used if the ambient light is below 200lux.
Only use approved chemicals in your pump. For a complete list of approved chemicals, see the "Fluid
Pumping Applications" section. Failure to follow this warning will void your warranty and could lead to property
damage, serious injury or death.
Before Starting the Pump
Ensure all unnecessary personnel are clear of the area.
For initial setup and test of your system, it is recommended to start with clean water instead of chemicals, and confirm
the system and plumbing connections are leak free.
Ensure that there is fluid in the source tank or supply line. Do not run dry.
Check line strainer for debris or clogs. Remove any found.
Check all plumbing connections to make sure they are tight.
Check power source and connections.
Ensure all hoses are properly positioned and are not damaged in any way.
Preparations Before Starting the Pump
Priming the Pump
Make sure all connections are tight and do not leak air. Fill the pump with fluid either through the priming plug or by a tee
on the discharge port.
Starting the Pump
1. Turn power switch to the ON position.
