InsTallaTIOn Table I – Minimum Pumping Rates Flow Series Minimum Pumping Rate Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Ground pump motor correctly before connecting BVM(I/X)1 1.0 GPM to power supply, per article 250-80 of the National BVM(I/X)3 6.5 GPM Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S., or the Canadian BVM(I/X)5 13 GPM Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable.
If the system pressure is greater than the pump’s against running dry. The highest point of the loop should maximum inlet pressure the limits of the pump can be at least as high as the lowest point of the motor. This be exceeded if the discharge pressure backs up to the loop/valve combination will allow the pump and the inlet side of the pump.
OperaTIOn Operation of open systems with the liquid level below the top of the pump: priming NOTICE: The suction pipe requires a check valve or Risk of explosion and scalding. Do not run isolation valve. the pump with the discharge valve closed; the water in 1.
starting 1. If a suction line isolation valve has been installed, check to be sure that it is completely opened. 2. For initial starting, the isolation valve in the discharge pipe should be almost closed. 3. Start the pump. 4. When the piping system has been filled with liquid, slowly open the discharge isolation valve until it is completely open.

10. BVM1–BVM20: Slide the motor stool (36) over the to torque specifications listed in Table III. Place the staybolts (81) and onto the sleeve (48). Slide the motor stool (53) on the pump head and fasten it with pump head (36) over the staybolts onto the stack four pump head bolts (74A). Tighten the pump head sleeve (48). Be sure the stack sleeve O-Ring seats in bolts to torque specifications given in Table III.
regular maintenance Checks 13. Follow Steps 11–19 under Motor Replacement to reinstall the motor. The following checks should be made at regular intervals: Risk of explosion and scalding. Do not run 1. The pump meets required performance and is pump with discharge valve closed; the water in the pump operating smoothly and quietly.
TrOubleshOOTIng Risk of electrical shock and possible unexpected starts. Disconnect all power to the pump before servicing or working on pump. Make sure that power is locked out and that pump cannot be accidentally started. Problem Cause A. Power failure B. Fuses blown C.
