Page 5: Installation Recommendations
ORBIT PP AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS At the pumping system design stage, consideration must be given for the provision of dedicated gauges, filling or flushing connections, non-return, isolating or pressure relief valves. Due to the nature of a positive displacement pump, it is recommended a pressure relief valve is installed on the outlet side of the pump to prevent any danger and or damage in the event the flow out of the pump becomes blocked. -
Page 6: Duty Conditions
Pumps should be installed only in applications for which they were approved by Franklin Electric, having taken into account material compatibility, flow rates, temperature; solids handling; pressure; rotational speed and the environment. The performance capabilities of the Orbit Agricultural pump range is shown on the chart below (based on water at 20°C). -

Page 9: Motor Wiring Arrangement
ORBIT PP AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL MOTOR WIRING ARRANGEMENT This PD pump requires a high starting torque to overcome the rotor stator friction fit. To achieve this the motor must be started direct on line (DOL) to realize maximum starting torque. Star-delta starting is not recommended. - Page 10 ORBIT PP AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL Startup check list: With the motor isolated from the pump, ensure that its rotation is the correct direction. These pumps rotate in one direction ONLY. Are there any obstructions in the pipework or pump?

Page 11: Guards
ORBIT PP AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL The pump speed / pressure settings must remain below the pumps maximum limitations. Consult Franklin Electric if you are unsure. If the pump has never been run, it may be necessary to crank the pump through one revolution manually (with water/product present in the gland). -

RE-ASSEMBLY OF PUMP Refer to Figure 1 : Exploded view : Assemble bearings (17) on mainshaft (21) with bearing spacer (16) in between, and bearing lock washer (14) on open end. Bearings (17) will need to be heated to be assembled on mainshaft (21). - Page 17 ORBIT PP AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL Insert flexshaft (33) into the hole in the rotor at opposite end to rotor adaptor nut (30) and tighten counter-clockwise (left-hand thread). Insert opposite end of flexshaft (33) through mainshaft (21). Insert flexible shaft sealing ring (31), into main shaft (21) open end.

ORBIT PP AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL 14. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE To ensure optimum pump life the following components should be routinely checked: Gland Packing (refer to 14.1 GLAND PACKING). Bearings - Bearings should be cleansed and regreased every 5,000 hours. - Page 20 ORBIT PP AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL The locknut should now be loosened to give correct running clearance (see table below). The tab of the lock washer should now be bent into a corresponding slot on the locknut. Bearing Lubrication - The taper roller bearings should be packed with Castrol Spheerol EP2 grease or equivalent and the housing 1/3 filled.
