Piping Risk of explosion and scalding. Do not run pump with discharge valve closed; the water in the pump may boil, with risk of explosion and steam burns to anyone near. If there is any danger of the pump running against a closed discharge valve, install a pressure relief or by-pass valve in the discharge pipe to allow for minimum liquid flow through the pump.
If the system or pump must be drained periodically Bypass Line (especially if the discharge pipe is horizontal or slopes downward away from the pump), install a loop and vacuum valve as shown in Figure 7 to protect the pump 12" Min. against running dry. The highest point of the loop should to prevent Nipple Orifice...

Starting 1. If a suction line isolation valve has been installed, BVM 16 check to be sure that it is completely opened. BVM 2 2. For initial starting, the isolation valve in the discharge pipe should be almost closed. 3. Start the pump. BVM 4 BVM 8 4. When the piping system has been filled with liquid, slowly open the discharge isolation valve until it is completely open.
Maintenance 12. Install the collar (13B) onto the shaft. With the collar resting on the motor bracket, tighten the collar bolt. Motor Replacement For Reference Numbers [shown as (3) or (5)], refer to the Exploded View, Figure 14, for BVM2 and BVM4 Series Models, Figure 16 for BVMI/X2 and BVMI/X4 Models, Figure 15 for BVM8 and BVM16 Series Models, and Figure 17 for BVMI/X8 and BVMI/X16 Series Models. Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill.

Frequency of Starts and Stops Regular Maintenance Checks Check pump cycling frequency and make sure that the The following checks should be made at regular intervals: pump is not starting more than: 1. The pump meets required performance and is 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.
