This Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual is designed to help you achieve the best performance and longest life from your Summit Pump. This pump is a vertical case centrifugal pump with enclosed or open impeller impeller. It is designed for general slurry service.
Failure to do so may result in damage to equipment or personal injury. CAUTION! Treat Summit SP pumps as both a pressure vessel and rotating machinery. Follow all safety instructions for both types of equipment at all times.
2. RECEIPT AND STORAGE RECEIVING THE PUMP Immediately upon arrival, carefully inspect the pump for evidence of damage during transit. Immediately report any damage to your local Summit Pump distributor. STORING THE PUMP TEMPORARY Temporary storage is less than six months. Store pump in a clean, dry place, free from extreme swings in temperature and humidity.
The pipe diameter is 2.5 times larger than the anchor bolt diameter. This sleeve/bolt assembly is embedded in the base when poured. Anchor bolt sizes: 1”-8UNC. Length is 7.5 to 10” depending on base thickness and overall size. SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP...
8. Use a high quality non-shrinking epoxy grout, following manufacturer’s mixing and installation instructions. 9. When grout has cured, per grout manufacturer’s recommended cure time , tighten anchor bolt till secure. 10. When grouting is complete, check coupling alignment and re-align as necessary.

(The check valve prevents back flow during pump shutdowns. The isolation valve is for pump isolation during maintenance.) If an increaser is used, mount it directly on the pump discharge flange with the check and isolation valve directly downstream. SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP...
4. Hot alignment, after the pump has reached operating temperature, if the pump is used in high temperature service. Alignment is accomplished by adding or removing shims under the motor feet and moving the motor as required. SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP...
8. Install coupling guard 9. Unlock motor, pump is ready to run. LUBRICATION Summit SP pumps are grease lubricated. The pump has been pre-greased at the factory for 2000 hours operation. Regreasing should occur at 2000 hours or at three month intervals.
5. Restore power to the pump. The pump must be fully primed and suction pipe full of liquid before the pump is started. CAUTION! Do not operate the pump dry, rotating parts may seize, damaging pump. SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP...
Do not operate the pump without the proper guard. See ANSI/ASME B15.1-1996. SHUT DOWN TO SHUT DOWN THE PUMP 1. Gradually close the discharge valve and turn off the power to the motor. 2. Lock out power to the pump driver. SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP...
If necessary remove the Front Plate(31) and Liner(30) then inspect Casing halves, Impeller and Liners. These inspections can range from once a year, to once every three to five years. SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP...
