If the outer sheath of the cable is damaged, then replace the cable. Contact a Grindex service shop. • The voltage drop in long cables must be taken into account. The drive unit’s rated voltage is the voltage measured at the cable connection point in the pump.
Installation Earth (ground) conductor length The earth (ground) conductor must be 200mm (7.9 in) longer than the phase conductors in the junction box of the unit. Connect the motor cable to the pump CAUTION: Leakage into the electrical parts can cause damaged equipment or a blown fuse. Keep the end of the motor cable above the liquid level.

Installation Cable charts, MSHA version Motor 60 Hz, 3-phase, 440-480V Y or 575-600V Y WS004859A Check the impeller rotation: Pumps without built-in motor protection ™ Follow this procedure if your product does not have the rotation control SMART or softstarter. WARNING: The starting jerk can be powerful.
Installation Figure 2: Start reaction 4. If the impeller rotates in the wrong direction, then do the following: • If the motor has a 3-phase connection, then transpose two phase conductors and repeat this procedure from step 1. For 3-phase pumps with external starters or without built-in motor protection, the phases must be shifted on the output terminal of the starter.

Operation Operation Precautions WARNING: • Never operate the pump without safety devices installed. • Never operate the pump with the discharge line blocked, or the discharge valve closed. • Make sure you have a clear path of retreat. • Never work alone. CAUTION: If the pump is equipped with automatic level control and/or internal contactor, there is a risk of sudden restart.
Operation WARNING: • Make sure that the unit cannot roll or fall over and injure people or damage property. • In some installations, the pump and the surrounding liquid may be hot. Bear in mind the risk of burn injuries. •...
Maintenance Maintenance Precautions DANGER: Disconnect and lock out electrical power before installing or servicing the unit. WARNING: • Always follow safety guidelines when working on the product. See Introduction and Safety (page 3). • Make sure that the unit cannot roll or fall over and injure people or damage property.
Maintenance Figure 4: Example of O-ring adjacent surfaces During the reassembly, always make sure that existing index markings are in line. The reassembled drive unit must always be insulation-tested and the reassembled pump must always be test-run before normal operation. Torque values All screws and nuts must be lubricated to achieve correct tightening torque.

Maintenance Service item Action Check the oil: 1. Take an oil sample. 2. If the oil contains particles, then replace the mechanical seal. Contact an authorized service shop. Make sure that the volume is filled to the correct level. See Fill with oil (page 31).
Maintenance Major overhaul For a major overhaul, take this action in addition to the tasks listed under Inspection. Service item Action Support and main Replace the bearings with new bearings. bearing Mechanical seal Replace with new seal units. Change the oil A paraffin oil with viscosity close to ISO VG32 is recommended.
Maintenance Fill with oil 1. Replace the oil screw O-ring. 2. Put one of the oil screws back and tighten it. 3. Turn the pump so that the oil hole faces upwards and fill with new oil. Fill until the oil level reaches the inlet hole. Quantity: 1.8 L (1.9 qt) 4.

Maintenance 2. Remove the suction cover. 3. Remove the O-ring. 4. Loosen the impeller: a) Lock the impeller to prevent rotation. Use pliers, a screwdriver, or similar. b) Remove the impeller screw and washer. 5. Remove the impeller: a) Lock the impeller to prevent rotation. Use pliers, a screwdriver, or similar.
Maintenance c) Pull off the impeller. Install the impeller N, H 1. Prepare the shaft: a) Polish off any flaws with a fine emery cloth. The end of the shaft must be clean and free from burrs. b) Coat the inner conic, the outer cylindrical surfaces, and the thread of the conical sleeve with a thin layer of grease.
Page 36
Maintenance WS001759A 3. Grease the threads of the impeller screw and the washer. The proper lubrication of the screw and washer is lubricating grease for assembly of bolts etc., for example, Kluber ALTEMP Q NB 50 or equivalent. 4. Check that the impeller screw is clean and easy to screw into the shaft end. This is to prevent the shaft from rotating with the impeller screw.
Page 37
Maintenance 8. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the impeller makes contact with the suction cover.Tighten a further 1/8 turn, 45°. This will ensure the correct clearance between the impeller and the suction cover in the next step. Use a 12 mm hexagon bit adapter (Allen socket). 9.
