381497 USA 10-2014 Warnings Rotating Parts Hazard Routine cleaning and maintenance procedures require pump disassembly. The pump contains close fitting parts which rotate during operation. Should the pump start unexpectedly while disassembled, severe injury could result. To minimize the risk of this hazard: 1.

381497 USA 10-2014 Warnings High Pressure Hazard Fluids processed by a pump are under pressure. This creates a hazard to personnel working in the area should a leak occur. Leaking high pressure fluid may cause injury by startling personnel or from actual contact with the leaking fluid.
381497 USA 10-2014 Important Warnings The following important cautions describe ways to avoid incorrect operating procedures which will cause serious damage to the pump. Cavitation Cavitation is a condition within the pump which results in extreme hydraulic forces which can create a risk of severe damage to pump components. Cavitation makes a characteristic "rattling"...

381497 USA 10-2014 Important Warnings Motor Overload Depending on the impeller diameter and motor horsepower, there is a risk the pump motor will overload if operated with a fully opened, unrestricted discharge. To minimize this risk: Before operating the pump, review performance curve and application giving consideration to motor horsepower and impeller diameter versus expected discharge flow rate and pressure.

A nameplate as is fitted on the extension frame (Fig. 1). Example: Fig. 1: Nameplate Type: Indicates pump model, such as Ws+ 20/15, Ws+ 30/30, etc. Serial No.: Use the serial number whenever requesting information on service parts. Order No.: SPX's order number. Year: Indicates the year of manufacture.
381497 USA 10-2014 2. Installation of the pump 2.1 Reminder The Ws+ pump, like all self priming pumps of its type, requires an initial volume of liquid in order to form the liquid ring within the pump which is essential for the self priming function. See below. Pump Ws+ 20/15 30/30...
381497 USA 10-2014 2. Installation of the pump Fig. 3: Typical applications 2.3 Installation of pump without recirculation. In this application, where the simplified pipe layout is to be used, one important requirement must be met: As the suction tank starts to refill, some liquid will be able to flow from the tank into the pump to replenish any priming liquid lost when the tank was previously pumped dry.
381497 USA 10-2014 3. Before start-up Note: for numbered items, 3.1 Checking the pump for foreign material see assembly drawing on Remove the front cover, air screw and its housing as described below. page 8. Refer to the assembly drawing on page 8. Lock Out power and disconnect from the power supply.
381497 USA 10-2014 4. Putting the pump into service Check the following before starting the pump: - that the shaft guard has been fitted properly - that there is free access for liquid and the pump is primed - that the valve on the discharge side (if fitted) is closed The valve on the discharge side is closed during start-up to prevent the motor from overloading, but should be opened again as soon as the pump has been started.

Remove the o-ring (item 5.5) from the stationary seal face. Note: for numbered items, Use your fingers to remove the rotary seal face (item 5.7) mounted see assembly drawing on in the impeller (item 4).
381497 USA 10-2014 5. Maintenance Note: for numbered items, 16. After fitting, clean the wearing surfaces. see assembly drawing on For liquid-flushed, re-mount the back plate. page 8. 17. Fit the impeller. Check that the location pin (item 8, where fitted) in the top of the back plate, mates with the detent in the pump body and carefully, to avoid damaging the o-ring, press the pump/screw housing (item 1) in over the o-ring (item 6).
381497 USA 10-2014 5. Maintenance Fig. 10: Place plastic star against impeller 12. Place the plastic star (item 31) against the impeller (Fig. 10). Impeller 13. Fit the pump/screw housing and fasten with the clamp ring. See Plastic star "Required torques for housing clamp" table on page 18. Pump/screw 14.
