LOCATION:
The pump should be installed in a clean, heated
and well ventilated area that allows access for
inspection, cleaning and proper maintenance.
Sufficient space should be provided for installation
and removal.
INSTALLATION:
The 1590 and 1590SC pumps must be installed
vertically. Install isolating valves on each side of
pump so pump maintenance can be performed
with out draining the system. Special mounting
requirements may be required if the pump is to be
mounted near a noise or vibration sensitive area.
A minimum length of straight pipe is required on
the suction side of the pump. Five times the pipe
diameter is sufficient to allow a smooth entry of
water into the pump.
Suction and discharge piping must be in line. Do
not use pump casing to force the alignment of the
piping. Properly support the piping to provide a rigid
support for the pump. Tighten pump flanges evenly
to prevent flange cocking and liquid leakage. Do not
reuse old gaskets.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
Electrical Shock Hazard
All electrical connections are to be made by a
qualified electrician in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious personal injury, death or
property damage.
Electrical Overload Hazard
Ensure all motors have properly sized overload
protection. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious personal injury, death or
property damage.
Sudden Start-Up Hazard
Disconnect and lockout power source before
servicing. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury, death or property
damage.
START-UP:
The pump must be filled with water before start-up
or the mechanical seal will not be lubricated and
will fail. Loosen vent plug on pump casing to ensure
all air is vented from casing and the casing is filled
with water.
Hot Surface Hazard
If pumping hot water, ensure guards or proper
insulation is installed to protect against skin contact
to hot piping or pump components. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in serious personal
injury, death or property damage.
Spraying Water Hazard
When servicing pump, replace all gaskets and seals.
Do not reuse old gaskets or seals. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in serious personal
injury, death or property damage.
Avoid all situations where pipe stain may be
transferred to the pump casing. Expansion fittings
and pipe hangers located close to the pump may be
required. Do not force the piping to match the pump
suction and discharge flanges. Recut the piping to
avoing this situation.
All electrical connections are to be completed by a
qualified electrician. Ensure properly sized overload
protection is installed.
1. Check that the current supply agrees with
the voltage and frequency of the motor
nameplate.
2. Check that the motor is wired for correct
voltage.
3. Check that thermal overload relays are correct
size and set for operation.
OPERATING:
Ensure the system is filled with water and vented
prior to pump start up. The pump rotation is
clockwise when viewed from the back of the motor.
Do not run the pump dry or the mechincal seal will
be destroyed.
