Description, application and working principle Description WARNING: This manual is intended to give Important Information that must be followed during Storage, Transportation, Installation, Operation and Maintenance of the Pump-Set. We therefore recommend that this manual is read carefully before the Pump-Set is put into operation.
Intended use The PT series piston pump is only intended for pumping water from filters or drainage hose(s), NOT for pumping dirty water drawn directly from the suction hose, with or without a strainer. Long fibres will cause immediate malfunctions. The maximum permissible particle size is 5 mm. Contamination results in accelerated wear of the gland packing, gaskets, valve seals, cylinder sleeves and piston cups.

Safety instruction This manual contains warning and safety symbols. Do not ignore the instructions. They are provided for the benefit of your health and safety and to prevent damage to the environment and the pump unit. DANGER When the danger symbol with the text DANGER is shown, it is accompanied by information that is of great importance for the safety of everyone concerned.

Diesel is hazardous to the environment, with substantial remediation costs if it leaks into a drain, waterway or the ground. Caution: hot surface Caution: crushing danger Hazardous or irritating substances General hazard Danger: high voltage Danger: magnetic field Wear hearing protection Instructions for use Dispose of in an environmentally responsible manner at the end of the product's useful life.
Lifting instructions PT250 pump unit DANGER Never walk under a raised load. This can result in a life-threatening situation. WARNING Always disconnect all external connections before moving the pump unit. WARNING Neither the lifting eye on the engine nor the lifting eye of the (bare shaft) pump may be used for transport of the pump unit.

DANGER The standard lifting eyes on BBA pump units, both in low-noise enclosure and open frame, are NOT designed to lift the additional weight of trailers or other components. It is strictly forbidden to use the standard lifting provision to lift or move the pump units with a higher total weight than stated in the specification sheets.
Pump unit installation Placement – general WARNING Failure to follow the guidelines for the placement and installation of the pump can result in danger to the user and/or severe damage to the pump unit. Note BBA Pumps is not responsible for accidents and damage that result from failure to follow the guidelines in this manual.
Pump – general Preparation for starting the pump unit The PT series pumps are self-priming piston pumps with leather piston cups. When the piston cups are wet they expand against the cylinder sleeve so that the pump can build up vacuum. Therefore the pump housing must be filled with water.
Checking the direction of rotation WARNING This test may only be performed by authorised personnel with the appropriate training. Check whether the direction of rotation of the motor matches that of the pump. To check the direction of rotation the motor must be switched on briefly. The motor must not be allowed to reach the normal operating speed.
Daily maintenance of the pump − Check the oil level of the pump. Note If the oil in the pump drive has become whitish in colour, replace the oil. The whitish colour may indicate the presence of excessive condensation water in the oil. −...
Preperation for starting 1. Take any necessary measures to ensure that the electrical connections and cables cannot be damaged 2. The voltage and frequency must be checked in advance and must match the motor specifications. This data is shown on the type plate of the motor. 3.
Starting and stopping 1. To start the pump, make shore main switch is on “0” position (1) the switch must first be turned to the star (2) position, and then turned to the delta (3) position within one second. 2. switch must first be turned to the star (2) position for about 1 second. 3.

Stopping To stop the motor, the switch must first be turned from Delta (3) position to the star (2) position, and then turned to the neutral position (1) within one second. − When you suspect that the liquid is beginning to freeze, drain the pump while the medium is still in the liquid state.
Regulating vacuum on suction line If it is necessary to reduce the vacuum on the header pipe somewhat, this can be accomplished by slightly readjusting the blow valve (1) on the pump. This results in a bit of air leakage developing in the pump at the stone catcher, which will slightly reduce the total vacuum on the header pipe.
Monitoring during operation 1. During operation check the pump regularly for correct functioning, smooth and vibration-free running abnormal noises and leaks. 2. If the pump has pumped for a long time without having moved water, the pump housing must be filled with water, because the cups shrink after having run dry for a long time.
Draining the pump when there is danger of freezing If there is a danger of freezing, a pump used to pump a liquid that may freeze must be drained (while at a standstill). 1. Turn off the motor. 2. Open valves (covers / plugs) (1,2,3,4,5,6), make sure they are not clogged, clean them if clogged. WARNING Make sure that all the drained liquid is contained in a proper manner and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Troubleshooting table WARNING In the event of a malfunction or abnormal operation, shut off the pump immediately to prevent a dangerous situation and/or damage to the unit. Problem Possible cause Solution No flow while the pump and drive Wellpoint system is not properly Check the wellpoint system and are running.
