INSTALLATION
INCLUDES THROTTLE BUSHING AND LIP REPLACEMENT
INSPECTION
Check pump for shortage and damage immediately upon
arrival. Note damage or shortage on freight bill (bill of
lading); immediately file claim with carrier.
EXTERIOR
— Pay particular attention to conduit box,
external hardware and accessories. Touch up abrasions
or scratches with approved paint.
INTERNAL
— If extensive or serious external damage
is noted, if impeller is damaged (look in ports), or if shaft
binds or sticks, disassemble as required to permit
internal inspection.
HANDLING
Handle with care. Dropping or jarring can seriously dam-
age motor bearings or break pump parts. Lift with device
having capacity for pump weight, and use lifting hooks or
eye bolts (if provided) or rig double sling around motor
frame and pump casing. Do not use sling through pump
motor adapter nor around suction and discharge flanges.
INSTALLATION
Location
— Pump location should provide the following:
1. Pump must be completely submerged in liquid.
Location should allow for liquid level to reach "min
level" line that is cast on adapter.
2. NPSH must meet or exceed pump requirement.
3. Allow room for inspection and maintenance.
4. Correct power supply to motor; all wiring should
meet National Electrical and Local Codes and
Regulations.
5. If outdoors, protection from the elements, freezing
and water damage due to flooding.
6. Tank or cabinet reservoir size must be large enough
to allow for velocity/turbulence of liquid based on
pump performance characteristics.

MAINTENANCE
Mounting Plate
— Mount pump to cabinet or tank
with Scot mounting plate Model MP11 or MP13 as follows:
MP11:
1. Locate mounting plates around machined column on
adapter.
2. Set pump case to proper height.
3. Tighten (2) bolts evenly to 50 ft. lbs. maximum
torque. Over tightening will cause adapter to crack.
4. Install pump to cabinet or tank with (4) bolts.
MP13:
1. Attach mounting plate to adapter by inserting cap
screw through plate, adapter and into motor C-face.
Tighten alernately and evenly.
2. Install pump to cabinet or tank with (4) bolts.
Piping
— Suction and discharge gauges are useful to
check pump operation and are excellent trouble
indicators. Install gauges in the lines. Observe these pre-
cautions when installing piping:
1. Support close to, but independently of pump.
2. Use the next larger pump size for suction (if used)
and discharge.
3. Keep as straight as possible. Avoid bends and fit-
tings.
4. Remove burrs, sharp edges, ream pipe cuts and
make joints air-tight.
5. Don't spring pipe to make connections. Strain must
not be transmitted to pump.
6. Allow for pipe expansion with hot fluids; expansion
joints are not recommended.
Suction
— Pump does not require suction piping.
1. A screen or filter is recommended to prevent large
particles from entering suction. Screen or filter must
not restrict pump suction.
2. Position pump in tank to allow adequate space
(approx. 3") between pump suction and bottom of
tank. This will prevent pump from being restricted by
bottom of tank or cabinet.
