End Suction Centrifugal GS Series 6. INSTALLATION INSTALLATION POINT (1) Install the equipment in an easily accessible place in order to carry out overhauls and maintenance. (2) Prohibit access to unauthorized persons by using related closure points. (3) Place the equipment as close as possible to the water supply, making sure that the difference in height between the water surface and the pump shaft is minimal and that the length of the suction pipe is as short as possible.
End Suction Centrifugal GS Series Generally, an incorrect cement base is the cause of premature failure and this invalidates the warranty period. PIPES The installation must be done according to the arrangement shown in the Figure: Pump Motor Mount Elastic sleeve...

End Suction Centrifugal GS Series 5. Suction systems: - The bottom end of the suction pipe must remain submerged and at a depth of at least twice the diameter of the pipe (2D) and at a distance from the bottom of 1 time to 1 and a half times the diameter (1~1.5 D).
End Suction Centrifugal GS Series ALIGNMENT Pumps supplied with motors are connected to these through a simple elastic coupling or with a spacer. The pumps come on the market after being aligned within the production center; nevertheless, during installation, the top of the coupling assembly usually becomes misaligned due to anchoring with anchor pins.
End Suction Centrifugal GS Series If the pump was purchased without a motor, but the intention is to connect one during installation, you will need to correct the shift of the coupling by inserting a plate under the feet of the motor, by adjusting the disparity according to the range shown in the Figure.
End Suction Centrifugal GS Series 6.6.2 ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE Any work on the motor must be carried out with the appliance switched off and after disconnecting the mains power supply. - Check on a regular basis that the requirements regarding installation and electrical connections are complied with.
End Suction Centrifugal GS Series STARTING THE PUMP 1. Shut off the main delivery valve. Open the suction valve if it is closed. 2. Turn on and off the switch to start the motor once or twice, to ensure that there are no faults in the startup.
End Suction Centrifugal GS Series PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION 1. Operating the pump for a long period of time with the delivery valve closed may cause damage to some of the pump components due to overheating inside the pump. 2. Too many stops and starts can cause damage to the pump. Limiting the number of starts is recommended in line with the following: N ≤...
