Location of warning labels and caution labels The figure shows the locations of warning labels and caution labels. If these labels become dirty and illegible or if they are peeled off, replace them with a new one. Warning Caution Observe all the warnings and cautions affixed to the machine as well as those described in this instruction manual.
2. Configuration and overview of the pump This chapter describes the standard specifications of the pump. If you have purchased a customized product, some information in this chapter may not be applicable to your unit. Refer to the delivery specifications for the details separately. Model type description S J S 3 .
* 2 The liquid exceeding 80°C might be available, depending on the usage condition. Contact your nearest office of Teral. * 3 The total suction head shows the values when the water temperature is 20 °C. The maximum value of the total suction head decreases when the pump is used with warm water.
3. Installation Before using the pump Upon receiving the pump, check the following points first. The container may greatly incline depending on its center of gravity. Caution Before unpacking, ensure that the delivered container is placed in the correct orientation (not upside down). Pay special attention to nails especially when opening a wooden crate.
Page 11
Caution Install the product so that the total suction head (suction height + suction pipe resistance) is as small as possible within the standard specifications. Caution Do not install the pump at an upward curve of piping (where air is trapped). Failure to observe this may cause the pump to run dry, and seize up the sliding part in the pump.
(7) If the system could be exposed to the freezing temperature in winter, ensure to take measures to prevent freezing in the pump room or to prevent the pump, sluice valves, piping, and other devices from freezing. (8) Use sound-insulating materials for door and walls of the pump room. Especially if there is a risk that the noise may cause problem, take necessary measures against the noise.
(8) Be sure to align the shafts correctly. Although the shaft is aligned at the factory before shipment, it could get misaligned during transportation or installation (at fastening the anchor bolts). Check the alignment and re-align it after the installation is complete. Parallel ruler Max.

(2) Be sure to provide pipe supports so that the weight of pipes is not applied directly to the pump main body. Caution Be sure to provide pipe supports for the pipes. Otherwise, the main shaft may be displaced from the center, thus leading to the equipment damage, vibration, or noise.

Do not use the inverter to drive a motor equipped with a self-protecting device. • When driving a 400V-class motor, contact your nearest office of Teral. In some cases it might be necessary to take measures for inverter surge. •...
4. Operation Check items before test operation 4.1.1 Check items related to the electrical system Warning Before changing the wiring, be sure to turn off the main power supply. Otherwise, you may receive an electric shock. Warning Do not use the product at any voltage other than the rated value. A fire or electric shock may occur.
(4) If the sluice valve is installed on the suction side, fully open the valve. (5) Prime the pump until water overflows from the priming funnel or the priming port. At that time, loosen the air vent cock to release air from the pump. Warning When priming the pump (air venting), prevent the damage of the motor and parts from the spouting water.

Caution For overhaul, replacement of parts, or repairs, ask the vendor, the servicing company specified by Teral, or your nearest Teral sales office. Incorrect work may cause a failure or accident. Precautions for maintenance and inspection (1) Observe the following instructions, in particular, during daily inspection.
Warning In the event of a power failure, be sure to turn off the power switch. The pump may suddenly start up on restoration of the power, which leads to a danger. ○ Check the strainer fitted on the pump suction side, for any clogging. Clean it if it is clogged. Caution Periodically clean the strainer located on the pump suction side.
5.2.2 Double mechanical seal Caution Carefully handle the flushing liquid. Do not touch the liquid with bare hands and ware a goggle to protect your eyes. Also keep your hands and face away from the flushing part, when the pump is operating. Liquid leaks and it may lead to eye injury. (1) The double mechanical seal must never run dry without lubrication.

(5) Insert the gland packing rings carefully one by one, as far as it will go. In addition, the rings should be oriented so that each of their adjacent cut slits will be 90 to 120 degrees apart. (6) Gland packing is a consumable part. Its life depends on the quality of liquid, having foreign objects or no, pressure, etc.
