This pump comes completely assembled.
Before attempting to install your Hypro centrifugal pump, it is imperative to read and understand the following:
•
Installation of a Hypro pump should only be performed by a technician having the knowledge and skills necessary
to install the pump without the risk of property damage or injury.
•
When handling Hypro pumps, one should wear steel-toed shoes and protective gloves in order to protect the feet
in the event the pump is dropped and protect the hands from any sharp surfaces on the pump or chemicals.
•
Pumping systems must be installed in accordance with Hypro installation instructions. Failure to do so will void
your warranty and could cause damage to property, serious personal injury, or death
•
Electrical power cables and pump hoses must be routed where there is no risk of personnel tripping, walking into,
or falling because they have been routed in areas where personnel are expected to move. Electrical power cables and
pump hoses should be routed according to local and national standards.
•
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that AC electric-drive motors, Hypro pumps, and metalwork of support
structures are bonded to earth (ground), per local and national standards.
•
It is the installer's responsibility to conduct earth continuity tests between AC electric-drive motors, Hypro pumps,
and metalwork of support structures and earth according to EN60204-1:2006/A1:2009, or its superseding standard, to
confirm that all components that need to be connected to earth are satisfactorily bonded.
•
It is the installer's responsibility to conduct electrical tests in accordance with EN60204-1:2006/A1:2009, or its
superseding standard, on finished pump assemblies.
•
All connections to electrical components must be number, symbol, or color-coded generally as recommended by
EN60204-1:2006/A1:2009, or its superseding standard.
•
For pumps with gas engines, the exhaust must be directed away from operators and anyone standing nearby to
ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter their breathing zone.
•
If a rigid plumbing system is to be used on a Hypro centrifugal pump, the system must be properly aligned with the
inlet and outlet ports.
•
When installing, adjusting or removing a Hypro centrifugal pump, ensure that there are no objects which can fall
on the installer and make certain that all machinery to which the pump is to be attached is turned off.
•
Pumps must be installed in a location where they are accessible for any necessary maintenance.
•
When a main electrical supply is needed to power electric-drive motors, installers are responsible for ensuring that a
supply disconnect device capable of isolating the machine from its electricity supply be provided.
Standard Mounting
•
In order to prevent injury or damage to property, all Hypro pumps should be properly mounted to a solid base where
there is no danger of the pump falling or breaking loose. All Hypro pumps come with mounting holes which allow
bolts to be put into the pump so it can be secured to a sturdy base. When mounting your Hypro centrifugal pump, be
sure to use bolts and nuts which are compatible with any chemicals that may come into contact with them as well as
choosing the correct grade of bolt based on the pump weight and any expected loads. Pumps should be mounted
as close to the liquid source as possible. Non self-priming pumps must be mounted below the liquid level to function
properly.
Pump Plumbing
•
To achieve maximum pump performance the outlet port on the pump should be pointing straight up, and pump
inlet and outlet lines should be at least the same size as their respective port. Pump plumbing must be capable of
withstanding the maximum suction, and pressure, generated by the pump and should have as few restrictions as
possible.
•
For best priming results, the upper most vent plug can be removed and a vent line can be installed. This line prevents
air lock and allows the pump to prime itself by bleeding off trapped air.
