Care of Stainless Steel The stainless steel components in Dixon Sanitary equipment are machined, welded, and assembled by skilled craftsmen using ® manufacturing methods that preserve the corrosion-resistant quality of the stainless steel. Retention of corrosion-resistant qualities under processing conditions requires regular attention to the precautions listed below. Examples of corrosion that can result from improper care are included below.
The Dixon ExD-series centrifugal pump is made up of two sections: the pump components (wet end) and the motor. The pump is mounted to the motor with a stainless steel adapter and is coupled to the motor shaft with a stainless steel shaft sleeve and stub shaft.

Installation Unpacking • Carefully unpack all parts of the pump and inspect for damages that may have occurred during shipment. Report any damages to the carrier immediately. • The ports on the pump are protected with a plastic cover. If any covers are missing or damaged, inspect the ports on the pump thoroughly for any damage.
Assembly Attach motor flange (item X1) to adapter (item X2) using the four socket head cap screws (item X1A). Ensure that the drain hole in the bottom of the adapter (item X2) and the drain slot in the back of the motor flange (item X1) are facing the same direction. Setting the shaft sleeve: a.

Installation Optional Leg Kit Installation and Leveling The pump can be easily leveled by installing the optional leg kit. Using an adjustable wrench, fit the wrench to the wrench flat shown in the diagram below. When viewed from the top, turn the wrench in a counterclockwise direction to lower the leg, or turn in a clockwise direction to raise leg.

Installation Piping: General Guidelines WARNING: Improper piping can lead to a number of problems with pump performance which could lead to increased maintenance costs. Proximity • Ensure piping is independently supported at both the suction to Volute and discharge ports of the pump (see diagram to the right). •...
Page 17
Installation Piping: Suction Guidelines (cont.) • To prevent air leaks, ensure all joints in suction line are well sealed. • Use an eccentric reducer with straight side up to prevent air pockets Concentric from forming which will result in a decrease in pump efficiency (see Reducer diagram to right).
• Verify motor nameplate data is compatible with existing electrical supply. • Verify pump rotation. An arrow sticker is supplied with every pump to show correct pump rotation. If the arrow stickers are missing, contact Dixon Sanitary at 800.789.1718 for a replacement.
Operation Priming the Pump WARNING: To avoid damage to the pump, the pump casing must be flooded with liquid BEFORE starting the pump. NOTE: This is not a self-priming pump. Other means must be installed to prime the pump. Fluid supply above the pump: Open supply line isolation valve.
Page 20
Operation Priming the Pump Fluid supply below pump: Close discharge valve and open air vents. Open valve in external priming supply line. Close once liquid flows from vent valves. Close vent valves. Turn off priming supply line. Start pump. If the fluid supply is above the pump see page 19. Control Valve External priming...
Operation Starting the Pump Ensure pump suction is flooded using either method as explained in the previous priming section. Check for any closed valves or obstructions in the suction and discharge lines. Start the motor. Verify liquid is flowing and there is no piping connection or mechanical seal leaks. Adjust throttling valve or discharge line to desired flow.
Recommended Maintenance Motor Maintenance Proper motor maintenance is a critical part of maintaining the entire motor/pump assembly. If the motor is not properly maintained, the potential failure of the motor's mechanical components can transmit to the pump and possibly cause issues with sealing and general pump operation.
Disassembly Remove the adapter guards: a. Remove the guard screws using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two safety guards (item X3) attached to the adapter. Remove the front cover from the casing: a. Remove the front cover wing nuts (item X10) using an adjustable wrench. b.
