The SJC is of rotodynamic (OH-centrifugal) type. Meaning that kinetic energy is continuously transferred to the liquid by means of rotating impeller. In addition, the SJC is considered a medium duty slurry pump which can handle solids and abrasive materials within the pumped mixture.
Page 6
1.1.5 Pump Principal The SJC pump impeller imparts liquid velocity to the casing. The casing converts the velocity energy to pressure energy and guides the liquid out the discharge. The pressure difference between the pump discharge and downline piping induces flow.

VFDs. SAFETY CONCERNS Summit Pump expects the end user to comply with industry and on-site safety protocols. In addition, the end user is expected to understand the product that is being supplied and all appropriate industrial standards for their application. Individuals involved in the installation, operation and maintenance (IOM) of the pumping equipment should be able to identify and eliminate unsafe environments.

Immediately upon arrival, carefully inspect the pump for evidence of damage during transit. Immediately report any damage to your local Summit Pump, Inc. Distributor and make a claim with the shipping carrier. Locate, read and understand all tags on the pump and installation operation and maintenance manual for the pump.

5 INSTALLATION GENERAL Summit pumps are assembled at the factory. Follow all instruction tags on the pump. Ensure all fluid properties and application requirements have been considered and relayed to manufacturer and/or distributor. Suction piping should be as short and direct as possible. Electrical grounding of the pump and base assembly shall be completed.
Page 14
Piping should be at least the same size of the pump’s suction nozzle or larger. The SJC is not a self-priming pump and must be primed with casing and suction line full of liquid prior to startup. Install one isolation valve for maintenance.

STUFFING BOX The stuffing box comes standard with packing, and mechanical seals are optional. The SJC pump are designed for medium duty slurry applications and pumped liquid should be kept away from packing or rotating mechanical seal faces. The common way to accomplish this is to introduce clean liquid such as water into the stuffing box at a higher pressure than the stuffing box pressure without the clean liquid flush.
Page 21
The SJC pump is considered a medium duty slurry pump and is expected to see abrasive particles in the stuffing box area. The abrasiveness of these particles can lead to premature wear of the seal faces. To reduce this wear a clean liquid flush may be necessary.

Never add oil to grease lubricated pumps. SJC pumps are standard grease lubricated, as an option oil lubrication is available. Oil lubricated pumps are not shipped with oil from the factory. Oil must be added prior to the first startup.
