• Do not exceed the output given on the motor name plate. • Avoid sudden changes in temperature (temperature schoks). • The pump and motor should run evenly and without vibrations; check at least once a week. Maximum number of starts per hour 0.25-3.00 4.00-7.50 11-15 18.5-22...
• If possible, place the pump slightly higher than the floor level. • The ambient temperature must be between 0°C (+32°F) and +40°C (+104°F). • The relative humidity of the ambient air must be less than 50% at +40°C (+104°F). • Contact the Sales and Service Department if: www.etna.com.tr...
– The relative air humidity conditions exceed the guidelines. – The room temperature exceeds +40°C (+104°F). – The unit is located more than 1000 m (3000 ft) above the sea level. The motor performance may need to be de-rated or replaced with a more powerful motor Pump positions and clearance Provide adequate light and clearance around the pump.
• The electrical leads are protected from high temperature, vibrations, and collisions. • The power supply line is provided with: – A short-circuit protection device – A mains isolator switch with a contact gap of at least 3 mm www.etna.com.tr...

• Adequate space between pump or motor shaft must be left depending on the used coupling. • Between pump and base frame must be an adequate shimming, so that in case of replacement the same height between bottom and centerline can be adjusted (recommended vertical adjustment 47-6 mm) www.etna.com.tr...
4.3.2 Piping Checklist Check that the following are adhered to: • The suction lift line has been laid with a rising slope, at positive suction head line with a downward slope towards the pump Fig. 6 page 34. • The nominal diameters of the pipelines are at least equal to the nominal diameters of the pump ports. •...
For wiring diagrams, see Figure 11 on page 36. The diagrams are also available on the back of the terminal box cover. a) Connect the ground (earth) lead. Make sure that the ground (earth) lead is longer than the phase leads. b) Connect the phase leads. 3. Mount the terminal box cover. www.etna.com.tr...
NOTICE: Tighten the cable glands carefully to ensure protection against cable slipping and humidity entering the terminal box. 4. If the motor is not equipped with automatic reset thermal protection, then adjust the overload protection according to the list below. –...
2. Gradually open the on-off valve on the discharge side of the pump. At the expected operating conditions, the pump must run smoothly and quietly. If not, refer to Troubleshooting on page 27-30. 6.MAINTENANCE Precautions Electrical Hazard: Disconnect and lock out electrical power before installing or servicing the unit. www.etna.com.tr...
WARNING: • Maintenance and service must be performed by skilled and qualified personnel only. • Observe accident prevention regulations in force. • Use suitable equipment and protection. • Make sure that the drained liquid does not cause damage or injuries. 6.1 Service If the user wishes to schedule regular maintenance deadlines, they are dependent on the type of pumped liquid and on the operating conditions of the pump.
• Loosen screws for support foot from the base frame. • Hang the Back Pull Out Assembly onto a lifting device, so that it won´t sink down or press into the volute casing during the dismounting. Example see picture 1 for lifting recommendations. www.etna.com.tr...

7.7 The Stuffing Box Use the sectional drawing and cover seal chamber for stuffing box. • Remove and disassemble the pump according to the installation, operation and user manual. The stuffing box is the name given to the hole section which houses the seal around the pump shaft preserving the barrier between the inner and outer diameter of the pump shaft or sleeve, while allowing the shaft to turn in the casing in a way that allows movement and prevents leakage.
