CE CERTIFICATE Declaration of conformity Machinery directive 89/392/EEC, Annex 2A Tapflo AB declares that: Product name: Vertical centrifugal pumps Models: CTV… Is in conformity with the essential health and safety requirements and technical con- struction file requirements of the EC Machinery directive 89/393/EEC with amendments 91/368/EEC, 93/94 EEC and 93/68 EEC.
The personnel in charge of installation, the operation cycle and maintenance of the pumps we STOP produce must be qualified to carry out the operations described in this manual. Tapflo shall not be held responsible for the training level of personnel and for the fact that they are not fully aware of the contents of this manual.
0. GENERAL Description of the pump The CTV pumps are centrifugal, vertical, single-stage pumps with the pump casing directly submer- ged in the liquid. It is driven by a non-synchronus electric motor. The inlet is axial, facing downwards and has a BSP threaded connection. The discharge pipe is vertical, comming up through the base plate and has a BSP threaded connection (other connection types available upon request).
Any changes concerning the service of the pump as originally purchased, can be executed only after written approval from Tapflo. It is recommended to use only genuine Tapflo spare parts and approved accessories. The use of non-original spare parts or non approved accessories will void warranty and removes any re- sponsibility on our behalf for any damage caused to people or things.
1. INSTALLATION Receiving inspection Although precaution is taken by us when packing and shipping, we urge you to carefully check the shipment on receipt. Make sure that all parts and accessories listed on the packing list are accounted for. Immediately report any damage or shortage to the transport company and to us. Storage If the equipment is to be stored prior to installation, place it in a clean location.

1. INSTALLATION Instruments In order to ensure a reasonable control of the performance and the conditions of the pump instal- led, we recommend using the following instruments: a pressure-vacuum gauge on the delivery piping. The output can be read on the pressure, transformed into meters and then compared with the typical curves.
2. OPERATION Start-up The motor shall be connected by qualified personnel only. Check manually that the motor is free to turn, moving the motor cooling fan. Make sure that the piping is not clogged and is free from residues or foreign objects. Bump start the motor to determine the direction of rotation (indicated with an arrow on the motor).
3. MAINTENANCE Maintenance work on electrical installations must be performed by qualified personnel and only when the power supply has been shutoff. Follow the local and national safety regulations. Maintenance schedule The CTV range pumps generally do not require any maintenance. However depending on the application, it may be necessary to once in a while clean the internals of the pump to optimize the performance.
3. MAINTENANCE Assembly and disassembly The assembly and disassembly should only be performed by qualified personnel. While working on the pump protective clothing such as eye glasses and gloves should be worn. Each operation carried out on the machine must always be carried out once all the electrical con- tacts have been disconnected.
3. MAINTENANCE 3.3.2 Dismantling PP & PVDF pumps After removal of eventual suction extension or strainer, place the pump horizontally on a bench. Unscrew counterclockwise the lock ring (132) by inserting suitable tool in the holes. Remove the pump cover (131), if necessary screw a plastic nipple into the pump cover and then pull.
