General Instructions - Pentair MYERS 5 HP Quick Prime Serie Instrucciones De Operacion Y Mantenimiento

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The pump is designed to operate at total suction lifts not
exceeding 25 feet. (See curve page).
Warranty void if overload protection is not furnished in
control box. Motor warranty only applies to installations
with current overload protection. Outdoor installations
require outdoor rated control box enclosure.
Shipping Damage
The pump carries a one-year warranty against defects
in materials and workmanship. This warranty, however,
does not apply to parts damaged in transit. Check the
shipment carefully and report damage or shortages to the
transportation company or your supplier immediately.
Location
The pump should be located in an easily accessible place as
close to the liquid source as possible. It should be installed
in a clean, dry, and well ventilated place allowing room to
inspect and service the unit. If located in a pit, the pit should
be protected against flooding.
Foundation
The pump must be securely fastened to a solid foundation.
The pump should always be mounted in a horizontal position
on a level foundation. Failure to properly secure the pump
may result in failure of the pump or piping and damage to
the surrounding area.
Suction Piping
Do not exceed 25' total suction lift. If excessive total suction
lifts are encountered, do one or more of the following to
correct this condition:
1. Install pump closer to liquid source.
2. Increase pump suction pipe size.
3. Simplify suction piping by elimination of valves and
fittings where possible.
4. Decrease pump capacity. Pump capacity is directly
affected by installation piping.
The pump case is tapped for a 2W' pipe.
Discharge Piping
The pump case is tapped for 2" pipe. Larger or smaller pipe
may be used depending upon the installation. Do not exceed
150 psi discharge pressure.
Voltage Data
Single phase motors as received will be wired for 230V
operation.
All three phase motors are 207/230/460V units. Insure that
the motor connections are correct for the voltage available.
(Instructions will be found on motor.)
The voltage available at the motor must be within ±10%
of the rated voltage. For offset installations be sure that
adequate wire size is used for the size motor involved.
