Setting Up - Bertolini LIGHT DUTY Serie Manual Del Usuario

Preliminary checks: before starting the pump, make sure that:

The inlet line is connected and sealed.

The filter is clean.

All the seizure valves on the inlet line are open and water normally flows to the pump. Do not run
the pump dry.

All the outline lines are connected to the nozzles.

The coupling allowances between the pump shaft and the driving parts (joints misalignment, cardan
inclinations, shaft-pulley gap, belts stretching, etc.) remain into the limitations foreseen by the
transmission manufacturer.

Replace the oil plug without vent (red colour) by the oil plug with dipstick. This operation could have
already been carried out by the producer of the machine where the pump is installed.

When pump is not working, check that the oil level is halfway up to the sight glass. The oil level can
be also checked by unscrewing the vent plug: the correct level is indicated between the high and
low marks on the dipstick. The correct oil level must be always checked when pump is not working
and is completely cooled down.

Before starting the pump, carefully read the instruction of this manual and the use and maintenance
manual of the machine incorporating the pump.

Make sure that all moving parts are adequately protected and covered and that they cannot be ac-
cessed by unauthorised personnel. For applications with cardan shaft refer to chapter 4.1, for ap-
plication with electric motors or engines refer to chapter 4.2.

If freezing conditions are likely to be met check the possible presence of ice inside the pump.

Carry out the preliminary checks prescribed by the producer of the machine incorporating the
pump.
CAUTION

The pump can be set at work only if the machine in which it is installed it conforms the safety
standards established by the European Directives. This fact is guaranteed by the CE mark
applied and by the Declaration of Conformity provided by the manufacturer of the machine in
which the pump is installed.

Don't use the pump:
-
If it has been subjected to strong impact;
-
If there are visible oil leaks;
-
If there are visible water leaks.
In these cases have the pump be checked by a skilled Technician.

Have a skilled Technician makes the scheduled checks as per the extraordinary maintenance.
