Please pass these instructions on to the operator of this equipment.
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a quality Davey product. It
is our commitment to satisfy our customers by offering
our very best service.
This manual contains instruction for installation,
operation and maintenance of ISOspec® CF
bareshaft, single stage, non-self priming, centrifugal
pumps. Therefore, please read it carefully before use
to obtain a long satisfying service life of the purchased
unit.
Davey ISOspec® CF bareshaft centrifugal pumps are
designed with high efciency and low maintenance
features.
Specications
Model designation (example) :-

Inspection of Pump
Always check on receipt of delivery you have
received the correct pump unit. To identify, see above
specications and label below. Check correct motor
kW & speed on motor nameplate (attached to motor)
prior to installation.
Installation Location
It is important to select a site as close to the
liquid source as possible. When a suction lift is
unavoidable, install the pump as near to the water
level as possible (see suction piping). You should
always check the maximum permissible lift of the
pump from its performance curve.
Foundations
The pump unit should be mounted on a foundation
that is substantial enough to withstand the weight of
the unit & large enough to accommodate all mounting
feet so they can be securely xed to avoid movement.
Suction Piping
All ttings & suction piping should be free of air leaks.
When a suction lift or long suction lengths are
unavoidable, consideration should be given to over
sizing the suction line to reduce suction losses. On
suction lifts a foot valve will be required, sized equal to
the suction line size. For applications on creek beds
or dams, please install a foot valve & strainer, well
submerged below the surface, to reduce whirlpools
& air inclusion. Air inclusion can result in cavitation
reducing the pump performance & eventually
destroying the pump or its components.
Driving Options
Your ISOspec® pump can be driven by a variety of
means. The best option is to direct drive via a suitable
coupling. If you must belt drive your ISOspec® pump,
lower speed (rpm). Limits may apply - see below:
Long radius bends should be installed & a straight
length of piping equal to 2.5, the impeller diameter,
should be observed. Supporters should be equipped
to the inlet pipeline and outlet pipeline to avoid the
pump ange bearing too much tension force.
Discharge Piping
Discharge piping must be selected of a size that
would equal the discharge of the pump. For long
discharge lengths, consideration should be given to
oversize to minimize discharge losses reducing ow.
Talk to your nearest Davey dealer to calculate all
system losses. To avoid air pockets in discharge
lines at high points, vent cocks may be required to
release air blocks accumulated within the system. Air
pockets may affect the performance of the pump. A
throttling valve should be installed in the discharge
line to ensure the pump works within the performance
curve.

Starting
Caution: Do not attempt to run pump if it
has not been lled with water ( primed).
Severe damage will result to shaft seal.
1) Ensure the suction line & pump casing is full of water
open suction valve if tted.
2) Check power is off & rotate the pump shaft slowly to
release any trapped air within the pump casing.
3) Close the discharge valve.
4) Check the direction of rotation on the pump casing or
motor cover.
5) If this is correct you may now start the pump, when
it reaches full speed you will see the pressure in the
discharge line rise. Slowly open the discharge valve
until the pump adjusts to maintain its duty point.
Trouble Shooting
Pump is running but failing to deliver water or
desired pressure.
1) Turn the unit off.
2) Check suction line is free of debris or blockages
& check that the pump has not lost its prime. If
so, remove blockage & repeat Starting at step 1).
3) Check that the suction valve is open.
4) Check that the discharge valve is open.
5) Check for air leaks. These may not always be
visible to the naked eye unless pressure is applied
to the suction line.
6) Check that the suction line is not too long.
7) Is suction line to pump excessive?
8) Is the foot valve stuck open or undersized?
9) Is speed too slow?
10) Check motor direction rotation.
11) Check for possible clogging in impeller vanes
12) Is the discharge piping undersized for
applications.

Excessive Vibration
1) Turn unit off
2) Check motor is rotating in correct direction
3) Check both motor feet & pump feet are secured
properly.
4) Check coupling rubbers are not worn
5) Check drive couplings are secured tightly to the
pump & drive shafts.
6) Check pump & motor bearings are OK
7) If so, alignment will need to be performed
8) Impeller could be partially blocked causing
imbalance
Noisy Operation
1) Turn unit off
2) Check pump or motor bearings
3) Check pump is primed
4) Check suction line is not damaged causing
insufcient supply & resulting in cavitation
5) Check you are not pumping solids
High Power Consumption
1) Check direction of rotation
2) Check operating speed on the motor matches the
intended performance curve speed.
3) Check that the estimated head is correct as pump
may be running down on its curve producing high
ow but drawing more power. Throttle the pump
back on to its curve via discharge gate valve or
reduce impeller diameter.
4) The Specic Gravity or Density of the liquid is
greater than 1kg/litre affecting power draw.
5) Check impeller diameter for the correct size to
establish maximum power requirement at duty
point.
In accordance with AS 3350.2.41 we are obliged
to inform you that this pump is not to be used by
children or inrm persons and must not be used
as a toy by children.
Lubrication
Pump bearings are greased for life.
Motor bearings refer to Motor manufacturers
recommendations.
