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.
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.
If bends are required, long radius bends should be used.
To help ensure a less turbulent entry into the pump,
a straight length of pipe should be installed between
any bends and the pump inlet. This straight length
should be at least 2.5 times the pump inlet diameter in
length. Pipework supports should be installed to both
inlet and outlet pipes to ensure that they are supported
independently of the pump anges.
Delivery
Upon receipt the unit should be thoroughly inspected for
any damage sustained during transit. Any equipment
damage or shortfall should be immediately advised to
your nearest Davey ofce or Davey customer service
centre.
Storage
If the unit is not to be installed immediately, it should be
stored in a clean, dry and preferably warm environment.
Shafts of stored motors should be rotated occasionally.
Specic vibration during storage may lead to “brinelling”
of the bearings, therefore motors that are subject to
extended storage where vibration exists, should be tted
with bearing locks.
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.
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 using larger
diameter pipework. Larger size pipes have lower
pressure losses for a given ow rate, and may help
reduce the running costs for your pumping system.
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.

Electrical Connection
WARNING: When installing, servicing or
attending pump, always ensure power is
switched off and lead unplugged. Electrical
connections should be serviced only by
qualied persons. If the electrical supply lead
is damaged, it must be replaced.
Ensure all electrical connections are solid and
continuous. Check motor starter and overloads for
correct rating and trip setting. All circuit breakers, HRC
fuses or protective devices associated with the motor
must be rated to suit motor running current and starting
characteristics.
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) Prior to initial start up, the following steps must be
taken:
• Insulation resistance test. On machines up to 600
volt, the minimum value should be 1MΩ.
• Thermistors if tted, should be checked for continuity
with a multimeter and never mega-tested.
• Ensure supply voltage and frequency correspond to
the motor nameplate ratings.
• Ensure shaft turns freely before initial start.
• Measure stator resistance and record in Log Book.
6) 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.
Structural Representation
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 the unit off.
2) Check the motor is rotating in correct direction.
3) Check both motor feet & pump feet are secured
properly.
4) Check drive coupling is secured tightly to the
motor shaft.
5) Check motor bearings are OK.
6) Impeller could be partially blocked causing
imbalance.
Noisy Operation
1) Turn the unit off.
2) Check 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.

Lubrication
Motor bearings are lubricated with lithium based rolling
contact bearing grease, suitable for operation with-in
the cooling air temperature range of -20
For operation outside this temperature range, special
lubricants are required.
Special lubricants or additional maintenance may be
required in the case of motors exposed to comparatively
high degrees of pollution, high humidity, increased
or changed bearing loads, or prolonged continuous
operation.

MOTOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Installation
All motors must be installed in such a manner as
to ensure the air intake is not obstructed. Refer to
dimension “BL” in the cooling section of this catalogue.
Bed plates or slide rails should be rmly xed to a solid,
level foundation to ensure the motor remains rigid and
vibration free. Shims or packers (if required) must be of
adequate size and placed adjacent to and between base
xings. Protective transport coatings on shafts and/or
anges must be removed prior to connection to the
driven load.
Coupling Drive / Service
In tting couplings or pulleys to the motor shaft, care
must be taken to ensure the roller/ball bearings are not
damaged. Tapped holes are provided in shaft extensions
to assist in the tment of couplings and/or pulleys. Under
no circumstances should couplings and/or pulleys be
impact driven onto the shaft. Couplings or pulleys should
be independently balanced with a half key.
Alignment / Service
Great care must be taken in aligning the complete unit,
since misalignment can cause rapid deterioration of
bearings and lead to other mechanical failures due to
the stress produced. After nal tightening of foundation
bolts, machine alignment should be rechecked as bed
plates could distort. No end thrust should be applied to
the motor without express approval.
Operation
Standard motors are designed for a 415 volt (±5% ) 3
phase, 50 Hertz supply. Use of standard motors on
other supply systems should be veried with our ofce
prior to installation. All units are S1 rated to AS1359 and
associated standards, for operation below 1000 metres
at a maximum ambient temperature of 40°C.
For operation in conditions other than that above please
contact Davey.
Electric motor starting imposes severe thermal stress on
the motor, the frequency of starting should be minimized
to ensure optimum machine life.
Number of Starts per hour
The number of starts per hour is dependant on the
inertia of the driven load and the load torque demand.
A guide to generally acceptable starts per hour would be
as per table.
For greater number of starts per hour, please contact
Davey.
In respect to the temperature rise of the motor, starting
time (i.e., from rest to operational speed) should not
exceed the time indicated in the following table. Motor
must be allowed to cool prior to each start.

Based on maximum grease service life of 20,000 hours.
It should be noted that for motors tted with Ball and Roller bearings, the lubrication intervals for both bearings should be
based on the roller bearing data.
The re-lubrication intervals recommended are calculated on the basis of normal working conditions.
Note: Air operated grease guns should not be used.
Replenishment of grease media should be by means of a hand held grease gun whilst motor is running with relief plate
removed.
