to 2.2 can be handled with appropriate trimming of impeller. Consult factory for recommended trim.
4 Handling Instructions
1. Do not operate the pump dry.
The sliding parts used in the WMD-100 series pump are lubricated and cooled by the fluid being
pumped. Never operate the pump dry or with the valves on the suction side closed. Otherwise, the
inside of the pump will be damaged. If the pump is unavoidably or accidentally operated dry, with
no obvious damage, allow the pump to cool down for a minimum of one hour before attempting to
restart. Do not allow fluid to enter the pump cavity until the pump has cooled down. Sudden or
rapid cooling of the pump may cause damage to the bearing system. A dry run operation device is
recommended for the prevention of dry pump operation.
2. Starting
Prior to starting the pump, make sure that the power is turned off. Then carry out priming to fill the
pump cavity with liquid.
Next, close the valves on the discharge side. Now you can turn the power on and start up the pump.
When the pump has reached full speed and line pressure is stable, the discharge valves can be
opened to the desired settings.
3. Stopping
When stopping the pump, first close the discharge valve gradually. When it is completely closed,
turn off the power switch so that the pump stops. Never stop the pump suddenly by quickly closing
a valve (i.e., solenoid or hydraulic valves).
Caution
Quick valve closure may cause water hammer which can cause severe damage to the pump.
