Introduction
Foreward
We thank you for choosing an ITT pump, which will undoubtedly serve you both reliably
and economically for a long time, providing you observe the Maintenance instructions given
in this manual.
The Vortex pump is designed to pump sewage and other solids containing waste water.
Proper use and maintenance will prolong the operational life of your ITT pump. This
manual contains different warnings and safety instruction. Read this manual properly, so
that dangerous situations, physical injury or damage can be avoided. The pump is designed
for professional use only. Service and maintenance may only be done by authorized
personal, after reading this manual. The pump in basic version may not be used in a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Description
This manual provides instructions for the Installation, Operation and Maintenance of the
Vortex pumps. This manual covers the standard product plus common options that are
available.
Requirement
Content
Key Topics
This manual must be read and understood before installation and start-up. ITT shall not be
liable for physical injury, damage or delays caused by a failure to observe the instructions for
installation, operation and maintenance contained in this manual.
This instruction manual covers several different pump models that all have similar power
end configurations. Most assembly, disassembly and inspection procedures are the same for
all the pumps. However, where there are differences, they are called out separately within
the manual. The design, materials and workmanship incorporated in the construction of
the pumps makes them capable of giving long, trouble free service. The life and satisfactory
service of any mechanical unit, however, is enhanced and extended by correct application,
proper installation, periodic inspection, condition monitoring and careful maintenance. This
instruction manual was prepared to assist operators in understanding the construction and
the correct methods of installing, operating and maintaining these pumps.
