4. Setup
Proper installation is crucial for the pump's performance and longevity. Follow these steps carefully:
- Mounting: Securely mount the pump on a firm, level, and vibration-free surface. Ensure it is protected from direct weather exposure if installed outdoors.
- Piping Connections: Connect the suction and discharge pipes. Use appropriate fittings and ensure all connections are airtight to prevent air leaks, which can affect self-priming. The suction pipe should be as short and straight as possible.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the pump to a 220 Volt monophase power supply. Ensure the electrical circuit is protected by a suitable circuit breaker and residual current device (RCD). Wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations.
- Priming (Initial Start-up): As this is a self-priming pump, it will automatically evacuate air from the suction line. However, for the very first start-up or after extended periods of disuse, it is recommended to fill the pump casing with water through the priming port (if available) to accelerate the priming process.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and primed, operating the EBARA Serie AGA 1.00 M pump is straightforward:
- Starting the Pump: Ensure all valves in the suction and discharge lines are open. Switch on the electrical power supply to the pump. The pump will start and begin to draw water.
- Monitoring: Observe the pump during the first few minutes of operation. Check for any unusual noises, vibrations, or leaks. Ensure a steady flow of water is established.
- Stopping the Pump: To stop the pump, simply switch off the electrical power supply. Close any necessary valves to prevent backflow or siphoning.
- Extended Use: For continuous operation, periodically check the pump's temperature and performance. Avoid running the pump dry, as this can cause severe damage.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your EBARA pump.
- Routine Checks: Periodically inspect the pump for any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. Check electrical connections for tightness and integrity.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free from debris. If the pump is used in dirty water applications, regularly check and clean the impeller and pump casing for blockages.
- Winterization: In areas prone to freezing temperatures, drain the pump completely and store it in a frost-free environment to prevent damage from ice expansion.
- Seal Replacement: If water leakage is observed from the shaft seal area, it may indicate a worn seal. This should be replaced by a qualified technician.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pump.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start | No power supply; Motor overload; Faulty switch/wiring. | Check power connection and circuit breaker. Allow motor to cool if overloaded. Inspect wiring. |
| Pump runs but no water flow | Pump not primed; Air leak in suction line; Suction lift too high; Impeller clogged. | Ensure pump is primed. Check suction line for leaks. Verify suction lift is within specifications. Clean impeller. |
| Reduced water flow/pressure | Partial blockage in pipes/impeller; Worn impeller/diffuser; Air in system. | Inspect and clear blockages. Check for air leaks. Consider professional inspection for worn parts. |
| Excessive noise or vibration | Cavitation (air in water); Loose mounting; Worn bearings; Foreign object in pump. | Check for air leaks in suction. Secure mounting. Inspect for foreign objects. Contact service for worn bearings. |
If you are unable to resolve an issue using this guide, please contact a qualified technician or EBARA customer support.
