INSTALLATION AND STARTUP

Chapter 10 Initial Startup

Startup Procedure

Optional On-Board Wheel Cleaner
There is a solid link that is under the black bellows mounted between the manifold to the top mount plate. Loosen the hose clamp
and slide the bellow up, this will give you a look at the parts underneath the bellows.
The manifolds will be leveled by the four 3/8-16 x 1/2” set screws mounted into the underside of the manifold flange mount plate.
Loosen the four bolts that hold the manifold to the solid link welded assembly. Turn one or more of the set screws in or out to get the
manifolds leveled. Tighten the four bolts back down and check that the manifolds are leveled. Fold the bellows back down and
tighten the hose clamps. Repeat for the other side.

Wheel Cleaner Pump Startup

CAUTION

On startup, the air must be removed from the pump. To do so, loosen the center plug
on the pump, located on the top of the pump between the pump and the coupling guard.
DO NOT start the pump before priming or venting the pump!
Verify the pump rotation according to the arrow on the body of the pump.

a) First fill the tank with water. This is accomplished by turning on
the 1 amp breaker inside the control box. The solenoid valve will
open allowing the water to enter.
b) Confirm that the water shuts off when it reaches the “high level”
float-switch with slosh guard.
c) Open the priming plug on the pump head. With the water source
above the pump the water will be allowed to fill the pump. When a
steady stream of airless water runs out of the priming port, close
the plug and securely tighten.
d) Check rotation by bump starting the motor threw the motor starter
controls. Then verify the motor is turning in the same direction as
the indication arrow.
e) Turn the motor on and check complete system for leaks.
f) Set the control function to auto.
The following information was taken from documents
provided by Grundfos (the pump manufacturer).

Priming
To prime the pump in a closed system or an open system where the
water source is above the pump, close the pump isolation valve(s) and
open the priming plug on the pump head. See Figures 5a, 5b, and 5d.
Gradually open the isolation valve in the suction line until a steady
stream of airless water runs out the priming port. Close the plug and
securely tighten. Completely open the isolation valves.
In open systems where the water level is below the pump inlet, the
suction pipe and pump must be filled and vented of air before starting
the pump. Close the discharge isolation valve and remove the priming
plug. Pour water through the priming hole until the suction pipe and
pump are completely filled with water. If the suction pipe does not slope
downward from the pump toward
the water level, the air must be purged while being filled. Replace the
priming plug and securely tighten.
Note: CR, CRI, CRN 1s to 5: For these pumps, it is advisable to open the bypass valve (Figure 5c) during start-up. The bypass
valve connects the suction and discharge sides of the pump, thus making the filling procedure easier. When the operation
is stable, the bypass valve must be closed.
