Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
This manual is intended to provide basic installation
and start-up guidance. It is to be read and
thoroughly studied prior to attempting to install or
operate any of the equipment supplied. Equipment
damage, which occurs by not following these
instructions will void the warranty.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Only trained qualified personnel shall be utilized for
installation and start-up.
The following is a general list of safety precautions
that should be followed when installing, starting-up
or servicing the pump. The pump station owner
or operator is ultimately responsible for
ensuring that all equipment is installed, started
up and operated in a safe manner.
• Do not work alone.
• Double check to make sure that all lifting
equipment is in good working order and that it
has adequate lifting capacity for the weight that
it will handle.
• Wear safety helmet, goggles and protective
shoes, or appropriate safety materials required.
• Before working on the pump make sure that
power is disconnected and cannot be energized
by others. Lockout and tag the control panel
circuit breaker.
• Do not stand under suspended loads!
• Never enter or work within a wet well without
first checking to make sure sufficient oxygen is
present and that there are no explosive or
poisonous gases present.
• All personnel, who work with sewage pumping
equipment and systems shall be vaccinated
against diseases that can occur, If there are
any questions or doubts in this area it is
strongly suggested that the local health agency
be contacted.
• For Hazardous Area Classifications, only use
pumps with suitable Explosion Proof Rating.
EQUIPMENT INVENTORY AND
INSPECTION:
Upon arrival of pump shipment carefully unpack all
components and compare with shipping and
purchase order documents to ensure that the order
is complete. Also inspect equipment for any
damage that might have occurred in shipment. If
any problems are detected contact an authorized
HOMA Pump Technology Representative
immediately.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE:
Always lift the pump by its lifting bail or eye.
Never lift the pump by its power cable!
Pumps should be stored in an upright position,
taking extreme care to protect the power cable and
control cables from crushing, nicks, or tears which
would permit water intrusion.
Power cable ends must be protected from
immersion in water as well as moisture intrusion.
The cable will wick water into the pump if it is not
protected properly. Power cable leads should be
covered with shrink tubing or suitable sealing
material.
Short Term Storage: Short term storage is
defined as any time less than six months. We
recommend that pump and accessories be stored
in their original shipping container in a dry,
temperature controlled area. If climate controlled
storage is not possible, all exposed parts should be
inspected before storage and all surfaces that have
the paint scratched, damaged or worn should be
re-coated with suitable paint. When possible it is
best to store the pump in an upright position.
Long Term Storage: Any storage time exceeding
six months is considered long term. In addition to
the safeguards specified above, the impeller should
be rotated once a month to prevent the mechanical
seals and bearings from being damaged, and the
pump should be inspected. The oil in the
mechanical seal chamber should be drained and
replaced prior to commissioning.
