ABRIDGED STARTUP PROCEDURES

(For further instructions, please see Section 5. Installation and Operation)

Sample Inspection Report

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Obtain a copy of the Teikoku Inspection Report (shown above) to verify flow conditions.
Verify the liquid level in the vessel is sufficient to not cause dry running or cavitation.
Verify the reverse circulation piping is per Teikokus Reverse Circulation Piping Connection
as shown on the previous two pages.
Verify the supplied reverse circulation orifice is installed between the reverse circulation
flange at the rear of the motor and the reverse circulation piping.
Verify that the number stamped on the orifice handle matches the product code on the pump
nameplate.

PRIMING THE PUMP

Step 1: Open the reverse circulation valve and discharge valve to 100% open
Step 2: Open the suction valve to 100% open to fill the pump with liquid
Step 3: Let pump fill for a minimum of ten (10) minutes to allow vapor to vent from pump and
motor. On sub-freezing applications, wait until a layer of frost has developed on the entire motor
before starting.

ROTATION CHECK
Step 1: Pump must be primed before checking rotation.
Step 2: Check if suction valve, discharge valve, and reverse circulation valve are all 100% open.
Step 3: Start motor. If the Bearing Wear Monitor (TRG) swings immediately to the red, the pump
is most likely running backwards. Stop the motor, reverse the leads, and then repeat rotation
check.
(Alternate Step 3: You should also check if the discharge pressure matches the Teikoku
Inspection Report curve. If it does, the pump is rotating correctly. If the discharge pressure is
65% or less than what is shown on the curve, the pump is rotating in the reverse direction. Swap
the leads and repeat rotation check.)
STARTING THE PUMP
Step 1: Make sure the pump is primed and is running in the correct rotation. Also, verify that the
suction valve and the reverse circulation valve is 100% open.
Step 2: Close the discharge valve to 20% open
Step 3: Start the motor.
Step 4: Slowly open the discharge valve till you reach the desired flow rate.
CHECKS DURING PUMP OPERATION
x
x
x
x

Pump should be operating without excessive noise or vibration.

Compare the amperage draw to the Teikoku Inspection Report. If the amperage is above
the values shown on the chart, close the discharge valve until the amperage drops.
Confirm that the Bearing Wear Monitor (TRG) is running in the green (if bearings are
new).
Confirm the pump is running at the rated discharge pressure.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE THE

PUMP IF THE BEARING WEAR MONITOR
IS RUNNING IN THE RED. DOING SO WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
