Commissioning, Startup, <strong>Operation</strong>, <strong>and</strong> Shutdown (Continued)Start the pumpCAUTION:• Immediately observe the pressure gauges. If discharge pressure is not quickly attained, stop the driver,reprime, <strong>and</strong> attempt to restart the pump.• Observe the pump for vibration levels, bearing temperature, <strong>and</strong> excessive noise. If normal levels areexceeded, shut down the pump <strong>and</strong> resolve the issue.Before you start the pump, you must perform these tasks:• Open the suction valve.• Open any recirculation or cooling lines.1. Fully close or partially open the discharge valve, depending on system conditions.2. Start the driver.3. Slowly open the discharge valve until the pump reaches the desired flow.4. Immediately check the pressure gauge to ensure that the pump quickly reaches the correct dischargepressure.5. If the pump fails to reach the correct pressure, perform these steps:a) Stop the driver.b) Prime the pump again.c) Restart the driver.6. Monitor the pump while it is operating:a) Check the pump for bearing temperature, excessive vibration, <strong>and</strong> noise.b) If the pump exceeds normal levels, then shut down the pump immediately <strong>and</strong> correct theproblem.A pump can exceed normal levels for several reasons. See Troubleshooting for information aboutpossible solutions to this problem.7. Repeat steps 5 <strong>and</strong> 6 until the pump runs properly.Activate the i-ALERT Condition MonitorWARNING:Never heat the condition monitor to temperatures in excess of 300°F (149°C). Heating to thesetemperatures could result in death or serious injury.CAUTION:Always wear protective gloves. The pump <strong>and</strong> condition monitor can be hot.NOTICE:Do not use the condition monitor in atmospheres containing acetic acid.The condition monitor is ready for activation when the pump is running <strong>and</strong> has reached a steady flow,pressure, <strong>and</strong> temperature. This process only takes a few minutes.Place a small magnet on the condition monitor over the ITT logo <strong>and</strong> then remove it, as this exampleshows.60 Model 3796 i-FRAME <strong>Installation</strong>, <strong>Operation</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Maintenance</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>
