Follow manufacturer's written instructions for pump mounting and startup. Access/Service space around pumps shall not be less than minimum space recommended by pumps manufacturer. Provide drains for bases and seals for base mounted pumps, piped to and discharging into floor drains. STARTUP AND TESTING Perform tests as recommended by product manufacturer and listed standards and under actual or simulated operating conditions and prove full compliance with design and specified requirements. Tests of the various items of equipment shall be performed simultaneously with the system of which each item is an integral part. When any defects are detected, correct defects and repeat test at no additional cost or time to the Government. Verify that the piping system has been flushed, cleaned and filled. Lubricate pumps before startup. Prime the pump, vent all air from the casing and verify that the rotation is correct. To avoid damage to mechanical seals, never start or run the pump in dry condition. Field modifications to the bearings and or impeller (including trimming) are prohibited. If the pump does not meet the specified vibration tolerance, send the pump back to the manufacturer for a replacement pump. All modifications to the pump shall be performed at the factory. Ensure the existing strainer is free of debris prior to testing and balancing of the hydronic system. After several days of operation, clean the existing strainer with a. - - - E N D - - - 11-01-22 26 29 11 - 10 SECTION 26 29 11 MOTOR CONTROLLERS PART 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION This section specifies the furnishing, installation, connection, and testing of motor controllers, including all low- and medium-voltage motor controllers and manual motor controllers, indicated as motor controllers in this section, and low-voltage variable speed motor controllers.
