5. Dispensing units equipped with an optional light assembly, should have the light assembly
tested to verify proper operation of the fluorescent light. The light control circuit may be wired
from the pump breaker (reset motor feed) or from its own separate breaker. In either case,
turn on the proper breaker and verify that the fluorescent light will light.
6.
Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 for Side 2 (if applicable).
7.
The dispensing unit should go through all standard calibration procedures. (See page 6-3).
POST START-UP TESTS
Voltage
The incoming voltage to the pump and remote dispenser should be checked and any reading not
within 10% of rated voltage should be corrected before testing is continued. When dealing with
suction pumps it is good practice to take voltage readings while the suction pump is operating on
bypass and also while making a delivery. Any voltage drop in excess of 10% during either of
these operating states should be considered a low voltage condition. Corrective action should be
taken to insure an adequate power supply to the pump.
Tightness
After determining that the pump is operating satisfactorily and the system is fully primed, check the
pump and piping to make sure that all connections are tight. In the case of a remote dispenser
you should follow the submersible pump manufacturer’s instructions to check the system for
tightness. We recommend that the tank and all piping not be covered until this test has been
completed.
Belts (Suction Pumps Only)
Since belts do stretch slightly during the first few minutes of operation, check the belt tension after
completing the operational test.
The belt can be tightened by loosening the hex nut which holds the idler pulley and sliding the
pulley to either side. Tighten belt sufficiently to reduce slippage, but avoid over-tightening,
