Installation

IMPORTANT WARNING: All electrical connections should be made by a licensed professional in accordance with state and local codes.

INSTALLATION

• Check for proper voltage before connecting any power to the machine.
• The voltage and amperage of the power supply depend on the specifications provided by the customer.
• Information should be written in on page 2 of this manual. For help finding this information call Goodnature customer service. 716-855-3325.
• After unpacking and before running, it is important to check that no fasteners became loose during shipping.
• Check all nuts, bolts, and screws to make sure everything is tight.
• Be certain that pump is sitting level after installation. Adjustable legs are provided to accomplish this.
• Foot switch should in a position that allows for ease of use.

Operation

START UP

• Check to make sure power is disconnected and the machine is off before setup.
• SAFETY GLASSES must be worn at all times during operation.
• Before operating the pump for the first time, fill it with liquid.
• CAUTION: DRY OPERATION IS HARMFUL TO THE PUMP. THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR STATOR. THE STATOR IS LUBRICATED BY THE LIQUID WHICH IS BEING PUMPED THROUGH THE SYSTEM.
• If the liquid being pumped is highly viscous, dilute it before filling the pump. The liquid fill-up will lubricate the stator on initial start-up.
• If the pump is shut down temporarily, enough liquid will remain in the system to provide lubrication upon restarting. It is advisable to maintain the suction piping at a higher elevation than the centerline of the pump . This will contain some liquid in the pump at the time of shutdown.
• After the pump has been filled with liquid, check the direction of the pump rotation by momentarily starting and stopping the drive. See nameplate for correct rotation.

Cleaning

MACHINE CLEANING

• Power Off and Disconnect all power before cleaning.
• SAFETY GLASSES must be worn at all times during operation.
• Beware of all pinch-points and moving parts.
  1. The first step to cleaning is to flush all solids out of the hopper and pump.
  2. Direct pump discharge back into the hopper to allow circulation.
  3. After all easily-removable debris has been cleaned off, we recommend using a cleanser that will help break down and remaining particles. “Master Kleen” can be purchased through our customer service, or any similar products can be used. For information on the chemical makeup of “Master Kleen” please contact Goodnature Products customer service (716)-855- 3325.
  4. Mix up the cleanser solution as described in the instructions enclosed with the cleanser using hot water.
  5. Turn pump “on” to allow solution to circulate for approximately 10 minutes.
  6. Flush cleaning solution with clean water.
  7. All removed parts can be washed and sanitized by hand in a sink or soaked if desired.
