Code for shaft seal * In August 2003 the NEMA pump code was discontinued for all material numbers created by GRUNDFOS manufacturing companies in North America. The NEMA version pump code will still remain in effect for existing material numbers. NEMA version pumps built in North America after this change will have either an A or U as the pump version code depending on the date the material number was created.

362 / 25 362 / 25** * while pump is off or during start-up Consult Grundfos for other working conditions. ** during operation Select pump location The pump should be located in a dry, well-ventilated area which is not subject to freezing or extreme variation in temperature. Care must be taken to ensure the pump is mounted at least 6 inches (150 mm) clear of any obstruction or hot surfaces.
If there is excessive sediment or suspended particles present, it is advised a strainer or filter be used. Grundfos recommends that pressure gauges be installed on inlet and discharge flanges or in pipes to check pump and system performance.
Motor Grundfos CR pumps are supplied with heavy-duty 2-pole (3600 RPM nominal), ODP or TEFC, NEMA C frame motors selected to our rigid specifications. Motors with other enclosure types and for other voltages and frequencies are available on a special-order basis. CRN-SF pumps are supplied with an IEC (metric) type motor with a reverse thrust bearing.

Motor Inspection Inspect the motor at regular intervals, approximately every 500 hours of operation or every three months, whichever occurs first. Keep the motor clean and the ventilation openings clear. The following steps should be performed at each inspection: WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS BEFORE YOU FIRST ENSURE THAT POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED.
Preventative Maintenance At regular intervals depending on the conditions and time of operation, the following checks should be made: Pump meets required performance and is operating smoothly and quietly. There are no leaks, particularly at the shaft seal. The motor is not overheating. Remove and clean all strainers or filters in the system.
CR(N) 32, 45, 64, 90 Parts List For each CR pump model Grundfos offers an extensive Parts List and diagram of part used in that pump and is recommended to have on hand for future maintenance. In addition, the listings also provide information about prepackaged Service Kits for those pump components most likely to exhibit wear over time, as well as the complete Impeller Stack needed to replace the "guts"...
WARNING: WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS, USE CAUTION TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT RUBBER GLOVES AND BOOTS BE WORN, AND METAL TERMINAL BOXES AND MOTORS ARE GROUNDED BEFORE ANY WORK IS DONE. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM ITS POWER BEFORE HANDLING. Preliminary tests What it means Supply...
Diagnosing specific problems Problem Possible cause Remedy The pump does not run No power at motor. Check for voltage at motor teminal box. If no voltage at motor, check feeder panel for tripped circuits and reset circuit. Fuses are blown or circuit Turn off power and remove fuses.
