6Operation and Maintenance ManualQTS Series Twin Screw Positive Displacement PumpQTS-M04Electrical Connections• A qualified and trained electrician should make the electrical connection to the motor.• Use safety equipment necessary to manipulate electricity.• Use appropriate signs in areas where electrical equipment is exposed.• The pump must be de-energized and secured to prevent startup before starting any work ofelectrical equipment.• Use the right wire number according to the motor voltage and amperage.• Follow diagram connections shown on the motor nameplate; check the motor installationmanual for any questions.• Isolate and protect the terminal ports and connections.• Make sure the rotation of the pump is correct.• The motor of your pump has been tested and was selected to meet the requirements of aspecific application. The motor amperage consumption should be within the range indicatedon the motor nameplate for a proper operation.• The user is responsible for the safety and proper operation of equipment when special andothers motors are used (not supplied by Q-Pumps).TemperatureThe QTS Series are designed to work in a normal temperature range between -40 °C (-40 °F)and 100 °C (212 ° F). Be careful when touching the body and gear case to avoid burns when thetemperature rises. If the application requires a higher temperature range please contact Q-Pumpsto be advised about this case.Moving PartsThe principal operation of the QTS Series is by the turning of a pair of synchronized rotors whichcan trap any foreign object and get stuck due to an invalid equipment operation. Never operatethe pump without the front cover properly in place.The gearbox contains rotating parts; never operate the pump without the cover of the gear case.Watch precautions with free turning shafts of drive elements when not properly coupled to thepump. Likewise, do not operate the pump without the coupling guard placed in position.Lifting the PumpCarefully transport the equipment avoiding contact, drops or damage. To prevent this situation theQTS Series are provided with an eye bolt located on the gear case for lifting.The same way, gear motors and motors have an eye bolt (or at least one hole for using this part)located in the body.SAFETY
