Rea the instruction manual completely, before installing, filling, operating, or maintaining this equipment.
Obtain, rea , an hee the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the flui s being han le before attempting to
fill, operate or maintain this equipment.
Obtain instructions from the Safety Engineer responsible for your facility before performing any work on the pump-
ing equipment an systems.
APPLICATION AND REAPPLICATION - At the time of installation, the equipment receive shoul have alrea y been
selecte for the service require . You must rea the paperwork for the installation an check serial number of the
pump to assure that you are installing the correct pump into the service for which it was selecte .
Many pumps look i entical from the outsi e but can be ma e of ifferent materials an /or be constructe ifferently
insi e. Personal injury, eath, equipment amage, pro uct (pumpage) amage, an /or pro uct loss coul occur if the
incorrect pump is installe .
Do not transfer an existing pump to any other service con itions until you have thoroughly reviewe the pump
construction, materials, sizing, sealing, pressure containing capability, hea /capacity capability, an
temperature capability with respect to the require service. Consult your DEAN PUMP sales engineer with all the
service requirements an a full escription of the existing pump (inclu ing the serial number), seal, an sub-systems
so that we can assist you in a successful reapplication.
INSTALLATION - Always wear the appropriate protective apparel when working on or aroun the pumping equipment.
Safety glasses with si e shiel s, heavy work gloves (use insulate work gloves when han ling hot items), steel toe
shoes, har hat, an any other protective gear as nee e for protection. One example of other gear woul be
breathing apparatus when working near toxic materials.
Use lifting evices, manufacture expressly for the purpose of lifting, to move the pumping machinery. Do not attempt
to lift the assembly or its components manually. Use only evices with lifting capabilities in excess of the weight of
the unit being lifte . Inspect straps,chains, hooks, etc. for amage an lifting capability before use. Lift only at the
center of gravity.
Personal injury, eath, an /or equipment amage coul occur if goo lifting practices are not use .
Install the equipment on a properly esigne an built foun ation. Assure that the river (motor, turbine,or engine)
shaft is properly aligne to the pump shaft.
Connect the suction an ischarge piping without forcing the piping into position. The pipe flanges must line up
with the pump flanges “freely”. Strain cause by “forcing” an /or misalignment may cause failure of the pumping
unit, flanges, an /or the piping resulting in flui (pumpage) release. This coul cause personal injury, eath an /or
amage to this an /or other equipment.
Install a “new” bolt, of the correct size per ASME/ANSI B16.5 an the correct material per ASME/ANSI B16.5,
in every bolt hole. Tighten all bolts evenly. Use only new uncorro e fasteners.
Improper flange bolting may cause failure of the pumping unit, flanges, piping, an /or flui (pumpage) release
which coul cause personal injury, eath, an /or amage to this an /or other equipment.
Connect all other (auxiliary) piping necessary for safe an successful operation of the equipment in the specific ser-
vice con itions of the application. Make sure that all piping is installe into it’s correct connection. Installation of a
pipe into an incorrect location coul result in an explosion an personal injury or eath as well as amage to this
an /or other equipment.
Install pressure relief valves in any cavities that coul be subjecte to pressures in excess of the allowable working
pressure of that cavity. Explosion, personal injury, eath, an /or amage to this an /or other equipment may occur
if pressure excee s allowable.
Recheck the alignment between the river (motor, turbine, or engine) an pump shafts. Installation of piping may have
force the pump out of alignment. If so, correct the piping to remove the istorting loa .
Check to be certain that the shaft coupling spacer is not installe , an then gently bump the motor starter to check
the rotational irection of the motor. If this is not in the irection of rotation require for the pump, make the neces-
sary corrections.
Lock-out the power to the river (motor, turbine, engine, etc.)
Install the shaft coupling spacer. Be sure that you install all the retaining evices an bolts an that they are tight.
Rea an comply with the coupling manufacturer’s instructions. Personal injury, eath, an /or equipment amage
coul occur if the coupling spacer is not properly installe . Remove all ebris an tools from the area near the shafts
an the shaft coupling. Do this to assure that nothing is caught an thrown by the rotating parts when the pump is
starte . Bolt the coupling guar securely to the baseplate, checking to assure that it is not contacting any parts that
will rotate when the pump is starte .
FILLING - Before filling the pump with liqui , check to see that all possible leak locations are seale . See that all of
the connections into the pressure containing cavity are seale or connecte to a relate piping system that also has
all possible leak paths seale . Do not plug unuse jacket cavities, as this coul evelop angerous pressure buil -
up. Use a wrench on all bolte joints to apply torque to assure that all gaskets are seale in a tight joint. Check to
see that all threa e pipe connections are also tight enough to seal the liqui pressure that will be applie when
the system is starte .
OPERATING - Before starting the unit, see that all personnel are a safe istance away from all possible hazar s,
that all sub-systems are connecte an operating, that all ebris has been remove , that the shaft coupling guar
is securely in place, an that the pump is full of liqui .
Do not operate this pump at shut-off (no flow) as an explosion may result. This can occur with any liqui , even “col
water”. Personal injury, eath, equipment amage, an /or loss of pro uct (pumpage) is likely to occur. If your sys-
tem is operate where it is possible for all outlets for the ischarge from the pump to be close while the pump is
still operating, a mo ification of the system nee s to be ma e to assure a continual flow of pumpage through the
pump. Note that some people have a belief that a bypass line from the ischarge si e of the pump to the suction
si e of the pump will relieve this problem, this is “NOT TRUE”; DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS.
MAINTENANCE, DISASSEMBLY AND REPAIR - Work must be performe only by thoroughly traine an qualifie
personnel to assure quality repair an to re uce the possibilities of injury to personnel an /or amage to equip-
ment. If you o not have personnel who are capable of safe quality repair of this equipment, we a vise you to return
the equipment to DEAN PUMP to be repaire .
When it is necessary to open the pump an /or the pumping system, the flui will be expose to the atmosphere
an personnel in the area. For the safety of all involve , the risk of exposure of personnel to the hazar s of the
pumpage can be re uce by flushing the entire system with a compatible non-toxic, non-hazar ous,stable liqui
before opening the pump or the system. In all cases, where the system is flushe or not, use the utmost care aroun
the pumpage an the pumping system.
Always wear the appropriate protective apparel when working on or aroun the pumping equipment. Safety glass-
es with si e shiel s, heavy work gloves (use insulate work gloves when han ling hot items), steel-toe shoes, har
hat, an any other protective gear as nee e for protection. One example of other gear woul be breathing
apparatus when working near toxic materials.
Use only top quality tools.
Stop the pump. Turn off the power supply (electricity, steam, etc.) to the pump river (motor, turbine, engine, etc.)
an lock the switching evice so that it cannot be restarte . Tag the switching evice so that no one will attempt to
restart the unit.
Close the suction an ischarge valves completely to isolate the pump from the system. Lock the valves in the close
position an tag them so that no one will attempt to open them.
Turn off, lock out, an tag all sub-systems an auxiliary equipment an auxiliary supply lines to isolate the pump-
ing unit from any an all power, energy, an /or flui s.
Do not attempt to perform any work on the unit until you are confi ent that the pump an its contents have been
stabilize at ambient temperature, an atmospheric pressure.
Put on protective wear to protect human tissue from attack by the flui s containe in the pump an any sub-systems,
an from any vapors or fumes that coul possibly be release from these flui s. This coul mean breathing apparatus,
face shiel s, heavy long sleeve rubber gloves, rubber apron, hoo , an possibly more, epen ent of course on the
properties of the flui s involve an the installe rain an vent piping arrangement. Personal injury an /or eath
can occur if a equate precautions are not taken with regar to the flui , the installation, an the possibilities of the
release of flui , vapors, an /or fumes.
Remove the coupling guar . Remove the coupling spacer.
Drain all the flui s from the auxiliary sub-systems (lubrication, cooling, heating, seal barrier, etc.) that are connect-
e to the pump. Drain each flui into a separate container. Use caution require for each flui after rea ing the
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for each.
Flush each sub-system with a compatible, non-toxic, non-hazar ous, stable liqui . Drain into in ivi ual containers
for each flui . Disconnect an remove all auxiliary piping.
Carefully blee off any pressure remaining in the pump. Pressure remaining in the pump will be epen ent upon
the pressure in the system when the pump was stoppe ; the quality, type, an con ition of the isolation valves; the
thermal expansion valves of the flui an the pump material; an the change in the vapor pressure of the flui
between the temperature at the time the isolation valves were close an the ambient temperature. Blee ing must
be through a valve rain line pipe to a close container mounte lower than the pump. The container must be
arrange with a relief passage to some point where pressure an fumes will not be harmful to personnel. The
container must also have a level evice so that etermination can be ma e that sufficient flui has been raine to
empty the pump cavity an the volume of flui that was containe in the run of suction an ischarge pipe between
the isolation valves an the pump. After the initial rush of flui from the pump relieves the pressure, the rain valve
can be opene further to spee the raining operation. When flui quits running into the rain tank, gauge the
volume to see if it is sufficient to have fully raine the contents of the pump an the suction an ischarge pipes
between the isolation valves.
If the system was constructe without any rain connections, it will be necessary to consult the esigners of the system
for safe raining proce ures.
Now rain any small piping, that contains the flui pumpe , from all low points, into the same container use to rain
the pump. Do not rain any other flui s ( ifferent than the pumpage) into this container as they may not be
compatible. Personal injury, eath, an /or equipment amage coul occur.
Even though it might appear that, the cavity being raine has completely raine , be extremely careful about
opening the system an /or opening the pump. If something soli in the pumpage moves to the vicinity of the rain
connection, it coul seal-off the rain an maintain pressure in the cavity thought to have been raine . It is also
possible that the isolation valves are not sealing an therefore allowing liqui to flow from the system into the pump.
Personal injury, eath, an /or equipment amage may occur if intense caution is not exercise .
Because of the above possibility, when you loosen the gaskete joint at the back of the casing (5), loosen the bolts or
nuts only one full turn, an then use jack screws to break the gasket seal. If flui an /or pressure remains in the pump,
it will spray out now. Use extreme caution, wearing protective gear, to avoi injury. Do not procee with isas-
sembly until leakage ceases completely. If leakage oes not cease, the isolation valves may not be sealing. Note
that if the pump was purchase with out a rain, the pump will contain flui which will flow out at the time the bolts
are loosene an the gasket seal is broken.
When you open the pump, the flui will be expose to the atmosphere an personnel in the area. For the safety of
all involve , the risk of exposure can be re uce by flushing the cavity that was just raine , with a compatible non-
toxic, non-hazar ous, stable liqui , before isassembling the pump.
Remove the casing bolts or nuts an using mechanical lifting apparatus to support the weight, pull the rotating unit
from the casing.
Flush the wette parts now expose with compatible, non-toxic, non-hazar ous, stable liqui .
Remove the gasket from the face of the casing (5) or the bearing housing (26) epen ent on which one the gasket may
have a here to. The type of gasket an material of construction will vary with service requirements. Attack by prying
an then, if necessary, layering off the ol gasket with a sharp scraper, attempting to remove it in the largest possible
pieces. Wear heavy leather, long sleeve work gloves when using the scraper. Wet the gasket before an uring the
scraping operation to re uce the possibility of fibers becoming airborne. Wear a respirator uring this operation an
until all ebris has been ispose of in a plastic bag. Remove all of the gasket material own to clean metal surfaces
on both parts that contacte the gasket. Place all of the gasket resi ue in a plastic bag, seal the bag an ispose of it
in compliance with all government requirements.
The rotating assembly of the pump can now be move to a more convenient location for further isassembly. Use
only high quality tools. Flush parts as isassemble to remove hazar ous resi ue from the pumpage an /or
sub-system flui s.
Wear protective equipment as a vise at the beginning of these warnings.
Use mechanical lifting equipment to lift assemblies an components.
Do not apply heat to parts to assist in isassembly. Explosion coul occur causing personal injury, eath, an /or
amage to equipment.
Do not attempt to rill, saw, or otherwise cut parts to remove them. Explosion an /or fuming coul occur causing
personal injury, eath, an /or equipment amage.
Do not hammer on any parts. Personal injury an /or amage to equipment may occur.
Do not attempt to manufacture parts or mo ify Dean Pump parts in any manner. Death, personal injury, an /or
amage to equipment may occur.
One example of the above woul be overboring the seal chamber, which removes metal that is require to contain
flui s. Removal of this metal re uces the pressure containing capability of the part, an may create a leak path
through the part.
Replace all gaskets, seals, bearings, an lubricants. Replace all parts that have worn, corro e , ero e , or other-
wise eteriorate .
Use only Dean Pump Met-Pro Corporation parts.
HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS MAY OCCUR UNLESS THIS EQUIPMENT IS APPLIED, INSTALLED, OPERATED, AND MAINTAINED BY THOROUGHLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
