A - GENERAL INFORMATION
TO THE PURCHASER:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest
pumps on the market today. These pumps are products
engineered and manufactured of high quality components.
With years of pump building experience along with a
continuing quality assurance program combine to produce
a pump which will stand up to the toughest applications.
Check local codes and requirements before installation.
Servicing should be performed by knowledgeable pump
service contractors or authorized service stations.
RECEIVING:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for
damage or shortages. If damage has occurred, file a claim
immediately with the company that delivered the pump.
If the manual is removed from the crating, do not lose or
misplace.
STORAGE:
Short Term - Pumps are manufactured for efficient
performance following long inoperative periods in storage.
For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as
factory assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant
temperatures for up to six (6) months.
Long Term - Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty four (24) months. The units
should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed
over walled enclosure that provides protection from the
elements (rain, snow, wind blown dust, etc..), and whose
temperature can be maintained between +40 deg. F and
+120 deg. F. Pump should be stored in its original shipping
container and before initial start up, rotate impeller by hand
to assure seal and impeller rotate freely.
SERVICE CENTERS:
For the location of the nearest Deming Service Center,
check your Deming representative or
Crane Pumps & Systems Service Department in Piqua,
Ohio, telephone [phone] or
Crane Pumps & Systems Canada, Inc., Bramton, Ontario,
[phone].
B - INSTALLATION
1. FOUNDATION
The Motor-Mount pumps can be installed on any
sufficiently soild foundation since pump and motor are
rigidly aligned. The unit may be installed on a concrete
foundation with anchor bolts set in place or securely
mounted on a wall in either a horizontal or vertical position
with motor above pump. The pump should be located as
near the source of supply as possible with a minimum of
suction pipe and elbows. Maximum suction lift, (lift plus
pipe friction is 15 feet based on 65°F water at sea level.
Foundation bolts, of the proper size, should be imbedded
in the concrete. A pipe sleeve, about 2½” diameters larger
than the bolt, should be used to allow for final positioning
of the bolts. See Figure 1.
Position unit on foundation and level using rectangular
metal blocks and shims, or wedges having a small taper as
shown in Figure 2.
2. PIPING
A foot valve and strainer must be installed on the lower
end of the suction pipe to keep pump completely filled with
liquid when the pump is used under suction lift conditions.
Connect suction pipe to pump, making certain that all
connections are airtight. When a foot valve and strainer
are used, it is necessary to install a check valve in the
discharge line near the pump to prevent possible casing
damage due to line shock or surge when the pump stops.
A gate valve should also be installed in the discharge line.
Connect discharge pipe to pump casing.

It is important that the suction and discharge pipes “line
up” naturally with the pump. Do Not “pull” pipes into
position with flange bolts or fittings. Both suction and
discharge pipes must be supported independently near
the pump to eliminate any strain on the pump. Piping
should be arranged with as few bends as possible, and,
preferably, with long radius elbow whenever possible. Turn
shaft to see that it rotates freely. If rotor binds, it indicates
a strain on the casing, which must be corrected before
operating pump. It may be necessary to shim motor at
foundation to assist piping connection line-up.
3. WIRING / ROTATION
Check motor name plate for electrical characteristics. Be
sure they are the same as the rating of the electric power
available. Connect power lines to motor in accordance with
the wiring diagram on the motor. Test rotation by jogging
motor. Shaft must rotate in the direction indicated by arrow
cast on pump casing.
C - OPERATION
1. STARTING THE PUMP
The following important items should be checked before
starting.
a. Pump and driver securely bolted
b. Piping complete
c. Motor properly lubricated. Follow the recommendations
found in the Maintenance Section
d. Open the seal flush valve, if used
e. Shaft turns freely
f. Rotation is correct. The pump must rotate in the
direction of the arrow on the casing.
g. Discharge valve. A high or medium head centrifugal
pump operating at full speed with the discharge valve
closed, requires much less power than when operating
at its rated head and capacity with the discharge valve
open.
For this reason, it is usually best to have the discharge
valve only partially open when starting the pump.
WARNING! - Operating the pump with a closed
or partially open discharge valve can result in
excessive heat buildup. Such operation should
be limited to the shortest pratical duration.
Operating the pump at or near shut-off head places
greater loads on the shaft and motor than operation at
the designed flow rate and head.
h. Suction valve, if used, must be fully open. Do not use
suction valve as a throttling device.
i. Pump fully primed
Only after these items have been checked should the
pump be started.
2. PRIMING
CAUTION: Before starting the pump, the casing and
suction line must be filled with liquid, and air-vented
through the vent pipe plugs. The pump must not be run
until it is completely filled with liquid, because of danger of
injuring some of the parts of the pump which depend upon
liquid for lubrication.
The discharge gate vale should be closed during priming.
Be sure the mechanical seal and power frame are supplied
with the proper lubrication.
See LUBRICATION.
PRIMING BY SUCTION PRESSURE
When operating with suction pressure (flooded suction),
remove the pipe plug at the top of the casing and when
pump is filled with liquid, replace plug.
PRIMlNG WITH FOOT VALVE AND STRAINER
Afootvalveand strainer maybe installedon thelowerend of
the suction pipe to keep pump filled with liquid. Incorporate
filler pipe in discharge pipe between pump and check valve.
Remove pipe plug at top of casing, then fill suction pipe and
pump with liquid. When pump is full of liquid, replace plug
and close filler pipe.
CAUTION: When a foot valve and strainer are installed on
the suction pipe, a spring loaded type check valve MUST be
installed next to the pump in the discharge piping to prevent
pump rupture from water hammer shock.
Priming by means of primer pump or ejector, attached to
the pump, will also remove air from suction pipe and pump
casing. When pump is filled with liquid, start motor and
slowly open discharge gate valve.
3. STARTING
Start the pump. When the pump has reached its designed
operating speed slowly open the discharge valve to obtain
the desired capacity and pressure.
With the pump running, carefully check for unusual
vibration, quite operation, mechanical seal function and
unusually high temperature.
WARNING! - NEVER try to adjust or work on
the pump while it is running. Always stop
the unit completely before attempting any
adjustment.

D. MAINTENANCE
1. LUBRICATION
BEARINGS - Motor bearings should have periodic attention
and lubrication in accord with motor manufacturer’s
recommendations. Under ordinary conditions a ball bearing
will run from 10°F to 60°F above ambient temperatures.
Unless bearing temperature runs extremely hot do not
become alarmed.
PACKING - On standard-fitted, bronze-fitted and all-bronze
construction, the stuffing box is lubricated by liquid being
pumped thru a by-pass tube. On all-iron construction, the
by-pass tube is eliminated and a grease fitting installed
for stuffing box lubrication.A “water pump” grease is
recommended for the grease cup. If the liquid being pumped
is abrasive, a fresh water supply should be connected to the
stuffing box instead of the grease fitting or by-pass tube.
SINGLE SEAL - Single seals normally are lubricated and
cooled by the liquid returned to the seal chamber thru by-
pass tube.
DOUBLE SEAL - Double seals should be cooled and
lubricated by sealing liquid under pressure, such as clear
water. If the pressure at the inner face of the seal is under
25 psi and the liquid temperature is under the boiling point,
a spring-loaded compression type grease cup, filled with
Standard Artic No. “0” grease or equal, may be used if
suitable sealing liquid is not available.
2. PROPER ADJUSTMENT of STUFFING BOX
The liquid being pumped should constantly, yet slowly, drip
from the stuffing box gland (16) when the pump is running.
This slow drip lubricates the shaft sleeve (3) and prevents
scoring. NEVER tighten the gland so as to entirely stop
the leakage through stuffing box. See Section “Repacking
Standard Stuffing Box”.
E - REPAIR
WARNING - If pumping any fluid that
could cause bodily injury (hot water,
caustic, etc.), always use eye protection
and wear protective clothing over all
exposed body areas.
REMOVE AND LOCK-OUT POWER TO THE
DRIVER WHILE PERFORMING THESE TASKS
Be sure that no one can accidentally restore power while
the pump is being serviced.
1. DISASSEMBLY OF LIQUID END - The following
procedure is for the complete disassembly of the pump.
If complete disassembly is not necessary, use only
those steps which apply.
a. Slowly remove drain plug (37). Disconnect suction
and discharge pipes.
b. Remove suction head capscrews (9), then set a
block of wood against the finished flange or back
of the suction head (32) and tap block lightly with a
hammer to loosen suction head. Remove suction
head from pump and place suction head gasket (31)
in a bucket of water to keep it soft and pliable.
c. Unscrew the impeller nut (6) by turning counter-
clockwise while holding shaft with a wrench at
slinger (7). Then slide the impeller nut gasket (13) off
the shaft. Place gasket in water.
d. To remove the impeller (40) from the shaft, make
3 special capscrews 1/2” x 13 N.C. with thread
cut 3” long. Screw these capscrews into the three
tapped holes in the impeller shroud. The capscrews
will tighten against the stuffing box head (15) thus
forcing the impeller from the shaft. Lift the key (4)
from its seat in the shaft and remove shaft sleeve
gasket (12).
e. To remove the pump casing (35), first disconnect by-
pass tube (21) from the casing then remove casing
capscrews (2), casing and stuffing box gasket (14)
will lift off the motor support (1). Place gasket in
water.
f. The stuffing box head (15) can be removed after
removing gland (17) bolts and nuts (18) and tubing
(21). Stuffing box packing (20), lantern ring (19) and
gland can now be removed.
g. Shaft sleeve (3) and slinger (7) may be removed
from the shaft. If necessary to remove the motor
support (1) remove the motor capscrews (8) and lift
motor support from motor.
h. When necessary to replace wearing rings (36) &
(33), the casing wearing ring (36) can be pressed
from the casing, however it will be necessary to
either machine or cut the suction head wearing ring
(33) from its seat in the suction head.
i. Clean and carefully inspect all parts for wear or
damage. Replace any part which is excessively worn
or damaged.

casing until it is flush with inside edge of casing.
d. Reposition motor support (1) on motor and replace
capscrews (8). Slide slinger (7) onto shaft, followed
by shaft sleeve until sleeve is tight against shaft
shoulder. Align shaft and sleeve keyways. Place key
(4) in keyway and position shaft sleeve gasket (12)
against end of sleeve.
c. Place stuffing box gland (16) and lantern ring (19)
over the shaft sleeve (3). Place stuffing box head
(15) over shaft in manner shown with slots for gland
bolts and nuts (8) on horizontal centerline when
holes in the flange of the stuffing box head are in
line with those of the motor support (1).
d. Insert casing capscrews (2) through holes in motor
support and stuffing box head and position stuffing
box head gasket (14) on stuffing box head. Position
casing (35) with discharge in desired position, and
tighten capscrews securely. Reconnect by-pass tube
(21).
e. Place impeller (40) over the end of the shaft with
keyway over the key (4). Tap impeller into position
on the shaft with either a babbit or rawhide hammer.
Replace impeller nut gasket (13) and impeller nut (6)
on shaft stud (5). Tighten nut securely.
f. Position suction head gasket (31) on suction head
(32). Mount suction head on casing and tighten
capscrews (9) securely. Replace drain plug (37).
g. See section “Repacking Standard Stuffing Box”
beginning with item b.
3. REPACKING STANDARD STUFFING BOX
a. Remove stuffing box bolts (17) and nuts (18) also
gland bolts and nuts and remove gland from shaft.
With a packing puller, remove the old packing (20)
and lantern ring (19) from the stuffing box.
b. Cut five rings of packing (20) so that when wrapped
around the shaft, the ends do not quite touch, a
bevelled cut is recommended.
c. Tamp first ring into stuffing box (15) then turn shaft
over by hand.
d. Stagger the next packing ring joint so that the joints
will be 180° apart. Seat ring evenly and tamp into
place. Turn shaft again by hand.
e. Place lantern ring (19) in next.
f. Position and seat the next three rings of packing
separately, staggering the joints 180° apart. Tamp
into place.
g. Replace split gland (16) fastening the two halves
together with gland bolts and nuts. Replace and
tighten stuffing box bolts and nuts (18), then loosen
nuts until shaft can be turned freely by hand. See
section “Proper Adjustment Of Stuffing Box” for
proper adjustment.
4. REPLACE SINGLE MECHANICAL SEAL - Seals are
available as a complete assembly only.
a. The single seal as shown is used for handling
clear liquids at temperatures below their boiling
point. A portion of this liquid is by-passed into
the seal chambers through the by-pass tube to
serve as a lubricant and as a coolant. The
by-pass from the pump discharge must be
a minimum of 20 pounds pressure above the
suction pressure of the pump to insure proper
operation of the seal.
b. Special precautions must be observed when
handling a mechanical seal. DO NOT drop the
seal face carbons, or floating seats, nor scratch
the lapped faces of these pieces.
c. To remove the seal assembly, dismantle the liquid
end of the pump as described in Section E. After
removing the casing, the seal head assembly
may be removed from the motor support. Press
the seal assembly (42) from the seal head (41).
d. To install new seal assembly, oil the outer surfaces
of the seal seat and press assembly into the seal
head cavity. DO NOT SCRATCH FACE OF
FLOATING SEAT. If it is not possible to insert seat
with the fingers, place cardboard protecting ring
furnished with seal over face of seat and press
into bore with piece of tubing having end cut
square. Tubing should be only slightly larger than
diameter of shaft. Remove cardboard ring after
seat is firmly seated.
e. Apply a thin coating of clean light oil to the shaft
sleeve (3) and reposition seal head (41) on the
motor support. Also apply a thin coating of light oil
to the inside of the seal bellows and the seal
face carbon then slide the sealing washer and
bellows assembly onto the shaft sleeve (3).
f. Insert casing capscrews (2) through holes in
motor support (1) and seal head (41) and
complete assembly of liquid end as described in
section “Reassembly of Liquid End”.

5. REPLACE DOUBLE MECHANICAL SEAL - Seals are
available as a complete assembly only.
a. The double mechanical seal as shown is used
when pumping abrasives or nonlubricating liquids
or with liquids at excessive temperatures.
A sealing liquid at 15 to 20 pounds above suction
must be circulated through the seal chamber.
Clear water under pressure can be used in most
applications as a sealing liquid for lubrication and
cooling. If the pressure at the inner seal face is
under 25 pounds and the temperature is under
boiling point of the liquid being pumped, the seal
chamber can be filled with grease. See
“Lubrication”, a spring loaded compression type
grease cup should be installed to maintain
pressure in the seal chamber.
b. Special precautions must be observed when
handling a mechanical seal. DO NOT drop the
seal face carbons or floating seats nor scratch
the lapped faces for these pieces.
c. To remove the seal assembly, dismantle the
liquid end of the pump as described in
“Disassembly of Liquid End”, then unscrew gland
bolts and nuts. Remove seal head casting (41)
from the motor support, exposing the seal
assembly. Grasp the seal firmly by hand and
twist it on the shaft to break the seal between
the bellows and the shaft. The seal can now be
pulled from the sleeve. Also remove the seal
gland (44) from the shaft. Place gland gasket in
water. Press seal seats from the seal gland (44)
and seal head (41).

d. To install new seal assembly, oil the face and
outer surfaces of the seal seat. Press seats
into the seal gland and seal head (41) cavity. DO
NOT SCRATCH FACE OF FLOATING SEATS.
e. Apply a thin coating of light oil (not grease) to the
shaft sleeve and inside of bellows. Slide the seal
gland assembly onto the shaft sleeve (3)
followed by the gland gasket. Carefully wipe
the face of the seal face carbon with light oil and
slide it onto shaft sleeve, followed by the retainer
and bellows assembly. Assemble as shown in
Figure 4. Next place the spring over the first
section of seal then slide the second bellows
retainer and seal face carbon onto the shaft
sleeve. Carefully wipe the face of seal face
carbon with light oil.
f. Place the seal head (41) over the shaft with slots
for bolts and nuts on the horizontal centerline
when the holes in the flange of the seal
head are in line with those of the support head.
Insert casing capscrews through holes in support
head, and position gasket on seal head. Replace
seal gland and bolts. Complete assembly of
liquid end as described in “Reassembly of Liquid
End”.
