SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
This publication is intended to assist those
involved with the installation, operation and
maintenance of Ebsray Model V6000 Rotary
Sliding Vane Pump.
1.1 CAUTION
INSTALLATION AND SERVICING OF THIS
EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY
QUALIFIED COMPETENT PERSONNEL IN
ACCORDANCE WITH RELEVANT STATUTORY
REGULATIONS OR CODES, IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When the equipment supplied utilises
components other than those manufactured by
EBSRAY e.g. couplings, speed reducers, electric
motors etc, reference should be made to the
original manufacturer's data before installation or
servicing is commenced. Failure to observe these
details may void the warranty.
1.2 WARNING
The pump must be operated within the original
selected design parameters of product, viscosity,
temperature, speed and pressure. Should any
change be contemplated, please confer with
EBSRAY in order to verify the suitability of such a
change.
1.3 TRANSPORTATION AND PACKING
Standard domestic packing is suitable for
shipment in covered transports. Ports must be
sealed to exclude ingress of solids. When
received on site the pump should be stored in a
dry covered area. If storage is required for other
than a short period prior to installation, special
preservatives and protective wrappings will be
required.
1.4 INSPECTION ON RECEIPT
On receipt of equipment, check all items against
the dispatch documents and inspect for damage.
Any damage or shortage incurred during transit
should be noted on the packing note and on both
your own and the carrier's copy of the
consignment note and a claim should be made
immediately on the transport company. Should a
shortage be evident on receipt, notify EBSRAY
immediately giving full details and packing note
number.
1.5 HANDLING
Care must be taken when moving pumps. A sling
should be placed under or around a bare shaft
pump to minimise stress on the shaft or pump
flanges. Baseplate mounted units should be lifted
from under the baseplate below both the pump
and driver ensuring compliance with the relevant
lifting codes.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 LOCATION
The pumping unit should be placed as close as
practicable to the source of supply remembering
to keep within the NPSH requirement of the
pump. Ensure floor area and headroom allotted
are sufficient for inspection and maintenance.
Allow sufficient space and ventilation for motor
cooling requirements. Be sure to allow for crane
or hoist access if required.
2.2 FOUNDATIONS
Baseplate units should be accurately installed.
When on a concrete foundation, ensure that it has
been poured on a solid footing. NOTE: Position
foundation bolts to match baseplate foundation
plan.
2.3 PUMP PIPING CONNECTIONS
All piping should be supported independently of
and line up accurately with the pump ports.
NEVER DRAW PIPING INTO PLACE BY USE
OF FORCE AT THE PORT CONNECTIONS OF
THE PUMP.
2.4 STRAINER PROTECTION
The pump suction should always be protected by
an efficient suction strainer of adequate size to
accommodate the liquid viscosity conditions
without causing excessive suction resistance.

2.5 ALIGNMENT
Alignment of the pump and driver is of extreme
importance for trouble free mechanical operation.
Baseplate mounted units are accurately aligned
at the factory. To ensure this has been
maintained during transit, alignment MUST BE
checked once before startup and again after the
unit has been run under actual operating
conditions. NOTE: The following procedures are
typical only and reference should be made to data
for specific coupling types.
3
ANGULAR MISALIGNMENT as shown in Fig.1
should be corrected before eccentricity. Refer
Fig.3; use feeler gauge reading at 90°intervals,
the amount of correction necessary can be easily
determined to bring shaft axes in line.
Misalignment due to ECCENTRICITY as shown
in Fig.2 can now be corrected. Refer Fig.4;
adjustment by use of shims under the driver or
pump will effectively correct error in the vertical
plane. Movement of one of the ends horizontally
will correct error in the horizontal plane. NOTE: If
both coupling halves are of identical diameter,
concentricity may be checked with a straight edge
at 90°intervals.

SECTION 3 - OPERATION
3.1 DESCRIPTION
The EBSRAY Model V6000 is a positive
displacement Sliding Vane Pump, primarily
intended for the transfer of low to medium
viscosity liquids. The Rotor/Shaft assembly
rotates within a cam-form Liner and between two
replaceable wearplates. Two mechanical seals,
located outside the wearplates, isolate the
Bearings from the pumpage. These grease
packed or oil lubricated spherical roller bearings
provide positive axial positioning of the pump
rotor. The pump may be protected from
overpressure by an optional adjustable bypass or
pressure relief valve. The pump has a 180°
porting configuration with optional 90°porting
(Top Discharge).
3.2 LUBRICATION
Grease packed bearings require periodic
lubrication via grease nipples fitted to the bearing
housings. Use only a small quantity of high quality
lithium based grease. Replacement of grease is
recommended every 5000 hours of operation.
Oil lubricated bearings must have the oil level
maintained at 60mm below the centreline of the
shaft. An automatic oiler system is recommended
for oil level maintenance. Replace oil every 12
months using a high quality compressor oil ISO
VG 46 - ISO VG 68.
3.3 START-UP CHECKLIST
WARNING: DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY.
– Lubricate as required.
– Check alignment of couplings.
– Ensure freedom of rotation of shaft.
– Check direction of rotation.
WARNING: To prevent damage to pumpset
or system, disengage coupling before
checking direction of rotation.
– Do not start pump against closed discharge
valve or with inlet valve throttled.
3.4 OPERATIONAL CHECKS
Inspect pump frequently during the first few hours
of operation for such conditions as excessive
heating of bearings, vibration or unusual noises
etc.

SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE
PRIOR TO ANY DISASSEMBLY OR SERVICE
VERIFY THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS OF
STATUTORY REGULATIONS OR CODES ARE
MET AND THAT SPECIFIC SITE
REQUIREMENTS ETC. ARE SATISFIED.
Some inspections and maintenance tasks can be
performed with the pump 'in line' if complete
isolation, depressurising and purging procedures
have been completed. However for major
maintenance, it is recommended that the pump
be removed from the installation.
The following instructions regarding disassembly
and reassembly are relative to major
maintenance.
4.1 SPARE PARTS
When ordering spare parts, to ensure a minimum
delay and correct replacement to original
specification, always quote the pump serial
number which is located on the nameplate of the
pump.
Advise the name, cat # and quantity required.
Refer Drawing CMP082
Advise complete delivery instructions, transport
detail
4.2 PREPARATION FOR DISASSEMBLY
1. Obtain the appropriate work permit if
required.
2. Isolate the pump from liquids in suction and
discharge lines, depressurise and purge out
any toxic, flammable, corrosive or air-
hardening liquids.
3. Isolate power supply to motor.
4. Note driveshaft and porting orientation to
ensure correct reassembly.
5. Disconnect porting connections.
6. Remove pump from installation.
4.3 DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove lubrication harnesses and drain oil
from bearing housings (if oil lubricated).
2. Remove any plugs, vents etc. which may
hinder access to Bearing Housing nuts.
3. Remove Dustcaps from both ends of pump.
4. Unlock Lockwashers and Using a suitable
'C'
spanner, remove Shaft Locknuts (both

5. Loosen Sleeve Locknuts enough to just
clear the end of the sleeve. With a suitable
drift and hammer, sharply tap the faces of
the Sleeve Locknuts to release the Sleeves
from the Bearings.
6. Remove Bearing Housing Setscrews.
CAUTION
Place a support under Bearing Housings
which will allow Bearing Housings to be
removed from Pump without dropping as it
comes clear of the shaft where the locknut
thread begins. If the Bearing Housing does
not remain centred during removal the
Stationary Seal Face is likely to be chipped by
the thread on the shaft. Lubricate shaft before
removing Bearing Housing.
7. Screw two of the Bearing Housing
Setscrews (M20) into the extraction holes in
each Bearing Housing, tighten evenly to
remove bearing housing assembly. (It may
be necessary to tap the faces of the Sleeve
Locknuts again to fully release the Sleeves
from the Bearings)
8. Remove Sleeve Locknuts and remove
Sleeves from Bearings. If required, remove
Bearings from Bearing Housings.
9. Loosen the 6 grubscrews from each
Mechanical Seal Assembly. Carefully
remove Mechanical Seal Assemblies from
shaft.
10. Remove Cover setscrews, remove Cover
from inspection end.
11. Place a 37mm diameter x 120 mm long bar
inside Liner (this is to support Rotor during
removal - see Figure 5)
12. Partially withdraw Rotor/Shaft Assembly
from inspection end far enough to allow
string or tape to be wrapped around the rotor
to retain the vanes and pushrods in position.
13. Remove Rotor/Shaft Assembly.
14. Release grubscrews and remove Seal
Spacers from Shaft.

15. Remove Vanes and Pushrods from Rotor
(note orientation for correct reassembly)
16. Remove Cover setscrews, remove Cover
from drive end.
17. Remove Liner
18. If required, remove Wearplates from covers.
4.4 INSPECTION
1. Inspect Rotor/Shaft assembly and Liner. If
damage or excessive wear is evident, it is
recommended to replace both components.
2. Note: The Rotor is permanently attached to
the Shaft.
3. Inspect Vanes for wear or damage - Refer
Table
4. Inspect Pushrods for wear, damage and
straightness. Replace as required
5. Inspect both Mechanical Seals. Replace
worn or damaged components.
6. Inspect both Wearplates for damage or
excessive wear. Replace or reverse as
required.
NOTE: If Wearplates are to be reversed, they
will have to be swapped to opposite ends also
to keep relief grooves on discharge side.
7. It is recommended that all O-rings and Oil
Seals be replaced at every overhaul.
8. Inspect roller Bearings for wear. It is
recommended on major overhauls that roller
bearings be replaced.

6.4 PUMP IS NOISY
1. Air leakage in suction piping.
2. Cavitation due to insufficient NPSH available
i.e. suction conditions extreme - reduce
suction losses.
3. Pump running dry - remove blockages in
suction line/strainer.
4. Pump and driver misaligned - check coupling
and realign as required.
5. Rotating elements binding or broken -
disassemble and inspect.
6. Bearings worn - inspect and replace as
required.
6.5 LEAKAGE
1. From covers and flanges:
a) Set screws not tight - retighten.
b) Damaged O-ring seals or gaskets - replace.
c) Check for thermal expansion of product
when locked between valves either side of
pump. Remove hydraulic lock potential.
2. From mechanical seal:
a) Mechanical seals incorrectly installed, worn
or damaged - replace.
b) Misalignment between pump and driver
causing excessive shaft distortion - check
coupling and realign as required.
c) Worn or damaged shaft in seal zone -
replace rotor/shaft.
d) Excess system pressure - check for
obstructions in discharge line and check as
in 1c) above.
