INSTALLATION
AFTER CAREFUL PRELIMINARY INSPECTION, YOU MAY
PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP INTO YOUR
SYSTEM.
1. LOWER THE PUMP INTO SYSTEM.
2. MAKE SURE MOUNTING PLATE IS SETTING FIRMLY ON
THE SUPPORT CHANNELS. (IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO USE
METAL SHIMS TO LEVEL PLATE.)
3. SECURE MOUNTING PLATE BY USING HOLD-DOWN
SCREWS IN ALL FOUR CORNERS. AGAIN, CARE MUST BE
TAKEN TO MAKE SURE PLATE IS FIRM AND LEVEL. DO
NOT FORCE BOWED PLATE LEVEL.USE METAL SHIMS IF
NECESSARY.
4. MAKING PIPE CONNECTIONS:
A. EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO SUPPORT
ALL PIPING WITHOUT CAUSING ANY STRAIN ON
THE PUMP.
B. INSTALL PIPE HANGER ON THE DISCHARGE PIPE
SO THAT ALL PIPING WEIGHT IS SUPPORTED BY
THE HANGER AND NOT BY THE PUMP OR THE
CASING.
C. BOLT HOLES MUST LINE-UP WITHOUT PRYING TO
INSERT BOLTS.
D. WHEN TIGHTENING FLANGE BOLTS, PIPE
FLANGES MUST NOT BE FORCED TOGETHER.
E. CHECK VALVE SHOULD BE PLACED IN
DISCHARGE LINE BETWEEN GATE VALVE AND
PUMP DISCHARGE PIPE TO PREVENT LIQUID
FROM RUNNING BACK THROUGH THE PUMP AND
CAUSING REVERSE ROTATION. THIS IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN APPLICATIONS WITH
INTERMITTENT DUTY WHERE THE PUMP MAY BE
ROTATING BACKWARDS WHEN SERVICE IS
RESUMED. THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
PUMP AND THE DRIVE MOTOR.
F. PRESSURE GAUGE SHOULD BE LOCATED AT THE
PUMP DISCHARGE, AS ALL PERFORMANCE DATA
IS TAKEN AT PUMP DISCHARGE.
G. IF INTAKE PIPING IS USED TO PUMP THE TANK
DOWN, IT MUST ALSO BE SUPPORTED
INDEPENDENTLY OF THE PUMP.
5. REMOVE COUPLING GUARD AND ROTATE COUPLING BY
HAND. PUMP SHOULD ROTATE FREELY AT THIS POING. IF
IT DOES NOT, CHECK FOR:
A. PIPING STRAIN: WITHOUT EXCEPTION, PIPE MUST
NOT REST ON PUMP IN ANY MANNER. (SEE ITEM
#4 OF THE INSTALLATION SECTION.)
B. IMPELLER ADJUSTMENT:
1. DISCONNECT COUPLING (#32) AND
REMOVE SLEEVE (#32A).
2. LOOSEN THREE LOCKING SCREWS (#57).
3. LOOSEN THREE ADJUSTING SCREWS
(#55).
4. LIGHTLY TAP SHAFT (8) UNTIL HOUSING
(4) BOTTOMS ON TO HOUSING (9).
5. TIGHTEN THREE LOCKING SCREWS (#57)
UNTIL THEY TOUCH RETAINER (#1).
6. TIGHEN ADJUSTING SCREWS (#55) AND
JAMB NUTS (#56).
7. ROTATE COUPLING BY HAND TO BE
SURE IMPELLER (#17) DOES NOT RUB. IF
IMPELLER RUBS, REPEAT STEPS #1
THROUGH #6.
8. CONNECT COUPLING.
C. SLINGER ADJUSTMENT: THE SLINGER (#12) IS SET
AT THE FACTORY AND NORMALLY CAUSES NO
PROBLEMS, BUT SHOULD BE CHECKED WHEN
UNIT IS INSPECTED UPON ARRIVAL AT YOUR
PLANT SITE AND BEFORE UNIT IS LOWERED INTO
POSITION IN YOUR SYSTEM.
5. MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO CONFORM WITH
STATE AND LOCAL CODES. (IT IS ADVISED TO USE
APPROXIMATELY 4’ LENGTH OF FLEXIBLE CONDUIT TO
FACILITATE REMOVAL OF MOTOR, IF REPAIR IS
REQUIRED.)
UPON INITIAL START-UP, PUMPS MAY SEEM TO RUN TIGHT
AND HOT. THIS IS CAUSED BY BREAKING-IN OF OIL SEALS AND
BALL BEARINGS. PUMP WILL OPERATE NORMALLY AFTER
APPROXIMATELY 150 HOURS OF SERVICE. BALL BEARINGS
SHOULD NOT RUN OVER 225 DEGRESS FAHRENHEIT. WHEN
CHECKING TEMPERATURE USE A PYROMETER.
MAINTENANCE
1. LUBRICATION: ALL PUMPS ARE LUBRICATED AT THE
FACTORY AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL
LUBRICATION AT START-UP. A WELL PLANNED
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE CAN ONLY BE DEVISED AFTER
CAREFUL OBSERVATION OF THE PUMP FOR THE FIRST SIX
MONTHS OF OPERATION AND THE LUBRICATION THAT
HAS BEEN REQUIRED. EACH PUMP INSTALLATION IS
UNIQUE AND REQUIRES A DIFFERENT LUBRICATION
SCHEDULE COMPATIBLE WITH THAT SPECIFIC
OPERATION. USE CHEVRON SRI #2 BALL BEARING
GREASE. DO NOT OVER GREASE AS IT WILL CAUSE BALL
BEARINGS TO RUN HOT.
2. TO LUBRICATE:
DO NOT LUBRICATE WHILE SHAFT IS IN MOTION.
A. LOCATE ZERK FITTINGS ON PARTS (#1) AND (#9).
B. FILL WITH GREASE UNTIL FRESH GREASE FLOWS
FROM OPENING.
