General Application
These pumps are volute type centrifugal pumps, designed for
handling liquids containing soft solids, and are, therefore, termed
solids handling pumps.
They use a close-coupled motor as the driver; i.e., the pump shaft
and bearings are incorporated with the motor. The motor shaft
extends through the stuffing box and is protected from wear by a
removable sleeve which is sealed by a mechanical seal.
The volute is a cast iron type with an integral discharge nozzle
capable of passing any soft solid that is passed by the impeller.
The impeller is an enclosed solids handling type, cast in one
piece. The clearance between the impeller and front head can be
externally adjusted to compensate for wear.
Both the suction elbow and discharge casings have openings
with removable covers to provide access to the impeller.

1. Ensure that shipping oil, when supplied, has been flushed out of
the seal housing box. Ensure that fluid is in the seal box.
2. The seal should never be operated, even to test electrical
connections, until the operator knows that there is fluid in the
seal box. Running the seal with an air bound box is the same as
running the seal without fluid.
3. Ensure that the line to seal housing is installed and the seal
housing is vented. If you have ordered the optional filter system,
furnished by Fairbanks Nijhuis™, it will be packaged separately
from the pump. Inspect these parts and install in accordance with
FIGURES 1, 2 and 3.
4. Some seals will leak slightly when first run. This leakage should
cease within a very short time.
