7. If excessive vibration or noise occurs during operation,
shut the pump down and consult with a Fairbanks Nijhuis™
representative. Only Fairbanks Nijhuis qualified representatives
should be engaged to service this equipment.
Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps are equipped with high grade antifriction
bearings which are lubricated at the factory for approximately six
months average service. Periodic inspections should be made by
loosening the bearing covers enough to permit visual examination of
the bearings.
In the event pumps are in service and operating in an area having
high ambient temperatures, special greases may be required. Contact
a lubrication engineer or a Fairbanks Nijhuis representative.
The stuffing boxes on Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps are packed at
the factory with a good grade of packing. However, all packing is
subject to wear and should be given regular inspections and, if
necessary, adjustments.
If the pumps are stored for long periods of time prior
to installation and operation, refer to Fairbanks Nijhuis
Storage of Pumps Notice, Form KC1309, located at the
front of this manual.
