DANGER
BEFORE OPENING ANY PUMP LIQUID CHAMBER (PUMPING CHAMBER, RESERVOIR, RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTING
CAP FITTING ETC.) BE SURE:
1. THAT ANY PRESSURE IN CHAMBER HAS BEEN COMPLETELY VENTED THROUGH SUCTION OR DISCHARGE
LINES OR OTHER APPROPRIATE OPENINGS OR CONNECTIONS.
2. THAT THE DRIVING MEANS (MOTOR, TURBINE, ENGINE, ETC.) HAS BEEN “LOCKED OUT” OR MADE NON-
OPERATIONAL SO THAT IT CANNOT BE STARTED WHILE WORK IS BEING DONE ON PUMP.
3. THAT YOU KNOW WHAT LIQUID THE PUMP HAS BEEN HANDLING AND THE PRECAUTIONS NECESSARY TO
SAFELY HANDLE THE LIQUID. OBTAIN A MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) FOR THE LIQUID TO BE
SURE THESE PRECAUTIONS ARE UNDERSTOOD.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ABOVE LISTED PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
ROTATION: Rotary gear pumps operate equally well in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The shaft
rotation determines which port is suction and which is discharge. Port in area where pumping elements (gear
teeth) come out of mesh is suction port.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES:
1. Rotary gear pumps are positive displacement pumps and must be provided with some sort of pressure
protection. This may be a relief valve mounted directly on the pump, an inline pressure relief valve, a torque
limiting device or a rupture disk.
2. There are relief valve options available on those pump models designed to accept a
relief valve. Options may include a return to tank relief valve and a jacketed relief
valve. Pumps equipped with a jacketed head are not available with a relief valve.
3. If pump rotation is reversed during operation, pressure protection must be provided
on both sides of pump.
4. Relief valve bonnet must always point towards suction side of pump. If pump
rotation is reversed, remove pressure relief valve and turn end for end. Figures 2
and 3 show the 2 possible configurations, Figure 2 has side suction and top
discharge. Figure 3 has top suction and side discharge. The shaft turns in the
opposite direction on the second pump.
5. Pressure relief valves cannot be used to control pump flow or regulate discharge
pressure.
SPECIAL INFORMATION
SPECIAL MECHANICAL SEALS can be installed either next to rotor hub or behind the
bracket bushing.
Extra care must be taken in repair of pumps with mechanical seals. Read and follow all
special information supplied with pump.
MAINTENANCE
Series 32 pumps are designed for long, trouble-free service life under a wide variety of
application conditions with a minimum of maintenance. The points listed below will help
provide long service life.
LUBRICATION: External lubrication must be applied slowly with a handgun to all lubrication fittings every 500
hours of operation with multi-purpose grease. Do not over-grease. Applications involving very high or low
temperatures will require other types of lubrication. Consult factory with specific lubrication questions.
PACKING ADJUSTMENT: New packed pumps require initial packing adjustment to control leakage as packing
“runs in”. The adjustment should be made while the pump is operating with normal operating pressure on the
discharge of the pump. Make adjustments carefully and do not over-tighten packing gland. Evenly tighten the
gland fasteners until the leak is reduced to a very slow drip. If over tightened the packing will over heat, score the
shaft and reduce life. After initial adjustment, inspect periodically for increased leakage and re-adjust. Once the
gland has been tightened to the stuffing box, loosen the packing gland and add one ring to the stuffing box, then
adjust again. Refer to instructions under Disassembly, page 6, and Assembly, page 7, regarding repacking pump.

CLEANING PUMP: Keep pump as clean as possible. This will facilitate inspection,
adjustment and repair work and help prevent overlooking a dirt covered grease fitting.
STORAGE: If pump is to be stored, or not used for six months or more, pump must
be drained and a light coat of lubricant and rust preventative suitable to the
application must be applied to all internal pump parts. Lubricate fittings and apply
grease to pump shaft extension. Viking suggests rotating pump shaft by hand, one
complete revolution every 30 days to circulate the oil.
SUGGESTED REPAIR TOOLS: The following tools must be available to properly
repair Series 32 pumps. These tools are in addition to standard mechanics’ tools such
as open-end wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, etc. Most of the items can be obtained
from an industrial supply house.
1. Soft Headed hammer
2. Allen wrenches (some mechanical seals and set collars)
3. Packing hooks, flexible (packed pumps)
Small for 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch cross section packing
Large for 3/8 inch and larger cross section packing
4. Arbor press
Strainers: Use a strainer on the suction side of the pump to prevent foreign material
from entering the pump causing damage to the gears, and casing or lock-up the
pump. Keep the strainer on the suction side of the pump clean and free of debris. A
blocked strainer will not allow sufficient liquid to reach the pump. The lack of liquid
reaching the pump will create cavitation. Cavitation is when the liquid vaporizes on its
way to the pump, then returns to a liquid form on the surfaces of the pump. This is
very noisy, damaging to a pump, and seriously affects the output.

DISASSEMBLY OF PACKED PUMPS
Note: For large pump models the use of a lifting device is advised.
1. Remove the packing gland fastener, and pull the gland out of the stuffing box, and off of the
shaft.
2. Mark head and casing before disassembly to insure proper re-assembly. The idler pin, which is
offset in pump head, must be positioned toward and centered between the port connections to
allow for proper flow of liquid through pump. Figure 1, page 2.
Remove head from pump. Do not allow idler to fall from idler pin. Tilt top of head back and down
when removing to prevent this. The idler and bushing should stay on the idler pin. If pump is
furnished with pressure relief valve, it need not be removed from head or disassembled at this
point. Refer to Pressure Relief Valve Instructions, page 12.
The gaskets must be totally removed. Use new gasket when assembling pump.
3. Remove idler and bushing assembly from the idler pin.
4. Tap the shaft forward with a softheaded hammer, and pull it out of the casing and bushing
assembly. Large assemblies can be supported with a hoist and rope or strap around a rotor
tooth.
5. The packing may be removed with a packing puller. In some cases two pullers will be required,
or pushed out with a chisel and a hammer from the bushing side (be careful not to damage the
bushing). If removal, still cannot be done with the pullers, or chisel, stand the casing on the face
of the stuffing box and press the bushing out through the packing area. This will remove all of
the packing with the bushing.
6. Clean all parts thoroughly and examine for wear and damage. Check all parts for nicks, burrs,
excessive wear and replace if necessary.
7. Check the bearings for roughness. Roughness can be determined by turning the inner and outer
race in opposite directions by hand. Note if the motion is smooth and free or rough and stiff.
Smooth and free is desired.
8. The casing bushing can also be inspected while still in the casing. If replacement is necessary,
and not already removed in step 5, stand the unit on the head-mounting surface and push the
bushing out with a round bar through the packing end of the casing.
Note: For models Q, M, and N the rotor bearing sleeve can be removed from the casing to make
removal of the bushing easier.
9. If the idler pin is worn, remove the grease fitting, and support the casing on the crescent side as
close as possible to the idler pin. Press the pin out.
10. If the idler bushing is worn it can be pressed out of the idler. However the idler will likely be worn
as mush as the bushing, therefore it is recommended that the complete assembly be replaced.

ASSEMBLY OF PACKED PUMPS
Rotary gear pumps are supplied with a wide variety of bushing materials. These materials should not
all be treated the same. See “Bushing Material” page 11.
1. Press the idler bushing into the idler gear. Figure 4, page 3. Refer to Installation of Carbon
Graphite Bushing see page 11.
Note: Some bushings have a small step in the diameter on one end to assist in the alignment and
starting.
2. Coat the idler pin with non-detergent SAE 30 weight oil and using the idler bushing as a guide,
press the idler pin into the head with the tapped hole in and the groove pointing toward the center
of the crescent. Figure 5, page 3
3. Install the casing bushing. If the bushing has a lubrication groove, install bushing with the
lubrication hole aligned with the grease-fitting hole on the casing. Figure 6, page 3. If carbon
graphite, refer to Installation of Carbon Graphite Bushings, page 11.
Note: Q, M,N and R pumps have RBS bushings installed in the rotor bearing sleeve which is mounted
on the back side of the casing. Figure 12 & 13
4. Coat the shaft of the rotor and shaft assembly with non-detergent SAE 30 weight oil. Start the end
of shaft in the casing bushing and slowly push the shaft through bushing. Continue until the rotor
and shaft assembly cannot move any further. Figure 7, page 3.
5. Perform all step in “END CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT” page 11,
6. Use only new packing suitable for the liquid being pumped. Install the packing, staggering the joints
from one side of shaft to other, Figure 9, page 6. If needed, lubricate packing rings with oil, grease
or graphite to aid assembly. Use the packing gland or a length of pipe to seat each packing ring,
Figure 10, page 6.
7. Install packing gland, capscrews and nuts. Make sure the gland is installed square and nuts are
only finger tight. Figure 11. Refer to “Packing Adjustment” page 2 after the pump is assembled and
installed.
8. Replace the grease fittings and pipe plugs.
9. Lubricate all grease fittings with multi-purpose grease.

5. Do steps 6, through 10 under “DISASSEMBLY OF PACKED PUMPS”
ASSEMBLY OF SEALED PUMPS
The seal used in this pump is simple to install and good performance will result if care is taken during
installation.
The principle of the mechanical seal is that contact between the rotary and stationary members.
These parts are lapped to a high finish and their sealing effectiveness depends on complete contact.
A number of pumps are supplied with special mechanical seals. These special seals are not
discussed in TSM 32. Information is available by contacting the factory. When requesting special
seal information, be sure to give pump model number and serial number.
There is a wide variety of bushing materials available, these materials should not all be treated the
same. See “Bushing Material” page 11.
1. Repeat steps 1 through 5 of Packed Pump Assembly.
2. Clean the oil off of the shaft, and apply lubricant as recommended by your seal supplier to the
shaft, the inner diameter of the rotating element, and the outer diameter of the stationary element
of the mechanical seal.
3. Place the o-ring in the small groove in the seal seat.
4. Press the stationary seat into the seal seat retainer while protecting the face as pictured in figure
14.
5. Place the spring on driving ring with the setscrews already started in the threads. Put the spring
and ring on the shaft.
6. Slide the rotary member with the lapped contact surface facing away from spring onto shaft until
it is in the spring. Figure 15.
7. Push the seal seat, spring and driving ring into the stuffing box so that the driving ring is visible
through the access hole in the side of the seal chamber. Rotate the shaft until the setscrews are
accessible, then tighten down the two setscrews on the ring. Figure 16
8. Put the seal seat retainer on the shaft with the stationary element facing toward the rotating
element on the shaft.
9. Start the fasteners on the retainer, and tighten by hand until the seal faces touch and a small amount of
pressure is applied by the spring. Check that the retainer is centered and square with the shaft.
10.Tighten the fasteners evenly and in small increments. Figure 17
11.Replace the pipe plug in the hole in the side of the seal chamber.

INSTALLATION OF CARBON GRAPHITE BUSHINGS
When installing carbon graphite bushings, extreme care must be taken to prevent breaking. Carbon
graphite is a brittle material and is easily cracked. If cracked, the bushing will quickly disintegrate.
Using a lubricant and adding a chamfer on the bushing and the mating part will help in installation. The
additional precautions listed below must be followed for proper installation:
1. A press must be used for installation.
2. Lubricate the bushing and bore with soapy water.
3. Be certain bushing is started straight.
4. Do not stop pressing operation until bushing is in proper position. Starting and stopping will result
in a cracked bushing.
5. Check bushing for cracks after installation.
BUSHING MATERIALS
END CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
1. The rotor and shaft assembly must be in the casing as far as possible.
2. Measure the distance between the rotor teeth and the outer face of the casing. Figure 18
3. Measure the distance between the mounting surface and the first step on the head. Figure 19
4. Subtract the two measurements and add your required end-clearance.
5. Use 0.015” gaskets to attain the thickness as calculated above.
6. Place the gaskets on the head. Figure 8, page 6.
7. With the idler and bushing on the idler pin, place the head and idler inside the rotor teeth.
8. Rotate into the proper position while pushing the head to the casing.
9. Bolt into place and tighten evenly.
PNEUMATIC TESTING
1. Seal the ports with pipe plugs. Be sure to provide a male air line connection to one of the ports.
2. Apply approximately 50 psi of air pressure to the pump. Figure 20
3. Spray or brush the externals with soapy water and watch for growing air bubbles on any pump
component. These bubbles will indicate where leaks are occurring.
4. Relieve the pressure from the pump.
5. Carefully disconnect the air supply.
6. Remove the plugs or covers from the ports.
7. Return the pump to service.

2. Measure and record length of adjusting screw protruding out of the end cap.
3. Loosen locknut and back out adjusting screw until spring pressure is released.
4. Remove relief valve cap, spring guide, spring and poppet from valve body. Clean and inspect all
parts for wear or damage and replace as necessary.
ASSEMBLY
1. Clean and inspect all parts for wear or damage and replace as necessary. Insert the poppet,
spring, and spring guide into the valve body. Figures 21, 22
2. Put two gaskets on the cap, and install it into the relief valve body.
3. Put the adjusting screw into the relief valve cap so that the portion protruding out of the end cap is
the same as that measured from disassembly. Figure 23
4. Lock the adjusting screw into location with the lock nut.
5. Put the o-ring over the threads on the relief valve cap and install the bonnet. Figure 24
If valve is removed for repairs, be sure to replace in same position. Relief valve adjusting screw cap
must always point towards suction side of pump. If pump rotation is reversed, remove relief valve and
turn end for end. Refer to Figures 2, 3, page 2.
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
If a new spring is installed or if the pressure setting of pressure relief valve is to be changed from that
which the factory has set, the following instructions must be carefully followed:
1. Install a pressure gauge in discharge line for actual adjustment operation. Do this with all
pressure relieved from the system.
2. Carefully remove the bonnet which covers the adjusting screw.
3. Loosen the lock nut which locks the adjusting screw so that the pressure setting will not change
during operation of pump.
4. With the pump operating, read the pressure from the gauge. There will be a leak around the
adjusting screw.
5. Turn adjusting screw in to increase pressure and out to decrease pressure. Remember that the
relief valve should not open during normal conditions.
6. Closing a valve in the piping will stopping all flow. A pressure gauge on the discharge port of the
pump will show the maximum pressure that the relief valve will allow while pump is in operation.
IMPORTANT: When ordering parts for pressure relief valve, always give model number and serial
number of pump as it appears on nameplate and name of part wanted. When ordering springs, be sure
to give pressure setting desired.
