SPECIAL INFORMATION
ROTATION:
See FIGURE 3. Viking 4076/4176 pumps are directional
due to the loading groove in the head. Standard rotation is
clockwise as viewed from the shaft end.
If rotation is to be reversed, the following items need to be
changed:
•The head and pin assembly must be replaced.
•Position of the relief valve will have to be changed.
Install so the adjusting screw cap points towards the
suction side of the pump.
•The flush line must be sw itched to the opposite port.
(Counter Clockwise Rotation Shown)
FIGURE 3
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES:
Viking pumps are positive displacement pumps and must
be provided with some form 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.
Pumps equipped with relief valves have them mounted on
the casing.
If pump rotation is reversed during operation, pressure
protection must be provided on both the sides of the pump.
The relief valve adjusting screw cap must always point
towards the pump suction port.
Pressure relief valves are intended for use as a protection
for the pump only and should not be used to control pump
flow or regulate discharge pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Viking 4076/4176 pumps are designed for long, trouble-free
service life under a variety of application conditions with a
minimum of maintenance. The following points will help
provide long service life.
LUBRICATION:
External lubrication must be applied slowly with a hand gun
to the lubrication fitting every 500 hours of operation with
multi-purpose grease, NLGI #2. Do not over-grease.
Applications involving very high or low temperatures will
require other types of lubrication. Refer to Engineering
Service Bulletin ESB-515. Consult factory with specific
lubrication questions.
Note that the bushings used in this pump do not require any
externallubrication.
CLEANING THE PUMP:
Keep the 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 non-detergent
SAE 30 weight oil 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
Viking series 4076/4176 pumps. These tools are in addition
to standard mechanics tools such as open end wrenches,
pliers and screw drivers. Most items can be obtained from
an industrial supply house.
•Soft headed hammer
•Allen wrenches
•Bearing locknut spanner wrench
(Source: #472 J.H. Williams & Co. or equal)
•Spanner wrench, adjustable pin type for use on bearing
housing end cap
(Source: J.H. Williams & Co. #482 or equal)
•Brass bar or wood block
•Arbor press

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove head capscrews. Remove the head of the
pump. Do not allow the idler to fall from the idler pin.
To prevent this from happening, tilt the top of the head
back when removing. Avoid damaging the head o-ring.
If the pump is furnished with a jacketed head plate, it
will separate from the head when capscrews are
removed. Avoid damaging the jacketed head plate
o-ring.
2. Remove the idler and bushing assembly.
3. Insert a length of hardwood or brass through either port
opening between the rotor teeth to keep the shaft from
turning. Remove the lock nut using a standard open
endwrench.
4. Loosen the two setscrews in the face of the bearing
housing and unthread the bearing housing assembly
from the bracket. The end of the bearing housing
contains the mechanical seal seat. Avoid damaging
this surface. See FIGURE 4.
5. Remove the rotor and shaft assembly being careful to
avoid damaging the mechanical seal face and casing
bushing.
6. Remove the rotating member of the mechanical seal
from the shaft only if the seal is to be replaced.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: To facilitate assembly, place the pump casing so
that it is standing on one of its flanges with a block of wood
under the mounting flange. See FIGURE 5.
FIGURE 4
FIGURE 5
1. Install the casing bushing. See “INSTALLATION OF
CARBON GRAPHITE BUSHINGS” on page 6.
2. Apply a light coating of oil onto the shaft in the seal
area. Install the rotating member of the mechanical
seal onto the rotor and shaft assembly. Slide the seal
all the way to the shoulder on the shaft.
3. Slide the rotor and shaft assembly into the casing,
taking care not to damage the bushing or the
mechanical seal face.
NOTE: When installing a new rotor and shaft assembly,
use a file to carefully remove all burrs and sharp edges.
4. Coat the head o-ring with oil or grease and slip it over
the head pilot to keep it in place. Apply a coating of
light oil onto the bushing inside diameter and the
crescent. Place the idler and bushing assembly onto
the idler pin.

5. Install the head. For proper head positioning, the pin
should be at the top centered between the two ports. If
the pump is equipped with a jacketed head plate, make
sure the o-ring is in place and install at this time.
Tighten the capscrews evenly.
Refer to FIGURE 4 for bearing housing assembly.
6. Install the lip seal in the bearing housing. See FIGURE
4 for lip orientation.
7. Pack the ball bearing with grease and push or press
the bearing into the bearing housing.
8. Install the lip seal in the end cap. See FIGURE 4 for lip
orientation. Thread the end cap into the bearing
housing along with the outer bearing spacer collar.
Tighten the end cap. Lock the end cap in place with
two radial setscrews in the flange of the bearing
housing.
9. See FIGURE 7 and notes under “MECHANICAL SEAL”
on this page. Lubricate the outside diameter of the
seat gasket and install the stationary member of the
mechanical seal into the end of the bearing housing.
Note the shinny side of the seal seat faces out.
10. Slide the inner bearing spacer collar onto the shaft.
Thread the bearing housing assembly into the bracket.
11. Insert a length of hardwood or brass through either port
opening between the rotor teeth. This will keep the
shaft from turning when the lock nut is tightened.
Install the lock nut and tighten to 70-95 N•m on HLE
pumps and 135-175 N•m on ATE and ALE pumps.
12. Adjust pump end clearance as described in “THRUST
BEARING ADJUSTMENT” on this page.
13. Lubricate the grease fitting with multi-purpose grease,
NLGI #2.
MECHANICAL SEAL
For disassembly, see “DISASSEMBLY” on page 3.
For assembly, see “ASSEMBLY” on page 3.
NOTE: Never touch the mechanical seal faces with
anything except clean hands or a clean cloth. Minute
particles can scratch the seal faces and cause leakage.
Always clean the rotor and shaft and seal housing bore
before installing the mechanical seal. Make sure surfaces
are clean and free of scratches.
There are two available mechanical seals. The standard
features a cup type seat. A “pin style” seal is also available
that has the seal seat pinned to prevent rotation. This
design is used for viscosities higher than 750 cps.
FIGURE 7
THRUST BEARING ADJUSTMENT
See FIGURE 4 on page 3.
1. Loosen the two setscrews in the outer face of the
bearing housing and turn the thrust bearing assembly
clockwise until it can no longer be turned by hand.
Back off counterclockwise until the rotor shaft can be
turned by hand with a slight, noticeable drag.
2. For standard end clearance, back of the thrust bearing
assembly the required length as measured on the
outside diameter of the bearing housing (See Table 3).
3. Tighten the two self locking type “Allen” setscrews in
the outboard face of the bearing housing. Tighten
each with equal force against the bracket. The pump is
now set with standard end clearance.
NOTE: Be sure the shaft rotates freely. If it doesn’t,
repeat the above procedure.
4. High viscosity liquids require additional end clearances.
The amount of extra clearance depends on the
viscosity of the liquid pumped. For specific
recommendations, consult the factory. Table 3 shows
the bearing housing adjustment required for additional
end clearance as well as values for standard end
clearance.

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 cracks easily. If cracked, the bushing
will quickly disintegrate. Using a lubricant on the bushing
and the mating part will help in installation. The additional
precautions listed below must be followed for proper
installation:
•A press must be used for installation.
•Be certain the bushing is straight.
•Do not stop the pressing operation until the bushing is
in the proper position, starting and stopping will result
in a cracked bushing.
•Check the bushing for cracks after installation.
INSTALLATION OF FOOT
Series 4176 pumps come equipped with a removable foot.
Removal of the foot is not normally required for
maintenance. In cases where the foot needs to be replaced
or is being added use the following steps.
1. Insure alignment pins are installed in the top of the foot
prior to assembly of the foot to the casing.
2. Match foot to casing by inserting pins into the bottom of
thecasing.
3. Secure foot to casing using the socket head capscrews
and lock washers. Torque capscrews to 100-110 N•m.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
INSTRUCTIONS
RELIEFVALVE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT:
If a new spring is installed or if pressure setting of pressure
relief valve is changed from what the factory has set, the
following instructions must be carefully followed.
1. Carefully remove the valve cap that covers the
adjusting screw. Note this cap will most likely contain
liquid.
2. Loosen the locknut that keeps the adjusting screw from
turningwhilethepumpisinoperation.
3. Install a pressure gauge in the discharge line. This will
be required for the pressure adjustment operation.
4. Turn the adjusting screw in to increase the pressure
and out to decrease the pressure.
5. With the discharge line closed at a point beyond the
pressure gauge, the gauge will show the maximum
pressure that the valve will allow while the pump is in
operation.
IMPORTANT
When ordering parts for a pressure relief valve, always give
the model number and serial number of the pump as it
appears on the nameplate. Also specify the name of the
part(s) wanted. When ordering springs, be sure to give the
pressure settings desired.
