Operating manual for BAUER gear pump
4 PUTTING INTO OPERATION
4.1 Gear pump without self-priming unit
Check oil level in the gearbox and in the oil reservoir before every start!
Position the pump as close to the pumped medium as it is safe to do so.
• Couple the suction line with the pump’s suction connection
and close the foot valve.
• Always use the shortest possible suction pipe
• Check that all connections are air-tight and that the
suction hose is in good condition
• Always ensure the pumped medium is homogeneous –
DO NOT OVER MIX! Air in the slurry affects performance
& can cause serious pump damage by cavitation.
• Difficult suction conditions can seriously affect the
performance of the pump and lead to cavitation
