Appendix Pumps Rev.10.15
Installation
• Follow all General Safety Instructions.
• Ensure pump is free from protective packing materials and rotates freely.
• Only use the pump as intended, while remaining aware of safety risks, and in
adherence to the instructions in this manual.
• Pump Drive:
Drive alignment is very important. Ensure backlash is 0.1mm (0.004”) to avoid
shock or radial load. In the event of drive shaft connection, two flexible components
must be incorporated into each drive shaft to allow for misalignment. These flexible
components must have the capacity to distort over the misalignment range while
ensuring that any radial load is minimal. Do not allow shaft to put end thrust on the
pump.
• Rotation:
Ensure drive rotates in correct direction. The pump must be checked for smooth
operation by hand.
• Fixing and Lubrication:
The pump must be fixed securely to maintain position and alignment. When
secured by lubricated bolts, torque them evenly to the suggested torque (see
Maintenance).
Start drive and bring up to speed slowly. Flush with process fluid.
Note: motor base plate assemblies should be pre-checked in case the drive
alignment has been disturbed.
• In order to ensure normal functioning of the pump and system, monitor the pressure
at the outlet of the pump. The monitoring locations should be in the outlet port
connections.
• Monitor the pump temperature, after installation and during operation. Note sudden
changes in temperature which do not correlate with sudden changes in the
temperature of the process liquid. If sudden temperature changes occur, shut down
the pump operation and contact trained, specialized personnel for inspection and
maintenance.
• Rotate the pump drive shaft by hand after mounting and fully tightening the
mounting bolts. The shaft should turn freely.
