7.3.2 Preparations for disassembling
✔ Pump is unpressurized
✔ Pump is completely empty, flushed and decontaminated
✔ Electrical connecti ons are isolated and the mo tor is
secured against switch-on
✔ Pump has cooled down
✔ Coupling shield is dismounted
✔ For couplings with a spacer piece: spacer piece is removed
✔ Auxiliary operating systems are shut down, unpressurized
and emptied
✔ Manometer connections, manometer and fixtures are dis-
mounted
The pumps are constructed in process archite cture as stan-
dard. The slide-in unit can be dismounted without removing
the volute casing and piping.
If a coupling with a spacer piece is used, the motor can
remain mounted on the base pl ate.
1. For disassembling take note of the following:
– Precisely mark the assembly orientation and position
of all components before disassembly.
– Dismount components concentrically without canting.
– Disassemble the pump (→ S ectional drawing).
2. Loosen the fixation bolts of support foot 183 and casing
feet 187.
3. Lift the pump out of the installation (→ 4.1.2 Lifting,
Page 13).
