8 6EM Thru 18GM - 1100 Vertical Turbine Pumps
prevent line shafts from deforming or
bowing under their own weight.
3. Pumps stored fully assembled and
installed are to be rotated once per week
to prevent brinelling of motor thrust
bearings. Packing or mechanical seals
are to be serviced as noted above.
Unassembled Pumps:
1. Store the unassembled components in a
clean, dry well-ventilated place free from
vibrations, moisture, and temperature
variation.
2. Wipe clean all exposed machined
surfaces and coat with a heavy layer of
grease or other equivalent rust
preventative material.
3. Cover the suction and discharge of the
pump with cardboard or wood to prevent
entry of foreign material or varmints. This
also applies to column sections.
4. The bearings, shaft, and couplings should
be stored as components, i.e., shaft with
couplings installed on lower ends. The
ends should then be wrapped with heavy
plastic or protective material and secured
tightly to prevent entry of foreign matter
and varmints.
