Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual – CPP21

FOREWORD

These units are horizontal process pumps of the overhung power frame configuration and identified by

Ruhrpumpen as CPP21.

It is recommended that the services of a Ruhrpumpen installation technician be employed for the installation

and initial starting of the pump. Such service will help to ensure the user that the equipment is properly

installed, and will provide an excellent opportunity for the plant operator to receive useful tips and guidelines

relative to the unit. The tools and/or equipment referenced in this manual are not supplied by Ruhrpumpen

unless specifically ordered. This pump design can be serviced with standard maintenance tools.

Instructions in this manual are written for trained, experienced technicians who are familiar with the basic

principles and tools involved in the installation, care and service of a pump and who, as part of their trade

education have acquired the ability to interpret and follow the detailed specifications required for such

installation, care, and service. Successful operation of the unit is dependent on careful study of the manual and

a well-planned maintenance program.

A complete reading of this manual by personnel in contact with the pump is essential to safety. Incorrect

installation, operation or maintenance can result in personal injury or death to personnel and damage to the

pump and plant.

Before performing any service function be certain that the unit is separate from its power source or that the

power source is locked out to prevent any form of energy from entering the equipment.

Contact with hot surfaces of the pump can cause severe burns. Care must be taken where such surfaces are

exposed. Care must also be taken to prevent ignition of flammable fluids or other material.

Information in this manual is believed to be reliable, but it is not guaranteed by Ruhrpumpen as to its

completeness or accuracy.
