1.2. Installation of New Pump
F-1300/1600 mud pump has been completely assembled and test operated under pressure before
being shipped to the field. Unless otherwise instructed, the lubrication is drained from the power end.
Before putting the pump into service, the precautions and operations must be performed or checked.
In order to prevent personal injury during the performance of any maintenance or inspection
procedures, this equipment MUST BE SHUT DOWN AND NOT OPERATING, and all safety devices on
prime movers and drive devices MUST BE IN THE SAFE POSITION.
The skid under the F-1300/1600 mud pumps is suitable for any type of installation. However, the
support under the pump must be level and adequate to support the self-weight and operating forces
exerted by the pump.
