CHECKING ROTATION - CLOSE
COUPLED
$
!
CAUTION
Serious damage may result if pump is run
in the wrong rotation.
1.
Unlock driver power.
2.
Make sure everyone is clear. Jog driver just long
enough to determine direction of rotation. Rotation of
motor fan must correspond to arrow on close coupled
frame.
LUBRICATING BEARINGS
!
Bearings must be lubricated properly in order to
prevent excess heat generation, sparks, and
premature failure.
Flood Oil Lubrication
-
Pumps are shipped without oil. Fill
bearing frame with oil through filler connection until oil
level reaches center of sight-glass (Fig. 31). A high quality
turbine type oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors should be
used as specified in
Table 6.
Close Coupled Pumps - Pump does not have ball bearings.
Consult motor instruction book for required lubrication.
s
!
WARNING
Operation of the unit without proper lubrication will
cause bearing failure and pump seizure.
CONNECT CONDITION
MONITORING DEVICES
If unit is equipped with power monitoring systems, this
must be connected.
PRIMING PUMP
Never start pump until properly primed (pump casing and
suction piping are full of liquid). Components such as
internal sleeve bearings depend on liquid for lubrication
and will quickly fail if run dry.
Your particular system conditions will dictate method used
to prime pump.
STARTING PUMP
1.
Make sure suction valve and any recirculation or
cooling lines are open.
2.
Fully close or partially open discharge valve as
dictated by system conditions.
3.
Start driver.
$
!
CAUTION
Immediately observe pressure gauges. If discharge
pressure is not quickly attained, stop driver, reprime
and attempt to restart.
4.
Slowly open discharge valve until the desired flow is
obtained.
$
!
CAUTION
Continuous operation against closed discharge valve
will cause pump to overheat. Overheating the
magnetic drive assembly will weaken or ruin the
magnets.
s
!
WARNING
Continuous operation against closed discharge valve
may vaporize liquid creating an explosive hazard due
to confined vapor under high pressure and
temperature.
