6.4.2
Belt driven pumps
1.
Make allowances for possible pump shaft forward adjustment when positioning the
drive pulley on the shaft.
2.
Align the pump and motor pulleys correctly. Misalignment between pulleys could
cause excessive belt wear, heat generation and noise.
6.4.3
Direct driven pumps
Where practicable, fit a spacer coupling so that the pump "back pull-out" method can be
used, thus avoiding the need to remove the drive or other equipment. The minimum
distance between shaft ends needed to facilitate the "back pull-out" method is given in,
‘General Arrangement’, sub-section 2.6.
6.4.4
General installation procedure
1.
Check that the inlet and outlet openings and the case are clear of any debris and that
the respective joint seals are in position before connecting the pipework.
WARNING
WHERE THE SYSTEM IN WHICH THE PUMP IS INSTALLED IS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE PUMP
INLET AND OUTLET LINES CAN BE SHUT OFF OR COULD BECOME BLOCKED SIMULTANEOUSLY
,
SET
THE SAFETY VALVE TO THE PRESSURE SPECIFIED IN
‘
MATERIALS AND MAXIMUM WORKING
PRESSURES
’,
SECTION
2.4
.
THIS IS DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE THE RISK OF THE PUMP BURSTING
,
WHICH COULD HAPPEN IF THE PUMP IS RUNNING WITH BOTH THE INLET AND OUTLET LINES SHUT
OFF
.
2.
DO NOT
force the pipes into alignment with the inlet and outlet joint flanges. Avoid
unnecessary loads on the pump by ensuring that all pipework is adequately
supported and is not resting on the pump.
NOTE
:
THE JOINT FLANGES ARE SPLIT FOR EASE OF ASSEMBLY
.
IF FOUND TO BE LOOSE
,
TIGHTEN
THE RESPECTIVE SCREWS TO THE TORQUE LOADING NOTED IN THE TORQUE TABLE

.
3.
Disconnect the drive belts or coupling before connecting the electrical supply to the
drive motor.
4.
Run the motor and check that it turns in the direction indicated by the arrow sign –
see section 2.1.2.
CAUTION
THE PUMP MUST NOT BE RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS THIS COULD RESULT IN THE IMPELLER
UNWINDING FROM THE SHAFT
,
CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE PUMP
.
5.
Reconnect the drive belts or couplings as necessary.
6.
Re-check drive component alignments, and re-set if necessary –see section 9.5.6 .
NOTE
:
ALWAYS CHECK DRIVE ALIGNMENT AFTER INSTALLATION
