SYSTEM OPERATION
4.1
15B
Initial Systems Check
54B
The following procedure should be used to verify that all systems are functioning properly. This procedure is
only necessary following the initial system installation and does not need to be done for every subsequent
system start.
55B
NOTE: The Panel Assembly and Gearbox Assembly were factory acceptance tested (FAT) using a small
amount of MSI Plunger Grease. This testing is performed to ensure the internal connections are properly made,
systems are all functioning correctly, and that air has been purged from the system and primed with grease.
56B
Installation assurance checks:
1)
57B
Ensure all connections have been made.
a)
82B
System air supply.
b)
83B
Panel Assembly to Gearbox Assembly supply air.
c)
84B
Panel Assembly to Gearbox Assembly return air.
d)
85B
Packing lubricant supply lines (one per packing gland).
2)
58B
All lubrication supply lines must be primed using a lubricant that meets the requirements of
H
Section
3.5
H
. There are grease fittings located on the Panel Assembly to allow priming all lines prior to
startup. Using a hand operated grease or oil-dispensing gun, pump lubricant until there is a
noticeable increase in resistance, this will indicate that lubricant has reached the packing nut.
59B
NOTE: If using the MSI Lube Relief System™ the supplied relief pressure gauge may be used to indicate when
a line has achieved prime. Once the gauge registers at least 40 psig pressure for the first primed line, move on
to next line. The gauge will “blip” once each successive line is primed. Repeat this step for each lubrication
line.
3)
60B
Enable system air supply and move control valve to the “ON” position as indicated by the indicator
label. This valve will remain in the “ON” position at all times during pump operation.
4)
61B
Check for air leaks and tighten or replace fittings as necessary.
5)
62B
Verify pressure setting of regulators in Panel Assembly.
a)
86B
Non-adjustable regulator (left side of panel) should register 60 psig (+/- 3 psig).
b)
87B
Adjustable regulator (right side of panel) should register between 80 psig and 100 psig. This
range is indicated by two green arrows in the pressure gauge dial.
