PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Wear on the pump is affected by any number of pump applications. Abrasive
qualities due to specific applications as well as the pressure and the liquid
temperature being pumped will all cause pump wear. This section provides basic
practices and recommendations for preventive maintenance on your WSP™ Self-
Primer pump.
Following a consistent preventive maintenance schedule will help maintain peak
performance and an extended life from your WSP™ Self-Primer pump.
If you have questions about your current or proposed application, contact your
WSP™ distributor or the Weir Specialty Pump factory.
The key to a quality preventive maintenance program is continuous record keeping.
Always note changes in suction and discharge gauge readings if your pump includes
such gauges. If there are changes between regular inspections, it may indicate
some type of dysfunction that can be corrected before damage to your system or
total failure happens. Document any wearing parts during inspections for later
comparison. Make note in your records whether certain parts fail during the same
duty cycle so the part can be checked and replaced before it fails. This helps reduce
unscheduled down time.
Inspect wearing parts at 250 hours to ascertain the wear rate when implementing
new applications. Later inspections should be completed at designated times noted
on the following chart. Be aware that critical applications must be inspected more
frequently.
