Final Assembly
To complete final assembly, perform the following:
1.
Connect the propeller or drive shaft to the pump transmission.
2.
Connect the intake and discharge piping.
3.
Connect the cooling and drain lines, electrical wiring and similar equip‐
ment to the pump and accessories.
4.
Fill the pump transmission with lubricant as directed in the transmission
operation and maintenance instructions.
NOTE: After reassembling pump, perform vacuum test per NFPA 1911
before truck is placed back in service.
Vacuum Test
1.
Remove all caps except openings without valves. Close all discharge,
intake and drain valves and other similar openings. Operate priming de‐
vice to create a vacuum of about 22 in. Hg/.735 atmosphere in pump, then
stop primer and engine.
2.
Watch the pressure gauge; if vacuum drops more than 10 in. Hg/.334
atmospheres in five (5) minutes, listen for air leaks around the packing
gland, gaskets, valves, etc.
3.
Replace gaskets, re-adjust packing, repack or otherwise repair source of
trouble.
4.
Repeat test.
Testing
Before a pump can be returned to service, it is advisable to give the pump a hydrostatic and operational tests to check it for leaks and to make sure the pump operates
properly.
Hydrostatic Testing
1.
Connect the pump to a hydrant or other pressurized water supply.
2.
Close all drain lines and open the discharge and priming valves.
3.
Open hydrant until the water runs out through the discharge valves and
discharge pipe in priming pump (if used).
4.
Close all valves. Be sure to evacuate all air from the pump.
5.
Check for leaks with a portable light. If leaks are discovered, tighten con‐
nections or attaching parts as necessary. Repeat until all leaks are elimi‐
nated.
NOTE: If a mechanical seal is used, the seal may leak under hydrostatic
pressure; however, it should stop leaking after the seal faces are run in
during operational testing.
6.
Shut hydrant valve after all leaks are eliminated.
7.
Drain pump completely and disconnect intake hose.
Operational Testing
1.
Adjust packing as described in packing section.
WARNING
!
Do not adjust gland nuts while pump is running. Observe stuffing box leak‐
age by watching drippage from the side of the truck.
2.
Operate the pump at its maximum intended service pressure. If desired, a
CP-1 or CP-2 pump may be tested at discharge pressure up to 900 psig
when operated in series from the main pump. The intake pressure on the
CP-1 or CP-2 when operated in series should be 400 to 500 psi (27.6 to
34.5 bar).
3.
Check for leaks with a portable light. If leaks are discovered, stop the
pump and tighten connections or tighten attaching parts as necessary.
Repeat until all leaks are eliminated.
4.
Check for unusual noises, oil leaks, overheated bearings, etc. while the
pump is running. If anything unusual is discovered, stop the pump immedi‐
ately and determine the cause of the problem.
