Check rotation arrow prior to operating the
unit. The rotation of all Vertical In-Line units
is “clockwise” when viewed from the drive
end. (Looking from on top of / behind the
motor)
General Care
Vertical In-Line pumps are built to operate
without periodic maintenance, other than
motor lubrication on larger units. A
systematic inspection made at regular
intervals, will ensure years of trouble-free
operation, giving special attention to the
following:
Keep unit clean
Keep moisture, refuse, dust or other loose
particles away from the pump and
ventilating openings of the motor.
Avoid operating the unit in overheated
surroundings (Above 100ºF/40ºC).
Any possibility of the unit starting while
being serviced must be eliminated.
If mechanical seal environmental accessories
are installed, ensure water is flowing through
the sight flow indicator and that filter
cartridges are replaced as recommended.
Pump Lubrication
Lubrication is not required. There are no
bearings in the pump that need external
lubrication service.
Large Series split-coupled units are installed
with a shaft bushing located beneath the
impeller that is lubricated from the pump
discharge. This bearing is field removable for
service on the 20x20x19 size without
disturbing the motor or other major pump
components.
Motor
Follow
the
lubrication
procedures
recommended by the motor manufacturer.
Many small and medium sized motors are
permanently lubricated and need no added
lubrication. Generally if there are grease
fittings evident the motor needs periodic
lubrication, and if there are no grease fittings
evident, no periodic lubrication is required.
Check the lubrication instructions supplied
with the motor for the particular frame size
indicated on the motor nameplate.
Mechanical Seal
Mechanical seals require no special attention.
The mechanical seal is fitted with a flush line.
The seal is flushed from discharge of the
pump casing on split-coupled pumps and is
flushed/vented to the suction on close
coupled pumps.
The split-coupled pump is flushed from the
pump discharge because the mechanical seal
chamber is isolated from the liquid in the
pump by a throttle bushing. Because the seal
chamber is isolated, seal environmental
controls such as filters and separators, when
installed in the split-coupled flush line are
very effective, as only the seal chamber needs
cleansing, and will prolong seal life in HVAC
systems.
Do not run the pump unless properly filled
with water as the mechanical seals need a
film of liquid between the faces for proper
operation.
Electric
shock
hazard.
Before
attempting to perform any service or
maintenance
on
pumping
unit,
disconnect power source to the driver,
LOCK IT OFF and tag with the reason.
