C-3.2) Insulation Test:
Before the pump is put into service, an insulation (megger)
test should be performed on the motor. The resistance values
(ohms) as well as the voltage (volts) and current (amps)
should be recorded on the start-up report. Pumps/systems
with an insulation value of less than 5 M-Ohms should
be investigated for moisture or damaged cables before
proceeding.
C-3.3) Pump-Down Test:
After the pump has been properly wired and lowered into the
basin, sump or lift station, it is advisable to check the system
by fi lling with liquid and allowing the pump to operate through
it’s pumping cycle. The time needed to empty the system, or
pump-down time along with the volume of water, should be
recorded on the start-up report.
IMPORTANT! THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE STARTS
PER HOUR IS 15, EVENLY SPACED.
SECTION D: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
As the motor and seal chamber are oil-fi lled, no lubrication or
other maintenance is required, and generally Barnes Pumps
will give very reliable service and can be expected to operate
for years of normal sewage pumping without failing. However,
as with any mechanical piece of equipment a preventive
maintenance program is recommended and suggested to
include the following checks:
1) Test moisture detector control “Test Switch” for
continuity of circuit. Water in the seal chamber will
energize a seal leak warning light at the control
panel. This is a warning light only and does not
stop the motor. It indicates the seal has leaked
and must be repaired. This should be done within 2
or 3 weeks to prevent further damage. See section
C-2.2.
2) Inspect impeller and body for excessive build-up or
clogging and repair as required per section E-2.
3) Inspect outer shaft seal and replace as required per
section E-3.
4) Check motor for ground leakage and proper amp
draw.
SECTION E: SERVICE AND REPAIR
NOTE: All item numbers in ( ) refer to Figures 10, 11 & 12.
WARNING ! - Electrical power to the pump
motors must be disconnected and locked
out to prevent any dangerous electrical
hazards or personnel danger before any
service work is done to the pump.
CAUTION ! - Operating pump
builds up heat and pressure;
allow time for pump to cool
to room temperature before
handling or servicing.
E-1) Lubrication
E-1.1) Checking Oil
1. Place pump on it’s side, and drain oil into a clean, dry container.
2. Check oil for contamination using an oil tester with a range
to 30Kilovolts breakdown.
3. If oil is found to be clean and uncontaminated (measure
above 15 KV. breakdown), refi ll the seal chamber as per
section E-1.2.
4. If oil is found to be dirty or contaminated (or measures
below 15 KV. breakdown), the pump must be carefully
inspected for leaks at the shaft seal (4), before refi lling
with oil. To locate the leak, perform a pressure test as per
section E-1.3. After leak is repaired, refi ll with new oil as
per section E-1.2.
E-1.2) Replacing Oil:
Seal Chamber - Drain all oil from seal chamber and dispose
of properly. Refi ll with (see parts list for amount) new cooling
oil as per Table 1. An air space must remain to compensate
for oil expansion (See Fig. 9). Set unit on side
and fi ll.
IMPORTANT! - Do not over
fi
ll oil. Over
fi
lling
of seal chamber with oil can create
excessive and dangerous hydraulic
pressure which can destroy the pump and create a
hazard. Over
fi
lling oil voids warranty.
E-1.3) Pressure Test:
Seal Chamber - Before checking the pump for leaks around
the shaft seal, the oil level should be full. Remove pipe plug.
Apply pipe sealant to pressure gauge assembly and tighten
into pipe plug hole. Pressurize motor housing to 10 P.S.I.
Use a soap solution around the sealed area and inspect
joints for “air bubbles”. If, after fi ve minutes, the pressure
is still holding constant, and no “bubbles” are observed,
slowly bleed the pressure and remove the gauge assembly.
Replace the pipe plug using a sealant. If the
pressure does not hold, then the leak must
be located.
CAUTION! - Pressure builds up extremely
fast, increase pressure by “tapping” air
nozzle. Too much pressure will damage seal. Do Not
exceed 10 P.S.I. in seal chamber.

E-2) Impeller and Volute Service:
E-2.1) Disassembly and Inspection:
To clean out the volute (11), or clean out or replace impeller
(6), disconnect power, remove cap screws (2) then vertically
lift motor assembly from the pump body (11). Clean out
the volute, if necessary, clean and examine impeller (6) for
pitting or wear, replace if required. To remove Impeller (6),
remove cap screw (8) and washer (8A). The impeller is keyed
onto the shaft with a square key (7) and to remove, pull
