SECTION 3
PREPARATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER
Read and understand clearly all
safety rules and precautions before
attempting to operate the pump.
This section deals with pump preparation
after shipping and storage of the pump, user
built
lubrication
system
and
its
specifications, pump break in procedures,
recommended oils, allowable crankcase
operating
temperatures,
viscosity
conversion tables, and routine maintenance
schedule.
PREPARATION AFTER SHIPPING AND
STORAGE
All pumps are shipped dry and therefore
must be flushed with light weight oil before
operating. The flushing must be performed
regardless of method or duration of the
shipment or type of container the pump was
shipped in.
Pumps are not prepared for storage and
should be put in service as soon as
possible.
If for any reason the pump has to be put into
storage after prior use, the following
procedure should be followed:
1.
Clean and flush the fluid end with a
rust preventative.
2.
Plug
all
discharge
and
suction
openings.
3.
Drain oil from the power end and the
gear reduction unit.
4.
Flush the power end with a rust
preventative (before flushing make
sure that the rust preventative will not
clog the oil passages).
5.
Remove the breather and either plug or
tape the opening.
6.
Coat the gear reducer input shaft and
all bear metal with a heavy rust
preventive.
7.
Plug drain holes at the bottom of the
pump frame, crosshead guide, gear
reducer transition and offset.
8.
Plug the lube inlets.
9.
Store the pump inside in a warm dry
place.
10. If the pump is shipped ocean cargo, it
must be crated in a water-tight contain-
er placed below the deck to prevent
rusting and salt water contamination.
PUMP MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow this procedure to locate each foot or
pump-mounting bracket. This will require
the use of (8) Grade 8, 7/8”-9UNC” hex
head screws with lock washers to secure the
pump frame. Mounting brackets are not
furnished with the pump, and must be
fabricated during installation.
1.
Set the pump in its location.
2.
Pump
should
be
flat and fully
supported by the sub-structure or
trailer.
3.
The fluid end suction and discharge
connections should be disconnected for
this procedure.
4.
Using minimum ½” thick steel plate or
6” x 4” x ½” angle, make brackets for
two rear locations and two front
locations. (One long bracket in front
and one long bracket in rear is
recommended.)
5.
Place brackets flat on sub-structure,
and
transfer
location
of
tapped
mounting holes in frame to brackets.
6.
Bolt or Weld brackets to sub-structure.
