valve, apply `Loctite Pipe Sealant With Teflon No.
592', or equivalent compound, on the relief valve
threads. Position the valve as shown in Figure 3
with the discharge port pointing down.
Final Pump Assembly
(Figure 1)
Be sure
the pump is secured to the base and en
gine. Be sure to install any guards used over the ro
tating members.
Do not operate the pump without
the
guards in place over the rotating parts.
Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth
ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in
jury to personnel.
Install the suction and discharge lines and open all
valves. Make certain that all piping connections are
tight, properly supported and secure.
Be sure
the pump and engine have been properly
lubricated, see
LUBRICATION
.
Remove the fill cover assembly (6, Figure 4) and fill
the pump casing with clean liquid. Reinstall the fill
cover and tighten it. Refer to
OPERATION
, Section
C, before putting the pump back into service.
LUBRICATION
Seal Assembly
(Figure 4)
Before starting the pump, remove the vented plug
(9) and fill the seal cavity with approximately 64
ounces (1,9 liter) of SAE No. 30 non‐detergent oil to
the middle of the sight gauge (24)
and maintain it at
the middle of the gauge. Clean and reinstall the
vented plug. Maintain the oil at this level.
Bearings
(Figure 4)
The bearing housing was fully lubricated when
shipped from the factory. Check the oil level regu
larly through the sight gauge (24)
and maintain it at
the middle of the gauge. When lubrication is re
quired, add SAE No. 30 non‐detergent
oil through
the hole for the air vent (11).
Do not
over‐lubricate.
Over‐lubrication can cause the bearings to over‐
heat, resulting in premature bearing failure.
Under normal conditions, drain the bearing hous
ing once each year and refill with approximately 21
ounces (0,6 liter) clean oil. Change the oil more fre
quently if the pump is operated continuously or in
stalled in an environment with rapid temperature
change.
Monitor the condition of the bearing lubri
cant regularly for evidence of rust or mois
ture condensation. This is especially im
portant in areas where variable hot and
cold temperatures are common.
For cold weather operation, consult the factory or a
lubricant supplier for the recommended grade of
oil.
