Mechanical Seal
The mechanical seal was adjusted at the factory. If the seal leaks slightly when pump is first started, a
few hours run-in will allow seal to adjust itself. Never run seal dry. Make sure cooling flow lines, if any,
are operating properly.
5.18 Final Alignment
WARNING:
•
Misalignment can cause decreased performance, equipment damage, and even cata-
strophic failure of frame-mounted units leading to serious injury. Proper alignment is the
responsibility of the installer and the user of the unit. Check the alignment of all drive
components prior to operating the unit.
•
Follow the coupling installation and operation procedures from the coupling manu-
facturer.
•
Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power may result in serious physical injury or
death. Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any installa-
tion or maintenance tasks.
•
Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all
international, national, state, and local rules.
•
Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals
(IOM) for specific instructions and recommendations.
1.
Final adjustment can only be accomplished after the unit has been run under actual operating con-
ditions for a sufficient length of time to bring the unit up to operating temperature.
2.
After this warm-up period has elapsed, stop the unit and immediately disconnect the coupling and
check the alignment.
a) On "Back-Pull Out" end suction units, the frame foot should be loosened to relieve any strain
due to thermal expansion.
b) On units which have jacking bolts on the foot, loosen the hold-down bolts.
c)
On units which have a slotted hole on the foot near the bearing frame, loosen the foot-to-bear-
ing frame bolt.
3.
Make sure motor switch is "locked out" to prevent accidental rotation. After a minute or two, retight-
en foot bolts.
4.
Repeat each alignment procedure outlined in
4.5.1 General Alignment Procedures on page 19
5.
Reconnect coupling.
6.
Check final alignment after approximately one week of operation.
5.19 Doweling
Some units do not require doweling since lock washers are furnished which hold the pump and driver
feet securely in place. On other units, the pump and driver feet should be doweled after installation is
completed, and the unit is in correct final alignment. Taper dowel pins, included in the box of fittings, are
furnished for these units.
NOTICE:
On all multi-stage units, dowel pins (if supplied) should be used on the coupling end of pump
only. Do not dowel feet on outboard end of pump.
