4.
Prime the pump.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the pump is properly primed. If it is not, then shut down the pump and correct
the condition.
5.
Start the pump driver.
Turbines and engines can require a brief warm-up period. Consult the instructions provided by the
engine manufacturer.
6.
When the pump is operating at full speed, make sure that the check valve has opened.
The check valve must open five seconds or less after startup in order to prevent damage to the
pump by operating at zero flow.
7.
Adjust the liquid seal valves to produce the recommended pressure for either the mechanical seal
or the packed stuffing box.
5.17 Inspect the packed box after startup
Newly installed packing requires time to run in. During this period, frequent attention and careful adjust-
ments are necessary. Use the following instructions to adjust the stuffing box gland while the pump is
running at rated speed.
1.
Draw the gland nuts up evenly and only 1/6 of a turn at a time.
Allow sufficient time between adjustments for the packing to adjust itself and for you to observe the
effect on leakage.
2.
If any sign of heating is evident, then shut down the pump and allow the box to cool.
Several starts may be necessary before the box runs cool. Do not back off the gland nuts on a hot
box because this can result in leakage between the outer edge of the packing and the stuffing box
bore.
5.18 Inspect the mechanical seal after startup
CAUTION:
Running a mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal failure and physical
injury. Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to the mechanical seal.
The mechanical seal is adjusted at the factory. If the seal leaks slightly when the pump is first started,
then allow a few hours of run-in for the seal to adjust itself.
5.19 Shut down the pump
WARNING:
Precautions must be taken to prevent physical injury. The pump may handle hazardous and/or
toxic fluids. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn. Pumpage must be handled
and disposed of in conformance with applicable environmental regulations.
1.
Slowly close the discharge valve.
2.
Shut down and lock out the driver to prevent accidental rotation.
