bearing housing end covers. Grease lubricated bearings are lubricated at the factory. Do not
grease at too frequent intervals. To grease bearings:
1.
Remove relief plugs on bearing end covers. See
Figure 32: Grease lubricated ball bear-
2.
Insert grease through fittings, while shaft is rotating, until grease appears through the re-
lief plug holes.
3.
Operate unit for approximately ½ hour with relief holes open to prevent over greasing. Af-
ter ½ hour, replace relief plugs.
6.2 Impeller clearance adjustment
There is no external impeller adjustment on the Model 3415.
6.3 Disassembly of pump
To prepare the pump for disassembly, proceed as follows:
(a) Shut off all valves controlling flow to and from pump.
(b) Drain liquid from pump. Casing drain plugs are located on bottom of casing.
(c) Disconnect all auxiliary tubing and piping.
(d) Disconnect coupling.
(e) If the unit is oil lubricated, remove oil drain plugs from bottom of bearing housings and drain oil. Re-
place plugs after draining.
(f) Remove glands from casing. If unit has packed stuffing boxes, unbolt and remove gland halves. If
equipped with mechanical seals, slide glands toward bearings. Protect lapped stationary seat faces from
damage.
The numbers located on the following figures refer to the procedural steps. For example, number 1 on
