CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE:
PUMP TROUBLE
When investigating trouble with Kirloskar pumps, always remember that
pumps have been tested at the factory and are mechanically correct when
sent out. Discounting the possibility of damage during transit, most of the
trouble in the field is due to faulty installation. Investigation shows that the
majority of troubles with centrifugal pumps result from faulty conditions on
the suction side.
BREAK DOWN-CAUSE-CHECK POINTS
In case of breakdown we recommend the location of the fault by referring
