operating fluid is extant to avoid dry running.
Take this into consideration especially with high output volumes.
●
Check all fastening screws on the device.

Fill pump and the suction line with medium.
7.3
Adjustment of the gland packing
Gland packings are particularly vulnerable to high temperatures. Proper func-
tioning and cooling depends on a sufficient amount of leakage. The permis-
sible amount of leakage is defined by the axial compression of the installed
packing rings.
