NOTE
FMC pumps are shipped with no oil in the power frame and must be filled
to the proper level with the proper grade of non-detergent motor oil or
synthetic oil prior to start-up. Use Table 3 for selecting the correct type
of oil for your service.
Pump model M06 requires 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of oil
Pump model M09 requires 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of oil
3. Check to ensure that power is locked out and tagged out. Turn the pump over by
hand if possible to ensure free, unobstructed operation. Clean the plungers with a
soft cloth while rotating the pump by hand.
4. If the FMC pump is supplied with a factory mounted packing lubricator, ensure
that it is filled to the recommended level. Refer to Table 3 for the recommended
packing lubricant. Follow the vendor specifications for filling intervals and proper
maintenance. The recommended lubrication rates are specified in Table 2. Hand
operate each lubricator pump to provide initial lubrication to packing. It may be
necessary to bleed the lubrication lines from the lubricator to the stuffing boxes.
5. Check the plunger rods to ensure that they are free from abrasive particles or
debris.
6. Ensure that the pressure relief valve and all accessory equipment have been
installed and properly adjusted. Verify that all joints are pressure tight.
7. Open the suction line valve to allow fluid to enter pump. Prime the fluid cylinder if
necessary on the initial start up or after the system piping has been drained. The
valve covers may have to be cracked open to assist with priming.
.
CAUTION
Do not loosen the valve covers with volatile or hazardous fluids.
8. Apply approximately 5-10 drops of glycerin or mineral oil to each plunger and
plunger rod to lubricate the packing and seals.
