INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. RECEIPT INSPECTION
Prior to shipment Vaughan pumps are
carefully crated and inspected to ensure
arrival at your site in good condition. On
receiving your pump, examine it carefully to
assure that no damaged or broken parts
have resulted from shipping or handling.
Look for signs that the pump has been
dropped, such as damaged crating, missing
paint, dented-in flanges, cracked housings,
or leaking oil. Turn the pump shaft by hand
and verify that it turns over smoothly. If the
shaft binds, look for debris or paint between
impeller and suction cone. Otherwise, shaft
binding could indicate damage. If damage
has occurred, report to your carrier
immediately, and consult your local Vaughan
representative or call Vaughan Co. for
advice. Be sure to remove the flange cover
at time of installation.
B. STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
If equipment is to be stored for longer than
two weeks, take the following action:
1. Coat exposed steel with a light layer of
grease or Cosmoline to protect the
equipment from corrosion.
2. Rotate the motor 1/4 turn once each
month to keep the bearings from sitting
in one position for extended periods of
time.
3. Avoid storing rotating equipment near
other vibrating equipment. The
vibrations can damage the ball bearings
and result in premature failure once the
equipment is started up.
4. Store rotating equipment in a clean, dry,
heated area away from areas where it
could be damaged from impact, smoke,
dirt, vibration, corrosive fumes or liquids,
or from condensation inside the motor or
pump. It may be helpful to cover
equipment with plastic.
5. The pump column and bearing housing
are assembled as an oil-filled assembly
so that the seal and lower bearings are
covered in oil. To avoid bearing
corrosion these housings should be kept
filled with ISO Grade 46 hydraulic oil to
normal levels. (Note that the top bearing
is grease lubricated. An air gap should
be left below the top two bearings. Do
not over fill.)
C. PUMP MOUNTING
The Vaughan wet-well pump is heavy and
will require a crane to lift it into position over
your pit. Lifting the pump by the lifting eyes
on the deck plate is the only recommended
method for lifting. If the pump is long, it's
advisable to support the center of the pump
column during lifting to avoid bending any of
the stem sections.
Do not lift by the motor
lift eye.
When locating the pump in the pit, position
the pump so that the lower pump casing (or
volute) is located at least 12" away from the
nearest vertical wall in the pit. Pump length
should have been chosen so that the pump
inlet is located about 12" above the pit floor.
Smaller 3" and 4" pumps may be located no
closer than 6" from the floor as a minimum.
Mounting the pump intake too close to the pit
floor can cause vibrations and keep material
from getting into the pump.
The pump deck plate should be bolted or
clamped to the upper deck or floor to
minimize operational vibrations. Vaughan
Co. typically recommends ½" expansion-
type anchors for use in concrete for pumps
3-6" discharge size, ¾" anchors for 8-12"
size pumps.
The exact details of your pump, (i.e., parts
breakdown, outline dimensions, and weight)
are available from Vaughan Co. The
illustration on the next page shows a typical
wet-well pump installation.
