Startup and Break-In Procedure:
Each new pump must undergo a brief but thorough startup and break-in procedure in order to verify the field
worthiness of the unitized pumping system and in order to allow a gradual “wearing in” of various mating parts
in the pump itself. The following guidelines have been established by Weir Oil & Gas to minimize startup
problems and ensure maximum service from the plunger pump:
A.
Inspection Prior to Starting Engine:
1. Check to see that all masking tape, rust preventative, etc. has been removed from moving parts
such as pony rods, plungers, pinion shaft, rotating union shafts.
2. Check to see that the plunger pump is securely bolted to the skid or truck frame.
3. Check to see that the driveline is securely fastened to the plunger pump’s input shaft and that
adequate slip is present in the driveline’s slip joint.
4. Check to see that the power end lube oil reservoir has been flushed and drained then filled with
the proper type of gear oil.
5. Check to see that the plunger lube oil reservoir has been flushed and drained then filled with the
proper type of rock drill oil.
6. Check to see that the supercharge piping system has been completely flushed and all piping
connections are tight.
7. Check to see that the power end lube system startup adjustments and plunger lube system
startup adjustments have been performed.
8. Check to see that the suction pulsation dampener has been charged properly.
9. Check to see that the primary suction piping is connected to an adequate supply of cool clean
water for testing. Check to see that all connections are tight and supply valves open.
10. Check to see that the plunger pump’s discharge piping is safely installed all the way back to the
water reservoir. Check to see that all connections are tight and all valves are open.
11. Follow the engine manufacturer’s recommendations for engine startup and warm-up.
B.
Warm-up Procedure Prior to Rotating the Plunger Pump:
1. While operating the engine at idle and transmission in neutral, check the power end lube pump
vacuum reading, the power end lube oil pressure, and the power end lube oil temperature. If the
lube pump vacuum reading is less than 10” Hg, gradually increase the engine RPM to determine
whether full engine RPM can be reached without exceeding 10” Hg at the power end lube pump
suction inlet.
2. Continue running the engine at or below 10” Hg lube pump vacuum as necessary to warm and
thin the power end lube oil. The plunger pump should not be rotated until full engine RPM can be
achieved without exceeding 10” Hg at the lube pump suction inlet or until the power end lube oil
temperature reaches 60F minimum.
