7.2 Mechanical seals
Before opening the pump, it is essential that you
note chapter 2 and chapter 8.
If the liquid being handled leaks out at the mechanical
seal, it is damaged and must be replaced.
Replacement of the mech. seal according to
accompanying "Mounting Instructions for Shaft
sealing".
7.3 Stuffing boxes
Stuffing boxes require constant maintenance, see
chapter 6.2 section "Stuffing box". If the leakage rate
can no longer be set correctly, the packing is worn out
and must be replaced in good time (increased wear on
shaft sleeve). Replacement of stuffing boxes acc. to
attached "Mounting Instructions for Shaft Sealing".
Because of the risk of accidents, addition of
packing to pumps during operation or at
operating pressure or temperature is strictly
forbidden!

drain "AS" with drain plug and flush with fresh oil.
Clean oil drain plug and close oil drain again.
Fill in new oil according to chapter 6.5.
If the pump is left idle for a longer time, the oil
should be changed after two years.
Old oil must be disposed of in accordance with
the valid national environmental regulations.

Grease lubricated bearings with the possibility of
re-greasing must be re-lubricated all 4000
operating hours, but at least 1x year. Clean
lubricating nipples (SN) first.

If the pump is left non-operational for a longer
time, the grease in the bearings should be
changed after 2 years.
7.5 Coupling
Check the clearance in the coupling components
regularly approx. every 1000 operating hours, but at
least 1x year, the radial clearance in the coupling parts
must be checked.
For couplings with rubber pads the following applies:
Unless a clearance in the couplings is necessary, the
coupling pads may wear out to approximately ¼ of
their usual thickness, before they have to be changed.
For the measurement of the clearance in the coupling
place a mark on the O.D. of each coupling hub (see
following pic). Then fix one hub, turn the opposite hub
as far as possible. Then measure the distance (
∆
S
V
)
between the marks of the coupling. If this measure
exceeds the value given in the chart, the packing must
be replaced. It must be replaced in sets.

If wear is heavy, it must be assumed that the
motor is not properly aligned with the pump or
that the distance between the coupling sections
has changed. Replace worn elements and re-
install or adjust coupling, as described in
chapter 5.3.
