General Information

The manual contains important information for reliable,proper and efficient operation.
Compliance with the operating instructions is of vital importance to ensure reliability and a long
service life of the punp and to avoid any risks.
The pump/unit must not be operated beyond the limit values specifiecl in the technical
doumentation. Make sure that operation is in accordance with the instructions laid down this
manual.
These operating instructions do not take into account local regulations;the operator must ensure
that such regulations are strictly observed by all,including the personnel called in for installation.
Note: please quote this information in all queried, reorder and particularly when ordering spare
parts.
1. Lifting
Be carefully when lifting pump, motor or the entire unit. The hoisting ring of the motor is only for
lifting motor not for entire pump unit; the hoisting ring of casing cover only for lifting casing
cover also.
Installation at site

1. Foundation
1 The foundation should be firm and the surface should be smooth before mounting. They
should be sufficiently to support 1.5 times weight of unit including motor. Gererally,reinforced
concrete is used for foundation.
2 Before the first time grouting, locate anchor bolts per outline drawing and the first time
grouting check surface should locate under unit base plate 20mm-40mm to insure the second
grouting.

2. Installation the pump/Unit

Insert anchor bolt in screw hole of base plate, settle
pump or unit on foundation, use leveling
instrument to align at end of shaft and discharge.
Place shims between base plate and foundation
adjacent to the anchor bolt. Add a shim at anchor
bolt if the distance of anchor bolts exceed
800mm. All the shims should level. As shown in
right diagram
Grouting anchor bolt after alignment, tighten bolt evenly when concrete firmed and realign, then
grouting base plate. The thickness of grout should submerge base plate more than 25mm.
Note: Make sure grouting adequately and without cavity no matter the first or the second grouting,
grouting should be continuously without pause. The qualities of grouting affect directly unit
operation noisy and vibration, which are very hard to found and exclude.

3. Aligning the pump and motor

Insure pump and motor align precisely at
coupling. Improper alignment of the unit
can cause damage to both the coupling
and the unit itself!

Method: It is considered the unit alignment well if parallel misalignment and angular
misalignment at coupling less than 0.01mm. Check misalignment with a feeler gauge at coupling
four points 90apart, indicator reading at all points should not exceed 0.01mm.

4. Connecting the piping

1Do not use pump as an anchorage point for the piping. The pipelines should be anchored in
close proximity to the pump and showld be anchored without transmitting any stresses or
strains,otherwise it will cause pump vibration even piping breaking.
2Suction lift lines should be laid with a rising slope towards the pump and suction head lines
with a downward slope towards the pump.
3As for short piping, nominal diameter not less than pump suction nominal diameter. As for
long piping, the most economic nominal diameter has to be determined otherwise it will cause
cavitations.
4When use elbows, the lenght of pump inlet and outlet at straight section should larger than
diameter 5 to 10 times.
5Thermal stress deformation caused by welding exterior pipe flange is the most common
causes of pump inlet and outlet piping breaking. Loose the bolt that connect the pump after
welding, tighten until welding stress released.
6 Should fasten expansion joint after install pump, otherwise hydrostatic tension will lead to
pump vibration, more seriously will drag the pump foundation, lead to serious accident.
7 The valid surface of strainer that is installed in the suction line should larger than area of
section of pipe.
8 Discharge piping should be installed with check valve and gate valve, with the check valve
being between the pump and the gate valve. The check valve prevents pump damage from reverse
flow and water hammer.
9 Auxiliary Piping Connection
Mechanical seal should be flushed by clean liquid from an external source.
Note: This is the main reason of mechanical seal damage and failure. The parts with cool liquid
nozzle should be cool properly.
Above cooling liquid and exterior rinse liquid provided in accordance with attached specification.
Follow below instruction if without special version:
The pressure of mechanical seal rinse liquid should higher than the suction pressure 0.1-0.2 MPa,
capacity is 1-2m3/h. cooling liquid pressure is 0.3MPa, capacity is 1-2m3/h.

5. Coupling Guard
Safety requirement: Only by installing guard the pump can operation.
6. Final Inspection
1 Check if the pump and motor are reliable: Slide coupling, rotate pump rotor over a circle,
rotation should be evenly, without friction and evident mechanical noisy.
2 Confirm the direction of motor and pump is the same.
Note: Do not try to check the motor direction after connected to pump. Even short reverse may
lead to the parts damage in the future operation.

StartingOperationShutdown and Storage Preservation

Be sure to follow the below instructions to avoid of breakdown by infringing rules and
regulations.

1. Inspection before starting

Be sure to check the followings:
1 Insure pump plate fixed on foundation
2 Insure coupling and pump unit alignment
3 Insure piping connected by requirements
4 Insure motor installed by Installation and operation instruction
5 Insure the rotor of pump rotate easily at least a circle
6 Insure the coupling guard installed
7 Insure the operator fully understand the safety specification that they should obey and the
failures may be occurred
8 Insure the shaft seal liquid or cooling liquid lead-in by requirements
9 Insure the shaft seal installed by operation instruction
10 Insure the auxiliary device installed by operation instruction If they exist
11 Insure the bearing have lubricated well, especially insure new pump grease or thin oil do
not reduce or go bad
12 Insure the air trapped in pump escaped

2. Shaft Seal
Open valves properly for stuffing box seal

3. Air exhaust
Pump and piping should fill of medium before starting, there are two methods: creation of vacuum
or priming. If the pump operated on the suction state, exit gas by bolt hole on top of the pump
casing.
Note: When creation of vacuum, evacuate air by bolt hole on top of the pump casing. When
priming, open both side low pressure volute chamber of pump casing and the top plug, to get rid
of pump vibration by remained air in pump.

4. Starting
1Close outlet valve
2 Open inlet valve completely
3 Open all auxiliary piping cooling, heating, sealing, rinsing and lubricant liquid, and
check all capacity and pressure
4 Starting pump after finishing above procedures
5 When the system starting deliver medium and the pressure reading at pressure gauge rise
up, open outlet valve slowly
Note: Forbid pump operating without liquid! Only close outlet valve when the pump start and
shutdown, otherwise will damage the pump by overheating.

5. Operation
1 Confirm operating point
According to Q-H performance curve of pump,
capacity Q varies with the actual operation head. The
head depended on the system head including the
altitude difference between inlet and outlet, piping,
valves, radiator and so on. So the pump actually
operating point B depends on pump performance
curve Q-H and system performance curve Q-HA.
Once capacity settled, the shaft power, efficiency, NPSH settled as well. Pump has limited
working range. The minimum capacity are shown as Qmin in Q-H performance curve. Maximum
capacity are depended on the cross point of pump tolerance NPSH and system valid NPSHA.
Adjust valve can change performance curve Q-HA of system, thereby adjust operation
performance, makes pump operation stable and high efficiency.
2 Operation management
Should pay attention to followings:
a. Pump should work stably
b. Forbid pump operating without liquid
c. To prevent medium temperature rise up, pump can not be run long period when close outlet
valve
d. Generally, the bearing temperature not higher than 35 of ambient temperature, absolute
operation temperature less than 100.
e. Check oil level regularly if use thin oil. Deep groove ball bearing of grease lubrication no need
routine maintenance.
f. Do not close inlet valve if it is exist when pump operating.
g. Periodical inspection and start jury pump.
h. Check auxiliary piping whether connected well.
i. Check elastic element of coupling, if worn replace immediately.
j. For stuffing box seal there should have a slight drip when running, push stuffing box gland
gently until there is a slight drip about 15-30 drop/min .
For mechanical seal the seal leakage should reduce gradually. It is about 0-5drop/min after
starting few hours. If the seal leakage increase gradually and reach about 30-60drop/min, should
check or adjust mechanical seal.

6. Shutdown
Close discharge valve.
Insure the pump unit stop smoothly when shutdown the motor. Pump should have a proper
after-running period, cut heat source at this time, so that the delivered medium can cool down
completely and avoid of producing any heat inside pump.
Close suction valve if pump stop work for a long period of time.
Close auxiliary piping, the shaft seal should use seal lubricant even though at stopped state.
Evacuate all medium in pump and piping when freeze or stop work for a long-term, so as not to
frost crack.

7. Storage
Every pump has inspected strictly before delivery. Recommend to adopt following procedures to
store pump.
1 Store new pump
If store pump at indoor, clean dry place and follow the storage requirements, the longest storage
time is 12 months.
2 If equipment is to be stored for long periods of time should follow below procedures.
a. Pump should keep in installation state and inspect work condition regularly. Start pump once
every month or every three months about 5 minutes. Check running condition before starting
pump to insure there is enough liquid.
b. Dismantled pump from piping and check it according to section 5.1 to 5.4. Apply protective
agent on inside pump casing especially the gap of the impeller, apply on suction and discharge,
then cover the suction.
c. Operation after storage
Inspect and maintain completely before starting pump, especially shaft seal and bearing lubricant.
Reinstall all safety protection devices according to requirement before starting.

Maintenance and Repair

1. Maintenance
1 General Stipulations
Insure all the maintenance, inspection and installation carry out by a professional who is assigned,
qualified and very familiar with this operation manual.
The periodical maintenance plan can get rid of expensive maintenance cost, work failure and
make pump safety operation at very low maintenance cost.
All above should perform at power off, in case the pump start suddenly.
Sterilize after delivery liquid which harmful to health. Only evacuate medium completely there is
no harm for environment and human. The related rules must follow meanwhile.
2 Bearing Lubrication
Grease lubrication bearing be refilled grease every threes months. Replace grease at least two
years. We recommend molybdic sulfide lithium soap base grease as lubricant can use more
high-grade grease lubrication, such as composite lithium soap base grease etc. ; Bearing must
be dismantled when replace grease every time. Use gas or similar oil to clean bearing, bearing
house, bearing gland and wipe up. Fill 1/2-2/3 grease at ball bearing and cylindrical roller bearing,
normally use oil gun to fill oil through the nozzle on the top of bearing house.
Thin oil lubrication bearing the first time lubricant replacement must carry out after a month
operation, the second replacement at four months later, than replacement every six months, at
the same time check the quality and level of oil regularly, replace and refill in time. We
recommend N46 mechanical oil or 30# turbine oil as lubricant, oil level should be at the required
range of oil gauge.
Slide bearing use medium or outside water source as a lubricant. In order to make sure lubricant
piping unblocked and prevent bearing from blocking, must clean bearing after running 8000 hours
or less than two yours.
3 Shaft Seal Maintenance
Replace or install stuffing before starting, if shutdown for a long time or shaft seal stuffing leak a
lot. There is a little drip at stuffing box when running, push stuffing gently and evenly, otherwise
the shaft sleeve will heat and wear.
Mechanical seal: No need specially maintain for mechanical seal, check whether it heat every day.
If mechanical seal leakage evidently, should dismantle to check, and replace if necessary.
2. Repair
1 Repair Items
a. Minor Repair

measure: drill a row of small holes on shaft sleeve, the holes away at least 1mm from shaft surface,
cut along the holes by steel file, the shaft sleeve can be remove.

Assembly:
Assembly can be carried out in the reverse of the dismantle procedure.
1. Clean all matching surface, insure no rust or stickiness, and repair all roughness and
deformation caused by dismantle.
2. Replace all seal pad and o-ring.
Seal surface adopt seal gum or seal pad decided by pump design.
The edge of seal pad must be even with the inwall of pump passageway and the edge of
processing position.
The o-ring is easy cut when installation, thus lead to seal failure, so must choose proper size o-ring
and carefully assemble.
3. Clean bearing house and bearing carefully, insure no remnant lubricant and precipitate. Replace
required lubricant; the amount of adding thin oil in accordance with scale of oil gauge, too much
or so little will affect pump operation.
4. Replace packing.
Choose the amount and type of packing. Cut and install by following diagram.

5. Wipe up seal chamber and shaft sleeve. Check, if the surface of shaft sleeve rough or scored,
replace. Install packing to seal house in order and press gland. Cut packing along 120 degree
angle. Make sure the position of packing ring against outlet of water seal. Tighten gland evenly
until can not screw by hand.
6. Clean all matching surface, screw thread and clearance fit, apply mounting adhesive.
7. Bearing mounting required by heating. If mounting by hammer, make sure to hit the matching
position of bearing. Mounting cylindrical roller bearing, put inner ring of bearing on shaft or shaft
sleeve and outer ring on bearing house. Insure the end face of both rings at the same plane.
8. As for mechanical seal, coupling mounting required by heating to avoid damage mechanical
seal.
9. Tightening torque should meet related standards and preserve uniformity, if without other
illustration.
10. Reinstall impeller with vanes in the right direction, otherwise will cause very small water
discharge or very low discharge pressure.
11. Check the matching position of pump and bearing house after installation, to insure there is no
clearance.
12. Beware the difference of both bearing end cover, make sure the check end face of slave drive
bearing end cover contact with outer ring of bearing, and play the role of axial locating.
13. Insure center split seal pad clean and flat. Especially mounting mechanical seal, insure shaft
seal position and seal chamber position contact well with seal face of end cover, any clearance
may cause seal failure.
14. For some products, centering of impeller and passageway insured by design and manufacture,
but some can center by adjusting shaft sleeve nut, tighten shaft sleeve nut after adjusting.
Inspection
Rotate coupling by hand after mounting, the rotor should be smooth and even without evident
grating noisy.
