Ensure no parts are missing or defective before assembly, wipe every part clean then start. 4.1 Starting
1). Tighten the bolts, screws and other fasteners to each relevant assembly parts. 1). Check that the direction of the motor rotation corresponds to the direction arrow on the pump
2). Lay O rings, gasket, felted wool or other sub-seals in each relevant assembly parts. casing before joint pump and motor together, Ensure that the pump is running freely without seizure
3). Place wearing ring and gasket into casing cover. or friction.

5). Depress stationary seal ring into mechanical seal cover, put seal cover, mechanical seal, shaft 4). Switch on power. Gradually turn up discharge valve after pump operation runs normally to achieve

7). Fix all the assembly parts where mentioned above into volute casing, tighten all the bolts and
screws for volute casing, casing cover and mechanical seal. 4.2 Checking
1). Check direction of pump rotation, which should be clockwise viewing from the drive side.
3. Installation 2). Check alignment of the couplings both of pump and motor before using. Over-tolerance will

4.4 Running and Maintenance
3.1 Outline Drawing AR 40/16 1). Reading by the meters are very important in starting and running. Care must be taken to heating,
leakage, vibration and noise. Abnormal cases should be handle immediately on discovery.
2). Bearings are not allowed to work at the temperature 40°C higher than the temperature around, and
the Max. temperature 80°C.
3). In normal cases, a steady drip from the gland should be in small amount, at abaout 60 drops per
minutes while almost non-leakage from mechanical seal.
4). Lubrication should be 4# Calcium Base Grease or SAE20W Oil. Pumps working at 2900 rpm
should be replenished with new oil or grease every period of 2500 working hours, 1450 rpm ones
should be replenished every 5000 working hours. Ball bearings should be dismantled and replaced by
the new ones every 10000 working hours, and also oil cup should be thoroughly cleaned out and filled
with fresh lubrication.
