User safety is a major focus in the design of our products. Following the precautions outlined in this
manual will minimize your risk of injury.
ITT Goulds pumps will provide safe, trouble-free service when properly installed, maintained, and
operated.
Safe installation, operation, and maintenance of ITT Goulds Pumps equipment are an essential end user
responsibility. This Pump Safety Manual identifies specific safety risks that must be considered at all
times during product life. Understanding and adhering to these safety warnings is mandatory to ensure
personnel, property, and/or the environment will not be harmed. Adherence to these warnings alone,
however, is not sufficient — it is anticipated that the end user will also comply with industry and corporate
safety standards. Identifying and eliminating unsafe installation, operating and maintenance practices is
the responsibility of all individuals involved in the installation, operation, and maintenance of industrial
equipment.
Please take the time to review and understand the safe installation, operation, and maintenance guidelines
outlined in this Pump Safety Manual and the Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) manual.

SAFETY WARNINGS
Specific to pumping equipment, significant risks bear reinforcement above and beyond normal safety precautions.
WARNING
A pump is a pressure vessel with rotating parts that can be hazard o us. An y press ure vessel can explode,
rupture, or discharge its contents if sufficiently ove r press u r i zed causi n g deat h, personal injury, property
damage, and/or damage to the environment. All necessary measures must be taken to ensure over
pressurization does not occur.
WARNING
Operation of any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge must be avoided in all cases.
Operation, even for a brief period under these conditions, can cause superheating of enclosed pumpage and
result in a violent explosion. All necessary measures must be taken by the end user to ensure this condition is
avoided.
WARNING
The pump may handle hazardous and/or toxic fluids. Care must be taken to identify the contents of the pump
and eliminate the possibility of exposure, particularly if hazardous and/or toxic. Potential hazards include, but
are not limited to, high temperature, flammable, acidic, caustic, explosive, and other risks.
WARNING
Pumping equipment Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance manuals clearly identify accepted methods for
disassembling pumping units. These methods must be adhered to. Specifically, applying heat to impellers
and/or impeller retaining devices to aid in their removal is strictly forbidden. Trapped liquid can rapidly
expand and result in a violent explosion and injury.
ITT Goulds Pumps will not accept responsibility for physical injury, damage, or delays caused by a failure to
observe the instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance contained in this Pump Safety Manual or the
current IOM available at www.gouldspumps.com/literature.

2.3 Safety Instructions for the Operator /
Worker
Depending on the operating conditions, wear and
tear, corrosion or age will limit the working life of
the pump/pump unit, and its specified characteristics. The operator must ensure that regular inspection and maintenance are carried out so that
all parts are replaced in good time, which would
otherwise endanger the safe operation of the system. If abnormal operation or any damage are observed, the pump must cease operation immediately.
If the breakdown or failure of any system or unit
could lead to people being hurt or property being
damaged, such system or unit must be provided
with alarm devices and/or spare modules, and
they should be tested regularly to ensure that they
function properly.
If there is any risk of injury from hot or cold ma-
chine parts, these parts must be protected against
contact by the user, or suitable warning signs
must be affixed.
Contact protection on moving parts (e.g. coupling
guards) must not be removed from systems that
are in operation.
If the sound level of a pump or pump unit is above
85 dB(A) an ear protection has to be used when
staying near the pump for some time.
If dangerous media (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot)
leak out (e.g. from shaft seals), these must be directed away so that there is no danger to people
or the environment. The provisions of the law
must be observed.
ICP 100-Englishpage 4
Article No 24264412
Measures should be taken to exclude any danger
from electricity (e.g. by complying with the local
regulations on electrical equipment). If work is
carried out on live electrical components, they
should be unplugged from the mains or the main
switch turned off and fuse unscrewed. A motor
protection switch is to be provided.
Model ICP
2.4 Safety Instructions for Maintenance,
Inspections and Mounting Work
The operator is responsible that any maintenance,
inspections and mounting work is made by authorized competent personnel, which must be informed by havingng read the Operating Instructions.
Basically, all work on the pump or pump unit
should only be carried out when the pump is stationary and not under pressure. All parts must be
allowed to return to ambient temperature. Make
sure that no-one can start the motor during such
work. It is essential that the procedure for stopping the system described in the Operating Instructions is observed. Pumps or pump systems
that carry media that are dangerous to health
must be decontaminated before being taken apart.
Safety Data Sheets for the various liquids handled.
Immediately after finishing work, all safety and
protective devices must be replaced or restarted.
2.5 Unauthorized Alteration and Spare
Parts Production
Alteration or changes of the machine are permitted
after agreement with the manufacturer.
Original spare parts and accessory authorized by the
manufacturer are serving the safety.
The use of other parts can lead to loss of liability for
therefrom resulting consequences.
2.6 Undue Operation
The operating safety of the delivered machine can
only be guaranteed by designated use acc. to the
following chapters of the Operating Instructions. The
limits stated in the data sheet and / or order confirmation must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
2.7 Explosion Protection
On application of units in areas endangered to explosion measures and references in the chapters 2.7.1 to
2.7.6 must be observed, so that explosion protection
is guaranteed.
2.7.1 Filling of unit
During operation of the pump the system of the
suction and pressure pipe and the pump itsel
must permanently be filled with the pumped
liquid. Thus, no explosive atmosphere can develop and the danger of dry-run is avoided.

r
If the operator can´t guarantee that, according
monitoring measures must be provided.
Equally all seal casings, auxiliary systems o
the shaft sealing, as well as heating and cooling
systems must be filled carefully.
2.7.2 Marking
The marking of the pump refers to the pump
itself. For coupling and motor resp. further additions a separate Declaration of Conformity, as
well as a corresponding marking must be available.
Example of of marking at pump:
CE Ex II 2 G c T... .
The marking shows the theoretically applicable range
of temperature classes. The different temperatures,
permitted acc. to pump design, result as shown in
chapter 2.7.5. The same is valid for the drive.
For a whole unit (pump, coupling, motor) with different
temperature classes the lowest is valid.
2.7.3 Rotation Control
Carry out rotation control with speparated coupling halves only! Refer to chapter 5.5 and 6.1
as well.
If danger of explosion is also existing during
installation, the rotation control must not be
carried out by short start-up of the empty pump,
to avoid undue temperature increase in case o
contact of rotating and stationary parts.
2.7.4 Operation of pump
The pump must only be started up with fully opened
suction side and slightly opened pressure side valve.
The start-up against closed non-return valve, however,
is possible. Immediately after the start-up the discharge side valve must be adjusted to the operating
point.
Refer to chapter 6.2, as well.
Operation with closed valve in suction and / or
discharge pipe is not permitted!
There´s a danger, that high surface temperatures are developing at the pump casing afte
relatively short time, through fast heating of the
liquid inside the pump.
Fast pressure increase inside the pump can
lead to overload and, thus, the pump can burst.
In chapter 6.4.1 the minimum flow is stated. Longer
operating phases with these flows and the named
liquids don´t cause additional increase of surface
temperature at the pump.
Furthermore the references in chapter 6 of these operating Instructions must be taken into consideration.
ICP 100-Englishpage 5
Article No 24264412
Model ICP
On pumps with mech. seals the permitted temperature limits can be exceeded due to dry-run.
Dry run not only can occur on insufficiently
filled seal casing, but also because of too much
gas in the medium.
Operation of the pump out of the permitted operating range can lead to dry-run, as well.
2.7.5 Temperature Limits
Under normal operating conditions the highest
temperatures must be expected at the surface
of the pump casing and in the area of the bearings.
The surface temperature occurring at pump casing
corresponds with the temperature of the pumped liquid.
If the pump is heated (e. g. heating jacket), care
must be taken, that the temperature classes,
prescribed for the plant are observed.
In the area of the bearing bracket free contact from
surface to surrounding must be given.
During operation of the pump it must be secured that an overabundant sedimentation o
dust is avoided (regular cleaning), to prevent
heating of pump surface over the permitted
temperature.
The operator of the plant must secure that the
defined operating temperature is observed. The
max. allowed temperature of the pumped liquid at
suction depends on the particular temperature
class.
The following table shows the theoretical temperature
limits of the pumped liquid in consideration of the
temperature classes acc. to EN 13463-1.
The particular allowed operating temperature of
the pump is shown in the data sheet and / o
the order confirmation resp. the type plate at
the pump.
In the area of the bearings the temperature class T4 is
guaranteed, provided that the ambient temperature is
40°C and the appliance is duly operated and maintained.
2.7.6 Maintenance
For a secure and reliable operation it must be
secured by regular inspections, that the unit is
maintained competently and is kept in good
technical condition.
Revision 00
Issue 05/2006
Page 15
Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instruction
Example: Function of bearings. Operation and application conditions are essentially responsible for their
achievable life cycle.
By regular control of the lubricant and the running
sound the danger of occurring over temperatures by
bearings running hot or defect bearing seals is
avoided. Refer to chapter 6.6 and 7.4.
The function of the shaft sealing must be secured by
regular control.
If auxiliary systems (e.g. external flushing, cooling,
heating) are installiert, it must be checked, if monitoring devices are necessary to secure the function.
2.7.7 Electric switches and control device, Instrumentation and accessories
Electric switches and control devices, instrumentation and accessories like e.g. flush tanks,
a.s.o., must correspond with the valid safety
requirements and regulations for explosion
protection.
2.8 Use acc. to Regulations
2.8.1 Speed, Pressure, Temperature
Suitable safety measures must be taken at the
plant to ensure that the speed, pressure and
temperature of the pump and the shaft sealing
do not exceed the limit values given in the data
sheet and / or order confirmation. The given
admission pressures (system pressures) must
also be sufficiently high.
Further, pressure shocks, as can occur on too fast
shut down of the facility, must be kept away from the
pump (e.g. by non-return valve at pressure side, fly
wheel, airtanks). Quick temperature changes must be
avoided. They could cause a temperature shock and
lead to damage or impair the function of single components.
2.8.2 Permitted Nozzle Loads and Torques
Model ICP
Basically the suction and discharge piping must
be designed in such way, that as little forces as
possible are effective to the pump. If that is not
possible, the values shown in chapter 3.5 must
not be exceeded under any circumstances.
This is valid for the operation as well as for the
standstill of the pump and therefore for all possible pressures and temperatures of the unit.
2.8.3 NPSH
The pumped liquid must have a min. pressure
NPSH at the impeller inlet, so that cavitation
free work is secured resp. a "break off" of the
pump flow is prevented. This condition is fulfilled, when NPSH-value of the system
(NPSHA) lies above NPSH-value of the pump
(NPSHR) under all operating conditions.
Attentention must especially be piad to the NPSHvalue on pumping liquids near the vapour pressure. If
the NPSH-value of the pump remains under, this can
lead from damage of the material due to cavitation to
destruction by overheating.
The NPSH-value of the pump (NPSHR) is shown in
the curves of every pump type.
2.8.4 Sealing, Flushing, Cooling
Suitable provisions for the regulation and monitoring
of sealing, flushing or cooling are to be provided.
When handling dangerous liquids or if temperatures
are high, care should be taken to ensure that the
pump ceases operating if the sealing, flushing or cooling system fails.
Sealing, flushing and cooling systems must always be
operational before the pump is started up. They
should not be taken out of operation until the pump
has stopped, provided that the nature of the operation
allows this at all.
2.8.5 Back Flow
In systems where pumps are operating in closed circuits under pressure (gas cushions, steam pressure),
the pressure of the gas cushion must not be reduced
via the pump, since the back flow speed may be much
higher than the operating speed, which would destroy
the unit.

pumps with packings is forbidden!
Further details about packings and mech.
seals, as well as the therewith connected accidental dangers, you can find in chapter 6.6 and
in chapters 7.2 and 7.3.
3.3 Bearings
The pump shaft is guided by antifriction bearings. In
the data sheet and / or order confirmation you can see,
if your pump is designed for oil lubrication (standard
design) or grease lubrication (special design).
In areas endangered to explosion the use o
pumps with grease lubricated bearings is forbidden!
3.3.1 Used bearings
The size of the bearing bracket of your pump is shown
in the data sheet and / or order confirmation.
On temperatures of the pumped liquid over 160°C an
oil sump cooling is required.
For connection refer to list "Connections" in the annex.
For cooling use pure, non-aggressive water with a
maximum incomming temperature of 30°C.
Cooling water should be hand-warm at discharge.
The pressure in the cooling system must not ex-
ceed max. 6 bar.
Provide control devices for temperature and pres-

Take note of the general regulations on prevention of accidents.
The pump / pump unit must be secured against
tipping over and slipping until it has been fixed
in its final location.
Sling ropes must not be fixed to ends of shafts
or the ring loops of the motor.
Slipping out of the pump / pump unit of the
transport lifting device can cause damages to
persons and things.
5. Mounting / Installation
Model ICP
4.2 Storage / Conservation
Pumps or units, which are stored over a longer period
before start-up (max. 6 months), must be protected
from moisture, vibrations and dirt (e.g. by wrapping in
oil paper or plastic). Pumps must basically be stored
in a place where they are protected from the weather,
e.g. under dry cover. During this time, all suction and
discharge branches and all other intakes and outlets
must be closed with dummy flanges or plugs.
For longer periods of storage conservation measurements at machined surfaces and packing with moisture protection can be necessary!
5.1 Mounting of Pump / Unit
The pump and motor (= pump unit) must be provided
with a base frame made of steel or cast iron or a fabricated (welded) frame, where this does not exist already or if it is not included in the delivery. This base
frame must be placed on a foundation which can
withstand all loads that arise during operation (refer to
chapter 5.1.2).
When mounting the pump onto the base frame the
following must to be noticed:
The base frame must be solid, so that there won´t
occur any twists or vibrations during the operation.
The mounting surfaces of the pump feet and mo-
tor on the base frame must be flat (machining is
recommended). Bracing of the pump leads to
premature breakdown of the pump and to a loss
of warranty.
The drillings for the pump mounting must be in
such a way, that safe fastening is guaranteed.
Between pump and motor shaft an adequate
space must be left depending on the used coupling, refer to chapter 5.3.
5.1.1. Mounting the unit to a foundation
The place, where the pump is mounted must be prepared acc. to the dimensions of the dimensional drawings. The concrete foundations should have sufficient
firmness acc. to DIN 1045 or equal standard (min. BN
15), to ensure a secure, functional mounting.
The concrete foundation must have set, before the
unit is errected. Ist surface must be horizontal and
even.
Sufficient space must be provided for maintenance and repair work, especially for replacing
the drive motor or the complete pump unit. The
motor fan must be able to take in enough cool
air, and the intake grille must therefore be at
least 10 cm away from any wall, etc.
For the set of anchor bolts according recesses
must be provided. If that is not the case, concrete
expansion bolts resp. epoxy capsle anchor bolts
can be used.
ICP 100-Englishpage 9
Article No 24264412
When mounting the pump on the foundation it
must be adjusted at the discharge nozzle by
means of a spirit-level (at discharge nozzle). The
permitted deviation is 0,2 mm/m. After inserting
the foundation bolts they must be cast in the
foundation with concrete. After setting of the grout
the coupling alignment must be checked according chapter 5.3.1 and possible misalignments
must be corrected by adjusting foundation frame
in the area of the drive motor. The smoothness of
the base frame must be 0,2 mm/m before it is
filled up resp. fastened. For adjustment leveling
shims or leveling screws (optional, not delivered
standardwise) can be used. Levelling shims must
be inserted next to the foundation anchors and
must lie plainly. After that fasten foundation bolts
symmetrically but only slightly. Fill in base frame
with non shrinking grout.
Notice:
Avoid air bubbles (e.g. by vibrating).
Check that the grout has properly set and hard-
ened.
Take care for the after-treatment of the concrete
acc. to DIN 1045.
After setting, tighten the foundation anchor evenly and
firmly. Check alignment of coupling acc. to chapter
5.3.1 and re-adjust, if necessary. Further, check that
all screws between pump / motor and the base frame
fit snugly.
Although the original ICP-base frames are designed
solidly, the filling in of the adjusted base frame up to
the rim is recommended.
If vibrations are transmitted to the foundation from
adjoining components, it must be guarded through
adequate vibration damping paddings (vibrations
from outside can impair the bearing).
To prevent vibrations being transmitted to adjoin-
ing components, the foundation should be laid on
a suitable insulating base.
The size of these insulating pads will vary, depending on circumstances, and should therefore be determined by an experienced specialist.

5.2 Connection of Pipings to the Pump
The pump must not be used as fixed point fo
the piping. The permitted piping loads must not
be exceeded, refer to chapter 3.5.
5.2.1 Suction and discharge pipe
The pipes must be of a size and design that liquid
can flow freely into the pump and that the pump
functions without problems. Particular attention is
to be paid to ensuring that suction pipes are airtight and that the NPSH values are observed. Under suction lift condition lay the suction pipe in the
horizontal section towards the pump so that it is
slightly inclined upwards so that no air traps occur.
Under positive suction head condition install the
suction pipe work slightly declined towards the
pump. Do not install fittings or elbows right before
the suction nozzle.
If the suction supply is under vacuum and en-
trained gas may be present in the liquid, it is recommended that a vent line be considered upstream of the pump suction with return to the suction supply, above the max liquid level.
An additional flushed piping - discharge branch-
vent line - makes it easier to de-aerate the pump
before start-up (pic 3).
pic 3
When laying the pipes, make sure that the pump
is accessible for maintenance, installation and
disassembly.
Notice "Permitted Forces on Flanges" (chapter
3.5).
If expansion joints are used in the pipes, they
have to be supported in such a way that the pump
is not loaded unduely high because of the pressure in the pipes.
Before connecting up to pump: remove protective
coverings from suction and discharge branches.
Before starting up, the pipe system, fittings and
equipment must be cleaned to remove weld spatter, scale etc. Any pollutants are to be completely
removed from pump units that are directly or indirectly connected to drinking water systems before
being installed and taken into use.
To protect the shaft sealing (especially mechani-
cal seals) against foreign impurities, it is recom-
ICP 100-Englishpage 10

Model ICP
mended that a sieve, 800 micron, is installed in
the suction/intake pipe when the motor is being
started up.
If the pipe system is tested with the pump in-
stalled, do not exceed the maximum permitted
casing pressure of the pump and/or shaft sealing
(see data sheet).
When emptying the pipe after the pressure test,
make sure that the pump is treated properly (danger of rust and problems when starting up).
In the case of pumps with stuffing boxes, replace
packing after pressure test (packing may be overcompressed and thus no longer suitable for use).
5.2.2 Additional connections
Any required sealing, flushing or cooling pipe connections must be installed. Please consult the data sheet
to see which pipes, pressures and amounts are necessary. The position and size of connections to the
pump are given in the appendix, "Connections".
These connections are essential for the function!
It is recommended that a pipeline is installed to take
off any leakage from the shaft seal. For connection,
see appendix, "Connections".
5.3 Coupling
Make sure that nobody can start the motor during work on the coupling.
ccording to Accident Prevention Regulations,
the pump unit may only be operated when the
coupling guard is mounted.
On operation in zone 1 and 2 a coupling with
valid Atex-certification must be used.
The Operating Instructions of the manufacturer
must be followed.
5.3.1 Alignment of coupling
The alignment of the coupling must be carried
out with the utmost care and attention, so that
the unit will operate without failure. If you do not
pay attention to this hint you will lose your warranty!
Before starting installation, carefully clean shaft
ends and coupling components.
Before adjusting the coupling unfasten screws
(901.12) between bearing bracket (330) and casing foot (183) and only fasten again after the adjustment. Repeat measurement after fastening of
screws (901.12).
fter mounting onto the foundation and the
connection of the pipings the coupling must be
adjusted again, even, if the unit was delivered
completely mounted on the frame.

The unit is properly aligned, when a ruler, which is
laid axially over both coupling halves, has the
same distance to the particular shaft everywhere
on the circumference. Further, both coupling
halves must have the same distance to one another on every of the circumference. This must be
checked by means of a tracer, gauge or dial gage;
refer to pic. 4 and 5.
The permitted tolerances for your coupling is
shown in the operating instructions of the coupling.
For the exact characterization of your coupling refer to data sheet and / or order confirmation.

On selecting the motor size care has to be taken, that
the requirements acc. to ISO 5199 are fulfilled. Note
the Operating Instructions of the motor
manufacturer.
On application in zone 1 and 2 a motor with
valid Atex-certification must be used.
5.5 Electric Connection
6. Start-up, Operation, Shut down
Model ICP
Electrical connection work may only be carried
out by an authorised professional. The rules
and regulations valid for electrical technology,
especially those concerned with safety measures, must be observed. The regulations of the
national power supply companies operating in
that area must also be observed.
Before starting work, check that the information on the
motor name plate is the same as the local mains network. The power supply cable of the coupled drive
motor must be connected up in accordance with the
wiring diagram produced by the motor manufacturer.
A protective motor switch must be provided.
In areas endangered to explosion IEC 6007914 must additionally be noticed for the electric
installation.
Care must be taken that the base frame (2x
M10-thread available for earthing screws) is
earthed by means of corresponding measures.
The direction of rotation must only be checked
when the pump is full. Dry running will cause
damage to the pump.
5.6 Final Control
Check alignment of coupling acc. to chapter 5.3.1
again. It must be possible to turn the unit easily by
hand at the coupling.
The plant may only be started up by people
who are familiar with the local safety regulations and with these Operating Instructions
(especially with the safety regulations and
safety instructions given here).
6.1 Initial start-up
Before starting up the pump, check, if the following
points were controlled and carried out:
If pump is oil lubricated, first open oil drain (GD)
and drain off any liquid that may have collected
(e.g. condensation). Close oil drain (GD) and fill
oil as described in chapter 6.5.1.
For pumps with grease lubrication, no further lu-
brication is needed before initial start-up.
Pump and suction pipe must be filled completely
with liquid when starting up.
Turn pump unit once again by hand and check
that it moves smoothly and evenly.
Check that coupling guard is installed and that all
safety devices are operational.
Switch on any sealing, flushing or cooling devices
that are provided. See data sheet for quantity and
pressure.
Open valve in suction /intake pipe.
Set discharge side valve to approx. 25% of rated
flow quantity. With pumps with a discharge branch
rated width less than 200, the valve can remain
closed when starting up.
Secure, that unit is electrically connected acc. to
all regulations and with all safety devices.
Check direction of rotation by switching on and off
briefly. It must be the same as the directional arrow on the bearing frame.
6.2 Switch on drive
Immediately (max. 10 seconds on 50 Hz resp.
max. 7 seconds on 60 Hz currency feed) after
reaching normal operating speed open discharge
valve adjust the required operating point. The
pumping data shown at the type plate resp. in the
data sheet and / or the order confirmation must be
met. Every change is only permitted after talking
with the manufacturer!
Operation with closed valve in the suction and /
or discharge piping is not permitted.
On starting-up without back-pressure, the backpressure must be produced through throttling at
the discharge side. After reaching full backpressure open valve

In order that the shaft sealing can be monitored
and maintained unhindered, no protection cove
is provided in this area. Therefore special attention is required when pump is working (no long
hair, loose clothes, a.s.o.).
Packing:
Packings need leakage for troublefree function
(dropwise outlet of pumped medium). Adjust ample leakage in the beginning. Reduce that slowly
during the first operating hours by continuously
fastening of gland (see position "452" and
"920.31" in sectional drawing) when pump is running. Assume 30-100 drops / minute as approx.
value.
Dry running packings harden and destroy the
shaft sealing resp. the shaft.
If pump does not reach attended head or i
atypical sounds or vibrations do occur:
Switch off pump (see chapter 6.7) and seek fo
causes (see chapter 10).
6.3 Restarting
Basically, the same procedure should be followed as
for starting up for the first time. However, there is no
need to check the direction of rotation and the accessibility of the pump unit.
The pump should only be automatically restarted if it
has been made sure that the pump has remained
filled whilst stand by.
Be particularly careful not to touch hot machine
parts and when working in the unprotected
shaft seal area. Remember that automatically
controlled systems may switch themselves on
suddenly at any time. Suitable warning signs
should be affixed.
6.4 Limits of Operation
The operating limits of the pump / unit regarding
pressure, temperature, performance and speed
are shown in the data sheet and / or order confirmation and must be observed under any circumstances!
Do not exceed the output given on the motor
name plate.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature (tempera-
ture shocks).
The pump and motor should run evenly and with-
out vibrations; check at least once a week.

6.5 Lubrication of Bearings
6.5.1 Oil lubrication
The bearing bracket must be filled up with oil.
For quality of oil refer to chapter 7.4.1.
For qantity of oil refer to chapter 7.4.1.
The pumps are delivered without oil filling!
Oil level sight glass (standard design)
Remove oil filling plug (637) and fill oil
into the connection opening (GF1).
Fill in oil up to the middle of the oil level
sight glass (642) (pic 7). Keep level exactly. Overfilling leads to increased bearing temperature and possibly oil leakage.
If oil level is too low this can cause shortcoming of lubrication.
Constant level oiler (special design)
Supplied loose.
Unscrew the reservoir from the main body (right
threaded) and set aside.
Seal the main body into the bearing bracket (330),
through a PTFE sealing tape, at connection for
constant level oiler (638). Tighten until threaded
boss is in vertical position (picture 8).
Remove the oil filling plug (637) (upper side of

6.5.2 Grease lubrication
For quality of grease refer to chapter 7.4.2.
For quantity of grease refer to chapter 7.4.2.
The bearings are already filled with lithium based
grease at the factory and are thus ready for use.
The grease provided is suitable for a temperature
range from -30° to +90°C (measured at surface of
bearing bracket).
Re-lubrication via the two grease nipples (636).
Bearing temperature (measured at bearing
bracket) should lie max. 50°C over ambient temperature and must not exceed 90°C, control
weekly at least. On grease lubrication the bearing
temperature can temporarily be higher by 5-10°C
after regreasing, till a possible surplus of grease
in the bearings is cut.
6.6 Monitoring
In areas endangered to explosion it is recommended to monitor the temperature of the bearings and the vibrations of the bearing bracket.
Regular monitoring and maintenance will extend the life of your pump or pump system.
Check oil level at least once a week and top up if
necessary.
Check pump for leaks at least once a week.
On packing, check quantity of leakage at least
once a week (see chapter 6.2 section "Packing").
Check the regulating and monitoring devices of
any sealing, flushing or cooling systems once a
week to ensure that they function properly. Outgoing cooling water should be handwarm.
With double mechanical seals, monitor pressure
and flow rate in mechanical seal area; check at
least once a week.
ICP 100-Englishpage 14
Article No 24264412
Model ICP
Pumps which are exposed to corrosive chemicals
or to wear through abrasion must be inspected
periodically for corrosion or wear and tear. The
first inspection should be carried out after six
months. All further inspection intervals should be
determined on the basis of the state of the pump.
6.7 Shutting down
Close the valve in discharge pipe right before
(max. 30 seconds) switching off the motor. This is
not necessary if there is a spring-loaded check
valve.
Switch off motor (make sure it runs down quietly).
Close the valve on suction side.
Close auxiliary systems. Do not shut down cooling
system until pump has cooled down.
If there is any risk of freezing, empty pump, cool-
ing areas and pipes completely.
If the pump also remains under operating condi-
tions (pressure and temperature) when stationary,leave all sealing, flushing and cooling systems
switched on.
The shaft sealing must remain sealed if there is a
risk of air being sucked in (in the event of supply
from vacuum systems or parallel operation with
shared suction pipe).
6.8 Storage / longer periods of nonoperation
6.8.1 Storage of new pumps
If the putting into operation shall happen a longer
period after the delivery, we recommend the following
measures for the storage of the pump:
Store pump at a dry place.
Rotate pump by hand at least once a month.
6.8.2 Measures for longer putting out of operation
Pump remains installed and in ready for operation:
Test runs of 5 min. duration must be made in
regular intervals. The span between the test runs
is depending on the plant. However, it should be
made once a week, at least.
6.8.3 Longer periods of non-operation
fter long stationary periods, packings may
have hardened; these must be replaced before
start-up.
When starting up, follow the instructions fo
starting up for the first time (see chapter 6)!
a) Filled pumps
Switch stand-by pumps on and immediately off
again once a week. Possibly use as main pump.
If the stand-by pump is at operating pressure and
temperature, leave all sealing, flushing and cooling systems switched on.
Replace oil or grease after 2 years.
Stuffing box must be adjusted to maintain lubrica-
tion of the packing (e.g. do not over tighten).

7.1 General remarks
Work should only be carried out on the pump o
pump unit when it is not in operation. You must
observe chapter 2.
Maintenance and servicing work must only be
carried out by trained, experienced staff who
are familiar with the contents of these Operating Instructions, or by the Manufacturer's own
service staff.
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!

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.
To measure the clearance in the coupling place a
mark on the O.D. of each coupling hub (see following
pic). Then fixing one hub, turn the opposite hub as far
as possible. Then measure the distance (∆S
tween the marks of the coupling. If this measure exceeds the value given in the chart, the packings must
be replaced. They must be replaced in sets.

that the distance between the coupling sections
has changed. Replace worn elements and reinstall or adjust coupling, as described in chapter 5.3.
7.6 Cleaning of pump
The pump must not be cleaned with pressurised water - water will get into the bearings.
Dirt on the outside of the pump has an adverse
effect on transmission of heat. The pump should
therefore be cleaned with water at regular intervals (depending on the degree of dirt).
Radial-Shaft sealings (421.41 and 421.51) are not
completely free from leakage. Impurities could
cause leakage at the shaft sealing area of the
frame. Therefore wipe off impurities with a rag
from time to time.
Replace dirty oil level sight glass (642).
8. Dismantling and repair of pump
8.1 General remarks
Repair to the pump or pump system may only
be carried out by authorised skilled personnel
or by the manufacturer´s specialist staff.
When disassembling the pump pay attention to
chapter 2 and chapter 4.1.
For mounting and repair you can order specialized
personnel if you want.
If dangerous liquids are pumped the appropriate disposal of the handled liquid is necessary
before the disassembly of the pump. Pay attention to the fact, that even in drained pumps
there are remainders of the handled liquid. I
necessary the pump must be flushed or decontaminated. Laws must be observed, otherwise
danger to health is existing!
Before the disassembly the pump has to be se-
cured in such a way, that it can´t be started.
The pump casing must be drained and without
pressure.
All locking devices in the suction- and discharge-
pipe must be closed.
All parts must have taken on the temperature of
the environment.
Secure disassembled pumps, units or single
parts against tipping over or rolling off.
While disassembling the pump use of an open
flame (blowlamp, etc.) only, when there is no
danger of setting fire, cause an explosion o
cause injurious vapours.
Never apply heat to remove the impeller nut.
Use of heat may result in severe physical injury
and property damage.
Use original spare parts only. Pay attention to
the right materials and the matching design.
8.2 General
Works, which require shocks (hammer), must
only be performed outside the explosive atmosphere or only non-sparking tools must be
used.
Carry out disassembly and mounting according to the
appropriate sectional drawing.
You will only need common tools.
Before disassembly check if required parts are ready.
Disassemble the pump only so far, as required for the
replacement of the repair part.
8.3 Disassembly of Back Pull Out Assembly
The Back Pull Out Assembly includes all parts of the
pump except the volute casing (102V). As the pumps
are constructed for process design the volute casing
(102V) can stay on the base frame and in the pipes,
unless the volute casing itself must be repaired.
Drain volute casing (102V) through the drain plug
(912.11).

8.4 Removal of Impeller
Note attached "Mounting Instruction for Shaft
Sealing".
If the impeller has back vanes check the axial
clearance "a" between the impeller (230) and casing cover (161) before you continue the dismounting. Refer to sect. 8.7.1.
Loosen impeller nut (922) (right threaded) by fix-
ing the rotor at the coupling end.
Draw off the impeller (230) with two screw drivers
or pry bars (picture 10). Remove key (940.31).
pic 10
Be sure to locate pry bars under impeller vanes
to prevent damage to the impeller.
For further dismounting the Back Pull Out Assem-
bly should be placed in the vertical position (with
vertical shaft, see picture 11). Attention: Precautions should be taken to prevent the Back Pull Out
Assembly from tipping!

(320.51 and 320.52) and bearing nut (923.51)
from the bearing bracket (330).
Remove the bearing nut (923.51). The bearing nut
is right hand threaded and self locking. It can be
reused 5 times if it is handled appropriately.
Remove the anti-friction bearing (320.51 and
320.52) from the shaft (210) using a hydraulic
press or a bearing puller.
8.7 Reconditioning
After disassembly all parts must be cleaned and
checked for wear carefully. Worn or damaged parts
must be replaced by new parts (spare parts).
When reassembling the pump it is recommended to
replace all seals.
All PTFE-sealing elements and graphite sealings are intended for being used only once.
In most cases it make sense, if damaged absolutely
necessary, to renew the mechanical seal and the
bearings.
Deposits on the impeller (230), in the volute casing
(102V) or on the casing cover must be removed.

When the wear limits has been reached or exceeded, the worn parts must be replaced.
For volute casings (102V) with a wear ring (502.11)
and cover casings (161) with a wear ring (502.31)
there are the following possibilities to restore the correct clearance:
a) Renew impeller (230) and wear ring. Then the
original measures are restored.
b) A customized wear ring (bored to fit) can be sup-
plied to avoid replacement of the impeller. Please
contact factory for details.
When volute casing (102V) or casing cover (161)
without wear ring must be repaired, a wear ring can
be installed to renew pump performance. Remachining of the volute casing and /or casing cover is required. Please contact the factory for details and assistance.
8.8 Mounting
Re-assemble the pumps using the reverse order of
steps as completed for pump disassembly. However
the following observations should be considered:
Pay attention to the utmost cleanliness when re-
assembling the pump.
For tight tolerances, e.g. between shaft sleeve
(433) and shaft (210) or impeller (230) and shaft
(210), as well as thread, use a suitable anti-galling
compound (e.g. Molykote/Never-Seeze), so that
the assembly and the next disassembly will be
easier.
Anti-galling compound must be compatible with
the pumpage.

Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instruction
push in the circlip (932.51) between the two bearings.
Before mounting new bearings, warm them up to
80°C in an oil bath or using a bearing heater. If
necessary use a tube to force the inner ring onto
the shaft by gentle taps with a hammer. Hold the
outer ring to avoid vibrations of the balls.
When bolting together the bearing bracket (330)
with the bearing bracket lantern (344) and the
bearing bracket lantern with the volute casing
(102V), screws should be positioned in the centre
of the drilled holes. Failure to do so could result in
improper oil setting.
Push the flinger (507) onto the shaft (210) till it
rests axially against the shoulder of the shaft. Between flinger (507) and Bearing bracket lantern
(344) there must remain a clearance of at least
0,7 mm.
If necessary you can use a driver for mounting
(see picture 14).

Do not use excessive force.
For mounting of the shaft sealing (packing or me-
chanical sealing) see separate description
"Mounting Instruction of Shaft Sealing" and chapter 8.5.
For impellers with back vanes the axial clearance
between the back vanes and the casing cover
(161) should be checked after mounting the impeller (230) and tightening the impeller nut (922)
(see chapter 8.7.1).
After the mounting of the back pull out assembly,
and its assembly into the volute casing, turn the
shaft and control the free moving of the pump in
this way. The shaft sealings will cause slightly resistance when turning, but there must not be any
contact between metal parts.
Before starting the pump check alignment of the
coupling. This can be dropped on pumps with
spacer coupling, if pump casing and motor were
not disassembled.
Before starting the pump do not forget to fill in
oil!

Spare Parts Order
When ordering spare parts, please supply the following information:
All the information is given in the data sheet and the
relevant sectional drawing.
Before starting the pump do not forget to install
and connect all security devices.
To ensure optimum availability, we recommend
that suitable quantities of spare parts are held
in stock, especially if these are made from special materials and in the case of mechanical
seals, because of the longer delivery times.
Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instruction
9.2 Stand-by pumps
It is essential that a sufficient number of standby pumps are kept ready for use in plants
where failure of a pump could endanger human
life or cause damage to property or high costs.
Regular checks should be carried out to ensure
that such pumps are always ready for use (see
chapter 6.8).
10. Faults - Causes and Solutions
The following notes on causes of faults and how to
repair them are intended as an aid to recognising the
problem. The manufacturer's Customer Service Department is available to help repair faults that the operator cannot or does not want to repair. If the operator repairs or changes the pump, the design data on
the Data Sheet and chapter 2 of these Operating Instructions should be particularly taken into account. If
necessary, the written agreement of the manufacturer
must be obtained.
