Introduction
This instruction manual is intended to assist those involved
with the installation, operation and maintenance of Eagle
Model A100 pumps. It is recommended that this manual be
thoroughly reviewed prior to installing or performing any work
on the pump or motor.
I-A. Importance of Instructions
The design, material and workmanship incorporated in the
construction of Eagle pumps make them capable of giving
long, trouble–free service. The life and satisfactory service of
any mechanical unit, however, is enhanced and extended by
periodic inspection and careful maintenance. This instruction
manual was prepared to assist operators in understanding the
construction and correct methods of installing, operating, and
maintaining these pumps.
Study thoroughly Sections I, II, III, and carefully follow the
instructions for installation and operation. Sections IV, V, VI,
VII, and VIII are answers to trouble and maintenance questions.
Keep this instruction manual handy for reference.
I-B. Special Warnings
Eagle Pump and Compressor will not be liable for any damages
or delay caused by failure to comply with the provisions of this
instruction manual. This pump is not to be operated at speeds,
working pressures, discharge pressures, or temperatures higher
than nor used with liquids other than originally intended for,
without written permission of Eagle Pump.
Instruction sheets on various components as well as the
Instruction Book for the pump are included in the shipment.
DO NOT DISCARD!
I-D. Preservation and Storage
Eagle’s normal domestic shipping and storage preparation is
suitable for protecting the pump during shipment in covered
trucks. It also provides protection during covered storage at the
jobsite, and for a short period between installation and start-up.
If the pump is to be idle and exposed to the elements for
an extended period, either before or after installation, special
precautions are required. One approach is to provide special
preservatives and wrapping before shipment. However, after
installation the protective wrappings will have been removed.
Therefore, application of preservatives after installation is
considered a good practice.
The driver, coupling, and mechanical seal manufacturers should
be contacted for their recommendations on preservation and
protection procedures.
I-E. Handling Techniques
Care should be used in moving pumps. Pumps should not be
hoisted by eyebolts. These eyebolts are intended for removing
the back pull–out assembly for maintenance and inspection. An
assembled pump should be hoisted using a sling under suction
flange and under rear of bearing frame. Bedplate mounted units
should be hoisted using slings under bedplate below both pump
and driver.
I-C. Receiving Inspection—Shortages
Care should be taken when unloading pumps. If shipment is
not delivered in good order and in accordance with the Bill–of–
Lading, note the damage or shortage on both receipt and freight
bill. MAKE ANY CLAIMS TO THE TRANSPORTATION
COMPANY PROMPTLY.
SECTION II—INSTALLATION
II-A. Location
Pumping unit should be placed as close as practical to the
source of supply. Floor space and headroom allotted to the unit
must be sufficient for inspection and maintenance. Be sure to
allow for crane or hoist service.
II-B. Foundations
1. Grouted—Bedplate mounted units are normally grouted–in
on a concrete foundation, which has been poured on a solid
footing. This allows a permanent, vibration–absorbing base for
the unit. The location and size of foundation bolts are shown
on the outline assembly drawings supplied for the unit. Fig. 1
illustrates a typical foundation bolt installation.
2. Flexibly Mounted—Installation and leveling of the optional
flexibly mounted bedplate should be carried out in accordance
with assembly drawings supplied in the data package for the
unit.
Figure 1

II-C. Leveling and Grouting of
Baseplate Initial Alignment Check
1. Put the unit in place on wedges located at four points as
shown in Fig. 2. Some long installations may require additional
wedges near center of bedplate.
WEDGES
Figure 2
2. Adjust wedges to level unit (approximately), placing unit
between ” and 1” above foundation. Level or plumb suction
and discharge flanges. Then, bring the coupling halves into
reasonable alignment by adjusting the wedges as needed.
3. Make sure that the baseplate is not distorted and that final
accurate coupling alignment can be established within the limits
of movement of motor and by shimming motor if necessary.
II-E. Alignment—Preliminary
Alignment of the pump and driver is of extreme importance
for trouble–free mechanical operation. Alignment should be
obtained by adding or removing shims from under the motor
feet. The pump bearing frame foot should never be adjusted
to obtain alignment. The proper shimming is installed under
the bearing frame foot at the factory on units shipped with
bedplates. Changing the pump casing or bearing frame in the
field will require a reshimming of the frame foot. The proper
number of shims is installed when the pump shaft is level and
parallel to the bedplate surface. Proper shimming is achieved
by loosening frame foot and tightening casing foot. This should
create a gap between the frame foot and bedplate between 0
and .040 inches (1mm). This must be filled with shims and
the frame foot retightened. If this procedure is not followed,
mechanical problems can result. The final alignment is done
after the unit has been run under actual operating conditions.
The following are suggested steps for aligning the unit, prior to
initial startup.
1. Parallel Alignment: The unit is in parallel misalignment
when the shaft axes are parallel, but not concentric. During
initial alignment, vertical parallel alignment may be different,
due to thermal expansion of the unit at actual operating
conditions. The following is a suggested cold setting for motor
driven units:
Pumpage
Temperature
Above Ambient Set Motor Shaft
Ambient .002–.004” low (.05–.10 mm)
100° F. .000–.002” high (.00–.05 mm)
200° F. .004–.006” high (.10–.15 mm)
300° F. .008–.010” high (.20–.25 mm)
400° F. .012–.014” high (.30–.35 mm)
500° F. .016–.018” high (.40–.45 mm)
4. Tighten foundation bolts finger tight. Build dam around
foundation and pour grout. Fill to level of grout hole making
sure that the areas under the pump and motor feet are filled
solid. Allow grout to harden at least 48 hours before further
tightening foundation bolts. Tighten pump hold down bolts.
II-D. Piping Practices
Guidelines for piping are given in the “Hydraulic Institute
Standards” and should be reviewed prior to pump installation.
All piping should be supported independently of, and line up
naturally with, the pump flanges. NEVER DRAW PIPING
INTO PLACE BY USE OF FORCE AT THE FLANGED
CONNECTIONS OF THE PUMP.
Both suction and discharge piping should be as short and direct
as possible to minimize friction losses. Foundation, pump and
driver hold–down bolts should be tightened prior to connecting
suction or discharge piping to the pump.
On units handling corrosives, the piping can be arranged to
allow flushing of the pump prior to opening of the unit for
servicing. After connecting suction and discharge piping to the
pump, rotate pump by hand to be sure that there is no binding.
2. To check the parallel alignment of “spider–insert” couplings,
place a straight edge across both hubs at four points, 90° apart
(see Fig. 3). To check the parallel alignment of flexible spacer
couplings, place a dial indicator on one hub and rotate that
hub 360° while taking readings on the outside diameter of the
other hub. Alignment occurs when indicator deflection does
not exceed .002” T.l.R. (see Fig. 4) of the recommended cold
setting in elevation and not more than .002” T.l.R. side to side.
To check angular alignment of a “spider–insert” coupling, use
calipers at 90° intervals on the circumference on the outer end
of hubs. When caliper measurements are identical, the unit is
in angular alignment. The correct gap between the hub and
insert will be given in the coupling manufacturer’s instructions
supplied for the pump.
To check angular alignment of flexible spacer couplings, place
a dial indicator on one shaft hub and rotate the hub 360°. Take
readings from the face of the other hub. Alignment is achieved
when deflection does not exceed .002” (see Fig. 5).

SECTION III—OPERATION
III-A. Startup
1. Check List
a. Lubrication—Pump bearings are normally oil lubricated.
(THE BEARINGS ARE NOT LUBRICATED AT THE
FACTORY.) These pumps are supplied with an oiler which
maintains a constant oil level in the bearing frame. Locate
oiler as shown on the outline drawings supplied for the
unit. See Fig. 6 for correct adjustment of oiler.
Figure 5
II-F. Stufng Box
1. Packing:
If the pumpage is dirty or hot, it is not suitable to lubricate the
packing. An external source must be utilized, unless the bypass
is equipped with proper separator, filter, and/or cooling system.
This must be piped into the lantern ring connection, also (refer
to packing recommendations).
2. Mechanical Seals:
When mechanical seals are supplied, they are installed and
adjusted at the factory. They must not run dry or in abrasives.
Connect recirculation, flush and/or cooling lines as required,
following instructions on the seal print supplied for the unit.
Figure 6
5
b. A high quality turbine type oil with rust and oxidation
inhibitors should be used. Under normal operating
conditions, an oil of 300 SSU viscosity at 100° F.
(approximately SAE 20) should be used. Fill oiler bottle
and replace in oiler housing. Repeat until oil remains
visible in bottle. Do not add oil through the vent or
breather. Optional grease lubricated bearings are lubricated
at the factory and need lubrication only after 2,000
hours of operation, or every 3 months, which ever occurs
first. On pumps supplied with greased–for–life bearings,
no additional lubrication is required for the life of the
bearing.
Oil Mist lubrication of bearings is available on A100–X
frames. This can be supplied at time of order, or field
conversion can be done. Refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer of the Oil Mist System.
c. Priming—Pump and suction piping must be full of liquid
before pump is started. Usually suction supply will be
primed when shutoff valves are opened, if pump is below
suction supply. If suction supply is below pump, priming
by other means, such as a foot valve or ejector, will be
required.
d. Free Rotation—Rotate shaft by hand to make sure it is
free. Drag from packing or seal is normal but, if pump
cannot be rotated by hand or binding or rubbing is noticed,
correct before starting pump.
2. Startup
a. Valves—Be sure suction valve is fully open. Normally,
discharge valve should be at least partially closed for flow
control.
b. Rotation Check—if not already done, uncouple the unit
and jog the motor to check for proper rotation (refer to
Section II–E–2, page 5).
III-B. Operation Checks
Inspect pump carefully and frequently during the first few hours
of operation. If packing runs hot, shut pump down, allow box
to cool, loosen gland if necessary. (Do not loosen gland until
packing has cooled.) Mechanical seal may weep slightly, but
should “run–in” in a few hours. Be sure all auxiliary lines
(cooling, flushing, sealing, etc.) are functioning properly. Check
pump bearings for excessive heating. Bearing housing operating
temperatures vary depending on a wide variety of conditions.
However, normal temperatures should be 120° to 180° F. (49° to
82° C). A change of temperature can indicate a problem, and
operating temperatures outside of the normal range should be
addressed with manufacturer. Check complete unit for excessive
vibration and unusual noises. Do not run pump at greatly
reduced flow because damage can result.
III-C. Shutdown Procedure
Back flow through pump will cause reverse rotation. If backflow
is excessive, and there is a possibility of the pump being turned
on during this period of reverse rotation, then precautions
should be taken to prevent the backflow. This can be done
by installing a check valve in the discharge line, or by closing
a discharge valve immediately prior to shutting down the
pump. NOTE: IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT THE
PUMP RUN LONGER THAN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
AGAINST A CLOSED DISCHARGE VALVE.
SECTION IV—PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
IV-A. Lubrication
Oil lubricated units require that oil be visible in the reservoir at
all times. Oil should be changed every 4000 hours of operation.
Grease lubricated units should be regressed every 2000 hours
or 3 month intervals, whichever occurs first. Use a sodium
or lithium grease and fill until grease comes out grease relief
fittings. Follow motor and coupling manufacturers’ lubrication
instructions.
IV-B. Stufng Box
1. Packing Stuffing Box:
Periodically inspect stuffing box to see that there is sufficient
leakage to lubricate the packing and maintain a cool box. Never
restrict the leakage from the packing as this will cause damage
to both packing and shaft sleeve. Draw up gland nuts slowly
and evenly and only while pump is running.
After pump has been in operation for some time and the packing
has been completely “run–in”, a leakage of 40 to 60 drops per
minute of the liquid should be allowed to flow from the stuffing
box at all times for cooling and lubricating the packing and
shaft sleeve.
2. Stuffing Boxes with Mechanical Seal:
Although this type of box requires no attention, a periodic
inspection of the circulating lines will ensure that they do not
become clogged.
IV-C. Vibration
It is good practice to periodically monitor vibration of the
pump. Normally, the vibration level will be well within accepted
standards. Of equal importance is that the vibration level not
increase. If a problem with vibration is encountered, refer to
Trouble Shooting, Section VII.
IV-D. Alignment—Final
Alignment should be checked after unit has reached operating
temperature, following startup. Repeat alignment procedures
outlined in Section II–E. Check alignment again after one week
of operation.
IV-E. Performance
If performance deteriorates, refer to Trouble Shooting, Section
VII.

off shaft. Do not damage oil seal (332A). Slide bearing
housing off shaft.
o. Straighten tang in lock washer and remove bearing
locknut (136) and lock washer (382). Remove ball bearing
(112A) using a bearing puller. Protect bearing from
contamination.
p. On units with stuffing boxes, remove lantern ring (105)
and packing rings (106) from stuffing box cover (184).
V-B. Inspection and Parts
Replacement Guidelines
1. Impeller—Replace if impeller shows excessive erosion,
corrosion, extreme wear, or vane breakage. O–ring groove and
impeller hub must be in good condition. Check impeller balance
if possible. Reduction in hydraulic performance and reduced
mechanical seal, packing or thrust bearing life may be caused
by excessive impeller wear.
2. Shaft—Check for runout (.005” max) to see that shaft has
not been bent. On pumps without shaft sleeves, shaft surface in
stuffing box area must be smooth and free of grooves. Bearing
seats and oil seal area must be smooth and free of scratches or
grooves. Shaft threads must be in good condition. Metalize or
replace shaft if necessary.
3. Shaft Sleeve—Sleeve surface in stuffing box must be smooth.
If grooved, replace or metalize.
4. Mechanical Seal—Seal faces, gaskets, and shaft sealing
members must be in perfect condition or leakage may result.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
5. Ball Bearings—Replace if worn, loose or rough and noisy
when rotated.
6. Oil Seals—Replace if worn or otherwise damaged.
7. General—All parts should be clean before assembly. All burrs
should be removed.
V-C. Reassembly Procedures
This procedure covers reassembly of pump after complete
disassembly. Make sure all directions outlined in Section V–B
have been followed.
1. Oil shaft at thrust bearing fit on coupling end of shaft
(122A). Slide thrust (coupling end) bearing (112A) on shaft as
far as possible by hand. Place pipe or driving sleeve over shaft,
making sure it rests against inner face only. Make sure bearing
is “square” on shaft. Tap or press evenly until bearing is seated
firmly against shaft shoulder. Do not mar the shaft.
2. Place lockwasher and bearing locknut (136) on shaft and
tighten firmly. Bend “tang” of lockwasher into slot in locknut.
3a. On S, M and L models. Take care not to damage oil seal
(332A), slide the bearing housing (134A) with O–ring
(496) in place over drive end of the shaft, and in place
over the bearing.
b. On X models. Slide bearing housing (134A) with O–ring
over impeller end of the shaft, and in place ove the bearing.
Install O–ring (496A) on bearing end cover (109A) and
slide into bearing housing (134A) and tighten into place
with fasteners and ensure that there is no remaining
end float in bearing outer race and that bearing operates
smoothly.
7
4. On S, M and L models, insert retaining ring (361A) into
groove in bearing housing (134A). Flat side of retaining ring
must be against bearing (112A). On X units, slide bearing end
cover (109A) and gasket (360C) on shaft. Ensure the “top” of
end cover (109A) lines up with the “top” of bearing housing
(134A), check scribe marks. If the bearing housing (134A) is
not installed properly (oil drain groove in bottom), oil will not
be able to drain from bearing causing it to overheat and fail
prematurely.
5. Oil inboard bearing seat on shaft. Slide inboard ball bearing
(168A) on shaft (122) as far as possible by hand. Continue as
in Step 1 above.
6. Place a small amount of O–ring lubricant on inside of
bearing frame (228A) at bearing housing (134A), at inboard
bearing seats (168A), on O-ring (496), and on inboard oil seal
(333A). Carefully slide shaft assembly into bearing frame. Do
not damage inboard oil seal (333A). Screw bearing housing
bolts (370C) about ” into bearing frame (228A) .
7. Slide deflector (123) on shaft (122).
8. If unit has packed stuffing box, place stuffing box cover (184)
against adapter (108), making sure that studs (370H) align with
proper holes in adapter. Replace nuts and firmly tighten. Slide
sleeve (if any) on shaft. Make sure grooves in end of sleeve
engage drive pin on shaft. Continue assembly at Step 10.
9. If unit has mechanical seal:
The following instructions refer to pumps equipped with
mechanical seals, either with or without sleeves.
(4) Slide the rotary portion of the seal on the shaft (122)
(or shaft sleeve) (126) establishing its location from
the scribe line to the dimension as shown on the seal
manufacturer’s drawing. Tighten set screws.
(5) Reinstall the stuffing box cover and tighten. Do not
damage the seal parts.
(6) Reinstall the impeller with O-ring.
(7) Slide the gland assembly against the stuffing box and
tighten the nuts evenly. Do not damage the seal
parts.
(8) Refer to Step 12 for further assembly details.
b. Double Seals
(1) Scribe the shaft (122) or shaft sleeve (126) lightly at
the face of the stuffing box.
(2) Remove the impeller and stuffing box.
(3) Assemble the gland (250) with gaskets and stationary
seat and slide the assembly over the shaft (122) or
shaft sleeve (126).
(4) Slide the rotary portion of the seal on the shaft (122)
or shaft sleeve (126) establishing its location from
the scribe line to the dimension as shown on the seal
manufacturer’s drawings. Tighten set screws.
(5) Place inboard stationary seat and gaskets into bottom
of stuffing box.
(6) Reinstall the stuffing box cover and tighten. Do not
damage seal parts.
(7) Reinstall the impeller with O–ring.
(8) Slide the gland assembly against the stuffing box and
tighten the nuts evenly. Do not damage seal parts.
(9) Refer to Step 12 for further assembly details.
If the unit has a single inside or double seal, a preliminary impeller
adjustment must be performed to assure proper positioning of
mechanical seal.
(1) Position sleeve (126), if any, on shaft (122) and engage
groove in sleeve with drive pin (469) on shaft. Place
stuffing box cover (184) against frame (228). Make sure
studs (370H) align with proper holes in frame. Firmly
tighten nuts or bolts.
(2) Screw impeller (101) with O-ring (412A) in place on shaft.
Make sure that shaft assembly extends through stuffing
box cover (184) so that the impeller will NOT contact
face of stuffing box cover.
(3) Using impeller adjusting bolts (370C and 370D), adjust
the impeller end clearance 0.015 with volute in place.
Mark shaft sleeve.
The following instructions are for three basic seal types:
Single Inside, Single Outside, and Double Seals. Refer to seal
manufacturer’s drawing seal type and positioning dimension.
Follow pertinent procedures.
a. Single Inside Seal
(1) Scribe the shaft (122) or shaft sleeve (126) lightly at
the face of the stuffing box.
(2) Remove the impeller and stuffing box.
(3) Assemble the gland (250) with gaskets and stationary
seat and slide the assembly over the shaft (122) or
shaft sleeve (126).
c. Single Outside Seal
Preliminary impeller adjustment is not necessary with this
type of mechanical seal.
(1) If unit has shaft sleeve (126), slide on shaft (122)
and engage groove in sleeve with drive pin (469) on
shaft.
(2) Lubricate rotary portion of seal and slide on shaft
sleeve. Do not tighten set screws.
(3) Assemble gland (250), gaskets, and stationary seat
and slide assembly on shaft or sleeve.
(4) Place stuffing box cover (184) against frame making
sure that the studs (370H) align with the proper holes
in frame. Firmly tighten nuts.
(5) Screw impeller with O–ring on shaft making sure
impeller does not make contact with stuffing box
cover. If the impeller does hit, use impeller adjusting
cap screws to correct.
(6) Place gland assembly against face of stuffing box and
firmly tighten stud nuts.
(7) Slide rotary portion toward gland until it contacts
stationary seat. Compress the rotary. Tighten screws.
10. Screw impeller (101) with O–ring (412A) in place, on the
shaft (122).
11. On units with stuffing box packing (106), repack stuffing
box as outlined in Section II–F. Assemble gland stud nuts finger
tight.
12. Install and position coupling hub at scribe mark on shaft.
8
13. Place casing gasket (351) against shoulder in casing.
14. Slide the pullout assembly into the casing (100). Drain slot
in stuffing box cover (184) should line up with drain connection
in casing. Install frame–to–casing bolts (370) and tighten evenly
while rotating shaft (122) by hand. If impeller ceases to turn
freely, stop tightening operation and adjust the impeller setting
with the adjusting bolts (370C and 370D) before resuming
tightening of frame-to-casing bolts (370).
15. Impeller Clearance
The impeller clearance is an important factor in maintaining
optimum pump performance. The nominal clearance is .015”
with the recommended minimum being .008”. The actual
clearance setting is dependent on the specific operating
conditions, taking into account temperature, solids, etc. For
maximum service flexibility pumps are shipped from the factory
with the clearance set at .015”. The desired clearance is
obtained in the following manner:
a. Loosen bolts (370C and 370D).
b. Tighten bolts (370C) with turning shaft clockwise until
impeller starts to rub against casing.
c. Loosen bolts (370C) until a feeler gauge, corresponding
to the desired clearance, can be placed between the bolt
head and bearing housing.
d. Tighten bolts (370D) evenly. Bearing housing shaft and
impeller will be jacked to proper clearance from casing.
Tighten bolts (370C) and jam nuts on bolts (370D).
e. If desired, a dial indicator can be used instead of a feeler
gauge to check that the bearing housing has been moved
the correct distance.
V-D. Additional Details
An alternate method for setting inside mechanical seals is the
“Modified Visegrip Method”.
1. Follow assembly up to Step 7.
2. Assemble the gland with stationary seat and gaskets.
3. Install the shaft sleeve, if used on the shaft, and engage
groove in sleeve with drive pin (469) on shaft.
4. Slide gland assembly over the shaft or shaft sleeve.
5. Install the stuffing box cover and impeller. Establish a
preliminary rotor adjustment (refer to Section V–C–9).
6. Slide gland assembly against stuffing box. Do not bolt the
gland to the stuffing box.
7. Clamp the modified visegrip on the shaft or sleeve directly
behind and against the gland.

Possible Causes
& Corrections
10. Foot valve too small—install correct size foot valve.
11. Foot valve or suction pipe not immersed deep enough—
consult factory for proper depth. Use baffle to eliminate
vortices.
12. Entrained air or gases in liquid—consult factory.
13. Impeller clearance too great—check for proper clearance.
14. Impeller damaged—inspect and replace as required.
15. Rotating parts bind—check internal wearing parts for proper
clearances.
16. Shaft bent—straighten or replace as required.
17. Coupling or pump and driver misaligned—check alignment
and realign if required.
18. Impeller diameter too small—consult factory for proper
impeller diameter.
19. Improper pressure gauge location—check correct position
and discharge nozzle or pipe.
Causes & Corrective Measures
1. Pump not primed or properly vented—check that casing and
suction pipe are completely filled with liquid.
2. Speed too low—check whether motor wiring is correct and
receives full voltage or turbine receives full steam pressure.
3. System discharge head too high—check system head
(particularly friction losses).
4. Suction lift too high—check NPSH available (suction piping
too small or long may cause excessive friction losses). Check
with vacuum or compound gauge.
5. Impeller or piping obstructed—check for obstructions.
6. Wrong direction of rotation—check rotation.
7. Air pocket or leak in suction line—check suction piping for
air pockets and/or air leaks.
8. Stuffing box packing or seal worn allowing leakage of air into
pump casing—check packing or seal and replace as required.
Check for proper lubrication.
9. Not enough suction head for hot or volatile liquids—increase
suction head, consult factory.
20. Casing gasket damaged—check gaskets and replace as
required.
21. Speed too high—check motor winding voltage or steam
pressure received by turbine.
22. Head lower than rating; pumps too much liquid—consult
factory. Install throttle valve, cut impeller.
23. Liquid heavier than anticipated—check specific gravity and
viscosity.
24. Stuffing box not properly packed (insufficient packing, not
properly inserted or run in, packing too tight)—check packing
and repack stuffing box.
25. Incorrect packing or mechanical seal—consult factory.
26. Damaged mechanical seal—inspect and replace as required.
Consult factory.
27. Shaft sleeve scored—remachine or replace as required.
28. Cavitation—increase NPSH available. Consult factory.
29. Pump capacity too low—consult factory for minimum
continuous flow.
30. Excessive vibration—See Section D.
31. Improper bearing lubrication or bearings worn out—inspect
and replace as required.

SECTION VIII—ORDERING SPARE PARTS
VIII-A. Spare Parts
To insure against possible long and costly downtime periods,
especially on critical services, it is advisable to have spare parts
on hand.
1. For critical services: It is recommended that a “back pull–out
assembly” be kept on hand. This is a group of assembled parts
which includes all parts except the casing and the coupling.
If this unit is equipped with stuffing box packing, one set of
stuffing box packing (item 106) should be on hand.
2. An alternative, though not as desirable as that stated above,
can be used on non–critical services. This involves having on
hand parts that are most likely to wear and can be used as
needed. See Section VI, Parts List, for these recommended
spares.
VIII-B. Instructions for Ordering Spare
Parts
Repair orders will be handled with the minimum of delay if the
following directions are followed:
1. Give model number, size of pump, and serial number. These
can be obtained from the nameplate on the pump.
2. Write plainly the name, part number, and material of each
part required. These names and numbers should agree with
those on the sectional drawing in Section VI.
3. Give the number (quantity) of parts required.
4. Give complete shipping instructions.
