This symbol is used in safety instructions to
remind not to rub non-metallic surfaces with a dry
cloth; ensure the cloth is damp. It is used in safety
instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous
area would cause the risk of an explosion.

NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK
WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER
(Lock out.)

DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.

FLUOROELASTOMERS (When fitted.)
When a pump has experienced temperatures over
250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of
fluoroelastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this
condition these are extremely dangerous and skin
contact must be avoided.

HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane
appropriate for the mass and in accordance with
current local regulations.

NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT THE
COUPLING GUARD AND ALL OTHER SAFETY
DEVICES CORRECTLY INSTALLED

GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE
THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL

Page 4 of 13

CASING BLIND COVER USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 75663450 04-10

THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
in damage or breakage of components and should be
avoided.

Refer to the instruction manual provided

with the pump for more information.

1.6.4.1 Maintenance of the centrifugal pump to avoid a hazard

HOT (and cold) PARTS
If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating
equipment can present a danger to operators and
persons entering the immediate area, actio n must be
taken to avoid accidental contact (suc h as shieldi ng). If
complete protection is not possible, the mach ine access
must be limited to maintenance staff only with cl ear
visual warnings and indicators to those e ntering the
immediate area. Note: bearing housings must not be
insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.

If the temperature is greater than 80 °C (176°F) or
below -5 °C (23 °F) in a restricted zone, or
exceeds local regulations, action as above shall
be taken.

HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care
must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by
appropriate pump placement, limiting personnel
access and by operator training. If the liquid is
flammable and/or explosive, strict safety procedures
must be applied.

PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL
PIPE LOAD
Do not use pump as a support for piping. Do not
mount expansion joints, unless allowed by Flowserve
in writing, so that their force, due to internal pressure,
acts on the pump flange.

NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
DESIGN PRESSURE (MDP) AT THE
TEMPERATURE SHOWN ON THE PUMP
NAMEPLATE
See section 3 for pressure versus temperature
ratings based on the material of construction.

1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive atmospheres

Measures are required to:

Avoid excess temperature
Prevent build up of explosive mixtures
Prevent the generation of sparks
Prevent leakages
Maintain the pump to avoid hazard

CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO
AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A
RISK OF EXPLOSION

The responsibility for compliance with main tenance
instructions is with the plant operator.

To avoid potential explosion hazards during maintenance,
the tools, cleaning and painting materials used must not
give rise to sparking or adversely affect the ambient
conditions. Where there is a risk from such tools or
materials, maintenance must be conducted in a safe area.

It is recommended that a maintenance plan and schedule
is adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance.)

1.7 Specific machine performance

For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty
conditions. Where performance data has been
supplied separately to the purchaser these should be
obtained and retained with these User Instructions if
required

.

2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking

Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery/shipping documents for
its completeness and that there has been no damage
in transportation. Any shortage and/or damage must
be reported immediately to Flowserve Pump Division
and must be received within ten days of receipt of the
equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.

Check any crate, boxes or wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to side
walls of the box or equipment.

2.2 Handling

Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded
using fork lift vehicles or slings dependent on their
size and construction.

CASING BLIND COVER USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 75663450 04-10

2.3 Lifting

Pumps and motors often have integral
lifting lugs or eye bolts. These are intended for use in
only lifting the individual piece of equipment.

Do not use eye bolts or cast-in lifting
lugs to lift pump, motor and baseplate assemblies.

Care must be taken to lift components
or assemblies above the center of gravity to prevent
the unit from flipping. This is especially true with
In-Line pumps.

2.3.1 Lifting pump components

Casing Blind Cover [1220]

Insert an eye bolt in the tapped hole as provided.
Use either a sling or hook through the eye bolt.

2.4 Storage

Store the pump in a clean , dry location
away from vibration. Leave flange covers in place to
keep dirt and other foreign material out of pump
casing. The pump may be stored as above for up to
6 months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.

2.4.1 Short term storage and packaging

Normal packaging is designed to protect the pump
and parts during shipment and for dry, indoor storage
for up to six months or less. The following is an
overview of our normal packaging:
All loose unmounted items are packaged in a

water proof plastic bag and placed under the
coupling guard

The internal surfaces of ferrous casings, covers,

flange faces, and the impeller surface are
sprayed with Cortec VCI-389, or equal

The pump must be stored in a covered, dry

location

2.4.2 Long term storage and packaging

Long term storage is defined as more than six
months, but less than 12 months. The procedure
Flowserve follows for long term storage of pumps is
given below. These procedures are in addition to the
short term procedure.
Each assembly is hermetically (heat) sealed from

the atmosphere by means of tack wrap sheeting
and rubber bushings (mounting holes)

Desiccant bags are placed inside the tack

wrapped packaging

This packaging will provide protection for up to

twelve months from humidity, salt laden air, dust
etc.

2.5 Recycling and end of product life

At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and in accordance with local
regulations. If the product contains substances that

4 MAINTENANCE

It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure
that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work
is carried out by authorized and qualified personnel
who have adequately familiarized themselves with
the subject matter by studying this manual in detail.
(See also section 1.6.2.)

Any work on the machine must be performed when it
is at a standstill. It is imperative that the procedure
for shutting down the machine is followed.

If platforms, stairs and guard rails are required for
maintenance, they must be placed for easy access to
areas where maintenance and inspection are to be
carried out. The positioning of these accessories
must not limit access or hinder the lifting of the part to
be serviced.

When air or compressed inert gas is used in the
maintenance process, the operator and anyone in the
vicinity must be careful and have the appropriate
protection.

Do not spray air or compressed inert gas on skin.
Do not direct an air or gas jet towards other people.
Never use air or compressed inert gas to clean

clothes.
Before working on the pump, take measures to

prevent the pump from being accidentally started.
Place a warning sign on the starting device:
"Machine under repair: do not start."

With electric drive equipment, lock the main switch
open and withdraw any fuses. Put a warning sign on
the fuse box or main switch:
"Machine under repair: do not connect."

Never clean equipment with flammable solvents or
carbon tetrachloride. Protect yourself against toxic
fumes when using cleaning agents.
Refer to the parts list shown in section 8 for item
number references used throughout this section.

4.1 Maintenance schedule

b) Check that the duty condition is in the safe

operating range for the pump.

4.2 Tools required

A typical range of tools that will be required to
maintain these pumps is listed below.

Standard hand tools SAE

Hand wrenches
Socket wrenches
Allen wrenches
Soft mallet
Screwdrivers

4.3 Examination of parts

Cleaning/inspection

All parts should now be thoroughly cleaned and
inspected. New gaskets should be used. Any parts
that show wear or corrosion should be replaced with
new genuine Flowserve parts.

It is important that only non-flammable,
non-contaminated cleaning fluids are used. These
fluids must comply with plant safety and environmental
guidelines.

It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule be implemented, in accordance with these
User Instructions, to include the following:
a) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals
