1.6 Safety
1.6.1 Summary of safety markings
These User Instructions contain specific safety markings where non-observance of an instruction would cause hazards. The specific safety markings are:
1.6.3 Safety action
This is a summary of conditions and actions to prevent injury to personnel and damage to the environment and to equipment. For products used in potentially explosive atmospheres section 1.6.4 also applies.
This symbol indicates electrical safety instructions where non-compliance will involve a high risk to personal safety or the loss of life.
This symbol indicates safety instructions where non-compliance would affect personal safety and could result in loss of life.
This symbol indicates “hazardous substances and toxic fluid” safety instructions where non­compliance would affect personal safety and could result in loss of life.
This symbol indicates safety instructions where non-compliance will involve some risk to safe operation and personal safety and would damage the equipment or property.
This symbol indicates explosive atmosphere zone marking according to ATEX. 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
GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE
THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL
DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP The appropriate safety precautions should be taken where the pumped liquids are hazardous.
FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (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.
This symbol is used in safety instructions to remind not to rub non-metallic surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp. It is used where non­compliance in the hazardous area would cause the risk of an explosion.
This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates
an important instruction in the assembly process.
1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved in the operation, installation, inspection and maintenance of the unit must be qualified to carry out the work involved. If the personnel in question do not already possess the necessary knowledge and skill, appropriate training and instruction must be provided. If required the operator may commission the manufacturer/supplier to provide applicable training.
Always coordinate repair activity with operations and health and safety personnel, and follow all plant safety requirements and applicable safety and health laws and regulations.
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.
NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER Trapped lubricant or vapor could cause an explosion.
HOT (and cold) PARTS If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating supplies can present a danger to operators and persons entering the immediate area action must be taken to avoid accidental contact. If complete protection is not possible, the machine access must be limited to maintenance staff only, with clear visual warnings and indicators to those entering the immediate area. Note: bearing housings must not be insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.
If the temperature is greater than 68 °C (155 °F) or below -5 °C (23 °F) in a restricted zone, or exceeds local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
Page 5 of 40 flowserve.com
MENBLOC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576296 - 02/13
HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by appropriate sitting of the pump, limiting personnel access and by operator training. If the liquid is flammable and/or explosive, strict safety procedures must be applied.
Gland packing must not be used when pumping hazardous liquids.
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.
ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION (See section 5, Commissioning, startup, operation and shutdown.)
START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET VALVE PART OPENED (Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the User Instructions.)
This is recommended to minimize the risk of overloading and damaging the pump motor at full or zero flow. Pumps may be started with the valve further open only on installations where this situation cannot occur. Pump outlet valve shall may need to be adjusted to comply with the duty following the run-up process. (See section 5, Commissioning start-up, operation and shutdown.)
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY
INLET VALVES TO BE FULLY OPEN WHEN PUMP IS RUNNING Running the pump at zero flow or below the recommended minimum flow continuously will cause damage to the seal.
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP AT ABNORMALLY HIGH OR LOW FLOW RATES Operating at a flow rate higher than normal or at a flow rate with no backpressure on the pump may overload the motor and cause cavitation. Low flow rates may cause a reduction in pump/bearing life, overheating of the pump, instability and cavitation/vibration.
1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive atmospheres
The following instructions for pumps and pump units when installed in potentially explosive atmospheres must be followed to help ensure explosion protection.
The terminology and procedures ensure that the installed pump is in compliance with the European Directive 94/9/EC, known as the ATEX Directive, which is mandatory in Europe and may also be specified in other countries. Where applicable, both electrical and non-electrical equipment must meet the requirements 94/9/EC.
Even if the installation is in a region where ATEX is not the applicable regulation, the general measures described shall be followed to ensure safe operation.
The measures are explained under the headings of:
Avoiding excessive surface temperature
Preventing build up of explosive mixtures
Preventing the generation of sparks
Preventing leakages
Maintaining the pump to avoid hazard
1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance
Use equipment only in the zone for which it is appropriate. Always check that the driver, drive coupling assembly, seal and pump equipment are suitably rated and/or certified for the classification of the specific atmosphere in which they are to be installed.
Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft pump, the Ex rating applies only to the pump. The party responsible for assembling the pump set shall select the coupling, driver and any additional equipment, with the necessary CE Declaration of Conformity establishing it is suitable for the area in which it is to be installed.
The output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can cause additional heating affects in the motor and so, for pumps sets with a VFD, the ATEX Certification for the motor must state that it is covers the situation where electrical supply is from the VFD. This particular requirement still applies even if the VFD is in a safe area.

MENBLOC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576296 - 02/13
1.6.4.2 Marking
An example of ATEX equipment marking is shown below. The actual classification of the pump will be engraved on the nameplate.
II 2 GD c IIC 135 ºC (T4)
Equipment Group I = Mining II = Non-mining
Category 2 or M2 = High level protection 3 = normal level of protection
Gas and/or Dust G = Gas; D= Dust
c = Constructional safety (in accordance with EN 13463-5)
Gas Group (Equipment Category 2 only) IIA – Propane (typical) IIB – Ethylene (typical) IIC – Hydrogen (typical)
Maximum surface temperature (Temperature Class) (see section 1.6.4.3)
1.6.4.3 Avoiding excessive surface temperatures
ENSURE THE EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURE
CLASS IS SUITABLE FOR THE HAZARD ZONE Pumps have a temperature class as stated in the
ATEX Ex rating on the nameplate. These are based on a maximum ambient of 40 °C (104 °F); refer to Flowserve for higher ambient temperatures.
The surface temperature on the pump is influenced by the temperature of the liquid handled. The maximum permissible liquid temperature depends on the temperature class and must not exceed the values in the table that follows.
The temperature rise at the seals, bearings and due to the minimum permitted flow rate is taken into account in the temperatures stated.

The responsibility for compliance with the specified maximum liquid temperature is with the plant operator.
Temperature classification “Tx” is used when the liquid temperature varies and the pump could be installed in different hazardous atmospheres. In this case the user is responsible for ensuring that the pump surface temperature does not exceed that permitted in the particular hazardous atmosphere.
If an explosive atmosphere exists during the installation, do not attempt to check the direction of rotation by starting the pump unfilled. Even a short run time may give a high temperature resulting from contact between rotating and stationary components. Furthermore, confinement of liquid in the pump and pipes must be avoided (valve closed). If the liquid heats up this may cause excessive pressure and lead to bursting of pump components.
Where there is any risk of the pump being run against a closed valve generating high liquid and casing external surface temperatures it is recommended that users fit an external surface temperature protection device.
Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by using motor overload trips, temperature monitor or a power monitor and make routine vibration monitoring checks.
In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must be made and dirt removed from areas around close clearances, bearing housings and motors.
1.6.4.4 Preventing the build up of explosive mixtures
ENSURE PUMP IS PROPERLY FILLED AND
VENTED AND DOES NOT RUN DRY. Ensure pump and relevant suction and discharge
pipeline system is totally filled with liquid at all times during the pump operation, so that an explosive atmosphere is prevented. In addition it is essential to make sure that seal chambers, auxiliary shaft seal systems and any heating and cooling systems are properly filled.
If the operation of the system cannot avoid this condition the fitting of an appropriate dry run protection device is recommended (eg liquid detection or power monitor).
To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of vapor or gas to atmosphere the surrounding area must be well ventilated.

MENBLOC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576296 - 02/13
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks
To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking. To avoid the potential hazard from random induced current generating a spark the ground contact on the baseplate must be used.
Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non­metallic surfaces with a dry cloth, ensure cloth is damp. Where applicable the coupling must be selected to comply with 94/9/EC and correct alignment must be maintained.
Additional requirements for metallic pumps on non-metallic baseplates.
When metallic components are fitted on a non­metallic baseplate they must be individually earthed (grounded).
1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage
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 Nameplate and safety labels
1.7.1 Nameplate
For details of nameplate, see the Declaration of Conformity, or separate documentation included with
these User Instructions.
1.7.2 Safety labels
The pump must only be used to handle liquids for which it has been approved to have the correct corrosion resistance.
Avoid entrapment of liquid in the pump and associated piping due to closing of suction and discharge valves, which could cause dangerous excessive pressures to occur if there is heat input to the liquid. This can occur if the pump is stationary or running.
Bursting of liquid containing parts due to freezing must be avoided by draining or protecting the pump and ancillary systems.
Where there is the potential hazard of a loss of a seal barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid must be monitored.
If leakage of liquid to atmosphere can result in a hazard, the installation of a liquid detection device is recommended.
1.6.4.7 Maintenance to avoid the hazard
CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A RISK OF EXPLOSION
The responsibility for compliance with maintenance 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.
Oil lubricated units only:
1.8 Specific machine performance
For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty conditions. When the contract requirement specifies
these to be incorporated into User Instructions these are included here. Where performance data has been supplied separately to the purchaser these should be obtained and retained with these User Instructions if required.
Page 8 of 40 flowserve.com
MENBLOC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576296 - 02/13
1.8.1 Ecodesign
EU Regulation 547/2012 of the Directive 2009/125/EC, for the minimum efficiency of defined classes of water pumps, requires that products must show their Minimum Efficiency Index (MEI) value. The EU Benchmark MEI 0.70. Also product information must be available to users. Performance curves will have been provided with the quotation or order or are available at flowserve.com. The efficiency of a pump with trimmed impeller is usually lower than that of a pump with the full impeller diameter. The trimming of the impeller will adapt the pump to a fixed duty point, leading to reduced energy consumption. The minimum efficiency index (MEI) is based on the full impeller diameter. The operation of this water pump with variable duty points may be more efficient and economic when controlled, for example, by the use of a variable speed drive that matches the pump duty to the system. Information on benchmark efficiency is available at www.europump.org/efficiencycharts.
1.9 Noise level
Attention must be given to the exposure of personnel to the noise, and local legislation will define when guidance to personnel on noise limitation is required, and when noise exposure reduction is mandatory. This is typically 80 to 85 dBA.
The usual approach is to control the exposure time to the noise or to enclose the machine to reduce emitted sound.
You may have already specified a limiting noise level when the equipment was ordered, however if no noise requirements were defined, then attention is drawn to the following table to give an indication of equipment noise level so that you can take the appropriate action in your plant.
Pump noise level is dependent on a number of operational factors, flow rate, pipework design and acoustic characteristics of the building, and so the values given are subject to a 3 dBA tolerance and cannot be guaranteed.
Similarly the motor noise assumed in the “pump and motor” noise is that typically expected from standard and high efficiency motors when on load directly driving the pump. Note that a motor driven by an inverter may show an increased noise at some speeds.
If a pump unit only has been purchased for fitting with your own driver then the “pump only” noise levels in the table should be combined with the level for the driver obtained from the supplier. Consult Flowserve or a noise specialist if assistance is required in combining the values.
It is recommended that where exposure approaches the prescribed limit, then site noise measurements should be made.
The values are in sound pressure level LpA at 1 m (3.3 ft) from the machine, for “free field conditions over a reflecting plane”.
For estimating sound power level LWA (re 1 pW) then add 17 dBA to the sound pressure value.

In areas where the staff has to intervene, remember that when the level of the sound pressure is:
below 70 dBA: it is not necessary to take special precautions.
above 70 dBA: people working continuously in the machine room must be supplied with protective devices against noise.
below 85 dBA: no particular measures need to be taken for casual visitors staying in the room during a limited period.
above 85 dBA: the room must be considered as a dangerous area because of the noise and a warning sign must be fixed at each entry warning the people coming into the room, even for a short period, that they must wear hearing protection.
above 105 dBA: special hearing protection adapted to this noise level and to the spectral noise components must be installed and a warning sign to this effect erected at each entry. The staff in the room must wear ear protection.
Make sure that the noise, which travels through the walls and windows, does not generate too high noise levels in the machine room's surroundings.
2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be checked against the delivery and 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 and received in writing within one month of receipt of the equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crate, boxes and wrappings for any accessories or spare parts that may be packed separately with the equipment or attached to sidewalls of the box or equipment.
Each product has a unique serial number. Check that this number corresponds with that advised and always quote this number in correspondence as well as when ordering spare parts or further accessories.
2.2 Handling
2.2.1 General instructions concerning handling
Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded using forklift vehicles or slings dependent on their size and construction. See 2.3.1 for positioning of slings.
To lift heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb), use a winch adapted to the mass and in accordance with the current local regulations.
To lift machines or pieces with one or several suspension rings, only use hooks and chains in compliance with the local regulations concerning safety. Never put cables, chains or ropes directly on or in the suspension rings. Cables, chains or lifting ropes must never present excessive bending.
Never bend the lifting hooks, suspension rings, chains, etc., which should only be made to endure stresses within, calculated limits. Remember that the capacity of a lifting device decreases when the direction of the lifting force direction makes an angle with the device axis.
To increase the safety and the efficiency of the lifting device, all the lifting elements must be as perpendicular as possible. If necessary a lifting beam can be placed between the winch and the load.
When heavy pieces are lifted up, never stay or work under the load or in the area, which could be in the path of the load if it were to swing or fall away. Never leave a load hanging from a winch. The acceleration or the slowing-down of lifting equipment must stay in the safety limits for the staff.
A winch must be positioned in such a way that the load will be raised perpendicularly. Where possible necessary precautions must be taken to avoid the swing of the load, using for example two winches making approximately the same angle, below 30°, with the vertical.

) starting on 380/415 V supply. All connections strips must be removed from the terminal box and 6 wires connected to the / starter, as shown above.
4.5 Protection systems
The following protection systems are recommended particularly if the pump is installed in a potentially explosive area or is handling a hazardous liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve. If there is any possibility of the system allowing the pump to run against a closed valve or below minimum continuous safe flow a protection device should be installed to ensure the temperature of the liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.
If there are any circumstances in which the system can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or prevent it from being started. This is particularly relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid.
If leakage of product from the pump or its associated sealing system can cause a hazard it is recommended that an appropriate leakage detection system is installed.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at bearings it is recommended that temperature or vibration monitoring are carried out. See sections
5.5.3 and 5.5.4. If a defect of cooling can lead to temperature
higher than those acceptable a system of cooling surveillance must be installed.
Except when explicitly required by the customer in the specifications, when a possibility of reverse rotation exists the customer must install a reverse rotation protection device.
The customer must install all equipment required to avoid water hammer.

5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP, OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN
These operations must be carried out by
fully qualified personnel.
5.1 Direction of rotation
Starting or operating pumps with the wrong direction of rotation can be harmful to the pumps. Ensure that the pump rotation is the same as the arrow on the pump casing. It is preferable to check the direction of rotation before installing the coupling. If not, the pump must be filled in with the liquid before start-up.
If maintenance work has been carried out to the site's electricity supply, the direction of rotation should be re-checked as above in case the supply phasing has been altered.
5.2 Guarding
Guarding is supplied fitted to the pump set.
If this has been removed or disturbed ensure that all the protective guards around the pump coupling and exposed parts of the shaft are securely fixed.
5.3 Priming and auxiliary supplies
c) When the pump is totally free of air bubbles,
replace the plugs.
Air escape
Priming of a flooded pump
5.3.2 Priming of a pump on suction lift
* With foot valve: a) Fill suction pipe and casing with liquid from an
independent source (pressure 1 to 2 bars or 15 to 30 psi).
a) Let air escape by removing the plugs located
on the pump.
b) When the pump is totally free of air bubbles,
replace the plugs.
External s
Air escape
Where there is any risk of the pump being run against a closed valve generating high liquid and casing external surface temperatures it is recommended that users fit an external surface temperature protection device.
Ensure all electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, sealant and lubrication systems (as applicable) are connected and operational.
Ensure the inlet pipe and pump casing are completely full of liquid before starting continuous duty operation.
These operations must be carried out by personnel with approved qualifications.
5.3.1 Priming of a pump with flood suction
a) With the discharge valve closed, fill the pump
by opening the suction valve. Let air escape by removing the plug located on the pump casing.
b) When the discharge pipe is full and if there is a
by-pass valve on the check valve, open slightly the discharge valve and the by-pass of the check valve.
Priming of sump suction pump with foot valve
*Without foot valve:
Priming may be accomplished by means of venting system.
Foot valves are not recommended when the pumped liquid has suspended solid particles. They may lodge between foot valve seat and disc.

MENBLOC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576296 - 02/13
5.4 Starting the pump
5.4.1 Bring controls and preparation before the first starting and after each service call
Necessarily:
a) Check the tightening of the different plugs. b) Check that the motor bearings are correctly
greased (where regreasing is possible).
c) Guarding is supplied fitted to the
pump set. If this has been removed or disturbed ensure that all the protective guards
are securely refitted. d) Open all inlet valves (if existing). e) Close the outlet valve and the bypass valve f) Ensure inlet pipe and pump casing are
completely full of liquid. g) Make sure that the motor fan cowl is not
obstructed or too near to a wall or obstruction.
5.4.2 First pump start-up
Suction valves must be fully open when pump is running. Never run the pump dry, it will cause damage.
a) Check the direction of rotation is as indicated
by the arrow on the motor casing or cover, using a brief burst of power. If it is not correct then isolate the motor and reverse the
connection of two phases. b) Start motor and check outlet pressure. c) If pressure is satisfactory, slowly OPEN the
outlet valve. d) Do not run the pump with the outlet valve
closed for a period longer than 30 seconds. e) If NO pressure, or LOW pressure, STOP the
pump. Refer to faultfinding chart for fault
diagnosis. The pump should run smoothly and without
vibration. The pump must never run at a capacity of less
than 40 % of that at the best efficiency.
Never remove a plug when the pump is
running. a) When the unit is normally running, note the
maximum intensities absorbed on each phase. b) Adjust definitively the circuit breaker for a
slightly greater current to the maximum
noticed current, which must never be superior
to the currents, indicated on the motor
description plate. c) Check that the voltage between phases in the
motor terminals is correct.
A well-adjusted and maintained circuit breaker efficiently protects the pump unit.
Any disjunction means that the unit is badly running (voltage loss, cut phase, misadjustment, foreign matter in the pump, jamming, etc.).
5.5 Running the pump
5.5.1 Venting the pump
Vent the pump to enable all trapped air to escape taking due care with hot or hazardous liquids.
Under normal operating conditions, after the pump has been fully primed and vented, it should be unnecessary to re-vent the pump.
5.5.2 Pump fitted with a mechanical seal
A mechanical seal ensures a seal without leakage and does not need any adjustment. Nevertheless if a light leakage occurs during start-up, it should disappear after the initial running in of the rubbing faces.
NEVER RUN A MECHANICAL
SEAL DRY, EVEN FOR A SHORT WHILE.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THE PUMP IS RUNNING:
If hot or freezing components of the machine can present a danger to operators, they must be shielded to avoid accidental contact. If a 100 % protection is not possible; the machine access must be confined to the maintenance staff only.
If the temperature is greater than 80 °C (176 °F), a warning plate must be clearly placed on the pump.
It is strictly forbidden to open switch cupboards, switch boxes, or all other live electric equipment. If it is necessary to open them in order to take readings, to carry out tests or adjustments for example, only a skilled technician may do them with adapted tools. Make sure that physical protection against electrical risks is used.

5.5.3 Bearings
If the pumps are working in a potentially explosive atmosphere, temperature or vibration monitoring at the bearings is recommended. If bearing temperatures are to be monitored it is essential that a benchmark temperature is recorded at the commissioning stage and after the bearing temperature has stabilized.
Record the bearing temperature (t) and the
ambient temperature (ta)
Estimate the likely maximum ambient
temperature (tb)
Set the alarm at (t+tb-ta+5) °C [(t+tb-ta+10) °F]
and the trip at 100 °C (212 °F) for oil lubrication and 105 °C (220 °F) for grease lubrication
It is important, particularly with grease lubrication, to keep a check on bearing temperatures.
After start up the temperature rise should be gradual, reaching a maximum after approximately
1.5 to 2 hours. This temperature rise should then remain constant or marginally reduce with time.
5.5.4 Normal vibration levels, alarm and trip
For guidance, pumps generally fall under a classification for rigid support machines within the International rotating machinery standards and the recommended maximum levels below are based on those standards.
Alarm and trip values for installed pumps should be based on the actual measurements (N) taken on site on the bearing housings of the pump in the fully commissioned as new condition.
The example (N) value is given for the preferred operating flow region (typically this may extend to 70 to 120 % of the pump best efficiency point); outside the preferred flow region the actual vibration experienced may be multiplied by up to 2.
These standard values can vary with the rotational speed and the power absorbed by the pump. For any special case, do not hesitate to consult us.
Measuring vibration at regular intervals will then show any deterioration in pump or system operating conditions.

Where duty and standby pumps are installed it is recommended that they are run alternately every week.
5.6 Stopping and shutdown
According to hydraulic conditions of the installation and its automation degree, stop and restart procedures can have different forms. Nevertheless all of them must respect imperatively the following rules:
5.6.1 Stopping < 1 hour
a) Isolate motor. b) Avoid reverse rotation of the pump. c) Make sure that the discharge line pressure
does not reach the foot valve.
5.6.2 Stopping < 1 month
a) Isolate motor. b) Avoid reverse rotation of the pump. c) Make sure that the discharge line pressure
does not reach the foot valve.
d) Close the outlet valve. Eventually close the
inlet valve.
e) Switch off external power supply,
flushing/quench, cooling liquid.
5.6.3 Shutdown > 1 month
a) Isolate motor. b) Avoid reverse rotation of the pump. c) Make sure that the discharge line pressure
does not reach the foot valve.
d) Close the outlet valve. Eventually close the
inlet valve.
e) Switch off external power supply,
flushing/quench, cooling liquid.
f) Keep the pump fully filled with water. In case
of pumped liquid other than water, drain the pump entirely.
g) Turn once per week the pump shaft of one or
two turns.
h) Never restart the pump without carrying out
the verifications recommended before starting (see § 5.4.1).
Page 23 of 40 flowserve.com
MENBLOC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576296 - 02/13
When ambient temperatures are likely to drop below freezing point, the pump and any cooling and flushing arrangements must be drained or otherwise protected.
5.6.4 Restarting in continuous running
a) Ensure that the pump is completely full of
liquid.
b) Ensure a continuous supply with a sufficient
available NPSH.
c) Ensure a backpressure so that the motor
power is not in excess.
d) Respect the starting frequency
imposed by the motor manufacturer.
e) Protect the pump against water hammer
when stopping or starting.
To reduce any possibility of motor thermal stress, the number of motor starts per hour given in the table below must not be exceeded:
IP 55 motor – An extended motor shaft
≤ 1.2 kW - 35 starts/hour
1.5 to 3.3 kW - 30 starts/hour 4 to 4.6 kW - 25 starts/hour
6.5 kW - 20 starts/hour
8.2 to 16 kW - 15 starts/hour IP 55 motor – An added pump shaft
1450 min-1 15 kW
22 kW 30 kW 5 starts/hour
2900 min-1 18.5 kW
22 kW 30 kW 37 kW
The time periods between each start up should be roughly equal in any one-hour period.
5.7 Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical duty
This product has been supplied to meet the performance specifications of your purchase order, however it is understood that during the life of the product these may change. The following notes may help the user decide how to evaluate the implications of any change. If in doubt contact your nearest Flowserve office.
5.7.1 Specific gravity (SG)
Pump capacity and total head in meters (feet) do not change with SG, however pressure displayed on a pressure gauge is directly proportional to SG. Power absorbed is also directly proportional to SG. It is therefore important to check that any change in SG will not overload the pump driver or over­pressurize the pump.
5.7.2 Viscosity
For a given flow rate the total head reduces with increased viscosity and increases with reduced viscosity. Also for a given flow rate the power absorbed increases with increased viscosity, and reduces with reduced viscosity.
It is important that checks are made with your nearest Flowserve office if changes in viscosity are planned.
5.7.3 Pump speed
Changing pump speed effects flow, total head, power absorbed, NPSHR, noise and vibration. Flow varies in direct proportion to pump speed, head varies as speed ratio squared and power varies as speed ratio cubed.
The new duty, however, will also be dependent on the system curve. If increasing the speed, it is important therefore to ensure the maximum pump working pressure is not exceeded, the driver is not overloaded, NPSHA > NPSHR, and that noise and vibration are within local requirements and regulations.
5.7.4 Net positive suction head (NPSHA)
NPSH available (NPSHA) is the head available at the impeller inlet, above the vapor pressure of the pumped liquid.
NPSH required (NPSHR) is the minimum head required at the impeller inlet, above the vapor pressure of the pumped liquid, to avoid excessive cavitation and extreme performance degradation.
It is important that NPSHA > NPSHR. The margin between NPSHA > NPSHR should be as large as possible.
If any change in NPSHA is proposed, ensure these margins are not significantly eroded. Refer to the pump performance curve to determine exact requirements particularly if flow has changed.
If in doubt please consult your nearest Flowserve office for advice and details of the minimum allowable margin for your application.
5.7.5 Pumped flow
Flow must not fall outside the minimum and maximum continuous safe flow shown on the pump performance curve and or data sheet.
5.8 Pumps for Food Use or Potable Water
If the pump has not been specifically ordered for a food or drinking water application it must not be used for these types of applications. If it has been ordered for this type of application the following recommendations are to be followed.
Page 24 of 40 flowserve.com
MENBLOC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576296 - 02/13
5.8.1 Cleaning prior to operation
Pumps that are to be used for a food or drinking water application should be cleaned before being put into initial operation and after the installation of spare parts that are in contact with the liquid.
Cleaning once the pump has been commissioned will depend on the application and operating conditions.
The user must ensure that the cleaning procedures are suitable for the application and operating conditions, and local regulations.
6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 General
If a belt drive is used, the assembly and tension of the belts must be verified during regular maintenance procedure.
In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must be made and dirt removed from areas around close clearances, bearing housings and motors.
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, as described in section 5.6.
On completion of work all guards and safety devices must be re-installed and made operative again.
Before restarting the machine, the relevant instructions listed in section 5, Commissioning, start up, operation and shut down must be observed.
Oil and grease leaks may make the ground slippery. Machine maintenance must always begin and finish by cleaning the ground and the exterior of the machine.
If platforms, stairs and guardrails 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 an uncontrolled start. Put a warning board on the starting device with the words: "Machine under repair: do not start".
With electric drive equipment, lock the main switch open and withdraw any fuses. Put a warning board on the fuse box or main switch with the words:
"Machine under repair: do not connect".
Never clean equipment with inflammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride.
Protect yourself against toxic fumes when using cleaning agents.
6.2 Maintenance schedule
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and schedule is adopted, in line with these User Instructions. It should include the following:
a) The pump must be completely vented and
drained and rendered inert before any disassembly operation.
b) Any auxiliary systems installed must be
monitored, if necessary, to ensure they function correctly.
c) During cleaning of the pump ensure the
compatibility between the cleaning products
and the gaskets. d) Verify the condition of the gaskets. e) Gland packings must be adjusted correctly to
give visible leakage and concentric alignment
of the gland follower to prevent excessive
temperature of the packing or follower.
Mechanical seals should present no leakage. f) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals.
The correct functioning of the shaft seal must
be checked regularly. g) Check bearing lubricant level, and if the hours
run show a lubricant change is required. h) Check that the duty condition is in the safe
operating range for the pump. i) Check vibration, noise level and surface
temperature at the bearings to confirm
satisfactory operation.

MENBLOC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576296 - 02/13
6.2.4 Mechanical seals
The current maintenance is limited to seal control. It is necessary to detect any small leakage which announces the beginning of the deterioration of friction faces or secondary seal elements (rings, bellows, synthetic membranes).
It is advisable to stop the pump as soon as possible. Have an approved seal vendor replace or repair the seal.
6.2.5 Internal coating
If the pump has an internal coating, this coating must be inspected periodically.
Any wear or cracks of the coating found must be immediately repaired. Failure to do this may lead to accelerated wear of the coating during operation and corrosion of the exposed base metal, depending on the material and pumped liquid.
Special attention must be paid to the coating edges.
Any loss of coating material is considered to be normal wear and tear on the pump and is not considered as warranty.
Flowserve has applied the coatings according to the supplier's instructions but will not be held responsible for coating wear or cracks that may develop over time.
6.3 Spare parts
6.3.1 Ordering of spares
Flowserve keeps records of all pumps that have been supplied. When ordering spares the following information should be quoted:
1) Pump serial number.
2) Pump size.
3) Part name
4) Part number
5) Number of parts required.
The pump size and serial number are shown on the pump nameplate.
To ensure continued satisfactory operation, replacement parts to the original design specification should be obtained from Flowserve.
Any change to the original design specification (modification or use of a non-standard part) will invalidate the pump’s safety certification.
6.3.2 Storage of spares
Spares should be stored in a clean dry area away from vibration. Inspection and re-treatment of metallic surfaces (if necessary) with preservative is recommended at 6 monthly intervals.
6.4 Recommended spares and consumable items
We advise you to stock the components indicated by * on the "Parts List".
6.4.1 Gaskets
Change all the gaskets after each dismantling.
6.4.2 Mechanical seal

be carried out by FLOWSERVE personnel or its approved repairers whose list may be sent on request. It is obvious that the following instructions and recommendations cannot replace their knowledge and experience.
a) NEVER DO MAINTENANCE
WORK WHILST THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER.
b) DRAIN PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPING
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP.
The pump should be disassembled only if certain signs of anomalies or malfunction are observed. Disassemble only to the extent that the cause of the problem may be reached.
In any case, the disassembly must be carried out by qualified personnel who have read the instructions of the leaflet and in particular the safety instructions.
Disassembly must be done with great care to avoid damage to the pumps internal parts. To make reassembly easier, display parts in the disassembly order. Protect all machined surfaces from metal/metal contacts and from corrosion.
Before any disassembly it is imperative to: a) Close the outlet and inlet valve.
b) Wait until the pump casing is at ambient
temperature.
c) Be sure that the pump casing is not under
pressure.
