Operation Guidelines
The following guidelines are important to the proper operation of your MasoSine Pump:
1. Check to be sure that the drive shaft rotation is compatible with the desired rotation of the pump
shaft.
2. The suction and discharge nozzles on the pump housing will always remain 90° apart. However,
the pump housing can be rotated in 45° increments to suit your desired nozzle positioning and
process needs. Refer to
how to rotate the pump housing.
Figure 2
for the three positioning options and to page 22 for instructions on
Figure 2 – Nozzle Position
3. The application suction conditions determine the rotation of the pump shaft and the orientation of
the scrapergate and scrapergate guide.
NOTE: The MasoSine Pump can operate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction with
equal performance provided the scrapergate and scrapergate guide are installed properly. The
fluid will pass through a 270° arc that will transport it from suction to discharge. Refer to
Figure 3
and page 20 for scrapergate and scrapergate guide installation instructions.
Figure 3 - Rotation
4. Caution: Do not run the MasoSine Pump dry. Damage to the wet end parts may result. If using the
MasoSine Pump in conjunction with a variable speed drive, it is recommended to start the drive at
as low a speed as possible. Be certain that liquid is available to the suction side of the pump
before operating.
5. On suction lift applications, top suction nozzle orientation should be avoided, as it is very difficult
to remove air from the pump in this position. It is necessary to fill the pump with water or product
prior to starting the drive.

Shimming for Proper Shaft Location
Proper shaft location will insure that the rotor is positioned in the center of the wet end of the pump.
Failure to position the rotor correctly may result in excessive and premature wear to the wet end parts.
Here are the steps necessary to shim your MasoSine Pump.
1. Install the bearing housing, item 700, into the power frame, item 600, and tighten the bearing
housing mounting cap screws, item 640. Install the pump housing, item 300, on the power frame
and tighten the housing mounting bolts, item 340. The mating surfaces between the parts should
be cleaned to eliminate any debris or burrs. NOTE: Be sure that both the cap screws and bolts are tightened to the torque specification provided on page 28.
2. Install the shaft sleeve, item 530, over the wet end of the shaft, item 200 as shown in
Figure 7
below. The shaft sleeve should be pushed onto the shaft until it reaches the shoulder. The mating
surfaces between the sleeve and the shaft should be cleaned to eliminate any debris or burrs.
3. Using a depth micrometer, or other tool which measures increments of 0.001", measure the
dimension from the shoulder on the shaft sleeve to the back face of the pump housing as shown in
Figure 7
.
4. Subtract the measurement which you received in step 3 from the "X" dimension listed in the chart
below for your pump model. The result will equal the amount of shim necessary to install between
the bearing housing and power frame. NOTE: If the dimensions listed are considerably
different from your measurement, please contact MasoSine Pump Technical Services at
303-425-0800. Remove the shaft sleeve from the shaft. Loosen and remove the bearing
housing mounting cap screws. Remove the bearing housing and shaft assembly from the
power frame.
5. Remove the shaft sleeve from the shaft. Loosen and remove the bearing housing mounting cap
screws. Remove the bearing housing and shaft assembly from the power frame.
6. Install the correct thickness of shim, item 800, required to fit within the tolerance listed in the chart
below for your pump model. Place the shim over the bearing housing flange such that the holes in
the shim are lined up with the holes on the bearing housing flange.
7. Install the bearing housing into the power frame and tighten the bearing housing mounting cap
screws. NOTE: Be sure that the cap screws are tightened to the torque specification
provided on page 28. Verify your measurements.

Scrapergate and Scrapergate Guide Installation Instructions
The scrapergate has been designed with an angle on each of its ends and a channel on the discharge
side for optimum performance and life span. It is used to separate the suction and discharge sides of
the pump. To ensure proper operation, it is essential that these installation instructions be followed
carefully.
The scrapergate has a suction side and a discharge side as shown in
the scrapergate is wider on the suction side than on the discharge side. One of the angled ends of the
scragergate has been stamped "SL" for suction left and the other has been stamped "SR" for suction
right. The scrapergate guide also has a suction side and a discharge side as shown in
viewed from the end, the scrapergate guide has a rounded, wider section which corresponds to the
suction side and a thin, flat section which corresponds to the discharge side. The ends of the
scrapergate guide has also been stamped with the markings "SL" and "SR".
Scrapergate and Scrapergate Guide Installation Instructions
When inserting the scrapergate into the scrapergate guide, the markings on the ends of both parts
must match. This ensures that the wider side of the scrapergate will contact the wider section of the
scrapergate guide.
Your suction conditions coupled with the nozzle orientation determine how the scrapergate and
scrapergate guide should be installed in the MasoSine Pump. The two most common MasoSine Pump

Suitable lifting equipment should be used when removing and installing the pump housing
to ensure that personal injury or damage to pump components does not occur.
Figure 11 – Front Views (Rotation Instructions)
3. Rotate the pump housing such that the nozzles are in a desired position. Holes have already been
drilled in the rear of the pump housing to facilitate any position of the nozzles.
4. Place the pump housing back onto the power frame being sure to align the bolt holes of both
parts. Install the housing mounting washers and bolts and tighten to the torque specification on
page 28. NOTE: Failure to tighten the bolts to the specification may cause damage to the
wet end parts, as the rotor will not be centered in the housing properly.
5. Replace the parts in the wet end of the pump. Refer to the Wet End Assembly section of this

Bearing Oil Lubrication Recommendations
There are three plugs located in the bearing housing as shown in
bearings are properly lubricated, remove the level plug. If oil is not visible, remove the fill plug and fill
the bearing housing until oil is visible through the level plug hole. Replace both plugs.
For proper lubrication and maintenance, use the following guidelines:
1. Use Lubriplate FMO 2400 AW gear oil or equivalent food grade oil in the bearing housing.
2. Check the oil level weekly. Be sure that all plugs are fully tightened when installing to prevent
water or other foreign matter from entering the bearing housing.
3. Change the oil every 5000 hours of operation for ambient temperature pumpage. Change the oil
every 2000 hours of operation for pumpage above 150°F.
4. Fill the bearing housing with oil only to the level hole, as overfilling may cause the bearings to fail
prematurely.

General Notes
MR-120 / SPS-20 - MR-150 / SPS-50 Pumps
2. All rotors and certain scrapergates are marked with the symbol **. These are of the MAXRAD
design.
MAXRAD scrapergates (Item #125) must be used with MAXRAD rotors (Item # 011). Both are
marked in the price book with ** for your convenience. The parts are physically marked with "MR".
SPS design scrapergates must be used with SPS design rotors.
SPS rotors are no longer sold. Any pump can accept a new set of MR scrapergate and MR rotor.
The scrapergate guides are useable with either the MR or the SPS Design scrapergate.
Watson-Marlow MasoSine - Pump used in production machinery with explosive mixtures will be equipped accordingly in the
factory.
1.1 Maintenance of the bearings
• For pumps in series
ones after running for 10,000 hours!
1.2 Safety signs
MR120, MR125, MR130, MR135 and MR150
,
both bearings must be replaced by new
Grounding symbol
1.3 Pump classification
The pumps are only designed for jobs lasting several days and are therefore assigned to the Device Group II – Application field
“dust – or gas – explosive areas”!
1.4 Zone classification
The Watson-Marlow MasoSine - Pumps can be used in explosive areas of the zone 1 / 21. This corresponds to the category 2
G / D.
It is expressly forbidden to use the pump(s) in the zone 0!
1.5 Classification of the ex-atmospheres
A distinction is made between dust and gas explosive atmospheres. In the model code, the atmosphere is abbreviated with G
(Gas) and D (Dust). Watson-Marlow MasoSine - Pumps are only designed for the explosive atmospheres G (Gas) and D
(Dust)!
1.6 Ignition protection
Our pumps are subject to ignition protection "c" constructive safety according to the standard for "non-electric appliances for use
in explosion-risk areas" EN 13463-5
1.7 Temperature classes
For product temperature EX II 2 G c T4
up to max. 100°C: EX II 2 D c T=120°C
1.8 Limit values for the pump
The limit values for the pump (max. speed, max. pressure, max. temperature) are stated in the data sheet (see page 4). These
limit values must never be exceeded under any circumstances! This applies in particular when using a frequency converter.
If the pumps are supplied without a drive, the following values apply!
Umgebungstemperatur -12°C bis +40°C -12°C bis +40°C -12°C bis +40°C -12°C bis +40°C -12°C bis +40°C
* depending on the rating of the pump (pls. see order confirmation)

100°C 100°C 100°C
Grounding the pump
All supplied pumps are equipped with a grounding option.
In particular in ex-areas, the pump must be grounded by fixing a grounding cable to the corresponding position (see diagram).
In addition to the grounding of the pump, the motor also needs to be grounded! If the drive is not grounded, the pump aggregate
may not be operated.
Grounding
Material properties
Plastic parts that are fitted inside the pump react more to temperature changes that stainless steel parts. For this reason, the
specified maximum medium temperature (Tm=100°C), for which the pump is designed, may not be exceeded. If the specified
temperature is exceeded, this may cause a linear expansion and may block single components; this in turn could cause the
pump to fail or could result in damage to parts of the pump. Also, excessive temperatures can accelerate the wear of dynamic
parts and therefore reduce the lifespan of the plastic parts.
Corrosion may occur to the Power Frame of the pump if the paintwork is damaged. Corrosion represents a hazard for the use of
pumps in explosive areas (for measures, see Troubleshooting Chap. 21).
Pressure Conditions
To avoid any over-pressure in the pump as a result of a closed pressure line, a pressure controller must be installed.
Maintenance / Repair
•The Filling of the pump is only permitted outside the explosion aria. Tools that are used should in compliance with
ATEX.
• The pump aggregate always needs to be kept clean of dust with a damp cloth to prevent the dust from smouldering.
• The rinsing channels in the power frame must always be checked for blockages and if necessary cleaned.
Cleaning
Caution! No solvent cleaning agents may be used to clean the pump as this could create an uncontrollable explosive
atmosphere.
Medium to be pumped
Chemicals that are combustible below the temperature 120 degrees Celsius (T4/T=120°C) and Carbon disulphide must not be
pumped.
Coupling
If the pump is used in an explosion-risk area, the pump must only be coupled to the drive by means of an elastic, positive
coupling with ATEX certification, at least corresponding to the supplied pump. Chains, toothed belts, v-belts or similar
equipment which may transmit radial forces on the bearings should not be used.
Drive
Any preceding reduction gears and/or control units must have the corresponding ATEX certification, at least corresponding to
the supplied pump. Combustion engines must never be used!
For operation with a frequency converter, this must either be installed outside the ex-zone, or have the same ATEX certification
corresponding to the delivered pump. In any case the converter must have the properties required for operation in ex-zones, for
example, temperature monitoring, speed limitation, etc.

Oil change
In the case of the pumps of the series
viewing glass (Pos. 27) in the bearing housing (Pos. 11) must be checked every day for damage and that there is enough oil in
the power frame component, in particular every time before the pumps are used. The oil viewing glass in the bearing housing
must always be filled up to the middle. Please use the following oil type that is applicable for your application! If the pump is to
be used in an area that is combustible where ATEX applies, the oil viewing glass is replaced by a screwed plug.
Standard first filling of Watson-Marlow MasoSine Pumps
• For –10°C to 60°C
