• A professional rigging company should be consulted before lifting the pump assembly.
• Only use properly sized, certified lifting equipment & lifting devices, including slings, suitably rated for the weights to be lifted.
• Slings, when used, must be of identical materials to avoid differences in stretch rates.
• Do not use lifting devices that are frayed, kinked, unmarked, or worn.
• Lifting eyebolts fitted on single components of the assembly (pump or motor) must not be used to lift the complete assembly.
• Failure to observe these instructions could result in equipment or property damage, serious injury, or death.
The pump assembly can arrive in a variety of ways:
G&L Pumps Series A-C 8300 Base Mounted Centrifugal Pump INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7
2 Transportation and Storage
• Pump end only (bare pump)
• Pump less motor
• Pump, motor, & baseplate
Use the following recommended ways of handling HSC pump assemblies.
• The pump assembly should remain horizontal during transport and lifting.
• Lifting the pump end only (bare pump) should be done by placing one end of the slings around or as close to the casing barrel as possible. After the slings are attached to the unit, recheck to ensure they are securely in place. Make sure the slings are adjusted to obtain an even lift.
Figure 1: Lifting pump end only with nylon sling, chain, or wire rope
• Lifting the pump less motor or the pump, motor, & baseplate should be done by utilizing a forklift under the entire unit. Always take extra precaution to ensure the weight is balanced & equally distributed across both forks. When the baseplate of the assembly is structural channel construction, the pump and base plate should be set in place first. The motor should then be separately lifted & mounted to the unit.
• Pump, base, and driver assemblies where the base length exceeds 100 inches may not be safe to lift as a complete assembly. Damage to the baseplate may occur. If the driver has been mounted on the baseplate at the factory, it is safe to lift the entire assembly. If driver has not been mounted at the factory and the overall baseplate length exceeds 100 inches, do not lift the entire assembly consisting of pump, base, and driver. Instead lift the pump and baseplate to its final location without the driver. Then mount the driver.

Precautions
WARNING:
• When installing in a potentially explosive environment, make sure that the motor is properly certified.
• You must ground (earth) all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump equipment, the driver, and any monitoring equipment. Test the ground (earth) lead to verify that it is connected correctly.
• Motors without built-in protection must be provided with contactors and thermal overload protection for single-phase motors, or starters with heaters for three-phase motors. (See the nameplate on the drive unit to select properly-sized overloads.)
NOTICE:
Supervision by an authorized Xylem representative is recommended to ensure proper installation. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
Evaluate the installation in order to determine that the Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) meets or exceeds the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR), as stated by the pump performance curve.
4.1.1 Pump location guidelines
WARNING:
Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support this equipment can result in serious physical injury and/or equipment damage. Lift equipment only at the specifically identified lifting points. Lifting devices such as eyebolts, slings, and spreaders must be rated, selected, and used for the entire load being lifted.
Guideline Explanation/comment
Keep the pump as close to the liquid source as practically possible.
If the pump is not on a closed system, locate the pump so that the fewest number of bends or elbows in the suction pipe are needed.
Make sure that the space around the pump is sufficient. This facilitates ventilation, inspection, maintenance,
If you require lifting equipment such as a hoist or tackle, make sure that there is enough space above the pump.
Protect the unit from weather and water damage due to rain, flooding, and freezing temperatures.
Do not install and operate the equipment in closed systems unless the system is constructed with properly-sized safety devices and control devices.
This minimizes the friction loss and keeps the suction piping as short as possible.

Requirements
• A substantial foundation and footing should be built to suit local conditions and form a rigid support to maintain alignment.
• The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid support for the unit.
• Pour the foundation without interruption to within 1/2 to 1–1/2 inches of the finished height.
• The top surface of the foundation should be scored and grooved before the concrete sets. This provides a bonding surface for the grout.
• Provide a flat, substantial concrete foundation in order to prevent strain and distortion when you tighten the foundation bolts.
• Sleeve-type and J-type foundation bolts are most commonly used. Both designs allow movement for the final bolt adjustment.
• Allow the foundation to cure for several days before you proceed with the pump installation.

7. Allow 1” for shims. Place on both sides of anchor bolts.
3. Draw anchor bolts tight against the base and observe pump and motor shafts or coupling hubs for alignment.
Temporarily remove the coupling guard for checking alignment.
4. If the alignment needs improvement, add shims or wedges at appropriate positions under the base so that retightening of anchor nuts shifts shafts into closer alignment. Repeat this procedure until a reasonable alignment is reached.
A reasonable alignment is that which is agreed upon by the pump contractor and the accepting facility. Final alignment procedures are covered in “Alignment procedures.”
14 G&L Pumps Series A-C 8300 Base Mounted Centrifugal Pump INSTRUCTION MANUAL
5. Check to make sure that the piping can be aligned to the pump flanges without placing pipe strain on either flange.
6. Grout the baseplate. See “Grout the baseplate.”
4.1.5 Grout the baseplate
Required equipment:
• Cleaners: Do not use an oil-based cleaner because the grout will not bond to it. See the instructions provided by the grout manufacturer.
• Grout: Non-shrink grout is required.
1. Clean all the areas of the baseplate that will come into contact with the grout.
2. Build a dam around the foundation.
3. Thoroughly wet the foundation that will come into contact with the grout.
4. Pour grout through the grout hole into the baseplate up to the level of the dam. When you pour the grout, remove air bubbles from it by using one of these methods:
– Puddle with a vibrator. – Pump the grout into place.
5. After the grout has thoroughly hardened, check the foundation bolts and tighten if necessary. Check alignment after tightening the bolts.
6. After the grout has dried, apply an oil base paint to the exposed edges to prevent moisture from coming in contact with the grout.
4 Installation
4.2 Coupling alignment
WARNING:
Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
Alignment guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you align the coupling:
• Only perform alignment by moving or shimming the motor.
• Make allowances for thermal expansion during cold alignment so that the coupling is aligned at operating temperature.
• Since adjustments in one direction can alter the alignment in another direction, check the alignment in all directions after you make a correction.
• Make sure that the pump and motor bolts are tight when you take all measurements.
• Perform a final alignment check after the unit reaches its final operating temperature.
• Make final alignment by moving and shimming the motor on the baseplate until the coupling hubs are within the recommended tolerances measured in total runout.
NOTICE:
Follow shaft alignment procedures in order to prevent catastrophic failure of drive components or unintended contact of rotating parts. Follow the coupling or v-belt drive installation and operation procedures from the coupling or v-belt manufacturer.
4.2.1 Prepare for alignment
1. Check the pump and motor shafts and remove any paint, burrs, and rust.
2. Slide the hubs and bushings on the shafts with keys.
3. Hold one half element on the hubs in order to determine the appropriate hub spacing.
4. If you use spacer elements with high speed rings, hold both half elements on the hubs in order to make sure the hubs do not interfere with the rings.
5. You can install the hubs with the hub extension facing in or out.

Angular Parallel
4 Installation
Make sure the shaft extends into the hubs at least 0.8 times the diameter of the shaft.
6. Lightly fasten the hubs to the shafts in order to prevent them from moving during alignment.
7. Align the hubs to the values shown in Maximum allowable misalignment for couplings. You can perform alignment with lasers, dial indicators, or with a straight edge and
calipers.
4.2.2 Align the pump using a straight edge and calipers
For standard sleeve type coupler with black rubber insert Before aligning the coupler, make sure there is at least 1/8” end clearance between the
sleeve and the two coupler halves.
1. Check the angular misalignment:
Tool Procedure
Calipers 1. Measure the outside of one flange to the outside of the opposite flange at four points 90°
apart. Do not rotate coupler. Misalignment of up to 1/64 per inch of coupler radius is permissible.
Feeler gauges
2. Check the parallel alignment: a) Place a straight edge across the two coupler halves.
b) Measure the maximum offset at four points 90° apart. Do not rotate coupler. c) Reposition the equipment until the gap is within the 1/64” permissible offset.
1. Insert feeler gauges between the coupling faces at various points around the circumference. Do not rotate the shafts.
2. Reposition the equipment until the difference between the minimum and maximum distance values is within the permissible range.
A coupling with a 3° angular misalignment will have a 0.191 in. (0.485 cm) difference in measurements between L1 and L2. This is within the 0° to 4° misalignment that is allowed for that size of coupling.

• Make sure that each hub is secured to its respective shaft and that all connecting and/or spacing elements are removed at this time.
• The gap between the coupling hubs is set by the manufacturer before the units are shipped. However, this dimension should be checked. Refer to the coupling manufacturer’s specifications supplied with the unit.
1. Check the angular misalignment: a) Mount the dial indicator base to one coupling half, or shaft.
b) Position the dial indicator button on the front face or rear face of the opposite
coupling half.
c) Mark the index lines on the coupling halves as the following Figure shows:

Figure 6: Pump alignment via dial indicator
d) Set the dial to zero. e) Rotate both coupling halves together and make sure that the index lines remain
matched.
f) Reposition the equipment until the offset is within the permissible value.
2. Check the parallel misalignment: a) Mount the dial indicator base to one coupling half, or shaft.
b) Position the dial indicator button on the outside diameter of the opposite coupling
half. c) Set the dial to zero. d) Rotate both coupling halves together and make sure that the index lines remain
matched. e) Reposition the equipment until the offset is within the permissible value. f) Assemble coupling. Tighten all bolts and set screw(s). It may be necessary to repeat
steps for a final check.
For single element couplings, a satisfactory parallel misalignment is .004” T.I.R., while a satisfactory angular misalignment is .004” T.I.R. per inch of radius R.
4.2.4 Final alignment
You cannot perform the final alignment until you initially operate the pump long enough to reach operating temperature. When the pump reaches the normal operating temperature, then secure the pump and re-check the alignment. Make sure that you compensate for temperature accordingly.
NOTICE:
Elastomeric couplings are specifically designed to accommodate angular shaft misalignment, as well as parallel offset of the pump and motor shafts. However, the amount of the offset and/or misalignment depends on the style of the applied flexible coupling. If you do not correct this coupling misalignment, there is a significant impact on the overall life of the mechanical seals and the bearings of the pump.
4.2.5 Optional alignment procedure
If desired, the pump and motor feet can be doweled to the base after final alignment is complete. This should not be done until the unit has been run for a sufficient length of time and alignment is with the tolerance. See doweling section.
NOTE: Pump may have been doweled to base at factory.
4.2.6 Dowel the pump and driving unit
1. Drill holes through diagonally opposite feet and into the base. Holes must be of a diameter 1/64 inch less then the diameter of the dowel pins.
2. Ream the holes in feet and base to the proper diameter for the pins (light push fit). Clean out the chips.
3. Insert pins to be approximately flush with feet.

4.3 Piping checklists
4.3.1 Piping checklist
WARNING:
• The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric expansion. The associated forces can cause the failure of system components and the release of high­temperature fluids. In order to prevent this, install properly sized and located compression tanks and pressure-relief valves. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death, or property damage.
• Avoid serious personal injury and property damage. Make sure that the flange bolts are adequately torqued.
• Never force piping to make a connection with a pump.
G&L Pumps Series A-C 8300 Base Mounted Centrifugal Pump INSTRUCTION MANUAL 19
4 Installation
Check Explanation/Comment
Always run piping to the pump. Do not move pump to pipe. This could make final
alignment impossible.
Check that the suction and discharge piping are supported independently near the pump and properly
This helps to avoid strain on the pump when the flange bolts are tightened.
aligned.
Check that pipe hangers or other supports are installed. Place supports at necessary intervals.
Check if expansion joints are installed correctly. When expansion joints are used in the piping system,
they must be installed beyond the piping supports closest to the pump. Tie bolts should be used with expansion joints to prevent pipe strain. Do not install expansion joints next to the pump or in any way that would cause a strain on the pump resulting in system pressure changes.
Check that pipe size is larger at pump connections. It is usually advisable to increase the size of both suction
and discharge pipes at the pump connection to decrease the loss of head from friction.
Install piping as straight as possible to avoid unnecessary bends.
Use 45 degree or long sweep 90 degree fitting to decrease friction losses.
Make sure that all piping joints are air tight.
Where flanged joints are used, assure that inside diameters match properly.
Do not “spring” piping when making any connections.
Provide for pipe expansion when hot fluids are to be pumped.
4.3.2 Suction piping checklist
The sizing and installation of the suction piping is extremely important. It must be selected and installed so that pressure losses are minimized and sufficient liquid flows into the pump when it is started and operated. Many NPSH problems can be directly attributed to improper suction piping systems.
Piping checklist
Check Explanation/comment Checked
Keep the suction piping short in length, as direct as possible, and never smaller in diameter than the pump suction opening.
Check that the elbows in the suction piping for horizontal double-suction pumps are installed per the Hydraulics Institute Standards since there is always an uneven turbulent flow around an elbow.
Check that pipe reducers on the inlet side have no more than one pipe diameter reduction in a single reducer.
When operating on a suction lift, check that the suction pipe slopes upward to the pump nozzle.
If the suction pipe is short, the pipe diameter can be the same size as the suction opening. If longer suction piping is required, pipes should be one or two sizes larger than the opening depending on piping length.
When there is an elbow in a position other than the vertical when in relation to the pump suction nozzle, this causes more liquid to enter one side of the impeller than the other. The result is highly unequalized thrust loads that overheat the bearings and cause rapid wear, which adversely affects the hydraulic performance. See the Example of unbalanced loading figure.
This avoids excessive turbulence and noise.
A horizontal suction line must have a gradual rise to the pump. Any high point in the pipe can become filled with air and prevent proper operation of the pump.

(Optional) You can install a short section of pipe adjacent to the suction flange such as Dutchman or a spool piece that is designed so that it can be readily dropped out of the line.
Example of unbalanced loading
This figure shows the unbalanced loading of a double-suction impeller due to the uneven flow around an elbow that is adjacent to the pump:

5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown
5.1 Preparation for startup
WARNING:
• Failure to follow these precautions before you start the unit will lead to serious personal injury and equipment failure.
• Do not operate the pump below the minimum rated flows or with the suction or discharge valves closed. These conditions can create an explosive hazard due to vaporization of pumped fluid and can quickly lead to pump failure and physical injury.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
• Operating the pump in reverse rotation can result in the contact of metal parts, heat generation, and breach of containment.
• Make sure that all components are properly guarded or insulated when operating at extremely high or low temperatures.
NOTICE:
• Verify the driver settings before you start any pump.
• Make sure that the warm-up rate does not exceed 2.5°F (1.4°C) per minute.
You must follow these precautions before you start the pump:
• Flush and clear the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system in order to prevent premature failure at initial startup.
• If temperatures of the pumped fluid will exceed 200°F (93°C), then warm up the pump prior to operation. Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing temperature is within 100°F (38°C) of the fluid temperature.
At initial startup, do not adjust the variable-speed drivers or check for speed governor or over-speed trip settings while the variable-speed driver is coupled to the pump. If the settings have not been verified, then uncouple the unit and refer to instructions supplied by the driver manufacturer.
5.1.1 Pre-start checks
Before initial start of the pump, make the following inspections:
1. Check alignment between pump and motor.
2. Check all connections to motor and starting device with wiring diagram. Check voltage, phase, and frequency on motor nameplate with line circuit.
3. Check suction and discharge piping and pressure gauges for proper operation.
4. Check impeller adjustment, see specific section for proper adjustment.
5. Turn rotating element by hand to assure that it rotates freely.
6. Check driver lubrication.
7. Assure that pump bearings are properly lubricated.
8. Assure that coupling is properly lubricated, if required.
G&L Pumps Series A-C 8300 Base Mounted Centrifugal Pump INSTRUCTION MANUAL 23
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown
9. Assure that pump is full of liquid (see priming) and all valves are properly set and operational, with the discharge valve closed, and the suction valve open.
10.Check rotation. Be sure that the driver operates in the direction indicated by the arrow on the pump casing as serious damage can result if the pump is operated with incorrect rotation. Check rotation each time the motor leads have been disconnected.
5.1.2 Priming
Type of installation Procedure
Positive head on the suction Open the suction and vent valve and allow the liquid to enter the
casing.
Suction lift Use other methods such as foot valves, ejectors or by manually filling
the casing and suction line.
5.1.3 Starting
1. Close drain valves and valve in discharge line.
2. Open fully all valves in the suction line.
3. Prime the pump. NOTE: If the pump does not prime properly, or loses prime during start-up, it should
be shut down and the condition corrected before the procedure is repeated.
4. When the pump is operating at full speed, open the discharge valve slowly. This should be done after start-up to prevent damage to pump by operating at zero flow.
5.1.4 Operating checks
1. Check the pump and piping to assure that there are no leaks.
2. Check and record pressure gauge readings for future reference.
3. Check and record voltage, amperage per phase, and kw if an indicating wattmeter is available.
4. Check bearings for lubrication and temperature. Normal temperature is 180°F maximum.
5. Make all pump output adjustments with the discharge line.
CAUTION:
• Do not throttle the suction line to adjust the pump output.
• Do not let heated pump temperature rise above 150°F.
5.1.5 Check the rotation
WARNING:
• Operating the pump in reverse rotation can result in the contact of metal parts, heat generation, and breach of containment.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
CAUTION:
Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to mechanical seal. If you run a mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, this can cause seal damage. Physical injury can occur if a mechanical seal fails.
1. Unlock power to the driver.
2. Make sure that everyone is clear, and then jog the driver long enough to determine that the direction of rotation corresponds to the arrow on the pump.
3. Lock out power to the driver.

NOTICE:
Do not expose an idle pump to freezing conditions. Drain all liquid that is inside the pump and connected pipes. Failure to do so can cause liquid to freeze and damage the pump.
Pumps that are shut down during freezing conditions should be protected by one of the following methods:
• Drain the pump; remove all liquids from the casing.
• Keep fluid moving in the pump and insulate or heat the pump to prevent freezing.
5.1.7 Change the rotation
The pump can be operated left hand or right hand when viewed from the pump end of the pump. If you wish to reverse the suction and discharge nozzles, this can be accomplished with the same pump as follows. IMPORTANT: Refer to the disassembly and assembly procedures in this manual for proper disassembly and assembly techniques.
1. Remove the impeller from the shaft, turn it 180° and replace it on the shaft. Note: Impeller can only come off from the outboard end.
2. With the rotating element out of the casing, remove the casing from the bedplate and turn 180°.
3. Set the rotating element back in the casing and reassemble the pump.
– The impeller and casing are in the same relationship to each other as they were
originally. The shaft and motor are also in the same relationship to each other as they were originally.
4. Reassemble pump and realign the coupling as called for in the alignment procedures.
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown
WARNING:
Never operate a pump without a properly installed coupling guard. Personal injury will occur if you run the pump without a coupling guard.
5. The rotation of the motor must be changed by switching the motor leads.
– Unless the motor rotation is reversed, the impeller will run backward.

6.1 Maintenance schedule
CAUTION:
Shorten the inspection intervals if the pumped liquid is abrasive or corrosive, or if the environment is classified as potentially explosive.
NOTICE:
This timetable assumes that the unit has been constantly monitored after startup. Adjust the timetable for any extreme or unusual applications or conditions.
Monthly inspections
Check the bearing temperature with a thermometer. Do not check the temperature by hand. If the bearings are running over 180°F (82°C), then there is too much or too little lubricant.
If changing the lubricant or adjusting to the proper level does not correct the condition, then disassemble and inspect the bearings.

figures of the last test. This is especially important where the pumped liquid tends to form a deposit on internal surfaces.
• Inspect foot valves and check valves. A faulty foot or check valve will cause poor performance. The check valve safeguards against water hammer when the pump stops.
6.2 Flood-damaged pumps
If the pump is properly sealed at all joints and connected to both suction and discharge, then it will exclude outside liquid. Therefore, it is only necessary to service the bearings, stuffing box, and coupling after flood damage.
Perform the following service on a centrifugal pump after a flooded condition:
• Dismantle the frame, and then inspect the bearings for any rusted or badly worn surfaces. Clean as necessary. If the bearings are free from rust and wear, then reassemble and relubricate them with one of the recommended lubricants. Depending on the length of time the pump has remained in the flooded area, it is unlikely that bearing replacement is necessary. Only replace the bearings if rust or worn surfaces appear.
• Inspect the stuffing box and clean out any foreign matter that will clog the box. Clean and thoroughly flush mechanical seals.
• Dismantle and thoroughly clean the couplings. Lubricate the couplings where required with one of the lubricants recommended by the coupling manufacturer.

6.3.1 Regrease the grease-lubricated bearings
It is important to lubricate pumps and motors that require regreasing with the proper grease. See the motor service instructions and nameplate for motor regreasing information. Pumps are to be regreased using the grease types listed below or approved equal. Always keep pump and motor properly lubricated.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the grease container, the greasing device, and the fittings are clean. Failure to do this can result in impurities entering the bearing housing when you regrease the bearings.
First lubrication, replacement bearings
Hand pack bearings before pressing on the shaft. After bearing frame assembly, follow relube instructions to lube bearings.
Lubrication interval, pump, polyurea-based grease, operating hours
• 3600 hours, 2 pole
• 7200 hours, 4 pole
• 50% for severe conditions: dirty, wet and/or above 100°F (38°C) ambient
• 50% for bearing frame temperature above 180°F (82°C)
• 75% for lithium-based grease
1. With fully enclosed coupling guards, regrease pump while pump is running. a) With old style open ended guards, stop pump, re-grease, and hand turn shaft
before re-starting.
2. Wipe dirt from the grease fittings before greasing.
3. Fill both of the grease cavities through the fittings with the recommended grease. Stop when grease leaks out at shaft.
28 G&L Pumps Series A-C 8300 Base Mounted Centrifugal Pump INSTRUCTION MANUAL
4. If needed, stop pump and wipe off excess grease.
5. Restart pump.
The bearing temperature usually rises after you regrease due to an excess supply of grease. Temperatures return to normal in about two to four operating hours as the pump runs and purges the excess grease from the bearings. Maximum normal bearing housing temperature for polyurea-based grease is 225°F (107°C) and for lithium-based grease 180°F (82°C).
6.3.2 Lubricating grease requirements
NOTICE:
• Never mix greases of different consistencies (NLGI 1 or 3 with NLGI 2) or with different thickeners. For example, never mix a lithium-based grease with a polyurea-based grease. This can result in decreased performance.
• Remove the bearings and old grease if you need to change the grease type or consistency. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or decreased performance.

6.4 Shaft-seal maintenance
6.4.1 Mechanical seal maintenance
Keep in mind the following general rules regarding mechanical seal maintenance. Refer to the instructions provided by the seal manufacturer for detailed information.
• Mechanical seals are precision products that must be treated with care. Use special care when handling seals. Make sure that oil and parts are clean in order to prevent scratching the finely lapped sealing faces. Even light scratches on these faces can result in leaky seals.
• Mechanical seals typically require no adjustment or maintenance except for routine replacement of worn or broken parts.
• A used mechanical seal should not be put back into service unless the sealing faces have been replaced or relapped. Relapping is practical only for seals that are 2 in. (5.1 cm) or larger.
For optimum seal life, always follow these precautions:
• Keep the seal faces as clean as possible.
• Keep the seal as cool as possible.
• Make sure the seal always has proper lubrication.
• If the seal is lubricated with filtered fluid, then clean the filter frequently.
6.5 Cleaning without dismantling the pump
A short section of pipe so designed that it can be readily dropped out of the line can be installed adjacent to the suction flange. With this arrangement, any matter clogging the impeller is accessible by removing the pipe section.
If the pump cannot be freed of clogging after the above methods have been tried, dismantle the unit as previously described to locate the trouble.

6.6 Disassembly
6.6.1 Disassembly precautions
This manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must be adhered to.
WARNING:
• Make sure that the pump is isolated from the system and that pressure is relieved before you disassemble the pump, remove plugs, open vent or drain valves, or disconnect the piping.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
• Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be heavy. Use proper lifting methods and wear steel-toed shoes at all times.
NOTICE:
Make sure that all replacement parts are available before you disassemble the pump for overhaul.
6.6.2 Drain the pump
CAUTION:
• Allow all system and pump components to cool before you handle them to prevent physical injury.
1. Close the isolation valves on the suction and discharge sides of the pump. You must drain the system if no valves are installed.
2. Open the drain valve. Do not proceed until liquid stops coming out of the drain valve. If liquid continues to
flow from the drain valve, the isolation valves are not sealing properly and you must repair them before you proceed.
3. Leave the drain valve open and remove the drain plug located on the bottom of the pump housing.
Do not reinstall the plug or close the drain valve until the reassembly is complete.
4. Drain the liquid from the piping and flush the pump if it is necessary.
5. Disconnect all auxiliary piping and tubing.
6.6.3 Remove the hex coupling guard
1. Remove the two capscrews that hold the outer (motor side) coupling guard to the support brackets.
2. Spread the outer guard apart and pull it off the inner guard. Do not spread the outer and inner guards more than necessary to remove the guard. It
could alter their fit and appearance.
3. Remove the capscrew that holds the inner guard to the support bracket.
4. Spread the inner guard apart and pull it over the coupling.

6.6.4 Replace the mechanical seals and bearings without removing the upper half of the casing
WARNING:
• Always disconnect and lock out power before servicing to prevent unexpected startup. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
• Extreme temperature hazard: Allow pump temperatures to reach acceptable levels before proceeding. Open drain valve, do not proceed until liquid stops coming out of the drain valve. If liquid does not stop flowing from drain valve, isolation valves are not sealing and should be repaired before proceeding. After liquid stops flowing from drain valve, leave drain valve open and continue. Remove the drain plug located on the bottom of the pump housing. Do not reinstall plug or close drain valve until reassembly is completed. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage and/or moderate personal injury.
1. Close valves on suction and discharge sides of pump. If no valves have been installed, it will be necessary to drain the system.
2. Remove the coupler guard. For spacer coupler, loosen the capscrews which secure the coupler flanges to the coupler hubs. Remove the coupler flanges and sleeves by compressing the flanges and pulling out from beneath the hubs or by loosening the allen set screws and sliding the hubs back on the shaft.

1. Press the stationary mechanical seal seat into the gland plate until it bottoms out against the bore. Lightly lubricate the bore to ease assembly. (See photo below)
2. Press a new lip seal into the gland plate. Before installing the lip seal, lubricate the lip­seal with lightweight oil.
NOTE: Lip seals should sit against the machined shoulder in the gland plate. The lip seal should face away from the mechanical seal seat (see photo below)
3. Lubricate and roll the O-ring into the grove in the gland plate. IMPORTANT: Steps 4 and 5 must be completed within 10 to 12 minutes to assure
proper placement of the mechanical seals.
4. Lightly coat the outboard end of the pump shaft with P-80 Rubber Lubricant Emulsion, vegetable oil, or equal and slide the mechanical seal head onto the shaft. Do not compress the seal spring at this time.
CAUTION:
Use a flashlight and make sure the mechanical seal spring is searing properly into the spring holder and around the bellows of the mechanical seal before continuing.
5. Slide the gland plate, over the shaft, being careful that the head and the seat of the mechanical seal do not get damaged. Then press the gland plate with the O-ring into the stuffing box and tighten the socket-head capscrews.
NOTE: Because of the compression of the O-ring, it may be difficult to press the O-ring into the stuffing box. Use longer socket-head capscrews to start the gland plate into the stuffing box. Draw-up the bolts evenly until the gland plate is secure in the stuffing box. To prevent the mechanical seal spring from pushing the gland plate back out of the stuffing box. Remove one long socket-head capscrew at a time and replace with a regular socket-head screw.

9. Install the locknut and lockwasher on the outboard end of the shaft. Make certain that the locknut is secure and bend over the tabs on the lockwasher. (See photo below)
10.Allow the bearing to cool to room temperature. Coat the exposed sides of the bearing with two or three ounces of recommended grease.
11.Coat the inside of the bearing housing with grease and slide it into place over the bearing. Alternately tighten the bearing housing capscrews so as not to “cock” the bearing housing causing bearing to bind.
12.Repeat steps 1 thru 11 for the inboard. Note: a locknut and lockwasher are not installed on the inboard end of the pump shaft.
13.Reinstall the coupler and check for alignment, following the instructions found in the “Coupling Alignment” section of this manual.
6.9.2 Reassembly of the pump when it is required to remove the rotating element
NOTE: All bearing, O-rings, lip-seals, mechanical seals, gaskets, impeller rings, and casing rings should be replaced with new parts during assembly. All reusable parts should be cleaned of all foreign matter before reassembling. The main casing joint gasket can be made using the upper and lower half as a template. Lay the gasket material on the casing joint. Trim the gasket by lightly tapping with a peen hammer so it is flush with the inside edges of the casing (do not hit casing edge with hammer hard enough to round edge.
NOTE: Precut-casing gaskets can be ordered to minimize the amount of trimming.

6 Maintenance
1. Before assembling the rotating element prepare the casing and install the casing gaskets to the parting line.
2. Clean the gasket surfaces of the casing. Apply Scotch 3M-77 spray adhesive or equivalent to the lower half of the casing.
3. Within one minute of spraying, set the untrimmed gaskets in place on the lower half of the casing, align the holes in the gaskets with the holes in the casing, and press the gaskets firmly against the lower half of the casing face in the area coated by the adhesive.
4. Trim the gaskets flush with the lower casing bores, see photo below.
CAUTION:
Machined casing bores must remain sharp at the casing parting line. Gaskets must be flush with the bore in order to contact O-rings. Leakage can result around the stuffing box O-ring if this step is not followed properly.
5. Assemble the impeller key in the shaft key slot. Note: For impeller with replaceable rings, heat each new ring (approximately
300°F-400°F for bronze) and slide onto the impeller. Using gloves hold rings against the impeller shoulder until cool.
6. Check the impeller and casing to determine the correct relationship. Heat the impeller evenly to 300°F maximum to expand the bore. (Impeller may be pressed onto the shaft instead of heating if a suitable press is available, see photo below)
7. Using gloves, from the outboard end, slide the impeller on the shaft against the shaft shoulder, and install the retaining ring.
8. Lubricate and roll an O-ring into the grove in each of the casing rings. Then slide the casing rings over the impeller.
9. Thoroughly clean the gland plates and stuffing boxes to prevent dirt from entering the seal during the startup.

10.Press the stationary mechanical seal seats into both of the gland plates. Lightly lubricate the gland plates to ease assembly. See photo below.
11.Press new lip seals into the gland plates. Before installing the lip seals, lubricate the lip seals with lightweight oil.
NOTE: Lip seals should sit against the machined shoulder in the gland plates. The lip seals should face away from the mechanical seal set. See photo below.
12.Lubricate and roll the O-rings into the grooves in each of the gland plate.
13.Press the gland plates into the stuffing boxes and secure using the socket-head capscrews.
NOTE: Because of the compression of the O-ring, it may be difficult to press the O-ring into the stuffing box. Use longer socket-head capscrews to start the gland plate into the stuffing box. To prevent the mechanical seal spring from pushing the gland plate back out of the stuffing box, remove one long socket-head capscrews at time and replace with a regular socket-head capscrew.
14.Lubricate and roll the O-rings into the groove in each stuffing box. NOTE: At this point reassemble the rotating element by starting on the outboard end
first (the end opposite the coupling) as this end locates the settings of the mechanical seal.
IMPORTANT: Steps 11 through 21 must be completed, on the outboard end, within 10 to 12 minutes to assure proper placement of the mechanical seals.
15.Lightly coat the outboard end of the pump shaft with P-80 Rubber Lubricant Emulsion, vegetable oil, Or equal and slide the mechanical seal head onto the shaft) See photo below.

22.Coat the inside of the bearing housing with grease and slide it into place over the bearing. Attach the bearing housing to the stuffing box with the capscrews.
23.Repeat steps 15 through 22 for inboard end. IMPORTANT: Steps 15 through 25 must be completed within 10 to 12 minutes to
assure proper placement of the mechanical seal. NOTE: A locknut and lockwasher are not installed on the inboard end of the pump
shaft.
24.Reinstall the coupler on the end of the shaft.
25.Set the rotating element in the pump casing, assuring correct rotation. Locate both stuffing box tongues in their respective casing grooves. Locate the pins in the stuffing box and casing wear ring in their respective slots at the casing parting surface. Correct any O-ring bulging. See photo below
CAUTION:
Do not cut or damage the O-rings when lowering the rotating element into position. When all four anti-rotation pins are located correctly, there will be some casing ring looseness.
26.Apply a small bead of Dow Corning RTV silicone sealant or equal at the parting line on top of gasket at the stuffing box O-rings. See photo below.

6.9.4 Assembly references
6.9.4.1 Ordering parts
The pumps covered by this manual have been designed and built with certain replaceable wearing parts. The recommended inventory of spare parts depends upon the installation and the importance of continued operation.
For critical service requiring a minimum of “down time” a complete or “quick change” rotating element is recommended.
For normal service, with repairs to be made in the field, the following parts are recommended for stock.
• 1 set of bearings
• 1 set of wearing rings
• 1 set of gaskets, O-rings, and grease seals
• 2 mechanical seals (complete)
• 1 set of shaft sleeves
Parts should be ordered as far in advance of their use as possible since circumstances beyond the control of the company may reduce existing stock. Not all parts are stocked and must be manufactured for each order.
To facilitate rapid handling of your order for spare parts, be sure to include the following information:
1. Serial number of the pump.
2. Catalog number of the part.
3. Quantity of each part.
4. Name of the part.
5. Material desired. (Parts will be furnished in original materials unless specified as a material change. All material substitutions should be discussed with the factory.
Insert the spacer washer between the holes located closest to the motor in the outer guard and install the two remaining capscrews.
Do not tighten the capscrews.
