2.3 Safety Instructions for the Operator / Worker
Depending on the operating conditions, wear and
tear, corrosion or age will limit the working life of the pump/pump unit, and its specified characteristics. The operator must ensure that regular inspection and maintenance are carried out so that all parts are replaced in good time, which would otherwise endanger the safe operation of the system. If abnormal operation or any damage is observed, the pump must cease operation immediately.
If the breakdown or failure of any system or unit
could lead to people being hurt or property being damaged, such system or unit must be provided with alarm devices and/or spare modules, and they should be tested regularly to ensure that they function properly.
If there is any risk of injury from hot or cold
machine parts, these parts must be protected against contact by the user, or suitable warning signs must be affixed.
Contact protection on moving parts (e.g. coupling
guards) must not be removed from systems that are in operation.
If the sound level of a pump or pump unit is above
85 dB(A) an ear protection has to be used when staying near the pump for some time.
If dangerous media (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) leak
out (e.g. from shaft seals), these must be directed away so that there is no danger to people or the environment. The provisions of the law must be observed.
Measures should be taken to exclude any danger
from electricity (e.g. by complying with the local regulations on electrical equipment). If work is carried out on live electrical components, they

2.4 Safety Instructions for Maintenance, Inspections and Mounting Work
The operator is responsible that any maintenance,
inspections and mounting work is made by authorized competent personnel, which must be informed by having read the Operating Instructions.
Basically, all work on the pump or pump unit
should only be carried out when the pump is stationary and not under pressure. All parts must be allowed to return to ambient temperature. Make sure that no-one can start the motor during such work. It is essential that the procedure for stopping the system described in the Operating Instructions is observed. Pumps or pump systems that carry media that are dangerous to health must be decontaminated before being taken apart. Safety Data Sheets for the various liquids handled. Immediately after finishing work, all safety and protective devices must be replaced or restarted.
2.5 Unauthorized Alteration and Spare Parts Production
Alteration or changes of the machine are permitted after agreement with the manufacturer. Original spare parts and accessory authorized by the manufacturer are serving the safety. The use of other parts can lead to loss of liability for there from resulting consequences.

Attention must especially be paid to the NPSH-value on pumping liquids near the vapour pressure. If the NPSH-value of the pump remains under, this can lead from damage of the material due to cavitations to destruction by overheating. The NPSH-value of the pump (NPSHR) is shown in the curves of every pump type.
2.8.4 Sealing, Flushing, Cooling
Suitable provisions for the regulation and monitoring of sealing, flushing or cooling are to be provided. When handling dangerous liquids or if temperatures are high, care should be taken to ensure that the pump ceases operating if the sealing, flushing or cooling system fails. Sealing, flushing and cooling systems must always be operational before the pump is started up. They should not be taken out of operation until the pump has stopped, provided that the nature of the operation allows this at all.
2.8.5 Back Flow
In systems where pumps are operating in closed circuits under pressure (gas cushions, steam pressure), the pressure of the gas cushion must not be reduced via the pump, since the back flow speed may be much higher than the operating speed, which would destroy the unit.

The pump / pump unit must be transported
carefully and by competent personnel. Avoid serious impacts.
Keep the pump/pump unit in the same position in
which it was supplied from the factory. Take note of the instructions on the packaging.
The suction and discharge side of the pump must
be closed with plugs during transport and storage.
Lifting devices (e.g. fork-lift truck, crane, crane
device, pulleys, sling ropes, etc.) must be sufficiently strong and must only be used by authorized persons. The weight of the pump / pump unit is given in the data sheet.
The pump / pump unit may only be lifted by solid

4.2 Storage / Conservation
Pumps or units, which are stored over a longer period before start-up (max. 6 months), must be protected from moisture, vibrations and dirt (e.g. by wrapping in

oil paper or plastic). Pumps must basically be stored in a place where they are protected from the weather, e.g. under dry cover. During this time, all suction and discharge branches and all other intakes and outlets must be closed with dummy flanges or plugs. For longer periods of storage conservation measurements at machined surfaces and packing with moisture protection can be necessary!
5.1 Mounting of Pump / Unit
5.1.1 Mounting of pump on a base frame
The pump and motor (= pump unit) must be provided with a base frame made of steel or cast iron or a fabricated (welded) frame, where this does not exist already or if it is not included in the delivery. This base frame must be placed on a foundation which can withstand all loads that arise during operation (refer to chapter 5.1.2).
When mounting the pump onto the base frame the following must to be noticed: The base frame must be solid, so that there won’t
occur any twists or vibrations during the operation.
The mounting surfaces of the pump feet and
motor on the base frame must be flat (machining is recommended). Bracing of the pump leads to premature breakdown of the pump and to a loss of warranty.
The drillings for the pump mounting must be in
such a way, that safe fastening is guaranteed.
Between pump and motor shaft an adequate
space must be left depending on the used coupling, refer to chapter 5.3.
Between pump and base frame there must be an
adequate shimming, so that in the case of replacement of the pump the equal height between bottom and centreline can be adjusted (recommended vertical adjustment 4 to 6 mm).
Align pump and motor, refer to chapter 5.3, as
well.
5.1.2. Mounting the unit to a foundation
The place, where the pump is mounted must be prepared acc. to the dimensions of the dimensional drawings. The concrete foundations should have sufficient firmness acc. to DIN 1045 or equal standard (min. BN 15), to ensure a secure, functional mounting. The concrete foundation must have set, before the unit is erected. Its surface must be horizontal and even.

etc.
For the set of anchor bolts according recesses
must be provided. If that is not the case, concrete expansion bolts resp. epoxy capsule anchor bolts can be used.
When mounting the pump on the foundation it
must be adjusted at the discharge nozzle by means of a spirit-level (at discharge nozzle). The permitted deviation is 0,2 mm/m. After inserting the foundation bolts they must be cast in the foundation with concrete. After setting of the grout the coupling alignment must be checked according chapter 5.3.1 and possible misalignments must be corrected by adjusting foundation frame in the area of the drive motor. The smoothness of the base frame must be 0,2 mm/m before it is filled up resp. fastened. For adjustment levelling shims or levelling screws (optional, not delivered standard wise) can be used. Levelling shims must be inserted next to the foundation anchors and must lie plainly. After that fasten foundation bolts symmetrically but only slightly. Fill in base frame with non shrinking grout.
Notice:
Avoid air bubbles (e.g. by vibrating).  Check that the grout has properly set and
hardened.
Take care for the after-treatment of the concrete
acc. to DIN 1045.
After setting, tighten the foundation anchor evenly and firmly. Check alignment of coupling acc. to chapter
5.3.1 and re-adjust, if necessary. Further, check that all screws between pump / motor and the base frame fit snugly. Although the original LS- resp. LCP-base frames are designed solidly, the grouting of the adjusted base frames is absolutely necessary.
If vibrations are transmitted to the foundation from
adjoining components, it must be guarded through adequate vibration damping padding (vibrations from outside can impair the bearing).
To prevent vibrations being transmitted to
adjoining components, the foundation should be laid on a suitable insulating base.

5.2.1 Suction and discharge pipe
The pipes must be of a size and design that liquid
can flow freely into the pump and that the pump functions without problems. Particular attention is to be paid to ensuring that suction pipes are airtight and that the NPSH values are observed. Under suction lift condition lays the suction pipe in the horizontal section towards the pump so that it is slightly inclined upwards so that no air traps occur. Under positive suction head condition install the suction pipe work slightly declined towards the pump. Do not install fittings or elbows right before the suction nozzle.
If the suction supply is under vacuum and
entrained gas may be present in the liquid, it is recommended that a vent line be considered upstream of the pump suction with return to the suction supply, above the max liquid level.
An additional flushed piping - discharge branch-
vent line - makes it easier to de-aerate the pump before start-up (pic 3).
Model LS, LC, LCP
If the pipe system is tested with the pump
installed, do not exceed the maximum permitted casing pressure of the pump and/or shaft sealing (see data sheet).
When emptying the pipe after the pressure test,
make sure that the pump is treated properly (danger of rust and problems when starting up).
In the case of pumps with stuffing boxes, replace
packing after pressure test (packing may be over­compressed and thus no longer suitable for use).
5.2.2 Additional connections
Any required sealing, flushing or cooling pipe connections must be installed. Please consult the data sheet to see which pipes, pressures and amounts are necessary. The position and size of connections to the pump are given in the appendix, "Connections".

It is recommended that a pipeline is installed to take off any leakage from the shaft seal. For connection, see appendix, "Connections".
5.3 Coupling
during work on the coupling.
pic 3 When laying the pipes, make sure that the pump
is accessible for maintenance, installation and disassembly.
Notice "Permitted Forces on Flanges" (chapter
3.5).
If expansion joints are used in the pipes, they
have to be supported in such a way that the pump is not loaded unduly high because of the pressure in the pipes.
Before connecting up to pump: remove protective
coverings from suction and discharge branches.
Before starting up, the pipe system, fittings and
equipment must be cleaned to remove weld spatter, scale etc. Any pollutants are to be completely removed from pump units that are directly or indirectly connected to drinking water systems before being installed and taken into use.
To protect the shaft sealing (especially mechanical
seals) against foreign impurities, it is recommended that a sieve, 800 micron, is installed in the suction/intake pipe when the motor is being started up.

6.1 Initial start-up
Before starting up the pump, check, if the following points were controlled and carried out: If pump is oil lubricated, first open oil drain (AS)
and drain off any liquid that may have collected (e.g. condensation). Close oil drain (AS) and fill oil as described in chapter 6.5.1.
For pumps with grease lubrication, no further
lubrication is needed before initial start-up.
Pump and suction pipe must be filled completely
with liquid when starting up.
Turn pump unit once again by hand and check
that it moves smoothly and evenly.
Check that coupling guard is installed and that all
safety devices are operational.
Switch on any sealing, flushing or cooling devices
that are provided. See data sheet for quantity and pressure.
Open valve in suction /intake pipe.  Set discharge side valve to approx. 25% of rated
flow quantity. With pumps with a discharge branch rated width less than 200, the valve can remain closed when starting up.

6.5.2 Grease lubrication
For quality of grease refer to chapter 7.4.2. For quantity of grease refer to chapter 7.4.2.
The bearings are already filled with lithium based
grease at the factory and are thus ready for use.
The grease provided is suitable for a temperature
range from -30° to +90°C (measured at surface of bearing bracket).

6.5.3 Bearing temperature
Bearing temperature (measured at bearing
bracket) should lie max. 50°C over ambient temperature and must not exceed 90°C, control weekly at least. On grease lubrication the bearing temperature can temporarily be higher by 5-10°C after regreasing, till a possible surplus of grease in the bearings is cut.
6.6 Monitoring
recom bear bracket.
Regular monitoring and maintenance will ex the life of your pump or pump system.
Check oil level at least once a week and top up if
necessary.
Check pump for leaks at least once a week.  On packing, check quantity of leakage at least
once a week (see chapter 6.2 section "Packing").
Check the regulating and monitoring devices of
any sealing, flushing or cooling systems once a week to ensure that they function properly. Outgoing cooling water should be hand warm.
With double mechanical seals, monitor pressure
and flow rate in mechanical seal area; check at least once a week.
Pumps which are exposed to corrosive chemicals
or to wear through abrasion must be inspected periodically for corrosion or wear and tear. The first inspection should be carried out after six months. All further inspection intervals should be determined on the basis of the state of the pump.
6.7 Shutting down
Close the valve in discharge pipe right before
(max. 30 seconds) switching off the motor. This is not necessary if there is a spring-loaded check valve.
Switch off motor (make sure it runs down quietly).  Close the valve on suction side.  Close auxiliary systems. Do not shut down cooling
system until pump has cooled down.
If there is any risk of freezing, empty pump,
cooling areas and pipes completely.
Model LS, LC, LCP
If the pump also remains under operating
conditions (pressure and temperature) when stationary, leave all sealing, flushing and cooling systems switched on.
The shaft sealing must remain sealed if there is a
risk of air being sucked in (in the event of supply from vacuum systems or parallel operation with shared suction pipe).
6.8 Storage / longer periods of non­operation
6.8.1 Storage of new pumps
If the putting into operation shall happen a longer period after the delivery, we recommend the following measures for the storage of the pump:
Store pump at a dry place.  Rotate pump by hand at least once a month.
6.8.2 Measures for longer putting out of operation
Pump remains installed and in ready for operation: Test runs of 5 min. duration must be made in
regular intervals. The span between the test runs is depending on the plant. However, it should be made once a week, at least.
6.8.3 Longer periods of non-operation
hardened; these must be replaced before start­up. When starting up for the first time (see chapter 6)!
a) Filled pumps
Switch stand-by pumps on and immediately off
again once a week. Possibly use as main pump.
If the stand-by pump is at operating pressure and
temperature, leave all sealing, flushing and cooling systems switched on.
Replace oil or grease after 2 years.  Stuffing box must be adjusted to maintain
lubrication of the packing (e.g. do not over tighten).
b) Drained pumps
Turn shaft at least 1x week (do not switch on
because of dry running).

7.5 Coupling
Check the clearance in the coupling components regularly approx. every 1000 operating hours, but at least 1x year, the radial clearance in the coupling parts must be checked. For couplings with rubber pads the following applies: Unless a clearance in the couplings is necessary, the coupling pads may wear out to approximately ¼ of their usual thickness, before they have to be changed. For the measurement of the clearance in the coupling place a mark on the O.D. of each coupling hub (see following pic). Then fix one hub, turn the opposite hub as far as possible. Then measure the distance (SV) between the marks of the coupling. If this measure exceeds the value given in the chart, the packing must be replaced. It must be replaced in sets.

The manufacturer's Customer Service Department is available to help repair faults that the operator cannot or does not want to repair. If the operator repairs or changes the pump, the design data on the Data Sheet and chapter 2 of these Operating Instructions should be particularly taken into account. If necessary, the written agreement of the manufacturer must be obtained.

Cause
Temperature at the bearing too high
Pump leaking
Leakage rate at shaft sealing too high
Back-pressure too low, discharge too low throttle discharge valve
Flow too big reduce flow (throttle discharge valve)
Inner components suffering from wear replace worn parts
Stuffing box not straight tighten evenly
Lines and roughness on shaft or shaft sleeve replace parts
Unsuitable packing material use suitable material (check shaft or shaft sleeve for damage
Deposits on mechanical seal
Impeller out of balance
Coupling not aligned align pump unit better
Coupling distance too small change
Forces in pipeline too high (pump unit under strain) change (support pipes, use compensators, etc.)
Too much, too little or the wrong type of lubricant change
Sealing insufficient tighten screws
Bearing damaged replace
Relief fittings insufficient
Solution check facility for pollution, open discharge valve
reduce resistance in discharge pipe (e.g. clean filter if necessary) use larger impeller (note available motor power)
