2.3.2 Pump storage requirements

Ensure the unit is stored free from heat, dirt, and vibrations

Rotate the shaft by hand several times

6.2.5 Lubricate the bearings after a shutdown period

Flush out the bearings and bearing frame with a light oil to remove contaminants.

Rotate the shaft slowly by hand during flushing.

Flush the bearing housing with the proper lubricating oil to ensure oil quality after cleaning.

Perform alignment checks under these circumstances

Enter the Total Indicated Reading (T.I.R.) at operating temperature

Enter the tolerance of the indicator

4.3.3 Alignment measurement guidelines

Rotate the pump coupling half and the driver coupling half together so that the indicator rods have contact with the same points on the driver coupling half.

Move or shim only the driver to make adjustments.

Are the hold-down bolts for the driver tight when taking indicator measurements?

Are the hold-down bolts for the driver loose before making alignment corrections?

Flush and clean the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system.

Will the temperatures of the pumped fluid exceed 93°C | 200°F?

Warm up the pump prior to operation if fluid temperatures exceed 93°C | 200°F.

Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing temperature is within 38°C | 100°F of the fluid temperature.

Flow fluid from pump inlet to discharge drain for warm-up.

Soak for 2 hours at process fluid temperature.

Bring variable-speed drivers to the rated speed as quickly as possible.

Ensure set screws in the seal locking ring are tightened and centering clips removed.

Verify re-lubrication intervals by speed

Enter the actual operating speed (rpm)

Enter the grease quantity for suction side (oz)

Enter the grease quantity for discharge side (oz)

Lubricating-grease requirements

Is the temperature of pumped fluid less than 177°C | 350°F?

Was the rotor and old grease removed before regreasing, if changing grease type or consistency?
