Gusher Pumps Pump CL8×10

Measure and record the discharge pressure

Measure and record the flow rate

Measure and record the motor amp draw

Describe the location of the pressure gauge in relation to the liquid level

Verify if the mounting plate height is at least 1" above the highest possible liquid level and securely mounted

Check if the liquid level is at least 2" above the point at which the shaft exits the top of the pump end

Test if the shaft rotation is clockwise when viewed from the top by momentarily energizing the motor

Disconnect coupling (#32) and remove sleeve (#32a)

Loosen three locking screws (#57)

Loosen three adjusting screws (#55)

Lightly tap shaft (#1) until impeller bottoms on the intake flange

Tighten three adjusting screws by hand until they touch ball bearing housing

Tighten three adjusting screws just up to the point where the shaft turns freely; then tighten each screw an additional ¼ turn

Tighten locking screws (#57) and jamb nuts (#56)

Ensure the following precautions are taken

Remove relief from back of ball bearing housing

Fill with grease until fresh grease flows from opening

Is an automatic lubrication system being used?

Place reliefs in the tapped hole (1/8" N.P.T.) if automatic lubrication system is used

MAINTENANCE — Coupling Alignment

Check coupling alignment at specified intervals

Adjust Lateral Parallel Misalignment

Adjust Horizontal Parallel Misalignment

Adjust Lateral Angular Misalignment

Adjust Horizontal Angular Misalignment

MAINTENANCE — Lubrication / START UP

Check ball bearing temperature using a pyrometer

Is the ball bearing temperature below 225°F?

Note if bearings seem to run tight and hot upon initial startup

Confirm if the pump operates normally after approximately 150 hours of service
