Peerless Pump Company Vertical Turbine Industrial Pumps Open Line Shaft 10LB

To ensure satisfactory operation of the pumping equipment, frequent inspection and periodic maintenance are required.

An inspection and maintenance log should be kept and the inspector is to immediately report any problems.

A suggested guide for preventative maintenance for normal applications is given below.

Unusual applications with abnormal heat, moisture, dust, etc., may require more frequent inspection and service.

Warning: Drain the pump and isolate pipework before dismantling the pump.

Warning: There may be occasions when a part such as the impeller has either been shrunk-fit onto the pump shaft or has become difficult to remove due to products that are corrosive in nature.

If you elect to use heat to remove the part, it must be applied with great care. Before applying heat, ensure any residual hazardous liquid trapped between the two parts is thoroughly drained out to prevent an explosion or emission of toxic vapour. Impeller design varies and so does the amount heat and the duration of heat application required to loosen the impeller.

Contact Peerless Pump for help in removal of impellers.

1. Clear a large area adjacent to the pump as a storage space for pump parts as they are dismantled.

2. Arrange parallel timbers on the ground in the cleared area to support the pump column and shaft sections horizontally.

3. Disconnect the discharge pipe from the discharge head.

4. If the driver is equipped with an oil-cooling system, remove the external tubing or piping used for this purpose.

5. On pumps equipped with an air-pressure water level testing system, remove the gauge and disconnect the tubing connection inside the discharge head. Some pumps have this connection below the base, in which case the tubing will be disconnected later.
