!DANGER: Danger due to collision, crushing or harm.

Wait for the complete pump stopping before handling the unit.

Drain the pump or close the pipes by means of a valve to prevent sudden rotation.

Wait for the pump to cool down to avoid contact with high temperature surfaces.

Ensure maintenance is carried out when the pump is at a standstill.

Adjustment of Packing Seals Without External Flushing

Loosen the stuffing box nuts to allow a strong drip to escape

Verify the extent of the leak (drops per minute)

Tighten the stuffing box nuts progressively until the leak is reduced to a continuous and controlled drip

Wait a few minutes to allow the leak to stabilize and evaluate the adjustment

Record the number of drops per minute for a 20 mm diameter shaft

Record the number of drops per minute for a 100 mm diameter shaft

Measure the temperature of the liquid that comes out

Is the temperature at least ten degrees lower than the boiling temperature of the flushing liquid and below 90°C?

!DANGER: Danger due to fluids in pressure. Carry out sealing tests provided with apposite protective devices.

Ensure all protective devices are in place

Is the static pressure within the acceptable range?

Is the vacuum pressure within the acceptable range?

CAUTION: Possible contact with hazardous media and hazardous substances, cold or warm. Operate only provided with apposite protective devices.

Wear appropriate protective devices

Remove loose materials from piping

Remove foreign particles from reservoirs

Pay particular attention to cleaning welded piping

Ensure components welded are free from debris

Remove vent plug of the bearing frame

Pour oil into the bearing frame through the hole of plug till you can see oil in the oil-filler elbow

Fill the oil-filler pouring oil directly into the oil-cruet and NOT into the elbow

Replace the cruet in normal position

Let oil flow into bearing frame

Repeat operation till the oil level in the cruet ceases to decrease
