Vector 4000 Maintenance and Storage
6.6.2 SETUP
Note: The numbers in parentheses are Reference Numbers
located in the Parts List exploded views of this manual.
Before the setting up the pump, check the following:
1. The pump with its drive and frame must be fixed to a solid
base with a slope which does not exceed 5mm for 1m and
must be firmly fastened to this one.
2. The alignment of pump and drive shafts must be made in
accordance with instructions given by the manufacturer of
the coupling. Refer to the specific notice of such material.
To achieve alignment and coupling, use a perfectly straight
ruler to control the misalignment, and a feeler gauge for
angular misalignment. Control four points (top, bottom, left,
right) at each stage of the installation (after setting on
foundations, after fixing pipes and after a first start).
3. Make sure there is enough room around the pump to carry
out maintenance. If that was not the case, envisage
the moving of the pump in a space provided for this
purpose.
4. Make sure the room is adequately ventilated to relieve the
heat generated by the pump. Leave a space behind
the motor ventilator hood so as not to obstruct the air intake.
6.6.3 PUMP STARTING
Perform the procedures outlined in the PUMP STARTUP sec-
tion 5, before pump operation.
6.6.4 BEARING CASE DISMANTLING AND LIP SEAL RE-
PLACEMENT
Perform steps in 6.4.2. Disassemble the bearing case in the
same way as for the gearbox.
1. Remove lip seals (105) and (106) from the bearing
case.
2. Remove circlips (107).
3. Remove shaft with bearings.
4. Disassemble bearings and replace them together with shaft (102)
as needed.

6.7 PERIODIC CHECK
Regularly check the absence of grease coming from the leak-
age channel or from lip seal (106).
7 STORAGE
7.1 PUMP STORAGE
Store the pump in a sheltered and dry place and ensure that
the storage room temperature is between 68°F and 113°F.
Protect the pump if necessary and block the inlet and outlet
orifices:
1. If the pump stays without working more than 1 month, with
draw the hose from the pump or remove one of the shoes
as well as its centering pin and position the wheel
so that the second shoe can be seen threw the sight glass.
For models 4003,4004, position the wheel so that one of the
cam lobes remains submerged in the lubricant.
2. If you can neither remove the hose or one of the shoes,
run the pump 5 minutes a week.
7.2 HOSE STORAGE
Hoses must be stored sheltered from light in a cool place.
CAUTION: Hose performance is reduced after two years,
due to material aging.
