SECTION A GENERAL INFORMATION A.1 PREFACE Magnatex 3575 Series ANSI Pump is a horizontal overhung, end suction and top discharge with an open impeller, which meets the requirements of ANSI B73.1, fabricated with the best materials and continuous inspection. With correct installation, periodic inspection, correct usage and careful maintenance, this pump will yield a long satisfactory service life.
A.2 SPECIFICATIONS VOLUTE: The volute is top centerline with a fully confined gasket. The foot support is used for maxi- mum resistance to misalignment and distortion from piping loads. However it is important not to impart piping loads on to the pump. IMPELLER: The impeller is fully open and threaded to the shaft.
DANGER STORAGE REQUIREMENTS Proper storage of your MAGNATEX pump will insure that it is ready for service when needed. GENERAL RULE: Pumps with corrosive fluid application; the process side of the pump should be drained and flushed with water and blown dry using low pressure air flow. After pump is dry a suitable rust preventative should be applied to the interior of the process side of the pump, whenever idle for periods in excess of (1) month or less for humid environments.
SECTION B PUMP INSTALLATION A pump should be located near the supply of liquid and have adequate space for operation, maintenance and inspection. B.1 FOUNDATION AND BASEPLATE ALIGNMENT FOUNDATION Baseplate mounted pumps are normally grouted on a concrete foundation, which has been poured on a solid footing;...
Page 7
LEVEL BASEPLATE A. Place one set of wedges or shims on each side of every foundation bolt. The wedges should extend between ¾” and 1 ½” above foundation to allow for adequate grouting. B. Remove liquid and / or debris from anchor bolt holes/sleeve before grouting. If the sleeve type bolts are being used, fill the sleeves with packing or rags to prevent grout from entering.
B.2 ALIGNMENT INITIAL ALIGNMENT CHECKS: (Done prior to operation) Check before grouting the Baseplate to be sure correct alignment is possible. Check after Baseplate is grouted to see if grouting process has altered alignment. After pipes are connected, check to see if strained connections have altered alignment. If so, eliminate piping strain to achieve optimal alignment.

Step 10 ‐ Removal of impeller: DANGER Wear heavy work gloves to prevent injury from sharp edges! Impeller rotates freely: o Slide shaft wrench over the shaft and key. o Looking from the impeller end of the shaft, rotate the impeller clockwise, raising the wrench off the work surface.
SECTION F PUMP ASSEMBLY All pumps parts should be inspected before reassembly. Check that all parts are clean before assembly. F.1 ASSEMBLY OF BEARING FRAME Step 1 –Install all threaded plugs in bearing frame (sight oiler plug, for oil mist connection plug, oil fill plug, oil drain plug, relief plug and oil cooler inlet and outlet plugs.

7. Zero out dial indicator. 8. Loosen the clamp bolts several turns to allow space under the hex head between the bolt head and bearing cartridge. 9. Watching the dial indicator evenly turn jack bolts (make sure jam nuts are away from the bearing cartridge) to move the shaft and bearing cartridge assembly and impeller away from the pump casing.
