Fristam Pumps ESCRIPTION This manual contains installation, operation and repair instructions for the Fristam FKL 15, 0, 5, 50, 75, 150, 50 and 400 Series balanced circular piston pump. The FKL pump is a positive displacement pump characterized by its balanced rotor design. The rotors travel through a precisely machined, close clearance channel in the housing and cover allowing the product to be pumped very efficiently.

FKL Series Pump NSTALLATION NPACKINg Check the contents and all wrapping when unpacking the pump. Carefully inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Immediately report any damage to the carrier. Leave the protec- tive caps over the pump inlet and outlet connections until you are ready to install the pump. NSTALLINg Prior to actually installing the pump, ensure that: •...

Fristam Pumps • Keep suction lines as short and direct as possible. • Avoid abrupt transitions in the piping systems (Figure 4). • Avoid the formation of air pockets in the piping (Figure 5). Figure 4 • Ensure that the NPSH available in the system is greater than NPSH required by the pump.
A change in conditions (for example, higher viscosity product, higher product specific gravity) can overload the motor. For technical assistance regarding operating condition chang- es, please contact Fristam Pumps. Make sure that the pump is rotating in the correct direction.
Fristam Pumps See the oil capacity listing on page 5. ERIODIC AINTENANCE Periodically inspect the pump housing, cover and rotors for any signs of wear or damage. If wear is present this could be a sign of over-pressurization, incorrect rotor gap or bearing wear.

Fristam Pumps NSERT ThE OUTER bEARINg RACES Lightly grease the front and rear bearing bores. Insert the outer races of the front and rear bear- ings into the gearbox as shown in Figure 35. Ideally these races should be pressed in using an Arbor press and an old bearing race ground down to slide freely in the bearing bore.
