Remove all grease relief fittings and grease relief nipples from upper and lower bearing housings. 3. Start the pump per start-up instructions and permit grease to be purged from each bearing housing. Do not install grease relief piping until purging has completely stopped after the pump has been operating for at least eight (8) hours.
5410, 5420, 5440 Solids Handling Pumps Installation, Operation and Maintenance NET POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD (NPSH): NPSH can be defined as the head (energy that causes liquid to flow through the suction pipe and enter the eye of the impeller). NPSH is expressed in two values: 1.

5410, 5420, 5440 Solids Handling Pumps Installation, Operation and Maintenance E. Remove the impeller (1) from the shaft (4). Impeller and shaft have a close tolerance, so it will be necessary to use a pulling device. CAUTION: Care should be taken not to damage the impeller when using a puller or similar device. Attach the puller or other equipment at the impeller vane area only.
5410, 5420, 5440 Solids Handling Pumps Installation, Operation and Maintenance Slide the radial bearing housing (139) up off the radial bearing (163) so that the radial bearing can be removed from the shaft (4) using a bearing puller. Remove the radial bearing housing (139) from the shaft (4). Remove the thrust bearing housing (158) from the shaft (4).
