Fristam FS Series Shear Blender ecommended Reventive aintenance ecommended aintenance Visually inspect mechancical seal daily for leakage. Replace mechanical seal annually under normal duty. Replace mechanical seal as often as required under heavy duty. laStomeR nSPection Inspect all elastomers when performing pump maintenance. We recommend replacing elastomers (O-rings and gaskets) during seal, pump shaft and/or motor replacement.
Fristam FS Series Shear Blender nStallation npacking Check the contents and all wrapping when unpacking the pump. Inspect the pump carefully for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Immediately report any damage to the carrier. Remove the shaft guard and rotate the pump shaft by hand to make sure the rotor rotates freely.
The motor selected should meet the requirements of the specified operating conditions. A change in conditions (for example, higher viscosity, higher specific gravity, lower head losses) can overload the motor. When changing operating conditions or whenever there is any doubt, please contact Fristam Pumps, Inc., for technical assistance.

Fristam FS Series Shear Blender nStallation oF ater luSh For ouBle echanical Set up the water flush for the double mechanical seal as shown (Figure 28). Use only between 1-2 gallons per hour of water at a maximum pressure of 5 PSI. Excessive flow of water through the seal increases the pressure inside the seal.
