Mounting Instructions For Mechanical Seal Ø 50 For Sm 1000 / Sm 2000 And Sm 3500 - Bauer Magnum SM 540 Operating Manual

WARNING!
The best way to clean the interior of pipes and fittings is to pump water through the system for several
minutes with the pump running at PTO idle speed.
•
The pump should be stored in a weather-protected place, preferably in a shelter. In areas where frost is
likely during the winter season the pump housing must be drained completely by the impeller to spill out the
remaining water.
•
The gearbox oil should be exchanged for the first time after 50 and after that every 2000 hours of operation,
but at least once a year.
•
The mechanical seal is made of high-strength materials. The oil reservoir provides it with liquid (hydraulic oil
– e.g. 0.4 l Shell Tellus S22) so the seal will not even be destroyed if the pump runs dry for a short while.
•
Functional check-up of the mechanical seal is limited to visual inspection of the oil level in the oil reservoir. If
liquid emerges from the oil reservoir while the pump is running or if the predetermined oil level cannot be
reached, the sealing must be checked for damage (foreign objects).
•
Always replace both rotary and stationary seal ring at the same time.
•
We recommend to rinse the pump with water before it is dismantled. In doing so, foreign objects can be
washed out and the mechanical seal would be tight again.
•
Observe local laws and regulations when disposing pumps and pump components after repairs and service
or when a pump is withdrawn from service. This applies in particular to residual slurry in the pump body.

Operating manual for BAUER gear pump
The pump and all its accessories should be cleaned immediately after use. As long
as the slurry has not dried up it can easily be rinsed off with water. Shortly rinse the
pump at low speed with clear water fed through the rinsing connection after every
use.
