6) Install the mechanical seal, the key and the hub with right number of shims on the pump shaft
and fasten again the hub with torque of 250 Nm.

7 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE AND TROUBLE-FREE PERFORMANCE

Starting up the Pump
1. Positioning the Pump
2. Attaching the suction line
Equip the suction line with ORIGINAL Bauer coupling parts
Never mount the suction line hanging from the pump (no strain relief).
Always mount the suction line in a rising position (no sagging –entrapped air)
The suction line must be absolutely leak-tight.
Always dimension the suction line in accordance with the discharge capacity required.
For discharge higher than 150m3/h you must use a suction line size 8" (HK 194).
3. Attaching the delivery line
The centrifugal pump must always be equipped with a control valve in the delivery line.
4. Check the oil level in the gearbox and in the oil reservoir.
5. Attaching the p.t.o. shaft
Always use p.t.o. shafts with shearing pin
P.t.o. shaft should only be slightly bend
Start the p.t.o. shaft at low power take-off speeds
6. For safety reasons of the mechanical seal, fill the pump with water on initial
operation.
7. Operating with self-priming Unit (semiautomatically with valve)
When using the evacuation pump (compressor) for priming, always make sure that the delivery line valve is not
completely closed (If completely closed, the valve builds up back pressure of air, which jams the pump on
building up pressure i.e. priming stops).
