When changing a pump from one service to another, be sure to check that all wetted pans of the pump (including seals) are compatible with the fluid to be handled and that the motor is sufficiently sized for the application. If in doubt, contact your Eco distributor. 2. Inspect for Wear Whenever gear pumps exhibit reduced flow rates, inability to maintain pressures, noisy or otherwise abnormal operation, first refer to the troubleshooting section. - Page 9 New seal seats shipped from the factory include the O-ring already fitted to the seat. 5. Stuffing Box Design Eco Gearchem pumps with packing use either a plain stuffing box or one equipped with a lantern ring. GH8, GA-12 and GA-16 packed pumps are supplied only in the later configuration.
