each pump is designed and fitted for the specific
order requirements.
The "HPXM" pump can be arranged with either a
single, dual mechanical pump seal. Refer to the
General Arrangement for piping connections to be
used with your pump.
Mechanical seal replacement or servicing requires
that the pull out element be removed from the casing.
For removal of cartridge
Manufacturer's instructions.
4.6.6 Final checks
Check the tightness of all bolts in the suction and
discharge pipework. Check also the tightness of all
foundation bolts and auxiliary lines.

4.7 Final shaft alignment check

After connecting piping to the pump, rotate the shaft
several times by hand to ensure there is no binding
and all parts are free.
Recheck the coupling alignment, as previously
described, to ensure no strain on coupling is due to
pipe. If pipe strain exists, correct piping.

4.8 Electrical connections

Electrical connections must be made by
a qualified Electrician in accordance with relevant
local national and international regulations.
It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE on potentially explosive areas where
compliance with IEC60079-14 is an additional
requirement for making electrical connections.
It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility when
wiring up and installing equipment on site. Attention
must be paid to ensure that the techniques used
during wiring/installation
electromagnetic emissions
electromagnetic immunity of the equipment, wiring or
any connected devices.
Flowserve for advice.
The motor must be wired up in
accordance with the
instructions (normally supplied within the terminal
box) including any temperature, earth leakage,
current and other protective devices as appropriate.
The identification nameplate should be checked to
ensure the power supply is appropriate.

If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit, the
controller/starter electrical details will also be supplied
within the controller/starter.
For electrical details on pump sets with controllers
see the separate wiring diagram.
See section 5.3, Direction of rotation
before connecting the motor to the electrical supply.

4.9 Protection systems

The following
recommended particularly if the pump is installed in a
potentially explosive area or is handling a hazardous
liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve.
If there is any possibility of the system allowing the
pump to run against a closed valve or below
minimum continuous safe flow a protection device
should be installed to ensure the temperature of the
liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.
If there are any circumstances in which the system
can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a
power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or
prevent it from being started.
relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid.
If leakage of product from the pump or its associated
sealing system can
recommended that an appropriate leakage detection
system is installed.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at
bearings it is recommended that temperature or
vibration monitoring are carried out.

5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP,
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN
These operations must be carried
out by fully qualified personnel.

5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure

The following steps should be followed at initial start
up and after the equipment has been overhauled:
a) Prior to installing the pump, flush the suction side
of the system to remove all deposit (slag, bolts
etc).
