INTRODUCTION OF PUMP Rotech’s 1196 SERIES ANSI chemical process centrifugal pumps are designed for pumping various types of chemicals, hydrocarbon, slurries and other liquid. This pump has back pull out design enable to pull out from operation without disturbing piping.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION When preparing your pump for installation, Please make sure the discharge and suction connections must be clean and free of anything that might prohibit a tight connection. This is especially important on the suction, air leaks can cause a pump to operate poorly or to lose prime completely.
1. Apply Anti-seizing compound on jack screw to allow for pads to zero in both directions. easy removal after the grout has cured. 6. Turn down the center jack screws until they are resting 2. Cut 6 or 8 round plates from barstock to set the jack on their metal plates.

1. Clean the bearing frame and inspect all tapped holes. Chase as needed. 2. Install oil fill plug, oil sight glass, and frame lubrication plugs. 3. Attach bearing frame foot with bolts, where applicable. 4. On the LTR model, install oil ring on shaft, if removed. Oil ring is a press fit onto shaft. NOTE: Use proper size drive tool to prevent damage.

c. Rotate shaft 360 degrees. It should be free. NOTE: These steps do not apply to the 6" STR Model. 16. Set frame and adapter upright. Clamp to bench for safety as assembly continues. 17. Install inboard bearing labyrinth seal in adapter frame. Make sure that the seal’s drain slots face down. Follow Mainte- nance instructions in Appendix 5.

Before assembling or disassembling the coupling guard, de-energize the motor, lock out the motor controller/starter, and place a caution tag at the starter indicating that it is disconnected. Before resuming normal pump operation, replace the coupling guard. Rotech Pump assumes no liability when these procedures are avoided.

Fig. F Disassembly Procedures It is necessary to remove the coupling guard for certain pump maintenance and adjustments, such as coupling adjustment, impeller clearance adjustment, and so forth. Replace the coupling guard after completing maintenance. DO NOT resume normal pump operation while the coupling guard is removed. 1.
