11.1 Additional procedures of Service and Storage

Pumps stored for periods exceeding one year should be serviced every 12 months. They should be disassembled,
-
cleaned and the whole process described in the item 11 should be repeated.
Pumps equipped with PACKING should have their packing removed before storage.
-
MECHANICAL SEALS should be cleaned with dry compressed air. No other liquid or material should be applied to
-
them in order to prevent damage to the secondary sealing as o-rings and gaskets.
All connections as inlets for liquids from external sources, priming, draining, flushing and cooling should be closed.
-
Suction and discharge flanges should be covered to prevent the entry of strange bodies.
-
Assembled pumps, waiting to be installed or to start operation should be turned manually every 15 days. If it is difficult
-
to move them by hand, use a box spanner, protecting the shaft surface at the point of application.
Wash the surfaces with gasoline or kerosene before applying the protecting liquids.

Installation

Our pumps should be installed, leveled and aligned by trained personnel. When this service is done incorrectly it will
originate operational troubles, premature wear and damage beyond repair.

12.1 Base Grouting

Place the foundation bolts in the holes or slots of the foundation block according to boring design: Foundation Drawing.
Between the base and the foundation block and beside the foundation bolts, metallic chocks of the same height should be
fixed with grout together with the foundation bolts, to serve as support for the base.
In order to adhere perfectly to the grout, the chock blocks and foundation bolts should be free of any grease or oil residues.
After the grout set is completed, place the base on the foundation block. See Fig. 9.
