(page 15) piping is used for the bleed line, avoid the use of elbows whenever possible. When mounted at All Prime Pumps, the driver and pump are aligned before shipment. NOTE: Misalignment may occur in transit and handling.
WARNING! Align non-spider type couplings by using a feeler When checking alignment, disconnect the gauge or taper gauge between the coupling power source to ensure that the pump will halves every 90 degrees. The coupling is in remain inoperative. alignment when the hubs are the same distance apart at all points.
V-Belt Drives When using V-belt drives, the power source and the pump must be parallel. Use a straightedge along the sides of the pulleys to ensure that the pulleys are properly aligned (see Figure 6D). In drive systems using two or more belts, make certain that the belts are a matched set; unmatched sets will cause accelerated belt wear.
OPERATION – SECTION C WARNING! Review all SAFETY information in Section A. After fi lling the pump casing, reinstall and tighten the fi ll plug. Do not attempt to Follow instructions on all tags, labels and decals operate the pump unless all connecting piping attached to the pump.

BEARING TEMPERATURE CHECK Bearings normally run at higher than ambient temperatures because of heat generated by friction. Temperatures up to 160º F (71º C) are considered normal for bearings, and they can operate safely to at least 180º F (82º C). Checking bearing temperatures by hand is inaccurate.
TROUBLESHOOTING - SECTION D Review all SAFETY information in Section A. WARNING! Before attempting to open or service the pump: 1. Familiarize yourself with this manual. 2. Lock out or disconnect the power source to ensure that the pump will remain inoperative. 3.

TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE PROBABLE REMEDY PUMP STOPS OR Air leak in suction line. Correct leak. FAILS TO DELIVER RATED FLOW OR Lining of suction hose collapsed. Replace suction hose. PRESSURE Leaking or worn seal or pump gasket. Check pump vacuum. Replace leaking or worn seal or gasket.
TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE PROBABLE REMEDY EXCESSIVE NOISE Cavitation in pump. Reduce suction lift and/or friction losses in suction line. Record vacuum and pressure gauge readings and consult local representative or factory. Pumping entrained air. Locate and eliminate source of air bubble.

Shaft & Bearing Reassembly Clean the bore of the pedestal and seal plate, Replace the bearing cap o-ring and oil seal. as well as the shaft and component parts with Position the lip of the oil seal toward the oil a cloth soaked in cleaning solvent.
Seal Reassembly - Component Type The seal is not normally reused because of the high polish on its lapped faces, but if it is necessary to reuse the old seal, wash all metallic parts in cleaning solvent and dry thoroughly. Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring, grooves, and other damage that might cause leakage.
Pump Reassembly Reinstall the impeller adjusting shims. until they are snug against the suction head. The clearance should now be correct. Reinstall the impeller key, and press the impeller onto the shaft. A clearance of .010 to .020 Lubricate the seal as indicated in the inch between the impeller and the seal plate LUBRICATION section.
LUBRICATION Seal Chamber Sight-glass tube should be kept approx. 1-1/2” to 2” above the bottom of the glass. Clean and reinstall the vented plug. Maintain the oil at this level. Bearing Chamber The bearing housing was fi lled when it was shipped from the factory. Check the oil level regularly through the sight glass tube which should be kept approx.
CAUTION! Monitor the condition of the bearing lubricant regularly for evidence of rust or moisture condensation. This is especially important in areas where variable and cold temperatures are common. For cold weather operation, consult the factory or a lubricant supplier for the recommended grade of oil.
