Safety General Precautions The following are general safety precautions not related to any specific procedure. Per- sonnel must understand and apply these precautions during both operation and main- tenance of the pump. Do Not Operate Pump Without Ear Protection. The pump has heat-treated steel timing gears, which can be very noisy when operated above 900 rpm.
Edwards Model 150-348 Pump Do not order parts using this manual if the model number on the pump is not 150-348 or the serial number is not ________________. Using parts ordered from the wrong manual could result in pump failure or personal injury. Cautions Do not hammer on pump endcase.
General Introduction The Edwards Model 150, Model 160 and Model 300 pumps (Figure 1-1) are standard-duty high-speed gear-driven positive-displacement rotary pumps with gear-type rotors. The pumps are self-priming. Edwards rotary pumps are available in many configurations. While they may look alike, there may be significant differences from one pump to another. Differences include construction material, sealing method, rotor type, etc Figure 1-1.
150-348 and the serial number is ________________. If the numbers do not match, contact Edwards - Pentair Water. Most pump repairs can be performed by maintenance personnel using normally avail- able tools.
Model 150 / 160 / 300 Pumps Disassembly General Practice 1. Keep work area as clean as possible to avoid contamination of internal parts. 2. Replace gaskets, packings, and seals removed during repair. Replace all keys, spring washers, and like items during assembly. 3.

Maintenance 5. Place ball or roller bearings in basket and suspend in container of “dry” cleaning Always replace solvent overnight. If necessary, use soft-bristled brush to remove caked grease and bearings whenever chips. Avoid rotating bearing before solid particles are removed to prevent damag- possible.
Model 150 / 160 / 300 Pumps Assembly General Practice 1. Remove any protective coatings from new parts. 2. Lubricate bearings with same type of lubricant normally used in pump or as directed in specific repair procedure. 3. Lubricate lip of oil seals with lubricant specified in specific procedure. Install oil seals, with lip facing out, by applying an even force to outer edge of seal.

Maintenance Do not overtighten bearing adjusting nut setscrews. Excessive bearing preload may result, causing bearing damage. 6. Tighten the setscrews (11) enough to secure the bearing adjusting nuts (12) in end- case (15). 7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for drive rotor assembly (22) bearings.

2. Check for shipment shortages against the bill of lading. 3. Report shortages to the carrier and note them on the bill of lading. 4. Notify Edwards- Pentair Water of damage to contents not a fault of the carrier, or in the event of short- ages.
Model 150 / 160 / 300 Pumps 3. Leave plastic or gasket-type port covers in place. 4. If pump comes wrapped with protective material, rewrap pump. 5. Store in clean, dry location. Installation The pump can be installed wherever adequate space exists to connect piping and per- form maintenance.
Model 150 / 160 / 300 Pumps Prepare Foundation The foundation absorbs any vibration, strains, or shock, while providing a permanent, rigid support for the pump skid. 1. Construct a foundation form that is 4 to 6 inches longer and wider than the skid base.

Puddle grout as poured, working as much as possible under skid base and into sleeves around foundation bolts. Ideally, complete space under skid base should be filled to height of grout around skid base.
Installation 4. Start and stop the driver while observing driver shaft rotation. Driver rotation must be same as pump rotation. For applications Align Couplings where pumps are operated at elevated The alignment of the pump and motor or engine driver must be checked before startup. temperatures, final Maximum angular offset in the two coupling halves is 1 degree;...

Attach dial indicator as shown in Figure 3-9. 2. With dial indicator secured to pump or driver shaft, rotate both shafts together, noting dial indicator readings through one complete revolution.

Checking for Spacer Coupling Misalignment Piping Rotary pumps have close running clearances. Thus, clean piping is a must. Dirt, grit, weld bead or scale, flushed from an unclean piping system, will damage and may stall the pump.
