  • Page 11: Safety Instructions Relevant For Maintenance, Inspection And Assembly Work

    Modifications may be made to the machine only after consultation with a Ruhrpumpen representative. Using spare parts and accessories authorized by Ruhrpumpen is in the interest of safety. The use of parts not authorized by the dealer exempt the manufacturer from any liability, voiding the warranty.
  • Page 12: Transport & Storage

    Remove unit only by properly supporting the wooden shipping skid. After unloading, inspect the pump, check the shipment against the packing list, and report damages or shortages immediately to freight carrier and to the designated Ruhrpumpen representative.  Do not place lifting rig around the suction and discharge flanges or under the baseplate.
  • Page 13: Storing

    Single Stage, Overhung, Closed Couple OH5 Pump  When transporting with a crane, the rope should be slung round the unit as shown in the figure below.  The rope should not be slung around the lugs attached to the motor or around the lugs attached to the pump.
  • Page 14 Return the unit to the shipping crate. When the pump is to be installed, remove all the protective coatings and desiccant and drain all oils. One month before installation, a Ruhrpumpen representative should be employed to conduct a final inspection. V1.100518...

  • Page 17: Installation

    NOTE: The information in this section is intended as a general guideline. For further information refer to the corresponding section in API Recommended Practices 686. IMPORTANT: The design of foundations is not the responsibility of Ruhrpumpen. It is therefore recommended that the customer consult a competent specialist skilled in the field of foundations, to insure proper design/installation of the foundation.
  • Page 18: Leveling Baseplate

    Single Stage, Overhung, Closed Couple OH5 Pump It is recommended to build the foundation approximately 3 inches (76 mm) larger overall than the pump baseplate to provide ample anchorage for the foundation bolts. 3.1. Since water can accidentally flow in the floor, a height for the surface of the foundation of 4 inches (100 mm) at least above floor level is recommended.
  • Page 19 Single Stage, Overhung, Closed Couple OH5 Pump To continue with the leveling procedure: Remove the pump and driver from the base to facilitate the leveling procedure. This will facilitate the next steps and prevent distortion of the baseplate. If alignment is to be performed with wedges, place steel blocks and wedges (or shim packs) as closely as possible to the foundation bolts.
  • Page 20: Grouting

    Single Stage, Overhung, Closed Couple OH5 Pump Figure 4.1 Baseplate leveling planes  The alignment of the baseplate is effected with the help of adjusting screws, or wedges, depending on the preparation of the baseplate.  NOTE: When using jacking bolts, each one should have a mounting pad, to distribute the stresses evenly.
  • Page 21: Grouting Precautions

    Single Stage, Overhung, Closed Couple OH5 Pump • Risers or funnels for guiding grout. • Sufficient oil paint for grout protective covering. 4.3.2 Grouting Precautions During all the grouting process, the involved personnel must follow these safety precautions: Wear goggles or face shields, aprons, and protective gloves at all times. Wear dust masks if in contact with the dry aggregates.
  • Page 22 Fill the holes with grout. Tighten the foundation bolts with an appropriate torque value. In case of doubt, please contact your Ruhrpumpen representative. Apply oil paint to exposed grout to protect from air and moisture. Use a lifting rig to position the pump and driver on their baseplate so that the mounting feet line up with their respective tapped holes.
  • Page 23: Leveling Foundation Plate

    Single Stage, Overhung, Closed Couple OH5 Pump  NOTE: *If by client specification the pump is to be used in a service where grouting will not be possible, for example fire duty, it is responsibility of the customer to use a PIP baseplate. Otherwise, please note that baseplates are not pre-grouted, therefore this grouting procedure shall be followed by the customer.
  • Page 24 Single Stage, Overhung, Closed Couple OH5 Pump Figure 4.2 Foundation bolting for leveling (the image is not scaled, for illustrative purpose only). The deviation from the horizontal plane should not exceed +/- 0.3 mm per meter. After aligning the bolts, they have to be grounded with grout without cavities. When the grout has hardened, the required height and flange alignment are checked and adjusted.
