3.5 V-Belt Drives Check Belt Fit Regardless of the belt section used, the belt should never be allowed to bottom in the groove. This will cause the belts to lose their wedging action and slippage can occur. Sheaves or belts that permit such a condition to occur should be changed.
4 Starting 4 Starting 4.1 Starting a Vertical Pump Before starting a new pump, check the pump supports and piping to be certain that they conform to the specifications in the Installation Instructions section. The bearing housing is properly filled with grease before shipment. Under normal conditions, grease should be added as required at regular intervals.
5 Operating and Maintenance Instructions 5 Operating and Maintenance Instructions 5.1 Lubrication WARNING: Operation of the unit without proper lubrication can result in overheating of the bearings, bear- ing failures, pump seizures and actual breakup of the equipment exposing operating personnel to personal injury.
5.5 Gaskets and O-ring Seals In case of making replacements for bearings which have been installed and run, it is recommended that both halves be replaced. This avoids the dangers involved in attempting to match two bearings, one of which has unknown internal characteristics. 5.5 Gaskets and O-ring Seals When making inspections or repairs, be sure to replace all gaskets and O-rings.
6 Disassembly and Reassembly 6 Disassembly and Reassembly 6.1 Disassembly of Bottom Suction Pump 5150 Lock out power supply to motor. Shut off valves controlling flow from the pump. Remove all auxiliary piping and tubing. Remove pump from sump. Loosen V-belts or disconnect coupling. Remove either from shaft. Remove motor and motor mount if a direct connected pump.
6.3 Inspection and Parts Replacement Guidelines Figure 5: Bearing housing and shaft disassmbly 6.3 Inspection and Parts Replacement Guidelines Impeller – Replace if impeller shows excessive erosion, corrosion, extreme wear or vane breakage. Impeller hub must be in good condition. Reduction in hydraulic performance may be caused by ex- cessive impeller wear, especially along the suction liner mating surface.
6.4 Reassembly or Bearing Housing and Shaft Assembly Shaft – Check for runout (0.006" max.) to see that shaft has not been bent. Bearing seats and oil seal area must be smooth and free of scratches or grooves. Shaft threads must be in good condi- tion.
