1 INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.1 General These instructions must always be kept close to the product's operating location or directly with the product. Flowserve products are designed, developed and manufactured with state-of-the-art technologies in modern facilities. The unit is produced with great care and commitment to continuous quality control, utilizing sophisticated quality techniques, and safety requirements.
1.6 Safety 1.6.1 Summary of safety markings These User Instructions contain specific safety markings where non-observance of an instruction would cause hazards. The specific safety markings are: This symbol indicates electrical safety instructions where non-compliance will involve a high risk to personal safety or the loss of life. This symbol indicates safety instructions where non-compliance would affect personal safety and could result in loss of life.

1.6.4.2 Marking An example of ATEX equipment marking is shown below. The actual classification of the pump will be engraved on the nameplate. II 2 GD c IIC 135 ºC (T4) Equipment Group I = Mining II = Non-mining Category 2 or M2 = High level protection 3 = normal level of protection Gas and/or Dust...
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking. To avoid the potential hazard from random induced current generating a spark the ground contact on the baseplate must be used. Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non- metallic surfaces with a dry cloth, ensure cloth is damp.
+3 dB tolerance, and cannot be guaranteed. Typical sound pressure level, dBA, L Motor size 3550 r/min and speed Pump and Pump motor only kW (hp) <0.55 (<0.75) 0.75 (1) 1.1 (1.5) 1.5 (2) 2.2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.5 (7.5)
In areas where the staff has to intervene, remember that when the level of the sound pressure is: Below 70 dBA :It is not necessary to take special precautions. Above 70 dBA :People working continuously in the machine room must be supplied with protective devices against noise.
All motors (for masses see the motor description plate) must be handled with a winch. For masses above 25 kg (55 lb), manual handling is forbidden. 2.3 Lifting 2.3.1 Slinging of motor pumps units Use handling means in accordance with motor pump unit mass mentioned on the CE plate.

4 INSTALLATION Equipment operated in hazardous locations must comply with the relevant explosion protection regulations. See section 1.6.4, Products used in potentially explosive atmospheres. All equipment must be grounded. 4.1 Location The pump should be located to allow room for access, ventilation, maintenance and inspection with ample headroom for lifting and should be as close as practicable to the supply of liquid to be pumped.
4.3 Grouting 4.3.1 Base plate grouting a) Prepare the site for grouting. Before grouting clean the foundation surface thoroughly and provide external barriers as shown: Barriers b) Prepare grouting product (concrete, resin) in accordance with manufacturers' instructions. c) Use grouting products with anti-shrinking components.
If necessary, improve the machine alignment: Complete unit mounted on common base plate: The machines are first aligned accurately in our workshops. Usually, any misalignment observed on- site is due to a wrong adjustment under the base plate (disturbed during transport or because of forces exerted by the pipework).
4.5.2 Suction piping 4.5.2.1 Design of a flooded suction line The suction line must be as short and direct as possible, never mount an elbow directly on the inlet flange of the pump. Valve Non-return valve Continous flow valve Flooded suction configuration a) Avoid sharp elbows or sudden narrowing.
Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by using motor overload trips or a power monitor and make routine vibration monitoring. It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility when wiring up and installing equipment on site. Attention must be paid to ensure that the techniques used during wiring/installation do not increase electromagnetic emissions or decrease the electromagnetic immunity of...
5.3 Priming and auxiliary supplies Where there is any risk of the pump being run against a closed valve generating high liquid and casing external surface temperatures it is recommended that users fit an external surface temperature protection device. Ensure all electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, sealant and lubrication systems (as applicable) are connected and operational.
a) Start motor and check outlet pressure. b) If pressure is satisfactory, slowly OPEN outlet valve. c) Do not run the pump with the outlet valve closed for a period longer than 30 seconds. d) If NO pressure, or LOW pressure, STOP the pump.
Check actual capability of the driver and control/starting system before commissioning. Motor rating kW (hp) Up to 15 (20) Between 15 (20) and 90 (120) 90 (120) to 150 (200)
Shutdown: Close the outlet valve and stop the motor. Eventually close the inlet valve. For prolonged shutdowns and especially when ambient temperatures are likely to drop below freezing point, the pump and any cooling and flushing arrangements must be drained or otherwise protected.
It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work is carried out by authorized and qualified personnel who have adequately familiarized themselves with the subject matter by studying this manual in detail (see also section 1.6.2).
Example of straight Example of bevel cut Ensure a tightening on the stuffing box housing and not on the sleeve. SETTING OF PACKING Follow the instructions: a) Assemble of the packing in S. b) Stagger by about 90° between two rings. c) Assemble packing after packing.
