PRIOR TO COUPLING DRIVER TO PUMP, ROTATION OF

DRIVER SHOULD BE CHECKED! Serious damage can result

if pump is rotated in wrong direction. Once motor rotation

is checked, connect coupling, following the manufacturer’s

instructions. If a coupling guard is furnished with the unit,

ensure that it is securely fastened in place.

1. Packing:

If the pumpage is dirty or hot, it is not suitable to lubricate the

packing. An external source must be utilized, unless the bypass

is equipped with proper separator, filter, and/or cooling system.

This must be piped into the lantern ring connection, also (refer

to packing recommendations).

2. Mechanical Seals:

When mechanical seals are supplied, they are installed and

adjusted at the factory. They must not run dry or in abrasives.

Connect recirculation, flush and/or cooling lines as required,

following instructions on the seal print supplied for the unit.

unit. See Fig. 6 for correct adjustment of oiler.
