4. Put the driver half of the coupling guard in place:
a) Slightly spread the bottom apart.
b) Place the driver half of the coupling guard over the pump half of the coupling guard.
The annular groove in the coupling guard half must face the motor.
5. Place the driver-side end plate over the motor shaft.
6. Place the driver-side end plate in the annular groove of the driver-half of the coupling
guard.
7. Use a bolt, a nut, and two washers to secure the coupling guard half to the end plate. Hand-
tighten only.
The hole is located on the driver-side of the coupling guard half.
8. Slide the driver-half of the coupling guard towards the motor so that the coupling guard
completely covers the shafts and coupling.
9. Use a nut, a bolt, and two washers to secure the coupling guard halves together.
10. Tighten all nuts on the guard assembly.
WARNING:
Never operate the pump without the coupling guard correctly installed.
Bearing lubrication
Bearings must be lubricated properly in order to prevent excess heat generation, sparks
and premature failure.
Precautions
WARNING:
Make sure to properly lubricate the bearings. Failure to do so can result in excess heat generation,
sparks, and premature failure.
NOTICE:
Avoid equipment damage. Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufactures IOM for instructions and
recommendations for lubrication.
Pumps are shipped without oil
You must lubricate oil-lubricated bearings at the job site.
Flood oil lubrication
Flood oil-lubricated bearings are standard. Bearing housings are supplied with constant-level
oilers and sight glasses. If the oiler can be accessed easily from either side of the bearing
frame, the recommendation is to install it on the side of the bearing frame that the rotation of
the shaft would push the oil toward. That is if, when facing the shaft, the rotation is clockwise
the oiler would be on the left and when counter clockwise the oiler would be on the right.
