the shaft. Locate the outer magnet per dimension “A”

listed below. Tighten the two setscrews to lock into

proper position.

DANGER !

Before opening any Viking pump liquid

chamber (pumping chamber, reservoir, relief

valve adjusting cap fitting etc.) Be sure:
1. That any pressure in the chamber has

been completely vented through the

suction or discharge lines or other

appropriate openings or connections.

2. That the driving means (motor, turbine,

engine, etc.) has been “locked out” or

made non- operational so that it cannot

be started while work is being done on

pump.

3. That you know what liquid the pump

has been handling and the precautions

necessary to safely handle the liquid.

Obtain a material safety data sheet

(MSDS) for the liquid to be sure these

precautions are understood.

Failure to follow above listed precautionary

measures may result in serious injury or

death.

DISASSEMBLY – RELIEF VALVE:

Mark the valve and head before disassembly to ensure

proper reassembly.
1. Remove the valve cap.
2. Measure and record the length of extension of the

adjusting screw. Refer to

“A” on Figure 26.

3. Loosen the locknut and back out the adjusting screw until

spring pressure is released.

4. Remove the bonnet, spring guide, spring and poppet from

the valve body. Clean and inspect all parts for wear or

damage and replace as necessary.

ASSEMBLY – RELIEF VALVE:

Reverse the procedures outlined under

DISASSEMBLY –

RELIEF VALVE. If the valve is removed for repairs, be sure

to replace in the original position. The relief valve adjusting

screw cap must

always point towards the suction side of

the pump. If the pump rotation is reversed, remove the relief

valve and turn end for end.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT:

If a new spring is installed or if pressure setting of pressure

relief valve is to be changed from that which the factory has

set, the following instructions must be carefully followed.
1. Carefully remove valve cap which covers adjusting screw.
Loosen locknut which locks adjusting screw so pressure

setting will not change during operation of pump.

2. Install a pressure gauge in discharge line for actual

adjusting operation.

3. Turn adjusting screw in to increase pressure and out to

decrease pressure.

4. With discharge line closed at point beyond pressure

gauge, gauge will show maximum pressure valve will

allow while pump is in operation.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

A Viking pump that is properly installed and maintained will

give long satisfactory performance.
If trouble does develop, one of the first steps toward finding

the difficulty is to install a vacuum gauge in the suction line

and a pressure gauge in the discharge line. Readings on

these gauges often give a clue on where to start looking for

trouble.

Vacuum Gauge - Suction Port

High vacuum reading would indicate:
1.
Suction line is blocked, a valve is closed, a strainer is

plugged or a pinched suction hose.

2. Suction line is too small.
3. Liquid is too viscous to flow through piping.
4. Lift required too high.
Low reading would indicate:
1.
Air leak in the suction line.
2. The end of pipe is not in the liquid.
3. The pump is worn.
