If platforms, stairs and guard rails are required for
maintenance, they must be placed for easy access to
areas where maintenance and inspection are to be
carried out. The positioning of these accessories
must not limit access or hinder the lifting of the part to
be serviced.
When air or compressed inert gas is used in the
maintenance process, the operator and anyone in the
vicinity must be careful and have the appropriate
protection.
Do not spray air or compressed inert gas on skin.
Do not direct an air or gas jet towards other people.
Never use air or compressed inert gas to clean clothes.
Before working on the pump, take measures to
prevent an uncontrolled start. Put a warning board
on the starting device with the words:
"Machine under repair: do not start".
With electric drive equipment, lock the main switch
open and withdraw any fuses. Put a warning board
on the fuse box or main switch with the words:
"Machine under repair: do not connect".
Never clean equipment with inflammable solvents or
carbon tetrachloride. Protect yourself against toxic
fumes when using cleaning agents.
6.2 Maintenance schedule
It is recommended that a maintenance plan
and schedule is adopted, in line with these User
Instructions, to include the following:
a) Any auxiliary systems installed must be monitored,
if necessary, to ensure they function correctly.
b) Gland packings must be adjusted correctly to
give visible leakage and concentric alignment of
the gland follower to prevent excessive
temperature of the packing or follower.
c) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals.
The correct functioning of the shaft seal must be
checked regularly.
d) Check bearing lubricant level, and if the hours
run show a lubricant change is required.
e) Check that the duty condition is in the safe
operating range for the pump.
f) Check vibration, noise level and surface
temperature at the bearings to confirm
satisfactory operation.
g) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas around
close clearances, bearing housings and motors.
h) Check flexible coupling alignment and re-align if
necessary.
Our specialist service personnel can help with
preventative maintenance records and provide
condition monitoring for temperature and vibration to
identify the onset of potential problems.
If any problems are found the following sequence of
actions should take place:
a)
Refer to section 7, Faults; causes and remedies,
for fault diagnosis.
b) Ensure equipment complies with the
recommendations in this manual.
c) Contact Flowserve if the problem persists.
6.2.1
Routine inspection (daily/weekly)
The following checks should be made
and appropriate action taken to remedy any deviations:
a)
Check operating behaviour. Ensure noise,
vibration and bearing temperatures are normal.
b) Check that there are no abnormal fluid or
lubricant leaks (static and dynamic seals) and
that any sealant systems (if fitted) are full and
operating normally.
c) Check that shaft seal leaks are within acceptable
limits.
d) Check the level and condition of oil lubricant.
On grease lubricated pumps, check running
hours since last recharge of grease or complete
grease change.
e) Check any auxiliary supplies e.g. heating/cooling/
lubrication (if fitted) are functioning correctly.
f) Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for routine checks needed.
6.2.2
Periodic inspection (six monthly)
a) Check foundation bolts for
security of attachment and corrosion.
b) Check pump running records for hourly usage to
determine if bearing lubricant requires changing.
c) The coupling should be checked for correct
alignment and worn driving elements.
d) Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for periodic checks needed.
6.2.3
Re-lubrication
For general guidelines refer to section 5.2.5,
Lubrication schedule.
Lubricant and bearing temperature analysis can be
useful in optimizing lubricant change intervals.
