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) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals.
The correct functioning of the shaft seal must be
checked regularly.
c) Check that the duty condition is in the safe
operating range for the pump.
d) Check vibration, noise level and surface temperature
at the bearings to confirm satisfactory operation.
e) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas around
close clearances, bearing housings and motors.
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 the 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 any auxiliary supplies eg heating/cooling
(if fitted) are functioning correctly.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for routine checks needed.
6.2.2 Periodic inspection (six monthly)
Check foundation bolts for security of
attachment and corrosion.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for periodic checks needed.
6.2.3 Mechanical seals
When leakage becomes unacceptable the seal will
need replacement.
6.3 Spare parts
6.3.1 Ordering of spares
Flowserve keeps records of all pumps that have been
supplied. When ordering spares the following
information should be quoted.
1) Pump serial number.
2) Pump size.
3) Part name – taken from section 8.
4) Part number – taken from section 8.
5) Number of parts required.
The pump size and serial number are shown on the
pump nameplate.
To ensure continued satisfactory operation, replacement
parts to the original design specification should be
obtained from Flowserve. Any change to the original
design specification (modification or use of a non-
standard part) will invalidate the pump’s safety
certification.
6.3.2 Storage of spares
Spares should be stored in a clean dry area away
from vibration. Inspection and re-treatment of
metallic surfaces (if necessary) with preservative is
recommended at 6 monthly intervals.
