6.2.2 Routine inspection (daily/weekly)
The following checks should be made
and the appropriate action taken to remedy any
deviations:
a) Check operating behavior. 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) Pump fitted with a stuffing box: leakage of 20
drops per minute.
d) Pump fitted with a mechanical seal: no leakage.
e) Check the level and condition of oil lubricant. On
grease lubricated pumps, check running hours
since last recharge of grease or complete
grease change.
6.2.3 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.
If a check shows a bad running of the
motor pump unit, the user must:
a) Refer to the "fault finding chart" chapter 7
of this leaflet to apply the recommended
solutions.
b) Ensure that your equipment corresponds to the
arrangements of this leaflet.
c) Contact Flowserve after-sales Department if the
problem persists.
