It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN

DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility when
wiring up and installing equipment on site.
Attention must be paid to ensure that the techniques
used during wiring/installation do not increase
electromagnetic emissions or decrease the
electromagnetic immunity of the equipment, wiring or
any connected devices. If in any doubt, contact
Flowserve for advice.

The motor must be wired up in

accordance with the motor manufacturer's
instructions (normally supplied within the terminal
box) including any temperature, earth leakage,
current and other protective devices as appropriate.
The identification nameplate should be checked to
ensure the power supply is appropriate.

A device to provide emergency stopping shall be
fitted.

Carry out the ground connections according to the
current local regulations.

To avoid any risk of jamming, the

direction of rotation will be checked after priming of
the pump (§ 5.4.1, 5.4.2) and before the first start (§
5.5.2).

4.7 Final shaft alignment check

a) Check the alignment pump-motor according to

the procedure § 4.4.2. Rectify if necessary by
adjusting the motor only.

b) Check by hand that the pump turns freely.

A binding indicates a distortion of the pump,
which is due to excessive pipes strains. If
necessary the pipework design must be re-
examined.

c) If it provided, connect auxiliary pipe systems

(hydraulic, pneumatic, sealing system).

d) Control tightness and functionality of auxiliary

piping.

4.8 Protection systems

The following protection systems are

recommended particularly if the pump is installed in
a potentially explosive area or is handling a
hazardous liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve. If
there is any possibility of the system allowing the
pump to run against a closed valve or below
minimum continuous safe flow a protection device
should be installed to ensure the temperature of the
liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.

If there are any circumstances in which the system
can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a
power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or
prevent it from being started.
This is particularly relevant if the pump is handling a
flammable liquid.

If leakage of product from the pump or its associated
sealing system can cause a hazard it is
recommended that an appropriate leakage detection
system is installed.

To prevent excessive surface temperatures at
bearings it is recommended that temperature or
vibration monitoring are carried out. See sections
5.6.4 and 5.6.5.

If a defect of cooling can lead to temperature higher
than those acceptable a system of cooling
surveillance must be installed.

Except when explicitly required by the customer in
the specifications, when a possibility of reverse
rotation exists the customer must install a reverse
rotation protection device.

The customer must install all equipment required to
avoid water hammer.

5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP,
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN

These operations must be carried out by

fully qualified personnel.

5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure

5.1.1 Lubrication
Determine the mode of lubrication of the pump set,
eg grease, oil, product lubrication etc.

For oil lubricated pumps, fill the

bearing housing with correct grade of oil to the
correct level, ie sight glass or constant level oiler
bottle.

When fitted with a constant level oiler, the bearing
housing should be filled by unscrewing or hinging
back the transparent bottle and filling the bottle with
oil. Where an adjustable body Denco oiler is fitted
this should be set to the height shown in the
following diagram:
