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 Trico oiler is fitted this
should be set to the proper height.
The oil filled bottle should then be refitted so as to
return it to the upright position. Filling should be
repeated until oil remains visible within the bottle.
Approximate oil volumes are shown in section 3.4.2,
Pump and impeller data.
Grease lubricated pumps and electric motors are
supplied pre-greased.
Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should be
lubricated in accordance with their manuals.
In the case of product lubricated
bearings the source of product supply should be
checked against the order. There may be
requirements for an external clean supply, particular
supply pressure or the commencement of lubrication
supply before pump start-up.
