 Part I Installation
1.1 Installation and safety requirements
Pumps, like other equipment, must be properly installed to ensure reliability
and operation. The pump must also be maintained in proper operating
condition. Following these recommendations will ensure operator safety and
reliable pump operation.

1.2.1 General rule

When transporting hazardous or odorous materials, effective ventilation
devices should be installed to evacuate harmful steam. It is recommended
that the pump be installed in good lighting conditions as far as possible, so
that the pump can be effectively maintained. When conveying certain media,
use proper flushing. The discharge device can simplify the maintenance and
prolong the service life of the pump components.

1.2.2 System design and installation

In the system design stage, the requirements for plug and the installation of
check valve and stop valve must be considered. The pump cannot be used as
a check valve.Check valves must be installed in parallel and with high
output hydrostatic heads. In addition, the pump system shall be equipped
with anti-overpressure and anti-air rotation devices.

1. Horizontal installation
Generally, it is installed horizontally on the bottom of the plate, grouted and
bolted to ensure firm installation and reduce noise and vibration.
After the pump is fixed with bolts, the whole pump device shall be inspected
to ensure that motor shaft keep in a line with pump axis.

2. Vertical installation
If the pump must be installed vertically, the approval of the production
company must be obtained before installation. All pipework shall be
supported independently during installation.

1.3.1 Lifting installation

Attention should be paid to the safe handling of pump components during
installation and maintenance. When the weight of the pump or its
components exceeds 20KG (45Ib), appropriate lifting devices are
recommended to avoid injury to personnel and damage to the parts.

For safety, slings should be used when handling the pump head and the
whole pump unit (pump, gearbox, motor, etc.). The lifting position depends
on the specific structure of the pump. It should be operated by experienced
personnel to avoid damage to the pump and casualties.

If there is a ring bolt, it can only be used to lift the part where the eyebolts
are located.

1.3.2 Storage
This paper also describes the work that should be done when the pump is
used with low frequency.
Short term storage
If the pump needs to be stored for less than 6 months,, it is recommended to
take the following measures.
1. Put the pump indoors as far as possible, if cannot, at least add a shield and
keep the environment around it dry.
2. If the pump is installed with drain plug, remove it. At the same time, the
cover plate of the observation hole should be removed to dry the pump
thoroughly.
3. If a packing seal is used, loosen the packing gland, fill as much grease as
possible into the stuffing box, and then tighten the gland nut manually. If
water flushing device is used in packing chamber, lubricating grease is not
required. It is recommended to add a small amount of clean oil.
4. For the storage of motor, gearbox and driving devices, please refer to the
manufacturer's introduction of relevant parts.

Long-term storage
If the storage time of the pump exceeds 6 months, in addition to the above
requirements, the following measures should be taken regularly (once every 2-
3 weeks).
1. Rotate the pump rotor for at least three-quarters of a turn to prevent the
rotor from seizing the stator.
2. Caution: each rotation should not exceed two cycles to avoid damage to
rotor and stator components.

Preparation before pump installation and start up

Make sure all plugs and caps are in place before installation and remove
excess grease or oil from the stuffing box.
1.4 Electrical equipment
Electrical installations shall meet the requirements of both power and working
conditions. If there are any questions about the compatibility of the equipment,
please consult our company. The starting device of pump is direct starting.

There should be a ground wire on the electric drive, and they should be
properly connected . When checking the speed of the motor when it is
electrified, the start and stop should be completed instantaneously to prevent
idling or pressurizing the upstream equipment (check the steering arrow on the
pump nameplate). Electrical equipment shall include suitable insulation to
ensure safe operation of the pump.

1.5 Safety and check valves

1. It is recommended to install a safety valve at the pump outlet to prevent
system over-pressure.
2. It is also recommended to install a check valve on the outlet side (no
negative pressure on the pump) to prevent the return of the media.
When both the safety valve and the check valve are installed in the system, it is
recommended that the safety valve be installed closer to the pump body than
the check valve.
Special Caution:
It is strictly forbidden to operate the pump when the inlet or outlet valves are
closed to avoid mechanical failure.

1.6 Safety rules

When flushing the pump, be sure to avoid splashing the flushing liquid on the
electrical installation.
Before starting the pump, check the bolts, nuts, flanges and base to
ensure that they are not loose. To eliminate vibration, pump and actuators must
be properly aligned, and all guards installed. During the test run, all
connecting should be thoroughly checked to ensure no leakage.
If the pump does not work normally after starting, stop the pump immediately
and check the reason. It is recommended to install a vacuum gauge at the pump
inlet and a pressure gauge at the outlet for real-time monitoring of the pump
operation.

1.7 Working conditions

Working conditions of the pump, such as component material, medium flow,
pressure, temperature, motor speed, etc. When transporting dangerous medium,
safety load of safety valve and leakage of packing should be considered.
If the working conditions of the pump need to change, the user should contact
our company in time. considering the user's interests, equipment safety,
effectiveness, pump service life and other factors.Our company will give
reasonable suggestions according to the actual situation .

2. Starting the pump

Before starting the pump, it should be filled with liquid until the pump can
achieve self-priming. It is not only to fill the pump, but also to provide enough
lubrication to the stator before starting. When the pump stops, enough liquid
will remain in the rotor/stator chamber to lubrication for the next start up.
If the pump is not used for a long time, is moved to a new position, or is being
reassembled, the pump chamber should be filled with liquid and manually
rotated several times before starting. Because the stator/rotor is closely
matched, it is usually difficult to turn the pump. But after the pump starts
normally, the resistance disappears.
 Part II Precautions for pump installation

2.1 Idling
No idling pump! Even a few turns will immediately damage the stator.
Continuous idling will have destructive consequences.

2.2 Pump steering

Viewed from the motor end, the pump inlet is at the drive end when rotating
counterclockwise.

Note:
Before changing the direction of the pump, consult our company to make the
pump suitable for new working conditions.

2.3.1 Packing
If the pump is equipped with packing seal (packing is non-asbestos material),
the position of packing gland should be adjusted during the initial operation of
the pump. When the new packing is used, it should be compressed by
tightening the nuts on the gland manually, which should last for about 3 days.

In the following week, gradually tighten the gland to make the overflow rate
reach the recommended value in the table below. Under normal conditions, a
small amount of leakage helps to cool and lubricate the packing. A properly
adjusted gland will keep the packing from leaking.
Typical overflow rate at packing gland
Shaft diameter 50mm, 2 drops per minute
50mm shaft diameter 75mm, 3 drops per minute
75mm shaft diameter 100mm, 4 drops per minute
100 mm shaft diameter 125 mm, 5 drops per minute
125mm shaft diameter 160mm, 6 drops per minute

When the pump works normally, a small amount of leakage at the gland
caused by the medium is allowed, which helps to lubricate the packing.
However, when transporting corrosive or abrasive media, leakage is not
expected. In this case, the gland should be tightened during the operation of
the pump to prevent medium leakage or external air from entering the
packing.
In particular, for hazardous media, it should be considered to set up a
discharge device in the packing chamber.
Caution: special care must be taken in adjusting the cover during the
operation of pump

2.3.2 Mechanical seals - all pumps

If the pump is installed with a mechanical seal, consideration should be given
to providing sealing fluid to some sealing components. Refer to the seal
manufacturer's instructions.

2.4 Protective devices

For safety and in compliance with National Health and safety regulations,
pumps must be replaced with all protective devices after necessary
calibration.
Alarm and control device:
If an alarm or control device is installed, they should be set according to their
respective requirements before starting the pump.

Pump operating temperature

The possible temperature range of the pump surface depends on the media
temperature, the surrounding environment and other factors, medium
temperature, the surrounding environment and other factors. Sometimes the
pump surface temperature can reach 50 °C.
In this case, relevant personnel should be informed and appropriate protective
and warning measures should be taken.

Noise standard
1. Noise at the distance of 1 m from the pump shall not exceed 85dB.
2. The noise value measured by a typical pump device does not include other
sound sources and the noise reflected by buildings.

Lubrication
For pumps with bearings installed, check periodically if grease is sufficient. If
replenishment is required, grease should be added to one third of the full
bearing cavity at the end of the bearing chamber.
Bearings need to be inspected regularly to maintain optimum performance. The
inspection is best carried out during the regular maintenance period when the
user stops the pump.
For high temperature or other harsh working conditions, the bearing must be
inspected frequently. Users are advised to customize the appropriate
maintenance plan or maintenance cycle. Replenish grease or similar products.
 Part III Cleaning before pump operation

3.1 Non-food industry

It is recommended to clean the pump before a new pump is put into use or a
used pump is put into use again.

3.2 Food industry

For pumps used in the food industry, it is necessary to ensure that the pumps
are clean before operation.
Therefore, the pump should be cleaned under the following conditions:
1. The pump is put into operation for the first time
2. Replace any spare parts for the overflow part of the pump.

The recommended cleaning steps are as follow :

Steps of cleaning
1. Alkaline, 75 for 20 minutes;
2. Rinse with water, 80 for 20 minutes;
3. Acid, temperature 50 for 20 minutes;
4. Rinse with water, 80 for 20 minutes.

During cleaning in production line (CIP), the flow rate (i.e. pump speed)
should be increased as much as possible to obtain the best cleaning effect.

A flow rate of 1.5-2.0m/s is required to remove solids and contaminants.

.
The pump equipped with CIP by-pass port can achieve high-speed cleaning
without increasing pump speed.
Do not choose active alkali or acid solution as far as possible, and other
alternative cleaning agents shall meet the requirements of the manufacturer.
All seals and gaskets that have been used during maintenance shall be
replaced.
The inside of the pump should be inspected frequently to ensure thorough
cleaning. Special attention should be paid to the elastic elements and seals,
which can be replaced if necessary
These four steps constitute a cycle. It is recommended to clean the pump
according to the cycle before putting it into use in the food industry.
Once the pump is put into use, the cleaning process will depend on the use
of the pump. The user must ensure that the cleaning steps are used under the
required working conditions when purchasing the pump.

Explosive materials / hazardous environment

In some working conditions, medium through pump has a certain degree of
danger.
In such cases, consideration must be given to the provision of appropriate
protective measures and related warnings to ensure the safety of equipment
and personnel.

Maintenance of vulnerable parts

Rotor and stator
The wear rate of these two components is related to many factors, such as
the wear characteristics of the pumping material, rotating speed, pressure
and so on.
When the performance of the pump cannot meet the requirements, one or
both of the stator and rotor should be replaced at the same time.

Drive - pumps with packing seals only

The wear rate of the packing contact surface depends on many factors,
such as the wear resistance of the medium and the rotational speed.
Regular maintenance of packing can maximize the service life of pump
shaft.When the shaft seal cannot be used, the shaft and the packing need
to be replaced at the same time.
