following parts should be checked for clearance, which if exceed the values given in
technical data sheet, are to be replaced.
a)impeller and wear ring.
b)impeller and impeller guide piece.
c)shaft/shaft sleeves and bearing bush.
03 The rubber rings and rubber bearings used for water lubricated pumps must not come in
contact with grease, oil, petrol, paint etc. these parts are to be cleaned with clear cold
water.
04 While ordering the spare parts the details of the name –plate must be quoted in full.
Name of part and part no. must be given.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
01 For erection refer cross sectional assembly. Drawing no. V37P123 S4AO43001/R2 and
general arrangement drawing no. V37 P123 S4 A04 3000 R2
02 Keep the pump bowl (120) in horizontal position. Check that brg. Holder with bowl
bearing (354) for impeller shaft (186) is already fitted in pump bowl and it is in good
condition.
03 Take the impeller shaft (186) and clean it properly. Then fit the impeller shaft sleeve (316)
on impeller shaft with key (320). Insert the Impeller shaft into the bowl from outlet end of
the bowl.
04 Fit the impeller (156) carefully on impeller shaft
05 Fit the impeller nut (330) Along with lock washer (410). Lock the impeller nut by folding
the lock washer on impeller nut.
06 Take the impeller piece (212) and fit to the pump bowl (120)taking guide of pump bowl
with “0” ring in between .Fit the ball mouth (211) to fitted with bearing bush impeller
guide piece (212).
07 Connect the taper column pipe (141) with pump bowl (1200 with “0’ ring in between
08 Fit the bearing spider along with thordon bearing (3570 for in shat to taper column pipe
with “O” ring (524) in between.
09 Now fit the clamps on taper column pipe (141) and make the whole assembly unit vertical
10 Lower this assembly in the opening provided in foundation plate till the clamps rest on
sole plate.
COLUMN UNIT ASSEMBLY
01 Put the “O” ring for column unit in the groove of bearing spider
02 Put clamps on column pipe (133) and the clamp for intermediate shaft on intermediate
shaft (184). Now suspend this unit on the subassembly such that intermediate shaft
protrudes out of column pipe
MUFF COUPLING ASSEMBLY
01 First slide the muff coupling (345) on lower end of the intermediate shaft. Ensure that
keys (321) for muff coupling are fitted on both the shafts. put the split ring for muff
coupling (405).with slight adjustment of shafts slide the muff coupling on impeller shaft.
Ensure the proper fitting of muff coupling the tighten the grub screw on muff coupling
02 Connect the intermediate shaft with impeller shaft with the help of muff coupling(345)
03 Connect the column pipe with taper pipe with bearing spider in between
04 Lift the subassembly slightly and remove the clamps on taper column pipes. Now lower
this subassembly till the clamp on column pipe rests on foundation plates.
05 Take the head shaft (185) and fit the distance sleeve (317) on it such that it rests on collar
of the head shaft. Also fit the shaft sleeve drive side (310) with the help of key for shaft
sleeve (323). Tighten it by means of shaft sleeve nuts (334). Fit the stuffing box housing
(238) fitted with throdon bearing to discharge tee (286) along with “O” ring (525) in
between .connect head shaft (185.1) and discharge (286) to the column pipe with bearing
spider fitted with throdon bearing (357) in between.
06 Lift the subassembly slightly and remove the clamps fixed to the column pipe and lower
to the complete unit till the discharge tee (286) rests on the sole plate. Take pump base
(135) and connect is with (286) discharge tee level the pump base by means of precision
spirit level which should be placed on the machined surface of the pump base. Check the
level in two directions at right angles to one another. Adjust the level by means of
metallic shims. Tighten the foundation bolts. The level on pump base should be within
0.05 mm/meter
07 The thrust bearing housing (247)is supplied in partially assembly condition with cooling
coil assembly (370), oil retaining tube (277), thrust bearing lid (279), housing for journal
bearing carrier thoroughly and fit it on pump base (380).
08 Fit the outer race of antifriction type thrust bearing segments (Glacier make) in the thrust
bearing housing (247). Pour little quantity of oil for lubrication. Fit inner race of spherical
rollers bearing.(261) on thrust collar(363). Fit the keys for trust collar (383) on head shaft.
Now slide down the thrust collar on head shaft till the roller rests on outer race of
spherical roller bearing.
09 Put the thrust bearing lid (279) and fit the housing for journal bearing along with journal
bearing (371) on thrust bearing carrier.
10 Pour sufficient quantity of oil to coincide the mark on oil level indicator fit the ratchet
cover (474) on thrust bearing carrier.
IMPELLER ADJUSTMENT
01 Lift of the rotating unit as per instruction given below is essential to ensure free rotation
of the pump.
02 Fit the bearing nut (325) on the head shaft and rotate bearing nut by hand (threads are
anti clockwise) till it touches firmly against the face of thrust collar(363)
Do not tighten it further. Measure the distance between the head shaft end and top
surface of the bearing nut (335). Then tighten the bearing nut (335) against the thrust
collar (363) till the rotating assembly is lifted by 3.5 mm lock the bearing nut (335) by
means if lock nut (336) by tightening against each other and lock nut by means of
countersunk screw.
03 Insert key for pump coupling on head shaft (321). Fit the coupling on head shaft (185) till
it rests on the lock nut (336).
04 Fit the motor stool (290) on pump base (380). Then fit the driver coupling (391) on motor
shaft end is 10 mm inside the driver coupling face.
05 Mount the motor on motor stool (290). Check the gap between the two coupling faces it
should be 10 mm 2mm .if it is more less then take driver coupling downward or upwards
so that gap is within limits.
 06 Check the directions of motor separately. It should rotate clockwise when viewed from
top.
07 Insert the coupling pins (404) through pump half coupling along with coupling bushes
(400) and washers for coupling pins (409).
