which could cause dangerous excessive pressures to
occur if there is heat input to the liquid. This can occur if
the pump is stationary or running.

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:

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 5.2.2,


Bearing sizes and capacities.

Grease lubricated pumps and electric motors are


supplied pre-greased.

Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should


be lubricated in accordance with their manuals.
