INSTALLATION
SITE
Pump should be as close to water supply as possible. Suction lift including pipe friction
should not exceed 24 feet at sea level. For each 1200 feet altitude, deduct 1 foot for practical
suction lift.
Should pump become flooded, drain oil fro'm crankcase, replace oil and check pump over
generally.
FOUNDATION
lnstall pump on firm foundation, preferably concrete. Pump should be set level.
SUCTION LINE
Suction line should rise towards pump at all times. Avoid high points so as to ensure air
is not trapped in line.
Keep suction line as free of bends as possible.
Pipe diameter should be no sm,aller than that for which the pump is screwed. On long pipe
lines where a large volume is pumped, a size larger is pieferable.
INSTALLATION CONTINUED
DISCHARGE LINE
The diameter of the discharge line will depend on the work the pump has to perform, in-
cluding friction in that line. The smaller the pipe ihe higher the friction load and power consump-
tion. A check valve fitted in the discharge line as close to the pump as possible, protects the pump
from water hammer and from damage through flow back of water. This also holds back this
water when maintenance is being carried out on the pump.
Both suction and discharge piping must be supported independently of the pump.
Should a gate valve be installed in the delivery, this MUST BE OPENED before starting
pLlmp. lt is always advisable in installations where a gate valve is {itied to have a relief valve
between purmp and gate valve to protect pump from damage in case line is shut off or becomes
blocked.
GLAND PACKING
Packing should be renewed periodically to protect excessive leakage from the gland and
prevent damage to the piston rod. When replacing, insert each ring separately, seating it firmly
and staggering ihe joints. The last ring of packing should not protrude beyond the stuffing box.
lnstall the gland and tighten the nuts evenly by hand. Allow a slight leakage at all times as this
is necessary to cool and lubricate the packing. Wait until the pump is running before making the
final adjustment.
Unduly tight packing increases power consurmption and causes wear on piston rod.
PRIMING PUMP
Pump can be primed by removing plug from the top of ihe suction chamber and filling the
chamber and suction line completely with water. Before replacing plug, watch water level for short
time to see if the footvalve is holding.
, IRATION
Before starting pump ensure gear case is filled with oil to a point level with the bottom of
the oil return channel. SAE 140 Oil is recommended.
It is advisable after the f irst 48 hours of actual pumping to drain the original oil and re-
place with fresh. Oil level should be inspected every few months,
Before starting turn the pump by hand and ensure all suction, bypass, and discharge valves
are open.
TROUBLE SHOOTTNG
Piston pumps are noted for long operation periods with little more than routine lubrication
and inspection. However, like all other pumps, these units can develop trouble. These are usually
hydraulic troubles, or troubles connected with the installation of the complete unit. Some of these
are analysed below.
PUMP DOES NOT DISCHAR,GE
Suction Lift too High: At sea level a pump hand!ing water should not have a suction lift
greater than 24 feet.
Pump Not Primed: Prime pump by filling the suction line above foot valve with liquid.
^
Open any vents on discharge side io free pump of air while filling.
SuctionAir Bound: Checks for leaks in suction pipe.
Obstructions in Suction Line: Check suction pipe and strainer to see that they are free of
rust, debris, and other obstructions
Worn Parts: Worn valves, piston rod packing and piston buckets can cause a pump to lose
suction. Replace as necessary.
PIPING VIBR.ATES
Undersize Discharge Pipe: Use a larger size of discharge line, if it is possible to change the
piping. lf this cannot be done, install an air chamber in the discharge line, close to the pump.
This will red'uce the pressure surges in the pipe.
On Forrers Power Pumps an air chamber is supplied as standard equipment.
Undersize Suction Pipe: lncrease size of piping or reduce its length. lnstall a suction air
chamber close to the pump to reduce pressure surge pulsations during operation. On sizes up to
and including 6in. bore x 6in. stroke this chamber is supplied.
Piston Rod Defects: Piston rod may be worn or bent causing uneven wear of the packing.
Check also for burrs on the rod. Replace badly damaged rods with new ones.
. High Discharge Prdssure: lnspect piping for closed valve, increase in relief valve setting or
an obstruction in the piping. Where additional piping has been installed, check friction loss-has
not increased the duty above the rated m.aximum head of the pump.
