WARNING! before any maintenance or service is

Pump unit moving and locating


instructions are intended as a guide only.
INFORMATION ! Site preparation, unit towing and
positioning to be undertaken with regard
to site conditions and procedures.

Multiflo Pumps are mounted on a skid base chassis. A robust push beam assembly
and towing brackets are attached to the skid base to enable the unit to be pushed or
pulled.

For long term pumping operations in deep water or in high rain fall areas, the pump,
complete with skid base, can be mounted on a floating pontoon. Skids are also
provided at the base of the pontoon.

Before preparing the pump site, consideration must be given to the best pumping
location, with the aim at positioning the pump as near as possible to the deepest part
of the water catchment area.

Weir Minerals Multiflo Model 420 Pump Unit – Installation Manual 8


(Unit fitted with Model 57 Vacuum Pump) Rev 03.08
(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

1.4.1.1 Pump Site Preparation

Proper pump site preparation is important. It should provide a good approach


for the final positioning of the pump and allow access for fuel and service
vehicles. Also, when using a skid mounted pump in areas prone to flash
flooding after heavy rainfall, quick access to the unit maybe needed to tow it to
safer ground.

For skid mounted pumps, the site should be prepared as close to the water as
possible and the final resting place of the pump should be reasonably level.
Operating the pump at an incline of over 10° is not recommended.

1.4.1.2 Moving the Pump Unit

WARNING ! Pump unit to be moved by experienced


personnel only.

Moving or relocating a pump unit within the pit is normally done by a wheel
dozer or small track dozer. A small excavator can also be used especially for
launching pontoon units.

Obviously, the proper way to move a pump unit is by towing, using appropriate
tow chains. Pushing the pump unit over long distances or over uneven
ground is to be avoided.

1.4.1.3 Preparation for Towing

WARNING ! Pump unit to be connected to prime-mover


by suitable towing apparatus. Suitability of
towing apparatus to be determined
according to local site requirements

1. Ensure the pipes or hoses are disconnected from the wet end pump
discharge.

2. Stow any loose items of pump hardware, such as clamps, connectors, lengths
of pipe etc. that be may be lying around the deck.

3. Raise and secure the suction strainer and suction hose well clear of the
ground. The suction boom can remain in its normal suspended position.

Weir Minerals Multiflo Model 420 Pump Unit – Installation Manual 9


(Unit fitted with Model 57 Vacuum Pump) Rev 03.08
(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

4. If not already fitted, attach appropriate towing chains to the towing brackets at
the front of the pump unit skid base, or at the towing brackets at the front end
of the pontoon. The front end is the engine end of the pump unit.

5. Connect towing chains to the draw bar of the towing vehicle.

Towing should be kept at a reasonable safe speed and extra caution should be taken
when towing along haul roads, keeping as close as possible to the left side. Don't
tow or push the pump over rough, uneven ground. Unhitch the dozer and level the
way.

Final positioning will usually involve pushing the pump, either with the dozer blade or
the excavator bucket. For launching pontoon pumps, an excavator may be the best
tool. Pushing must be done with extreme caution and only on the push beam
assembly provided. Pontoon pumps are pushed on the pontoon push bar only and
not on the base chassis push beam. Under no circumstances should any pump unit
be pushed on the sides or at the suction end (rear).

Before launching a pontoon pump, consideration should be given to the best method
of connecting up the discharge line. (It is extremely difficult to connect up hoses and
pipes in deep water). If layflat hose is to be connected to the initial discharge pipe,
then this connection can be made before the pump is launched. If poly pipe is used,
one or two lengths can be connected to the pump discharge before launching and
the final connection made on land when the pontoon is floating.

To assist in positioning the pontoon when it is in the water, a rope tag line long
enough to reach the bank should be attached to it.

1.4.1.4 Procedure for the Movement, Locating and Launching of


Dewatering Pumps

WARNING ! Pump unit to be moved by experienced


personnel only.

Use When
Whenever pumps have to be moved, located and/or launched at a pump site.

Purpose
To minimise the risk of damage to equipment and injury to personnel when
moving and/or locating pumps at a pump site.

Before Starting
Before preparing a pump site, consideration must be given to the best

1.4.1.5 Procedure For Towing

1. Ensure appropriate towing chains are available for the particular pump
type.

2. Ensure that pipes and hoses are disconnected from the wet end pump
discharge.

3. Secure any loose items of pump hardware such as clamps, connectors,


lengths of pipe etc. that may be laying loose on the pump deck.

4. If not already fitted, attach appropriate towing chains to the towing


brackets at the front (engine) end of the pontoon.

5. Connect towing chains to the draw bar of the towing vehicle.

6. If ground is excessively rough, have it levelled first.

7. When towing, travel at a safe speed and keep as close as possible to the
left hand side of the road.

1.4.1.6. Positioning and Launching

1. Ensure that a suitable pump location is established which will provide a


good approach for final positioning and safe access for fuel and service
vehicles.

2. Skid mounted pumps should be positioned on level ground.

3. Pumps should be positioned/launched using a wheel dozer, small track


dozer or small excavator.

4. The operator of the dozer or excavator must be able to see the point at
which the blade or bucket is making contact with the pump. The pushing
operation must be directed by a person on the ground. The equipment
operator and person directing must be clear on the hand signals being
used by the person directing. Skid mounted pumps must only be pushed
on the push beam assembly provided.

Pontoon mounted pumps must only be pushed on the pontoon push bar,
and not on the pump push beam. (see diagrams)
Under no circumstance should any pump unit be pushed on the sides or at
the suction end (rear).

5. Before launching, consideration should be given to connecting layflat or


polypipe discharge lines. Final connections can then be done on land
after the pump is floating.

As well, a rope tag line long enough to reach the bank should be fitted to
assist in final pontoon positioning.

1.4.1.9 Pumping Operation Observations

Are the hose couplings at the wet end pump, both suction and discharge,
completely sealed?

Is the pump unit positioned as close as possible to the level of the fluid being
pumped? (If the height of the wet end pump is above 8 metres from the level
of fluid, the pump will not pump).

Is the suction strainer free from blockage and fully submerged in the fluid?

Is the largest possible pipe diameter, both at suction and discharge, being
used?

Is the vacuum tank gauge reading within the normal range (depending on
suction height)?

Is the wet end pump operating without cavitating?

Is the engine set at the correct speed (RPM) to give maximum pump
efficiency?

When using "layflat" hose, is it free from kinks and sharp turns?

When the wet end is primed and pumping does the vacuum pump stop
operating?
Does the vacuum prime indicator light (on the vactronic module) go out and
the water loss light and power light stay illuminated?

Is the pump unit situated in a safe position and not operating at an angle of
more than 10°?

Is there a good rate of liquid flow coming from the end of the discharge line?

Pump Unit that is not Pontoon Mounted:

What are weather conditions like?


Is there good access to the pump?
Should it have to be moved to a safer area of flooding?

If Cavitation is experienced during


pumping operations because of low
INFORMATION ! head, compensation for this can be made
by setting the position of the turn flow
valve.

2.1.3 General Description and Function


of Equipment
The type of Bare Shaft Pump used on Multiflo pumps is of the centrifugal
design. This type of Pump will not operate until initially filled with water
(primed). Multiflo pumps use an automatic prime system to initially prime and
to maintain prime as long as fluid is available.

The automatic prime system consists of the vacuum tank, vacuum pump and
fluid level control.

A vacuum gauge which is mounted in the vacuum tank indicates, while the
pump unit is operating, dynamic head loss in the suction system. As this
reading will vary with different pumping conditions, i.e. varying lengths of
suctions hose, height of pump unit above fluid, quantity of fluid being pumped
etc., it is impractical to predict a general vacuum gauge operating reading.

2.1.3.1 Operation

1. As the unit used vacuum to prime the Bare Shaft Pump, it is necessary
to ensure that the hose couplings to the Bare Shaft Pump, both suction
and discharge, are completely sealed.

It will be necessary to use a “non-return valve” to prevent the vacuum


pump sucking air back through the discharge side of the pump which
would cause the auto vacuum prime system to malfunction.

2. Although the unit is capable of suction lifts of up to eight metres, it is


advisable to install the pump unit as close as possible to the level of
the fluid being pumped to
obtain optimum flow rates.

3. In all pumping operations, ensure that a Multiflo suction strainer is fitted


to the suction hose. NOTE: The suction strainer should be no less
than 1 metre below the surface of the water.

4. Always use a large diameter hose for the suction, and use the correct
size pipe on the discharge to obtain maximum performance from the
unit.

2.2.2 Starting Procedures


Pump unit to be operated by experienced
WARNING ! personnel only.

1. Override Mechanism on the shutdown should be activated prior to, or


during starting.
2. Turn master disconnect switch to on.
3. Press low engine oil pressure override button.
4. Turn start switch to start the engine and idle at 750-800 RPM.
5. Engage the transmission at no more than 800RPM.
6. Increase the RPM to 1000 until the wet end primes (approximately –20
to –40) on the vacuum gauge). When primed, increase RPM to achieve
the desired duty point.

2.2.2.1 Start Up Procedure

1. Check all engine gauges.


2. Check for oil or water leaks etc around the engine
3. Check that the engine protections system is set.
4. The vacuum prime light will go out when the vacuum pump starts
pumping.

(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

2.2.2.2 Operating Speed

(To Set the Operating Speed).

1. Increase the engine RPM until the pump starts to cavitate. The pump
will vibrate and a crackling sound will be heard at the pump volute.
2. Decrease the RPM slowly until the pump stops cavitating completely.
The vibration and crackling sound will go away.

This is the correct engine operating speed for this application.

2.2.2.3 Cavitation

Cavitation is vaporised water in the form of air pockets around the


rotating impeller which can be identified by a bad vibration and rattling
noise coming from the pump casing. Also poor water discharge from the
pump outlet will be noticed.

This is caused by the impeller forcing water out of the discharge at a


faster rate than the water can be replaced through the suction of the
pump.

Cavitation can be caused by:


1. The pump being too high from the water being pumped
(Excessive suction lift).
2. The engine RPM or pump speed is too high for the required
duty.

The resulting effects of cavitation are:


 Pitting of material surfaces due to continual hammering action.
 Reduction in pump performance
 Damage to pump, if cavitation is severe

2.2.4 Shutdown Protection


2.2.4.1 Pump Shutdown System

The bare Shaft Pump protection system consists of a probe fitted into the
vacuum tank and a Multiflo control module which connects to the engine
shutdown.

The control module has an inbuilt six minute timer which activates when the
water level in the vacuum tank falls below the probe. The red indicating light
will flash. The unit will remain in this mode for six minutes before activating
the engine shutdown. Once this has occurred, the red indicating light will
switch off.

Should the pump pick up water within the six minutes after being activated, the
unit will automatically reset.

2.2.4.2 Waterloss Shutdown System

One of the unique safety features provided to protect the Multiflo pump during
operations is a “water loss” wet end shutdown system. A probe situated in the
vacuum tank (below the vacuum probe) activates the Vactronic Control
Module when it detects water or fluid loss at the wet end pump. If this water
loss situation remains for six minutes, the engine will be automatically shut
down. This is designed to minimize unnecessary operation of seals (gland)
and bearings.

When or if there is sufficient water available within the six minute period, the
shutdown system automatically resets.

2.3 Detailed Description of


Components
2.3.1 Bare Shaft Pump
The ‘HX’ range of Warman pumps are specifically designed for continuous
running in slurry and dirty water duties where ordinary water pumps are not
suitable. Acidic water found in many mine water run off situations can also be
handled.

The pump discharge can be orientated in almost any position through 360°
depending on mounting.

The impellers are specially designed to obtain high efficiencies without requiring
close clearances between impeller and casing, and still maintain the ability to
pass reasonable sized solids.

The wet end parts are cast from Ultrachrome A49 and the impeller is
constructed from Duplex C26 stainless steel. These long wearing materials
have been developed for abrasion and corrosion resistance and to give a long
life in slurry pumping applications.

2.3.2 Transmission
While most Twin Disc transmissions are forward/reverse reduction units, some
units provide speed increasing capability. All may be used with standard (right
hand) rotation engines and certain models may be modified to accommodate
non-standard (left hand) rotation engines. Contact your Twin Disc distributor if
you anticipate using non-standard engines.

Engine direction of rotation is


determined by facing the front of the
INFORMATION ! engine (opposite engine flywheel).
From this viewpoint, clockwise
crankshaft rotation is defined as right
hand rotation.

All current Twin Disc transmissions can be operated through either primary or
secondary clutch at full-rated horsepower for forward (ahead) propulsion using
standard engines. Contact Twin Disc for the rated horsepower if you
anticipate using non standard engines.

Transmission clutches are hydraulically applied using regulated oil pressure.


All bearings, clutches and gears are lubricated and cooled with oil.

2.3.2.1 Oil Pump Drive

For most transmissions, the secondary clutch shaft drives the oil pump. The
only exception is the MG540. It has two pumps - one driven by the primary
shaft and one driven by the secondary shaft.

2.3.2.2 Lubrication Features

The transmission case serves as the reservoir (sump) for all oil used in the
transmission. Bearings and clutches on the primary and secondary shafts are
lubricated and cooled through passageways in the shafts. Output shaft
bearings are gravity and/or splash lubricated. Some transmissions use
pressurized oil spray to lubricate gears and bearings.

2.3.2.3 Suction Screen

All units have a suction strainer located between the sump and oil pump in the
hydraulic circuit. Its purpose is to prevent debris from entering the inlet side of
the pump. The suction strainer must be cleaned as a part of every oil change.

(Unit fitted with Model 57 Vacuum Pump) Rev 07.07
(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

2.3.2.4 Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is required to maintain the oil temperature in the hydraulic
system within the recommended operating range. Proper oil temperature is
maintained by passing coolant through the heat exchanger.

2.3.2.5 Identification Plate

All Twin Disc transmissions are equipped with an Identification Plate. In


addition to information identifying the unit (i.e. model number, bill of material
number, ratio, serial number etc) the identification plate provides information
on oil capacity, and oil check/oil change intervals for your particular
transmission. All operators of this equipment are responsible to read and
apply the information provided on the transmission identification plate.

2.3.6 Non Return ‘Vooom’ Valve


Incorporated on the discharge side of the pump is a discharge line non-return
valve. This valve, open during pumping, will automatically close when
pumping stops.

The Non-Return Valve has two (2) purposes.


1. It prevents the fluid already in the discharge line from draining back and
flooding the vacuum tank. It has been known that if the non-return valve
is not working properly the head of water in the discharge pipe will flow
back through the pump and may turn the impeller off the thread of the
pump shaft.
2. It seals the discharge line when the pump is priming so a vacuum can be
created in the vacuum tank allowing the pump to prime or re-prime.

Therefore the non-return valve is an extremely important part in the pump’s


system.
The valve’s flap is manufactured from rubber with an inbuilt steel
counterweight (Multiflo “VOOOM” Valve). The flap should be inspected on a
regular basis.
If the pump is not priming and the gland packing is not leaking then maybe the
valve flap is damaged or stuck open.

1. As the unit used vacuum to prime the Bare Shaft Pump, it is necessary
to ensure that the hose couplings to the Bare Shaft Pump, both suction and
discharge, are completely sealed.

It will be necessary to use a “non-return valve” to prevent the vacuum pump


sucking air back through the discharge side of the pump which would cause
the auto vacuum prime system to malfunction.

2. Although the unit is capable of suction lifts of up to eight meters, it is


advisable to install the pump unit as close as possible to the level of the fluid
being pumped to
obtain optimum flow rates.

3. In all pumping operations, ensure that a Multiflo suction strainer is fitted


to the suction hose.

The suction strainer should be no less


INFORMATION ! than 1 metre below the surface of the
water.

4. Always use a large diameter hose for the suction, and use the correct
size pipe on the discharge to obtain maximum performance from the
unit.

In the event of this non-return valve sticking and failing to close when pumping
stops, fluid would then drain back and flood the vacuum tank. If such a case
occurred, fluid will be prevented from entering the vacuum pump by closing of
the vacuum valve by the action of the ball float rising to close off the vacuum
pump intake port.

2.3.7 Vactronic Vacuum Prime System


The Vactronic Vacuum Prime System consists of a probe fitted into the
vacuum tank, an electric clutch fitted to the vacuum pump and the Multiflo
control module.

Upon start up of the pump unit, the electric clutch engages drive and the
vacuum pump pulls a vacuum which lifts the water into the vacuum tank and
bare shaft pump.

When the water reaches the bare shaft pump, the pump primes and the water
level rises in the vacuum tank and covers the probe. Once this occurs, the
electric clutch disengages and the vacuum pump will not run. The vacuum
pump will remain in this mode under normal pumping conditions.

Should the water level drop below the probe, the vacuum pump will
automatically restart and run until the level in the vacuum tank is restored

The krundimendt valve, fitted to the top of the vacuum tank, acts as a check
valve. In the event of a shutdown, when the discharge line non-return valve
fails and floods the vacuum tank, the ball will rise in the krundimendt valve and
stop water from entering the vacuum pump. The one way check valve fitted in
the vacuum line, stops air being pulled back into the vacuum tank from the
vacuum pump.

2.3.8 Hydrau-Flo Fuel Pressure Control


Valve
What is Hydrau-Flo Fuel Pressure Control?
The Hydrau-Flo Fuel Pressure Control Valve has been designed to be used in
conjunction with existing “fast fill” systems. The Hydrau-Flo system consists of
several main components; the flow control valve, pilot line float valve, breather
and mounting hardware.

Weir Minerals Multiflo

Hydrau-Flo System Operation

The Hydrau-Flo Valve is activated via fuel level, not fuel pressure. When the
correct fuel level is attained, the system pressure build-up required to trigger the
fuel nozzle to shutoff is contained between the Hydrau-Flo assembly and the
fuel nozzle, not in the fuel tank.

The fuel nozzle cannot be over-ridden as


no matter what the pressure of the fuel
INFORMATION ! trying to open the piston is, it will always
be higher under the piston due to the
HYDRAU-FLO SYSTEM OPERATION
addition of spring pressure.

FIGURE 20
HYDRAU-FLO
SYSTEM
RE-FUELLING IN
PROGRESS

Fuel enters the system through a "fast fill" receiver and into the Hydrau-Flo
Valve body. Fuel pressure forces the shut-off piston open against spring
pressure allowing fuel to flow through the porting into the fuel tank.

Weir Minerals Multiflo Model 420 Pump Unit – Operation Manual 26


(Unit fitted with Model 57 Vacuum Pump) Rev 07.07
(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

An orifice in the piston also allows a metered amount of fuel to bleed off through
a capillary line to a float valve located in the tank. This creates a pressure drop
under the piston.

Spring pressure will force the piston to close the fuel ports preventing
any extra fuel from entering the fuel tank. When the fuel level in the tank
rises and closes the float valve, the fuel pressure is equalized on both
sides of the piston.

By preventing over filling above the pre-set float level in the tank, an air space
is maintained to allow for fuel expansion (due to temperature rise) and thus
prevent the possibility of fuel weeping through the air vents.

2.3.9 1000FH Turbine Series Fuel


Filter/Water Separators (If Fitted)
2.3.9.1 Overview

The 1000FH Turbine Series Filter


assemblies protect precision
engine components from dirt,
rust, algae, asphaltines,
varnishes and especially water,
which is prevalent in engine fuels.
They remove contaminants from
fuel using the following legendary
three stage process:

Stage One – Separation


As fuel enters the assembly, it
moves through the centrifuge and
spins off large solids and water
droplets, which are heavier than
fuel, and fall to the bottom of the
bowl.

Stage Two – Coalescing


Small water droplets bead-up on
the surface of the conical baffle
and cartridge element. When
heavy enough, they too fall to the
bottom of the collection bowl.

Stage Three – Filtration


Proprietary Aquabloc II cartridge
elements repel water and remove
contaminants from fuel down to 2
micron. Aquabloc II cartridge
elements are waterproof and
effective longer than water
absorbing elements

Turbine Series filter assemblies are designed to be installed on the vacuum


side of the fuel transfer pump for best efficiency (see installation diagram
further on). Adjustable one-piece clamp-type mounting brackets, with grade 5
fasteners, are included for ensured durability. The 1000FH uses two mounting
brackets. The see-thru contamination collection bowl allows the operator to
check for water and solid contamination at a glance.

2.3.9.2 Installation Instructions

The following customers supplied materials should be on hand before


beginning installation.

 Shop Towels
 Diesel Fuel (about 1 gallon)
 Thread Sealant (no thread tapes)

Weir Minerals Multiflo

When positioning the Filter Assembly:


FH filter assemblies should be installed on the vacuum side of the fuel transfer
pump for optimum water separating efficiency. (See ‘Installation Diagram’ on
the next page.)
Keep fuel line restrictions to a minimum. Locate the FH filter assembly
between the horizontal planes of the bottom of the fuel tank and the inlet of the
fuel pump, if possible. If the FH filter assembly is installed in an application
where the fuel tank is higher than the filter, a shut-off valve must be installed
between the tank and the FH filter assembly INLET. This will be used when
servicing the replacement element.

Before Installing the Filter Assembly:

Obtain good ventilation and lighting.


CAUTION ! Maintain a safe working environment.
The engine must be off for installation.
DO NOT smoke or allow open flames near
the installation.

Installing the Filter Assembly:

Completely remove any vacuum side filters in the fuel line between the fuel
tank and the fuel pump. This is where the FH filter assembly will mount.
Leaving these filters in place will add to the fuel line restriction. Filter heads
cast into the engine or that are non-removable or hard piped should be
serviced with a new element and left in place.

Keep fuel flow restriction valves to a minimum. Always use the maximum size
fuel hose possible. Do not make sharp bends with flexible fuel hose as kinks
may occur. Avoid the use of two 45° elbow fittings where one 90° elbow will
work.

When routing hose, avoid surfaces that will move, sharp edges, or will get hot
(such as exhaust piping).

Impeller adjustment is a key element in


extending the wear life. Field tests on
INFORMATION ! certain pumps indicate if impellers are
adjusted right forward when fitted and
again at regular intervals during the wear
life, then an increase of 40-50% in life can
be achieved over pumps which were not
correctly adjusted forwards at the initial
fit up. Further, pumps which were
regularly adjusted over their life have
shown a 20% increase over pumps which
were only adjusted once at the initial fit
up.

Recommended Procedure:

a) on initial fit up, adjust the impeller so it “just touches” the door.

b) re-adjust the impeller to “just touch” the door after 50-100 hours.

c) re-adjust a further two or three times at regular intervals during the wear life of
the pump.

d) After adjustment of the impeller, it is important to tighten the bearing


housing clamp to 185Nm.

Before applying power, verify that the


available power source matches the
ATTENTION ! configuration settings of the product as
described in the manual.

INFORMATION ! Packing will require adjustment


during initial start-up.

3.1.3 Maintenance Model 420


Bare Shaft Pump
These pump units are of robust construction and when correctly installed and
operated, will give long trouble free service with a minimum amount of
maintenance. There are only three areas of maintenance for the bare shaft pump
and these are:
 Gland
 Impeller
 Lubrication

3.1.3.1 Gland

The Multiflo Pumps' oil feed system provides lubrication and sealing of the
gland packing under snore and high vacuum conditions.

This system requires the use of "Flurograph 193" or equivalent packing, which
has been found, through experience, capable of providing excellent service
under the harsh conditions under which it may be called upon to operate.

The gland should be adjusted regularly to prevent excess leakage. The gland
must not be over tightened as this will lead to over heating of the gland area and
short life of the sealing components.

Weir Minerals Multiflo Model 420 Pump Unit – Maintenance Manual 15


(Unit fitted with Model 57 Vacuum Pump) Rev 04.08
(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

The pumps will require repacking when the gland follower is tight against the stuffing
box. It is imperative that all packing rings are replaced when repacking.
Replacement of only the first few sets of packing will lead to premature wear of
the shaft and priming difficulties.

Each ring of packing should be inserted separately and pushed in place into the
stuffing box. The split opening of the successive packing rings are to be
positioned at 180° intervals. A slight leak is desi rable from the newly packed
gland to allow the packing time to bed in. Excessive tightening at this period will
result in burning of the packing and scoring of the shaft.

All these pumps utilise four rows of ¾ gland packing. The part number for the
set of packing is PAK-DWF193

Gland Packing Removal:


The gland packing must be replaced when packing has deteriorated to the point
that no further tightening of the gland will provide a seal or when the gland
follower has reached the end of its travel. All packing rings must be replaced,
adding one or two new rings on top of the old rings is not sufficient to provide a
proper seal.
Remove the two gland adjustment nuts and withdraw the gland follower from
the stuffing box. Remove the two gland follower securing bolts then remove
both halves of the follower from the shaft.

Using the appropriate packing removal tool, (PAK 2) remove all packing rings
from stuffing box and clean out any remaining residue.

FIGURE 36
PACKING REMOVAL
TOOL
Gland Packing Installation:
New packing rings must be installed one at a time by placing rings on the shaft
and pressing each ring all the way into the stuffing box, ensuring the ends are
fitted neatly together. Successive ring joints must be staggered around stuffing
box. Pump models with Lantern rings should have the lantern ring re-installed. Check
with the pump manual for correct positioning between the gland packing rings.

Weir Minerals Multiflo Model 420 Pump Unit – Maintenance Manual 16


(Unit fitted with Model 57 Vacuum Pump) Rev 04.08
(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

Fit gland follower to shaft and nip gland nuts up to pack gland packing. Ensure
front face of gland follower has entered the stuffing box housing. If after
tightening the gland nuts the packing has compressed enough to allow space
for another ring, remove gland follower, fit extra packing ring, re-assemble
follower and nip gland nuts up again. Back nuts off and leave finger tight until
pump is started.

After pump has been started, the glands must be adjusted to provide
reasonable leakage. When water pressure is at a minimum the gland should
leak slightly, therefore when this pressure rises, leakage will necessarily be
excessive. If the gland is adjusted to provide optimum leakage at higher pump
rpm (high pressure), insufficient leakage will occur when the rpm falls or is less
from the point of adjustment.

The gland sealing water should be as clean as possible, as large amounts of


abrasive material can quickly wear the gland components. Always maintain a
very small amount of water leakage along the shaft by regularly adjusting the gland.

As well as lubricating and cooling the gland, the water escaping from the gland
also prevents the ingress of air when the pressure at the shaft falls below
atmospheric. Eg. when a vacuum is required.

If one of the following conditions apply, air may be induced into the pump
through the gland. This may prevent the pump “picking up” it’s prime or cause it
to loose its prime during operation.

 Packing has insufficient tension.


 Packing is excessively worn.
 Shaft sleeve is excessively worn.

Inspection of the gland will reveal if any of the above faults are occurring.

Gland Oil Tank:

The tank oil level should be checked on a regular basis. If the oil level drops at a
higher than normal rate, check the gland packing for adjustment or replacement. The
Tap on the oil feed line should remain open while the pump is in operation. If the
pump is not being used for an extended period of time, the tap should be turned
off until the pump is operated again.

As stated before the glands are designed for water lubrication and some
leakage is necessary during operation to lubricate and cool the packing and
shaft sleeve, however the oil feed system is used to assist with lubricating the
gland and shaft when the presence of water is limited.

Weir Minerals Multiflo Model 420 Pump Unit – Maintenance Manual 17


(Unit fitted with Model 57 Vacuum Pump) Rev 04.08
(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

Gland leakage at all times must be clean and free from as much abrasive
material as possible. If there is any sign of excess slurry leaking from a gland
then one of the following must be occurring:

 Gland packing requires replacement.


 Shaft sleeve requires replacement.
 Incorrect gland adjustment.

3.1.3.2 Impeller

The performance of the pump can change with excessive clearance between
the impeller and the front wear plate/door. For best performance it may be
necessary to occasionally stop the pump and move the impeller forward. This
adjustment can be carried our in a few minutes without any dismantling. The
procedure is:-

1. loosen drive on pump shaft


2. loosen bearing housing clamp bolts
3. adjust impeller forward so it “just touch the door
4. lock adjusting bolts
5. re-tighten bearing housing clamp bolts to 185Nm
6. tighten pump drive components.

3.1.3.3 Lubrication

A correctly assembled and pre-greased bearing assembly will have a long


trouble free life, provided it is protected against ingress of water or other foreign
matter and that it is adequately maintained. The bearing assembly should be
opened at regular intervals (no longer that 12 months) to inspect the bearing and
grease.

Multiflo recommend the use of automatic lubrication systems to ensure the


correct amount of grease is supplied to the bearings and labyrinths, however, if
units are to be greased manually, then the following schedule gives the suggested
grease requirements.

Drive End Bearing 145g of grease per ‘X’ hours


Pump End Bearing 115g of grease per ‘Y’ hours

Pump Speed ‘X’ Hours ‘Y’ Hours

900 3500 700

Grease purging of the labyrinth maintains a barrier to contaminants entering the bearing
assembly resulting in longer bearing life. The recommended intervals for labyrinth
grease purging are as follows:

Continuous 16 hr day 8 hr day


Operation

Pump End Labyrinth 4 shots/12 hours 4 shots daily 2 shots daily


Drive End Labyrinth 4 shots/120 hours 4 shots weekly 2 shots weekly

The shots are from a standard hand operated grease gun (approximately 1cc). The
grease used for both bearings and labyrinths should be a lithium complex soap
thickener grease with EP additives and oxidant inhibitors. If the bearing
assemblies run at above 85°C, then a high temperatu re grease should be used.

WARNING ! before any maintenance or service is
performed.

Personal Protective Equipment must be


CAUTION ! worn when operating or servicing this unit.

Heavy Components – appropriate lifting


WARNING ! techniques to be used.

Oil level must be checked before


INFORMATION ! operating the vacuum pump. Running
the vacuum pump without oil will cause
damage.

3.1.4.1 Vacuum Pump Piston & Re-Ringing Instructions

It is advisable that the ridge be removed from the top of worn cylinders prior to
removing the piston. Failure to do so may result in cracked or broken piston
ring lands.

The ring sets are designed to bed in on both new bores and worn bores.
Honing is not essential but it is recommended to give the optimum result.
However, it is essential if one of the following conditions are present:-
Excessive wear;
Bore distortion;
Polishing or Glazing
Scuffing;
Scratching.

When boring to oversize, allow sufficient honing allowance to completely


remove boring marks (0.06 is usually needed).

Aim for a high cross hatch angle (30° - 60° included) and an even cut in both
directions.

Machine hone if possible as hand honing is harder to achieve the desired


result.

Weir Minerals Multiflo Model 420 Pump Unit – Maintenance Manual 21


(Unit fitted with Model 57 Vacuum Pump) Rev 04.08
(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

Poor cleaning after honing accounts for most of today’s wear out / oil
consumption problems. Petrol and kerosene are not suitable. Soap and hot
water with a nylon scrubbing brush are best. Check with a clean white cloth
which should not come out grey. Finally, swab with a light engine oil to
prevent corrosion.

Always replace scuffed, cracked, worn or otherwise damaged pistons.

Always check the gap clearance of new rings in the lower unworn portion.
The gap should not be less that 0.003mm per mm of cylinder diameter.

Maximum gap condition is not especially


INFORMATION ! critical but should not exceed 0.01mm
per mm for compression rings while gap
on oil ring rails may be up to 1.75mm
regardless of bore size.

Ensure piston rings and pin are thoroughly clean and then lubricate rings,
skirt, pin bores and bearings with engine oil. Use a good quality ring
compressor held firm against the engine block at the time of entry of the rings
into the cylinder.

groove on the thrust side of the piston, then place a straight edge against
the skirt of the piston. The minimum clearance between rings and edge
should be 0.3mm for compression rings and 0.15mm fir oil rings.

FIGURE 45
CORRECT RING
BACK CLEARANCE

Correct running in of rings is essential, especially on un-honed bores. Firstly,


avoid prolonged idling and vary the engine speed and load. The load provides
the build-up of pressure behind the compression rings and helps them to bed
in.

Personal Protective Equipment must be


CAUTION ! worn when operating or servicing this unit.

Put the belts around the pulleys, set them to the appropriate tension value
stated in the "Tensioning Forces" Table (using the Belt Tension Indicator as
shown), run the drive under load for 30 minutes, stop the drive, check the
tension, re-setting to catalogue value if necessary. On a properly designed
drive for the application there will be no need for any further attention during
the life of the drive.

1. Calculate the deflection distance in mm on a basis of 16mm (5/8”) per


metre (yard) of span. Centre Distance (m) x 16 = Deflection (mm).

2. Set the lower marker ring at the deflection distance required in mm on the
lower scale.

3. Set the upper marker ring against the bottom edge of the top tube.

4. Place the belt tension indicator on top of the belt at the centre of span, and
apply a force at right angles to the belt deflecting it to the point where the
lower marker ring is level with the top of the adjacent belt.**
For single belt drives a straight edge
INFORMATION ! should be placed across the two pulleys
to act as a datum for measuring the
amount of deflection. If the measured
force falls within the values given, the
drive should be satisfactory. A measured
force below the lower value indicates
under-tensioning. A new drive should be
tensioned to the higher value to allow for
the normal drop in tension during the
running-in period. After the drive has
been running for 30 minutes, the tension
should be checked and re-adjusted to the
higher value, if necessary.

5. Read off the force value indicated by the top edge of the upper marker ring.

6. Compare this force to the kgf value shown in the attached table.

7. If a Fenner Belt Tension Indicator is not available, a spring balance and


rule will suffice.

Personal Protective Equipment must be


CAUTION ! worn when operating or servicing this unit.

When the pulleys have been correctly positioned on the shafts, the belts can
be installed to complete the drive. The drive centre distance should be
reduced prior to the installation of the belts so that they may be fitted without
the use of force. Under no circumstances must belts be forced into the
grooves. Belts and pulley grooves can be easily damaged by using sharp
tools to stretch the belts over the pulley rim.

The installation allowance given in the table on the following page is the
minimum recommended reduction in centre distance for the various belt
section and lengths to allow for correct fitting. The take-up allowance given in
the same table should be added on to the calculated centre distance to allow
for belt stretch.

3.1.5.5 Tyre Couplings

Installation Instructions

Pump unit to be locked out and tagged out


WARNING ! before any maintenance or service is
performed.

Personal Protective Equipment must be


CAUTION ! worn when operating or servicing this unit.

Satisfactory performance depends on


INFORMATION ! correct installation and maintenance.
Under no circumstances should any
machine be started unless the coupling
and associated machine is completely
assembled. All instructions following
must be adhered to carefully.

1. Thoroughly clean all components, paying particular attention to the


removal of the protective coating in the bore of flanges.

2. Fit flanges to the shafts after placing the external clamp rings on the
shafts. (Where Taper Lock Flanges are used, see separate fitting
instructions supplied with the Taper Lock Bushes.) Locate flanges to that
dimension ‘M’ is obtained (see para 3). Flanges with internal clamping
rings should then have the clamping rings fitted, engaging only two or
three of the threads of the screws at this time.

3. Bring shafts into line until dimension ‘M’ is obtained (Refer Figure 55 &
Table 1, Page 37). If shaft end float is to occur, locate the shafts at mid-
position of end float when checking dimension ‘M’. Note that shaft ends
may project beyond the faces of the flanges if required. In this event,
allow sufficient space between shaft ends for end float and mis-
alignment. Flanges should be fitted flush with the end of the shaft when
used with Mill-Motor flanges.

4. Check parallel alignment by laying a straight edge across the flanges at


several positions around the circumference. Check angular alignment by
measuring gap between flanges at several positions around the
circumference. It is desirable to align the coupling as accurately as
possible, particularly on high speed applications.

5. Open out tyre and fit over coupling flanges ensuring that the tyre beads
seat properly on the flanges and/or clamping rings. To ensure proper
seating, it may be necessary to strike the outside diameter of the tyre with
a small mallet. When seated, there should be a gap between the ends of
the tyre as shown in Figure 56 & Table 2, Page 38.

6. Tighten clamping ring screws alternately and evenly (half turn at a time)
working round each flange until the required screw torque is achieved
(Table 1).

General Maintenance
Personal Protective Equipment must be
CAUTION ! worn when operating or servicing this unit.

Failure to follow this procedure may result


ATTENTION ! in transmission damage and/or failure.

Under no circumstances should the oil level


ATTENTION ! be above the “FULL” mark on the oil level
gauge with the engine running and the
transmission in neutral. Drain the oil if
necessary to achieve a level between the
“LOW” mark and the “FULL” mark with the
engine at idle and the transmission neutral
and at OPERATING TEMPERATURE.

NOTE: Engine warm-up in neutral is NOT a


sufficient warm-up period for the
transmission.

Oil Level Setting Procedure

1. Fill the empty transmission with the proper viscosity oil (Mobil Trans
HD50) to the “LOW” mark on the oil level gauge. If the cooler and
hoses are empty, fill the transmission to the “FULL” oil mark on the oil
gauge.

2. Start the engine and let it run for about 30 seconds with the engine
running at idle and the cold transmission in neutral. Add oil until it
reaches the “LOW” mark on the oil level gauge with the engine running
and the transmission in neutral.

3. Run under load so the transmission reaches its operating temperature


(transmission oil temperature between 65°C and 85°C (150°F and
180°F). The oil level in the HOT transmission should be between the
“LOW” mark and the “FULL” mark with the engine at idle, the
transmission in neutral and at operating temperature.

Lubrication

If your unit is equipped with a lubrication fitting, grease the oil seals at the
output end of the transmission output shaft with water pump grease through
the lube fitting. Apply grease every 100 hours. No other lubrication is
required.

Filter and Oil Change Interval

With a new transmission, change the oil and filter element within the first 50
hours of operation. Change oil and filter element after each 1000 hours
thereafter or more often if conditions warrant.
For a rebuilt transmission, check the suction screen and filter element after
eight hours of operation. Look for lint or other material that may collect from
rags or towels used in the parts cleaning process. Look for chips or shavings
particularly if the transmission has had a problem that caused debris in the
system. (For units with spin-on filters, this will require cutting the filter element
apart to access the element core.) If the filter is clean, install a new filter
element and then change the oil and filter element after 1000 hours of service.
If the filter is dirty, change the element and operate for another eight hours.
Check the filter again. Continue this cycle until the filter is clean and then
change the oil and filter after 1000 hours of service or more often if conditions
warrant.

Situations involving debris in the


INFORMATION ! hydraulic system will require that heat
exchangers and all connecting lines and
hoses be thoroughly cleaned. If the heat
exchanger cannot be disassembled, or if
it cannot be assured that all debris is
removed, the heat exchanger should be
replaced.

Draining

Drain the transmission by removing the oil drain plug from the rear/bottom of
the transmission.

Filling

1. Remove the breather or the oil fill closure from the top of transmission
case.

2. Pour new oil through breather or closure opening. Fill with


recommended clean oil, taking necessary precautions to prevent entry
of dirt and debris.

Oil Capacity

See lubrication plate on transmission. Capacity given will be internal quantity


required to fill transmission to proper level, but may NOT include quantity to fill
external hoses and heat exchanger.

Heat Exchanger

Check for leaks. Heat Exchanger works in conjunction with engine cooling
system, and does not use pit water for cooling.

Suction Strainer

Remove and clean the suction strainer at every oil change or sooner if
necessary.

Flexible Input Coupling

Do not obstruct the flywheel housing vents preventing the free flow of air for
cooling the coupling. Life of the coupling may be reduced if the ambient
temperature of the air around the coupling is outside the operating range.
Operating air temperatures above -6°C (22°F) and below 82°C (180°F)
should be maintained.

If possible, visually inspect the coupling after the first 100 hours of operation
and every 2000 hours thereafter, or every six months, whichever occurs first.
Torsional vibration, misalignment, degradation by contaminants (oil), heat,
ultraviolet radiation, and excessive system torque can cause cracks or other
signs of distress to appear on the surface of the rubber. The above-described
items affect the life of the coupling element.

If coupling access is restricted, inspection may be possible only at engine


overhaul or whenever the transmission is separated from the engine.
Frequently check the flywheel housing vents. Coupling deterioration, from a
variety of causes may be indicated by an accumulation of residue at the vents.
Should this be evident, inspect to determine the cause.

Overhaul Interval

Overhaul the transmission at the same time the engine is overhauled.

3.1.5.7 1000FH Series Fuel Filter / Water Separator


Service Instructions

Draining Water
Frequency of water draining is determined by the contamination level of the
fuel. Inspect or drain the collection bowl of water daily or as necessary. The
collection bowl must be drained before contaminants reach the top of the
turbine or when the Water Detection Module (optional) indicates it’s time to
‘drain water’.

Vacuum Application/Installations:
1. Close the inlet valve (or valve#1) and open the self-venting drain on
the bottom of the bowl.

2. Close the drain after all the water and contaminants have been
evacuated – DO NOT leave the drain open too long as it will eventually
completely drain the entire entire filter assembly of water AND fuel.

3. Follow ‘Priming Instructions’.


Pressure Applications/Installations:
1. Open the self-venting drain on the bottom of the bowl to evacuate water
and contaminants with a suitable collection container in place. Head
pressure will push any water and contaminants out of the drain while
keeping the filter primed.

2. Close the drain after all the water and contaminants have been
evacuated – DO NOT leave the drain open too long as it will eventually
completely drain the entire filter assembly of water AND fuel, and
possibly drain the entire tank.

Element Replacement:
Frequency of element replacement is determined by the contamination level of
fuel. Replace the elements every 10,000 miles, every 500 hours, every other
oil change, when the vacuum gauge (optional) reads between 6 to 10 inches
of mercury (inHg), if power loss is noticed, or annually, whichever comes first.

Always carry extra replacement elements


INFORMATION ! as one tank full of excessively dirty fuel
can plug a filter.

All Applications:
1. Bypass filter assembly with bypass valves, if applicable.
2. Remove the ‘T’ handle and lid.
3. Remove the element by holding the bail handles and slowly pulling
upward with a twisting motion. Dispose of properly.

4. Replace old lid gasket and ‘T’ handle O’ring with new seals (supplied
with new element). Lubricate both seals with motor oil or diesel fuel
before installation.

5. Refer to ‘Priming Instructions”, otherwise, fill the unit with clean fuel,
then replace the lid and ‘T’ handle and tighten snugly – by hand only –
do not use tools.

3.2.1.5 1000FH Turbine Series Fuel Filter / Water Separator


Troubleshooting (If Fitted)

Correct external fuel leaks immediately !


ATTENTION ! These conditions will result in reduced
engine performance such as: hard starting,
stalling, reduced power and other
associated problems.

New filter installations must be filled with fuel and the fuel system must be
adequately primed following the engine manufacturer’s recommendations, if
applicable. Existing installation difficulties are usually associated with
improper priming procedures or damage to the unit or fuel system. The result
is either internal air suction or external fuel leakage. Diagnosis should be in
the following steps:

1. Check the fuel level and make sure any fuel delivery valves are in the
open position as applicable.

2. Ensure the T-handle, bowl fasteners and fuel fittings are tight. Also
verify that the bowl drain is closed.

3. If the Racor element is new, check potential restrictions at the fuel tank
draw tube. An in-tank strainer may be plugged.

4. Review some of the workings of the units below to possibly uncover the
solutions.

Correct Application
It is very important that the RH filter assembly is not ‘under specified’ for the
application. The maximum fuel flow rating of the FH filter assembly must not
be exceeded. Doing so will reduce efficiency and de-gas (pull are from) the
fuel.

Filter Elements
Replacement elements are available in 2, 10 and 30 micron ratings. Filtration
needs are based on application, fuel quality, maintenance schedules and
operating climates. A simple rule to remember is – the finer the filtration, the
more frequent the filter change. Always carry extra replacement elements with
your equipment as one tank full of excessively contaminated fuel can plug an
element. When clogged to the maximum capacity, elements will have a brown
to black colour or tar like contaminants may be present – this is normal. An
appearance of a multi-coloured slime (which may have a foul odour) is an
indication of microbiological contamination. This condition must be treated
immediately. Severe conditions must be corrected by a repair facility.

Never operate the filter assembly without


ATTENTION ! the element in place. The element safety
valve will not expose the outlet hole on the
return fuel tube if the element is removed.
Instead, punch the emergency tab on the top
of the element and leave in place.
Puncturing the emergency tab will bypass
all filtration and send unfiltered fuel to the
engine. Service the element as soon as
possible to avoid harmful contaminants
flowing down stream to the engine.
Correct external fuel leaks immediately. In
the event difficulties are experienced with
the filter assembly or a problem appears to
prevent the engine from running smoothly,
follow the quick-help instructions below or
refer to the procedures on the previous
page.

All Racor FH filter assemblies are 100% tested to ensure a leak-proof, quality
product.
