Check angular alignment with di indicator attached tothe bracket, with the indiestor probe resting on the face of the coupling half. Rotate both halves together making sure that the indicator probe always rests fon the same point. Take readings at every quarter turn with the two shafts pushed as far apart as the hearings of both machines will al low. Move and shim the driver until the coupling is accurately aligned. Check parallel alignment_with the probe resting on the O.D. of the oupling as shown in Fig. 7. Take readings as for angular alignment 5. Recheck slignment by reversing bracket and repesting angular and parallel cheek readings. 6, Bolt the driver securely to the base and recheck alignment as in step 4. NOTE: HN, HNT, and HND pumps fare supported om brackets atthe pump centerline, Consequently it is hhot necessary to make allowance for elevation of the shaft due to expan sion of the pump when itis heated to operating temperatures. 7.

Pumps can be sprang and pulled out of position by drawing up on the bolts in the piping flanges. Flanges must be brought squarely together before the bolis are tightened. ‘The following procedures are pre: sented to outline the most important Steps involved in pump operation. ‘Any modification of these procedures due to particular installation peculi Suction and discharge pipes and as sociated equipment should be sup ported and anchored near but inde: pendent of the pump so that no strain Will he transinitted to the pump eas pe strains are « common cause ligament, hot bearings, worn and vibration “The suction piping should be checked hefore initial startup to insure that there are no leake and should be thoroughly flushed before connecting itte the pomp. In a new installation, care should be taken to prevent dit, pipe scale, and welding beads from! entering the pamp. The suction and discharge piping should he firmly anchored as close as possible to the pump suetion and dis charge nozzles. Pipe supporte at in termediate points on either the sue tion or discharge piping should allow for movement due to expansion, It is recommended that after the pip ing has been bolted to the supports the pump and piping be brought up tp temperature, Th pie anchor bal should then be lootened to. permit movement and then retishtened. Strainers — It is recommended that 1 temporary strainer be placed in the uation pipe to prevent lodging of forcign material in the impeller.

Oi used for lubricating ball or roller earings should be a high quality, well refined mineral oil which will not readily oxidize or gum. Vegetable or animal oils should nat be used. ‘The oil should be certified to be free from deleterious substences which would harm the bearings at any op temperature Generally an SAE-10 or 20 cil should be used depending om the in stallation and severity of service. For abnormal conditions refer to a reputable lubricant supplier for prop- ‘er recommendations. The valves on the liquid supply line to the stuffing box should now be ‘opened. This step is imperative whether the pump has a packed box with a seal eage, or @ mechanical seal requiring flushing. ‘The amount of fiuid ciroulated to the stuffing box rust be controlled at all times during. ‘operation, Operating experience will indicate the proper procedure to be followed. On packed box pumps, the stuffing box gland should he adjusted to per rit a slight seepage of liquid out of the stufing hox at all times during ‘operation to. prevent excessive wear fof the shaft sleeve due to lack of lubr. Open the suction valve and any vents fof gauge connections in the system ‘which will allow the air in the easing to escape, Turn the rotor over by hand; if it is bound, do not operate the pump until the cause of the trou ble is found. Start the driver according to driver ‘manufacturer's instructions. Open the discharge valve slowly a8 soon as the pump attains full speed. If the discharge pressure gauge docs not immediately register when the rotor is revolving at or near rated speed, immediately shut down and make a careful check of the suction line for obstructions in the line which could interfere with the liquid flow to the pump. SECTION V LUBRICATION New Installation or Oil Change 1. Drain the bearing bracket and flush it with a light oil Install the ‘constant level oiler. 2. Make sure the eiler is level. 3, Fill the bottle through the stem, replace and alloy oil to flow into res ervoir, It may be necessary to fill the bottle several times before the oil ceases to run into the reservoir, indi- 1 that the oil is up to the proper level. 4. Refill the bole to| maintain this level. During the routine operation of the pump, the bearings should be. ecu: Sionally checked. for proper lubrics tion and oil level, Check stuffing box operation. STOPPING PUMPS Normally, there should be # check valve and a_gate valve in the dis: Charge line. ‘The cheek valve should he located between the pump and the teste valve. In such cases the pump an be shut down by stopping the Griver according to the deiver m facturer's instructions.

(In some sexv= ices, the sealing liquid is left on eon- tinually to. protect packing, against the formation of solids oF crystals ete.) In some installations the use of a check valve is not feasible due to the creation of pressure surges or water hammer asa result of the sudden closing of the valve under high dis- charge pressure, In such cases the discharge valve should be closed Slowly prior to stopping the driver to eliminate the possibility of water haramer A pamp will partly drain through the glands if let standing for long peri- fads of time.
