(8) Confirm that the water level in the suction pit is above the lowest level. The lowest level
for which the pump can be normally operated is shown in the outline drawing. If the level
is too low or the shape of the suction pit is not proper, an air entrained vortex may be
produced, resulting in pump vibration. The water level must be verified with a water level
gauge.
(9) Adjust the gland packing so that a small amount of water continuously leaks. If the gland
packing is tightened excessively or unevenly, gland packing and packing sleeve will wear
down and should be replaced if necessary.
(10) If necessary, supply the cooling water to the motor or pump bearings and check the
flowrate.
(11) If the instrument is attached to the pump, check the normal operation, breakage, loose
supply and check the Initial setting value.

Check and make sure that starts up requirements are completely satisfied.
(1) Ensure that adequate lubricating and cooling water is supplied.(If applicable)
(2) Check and ensure correct oil level for thrust bearing. (If applicable)
(3) Check and be sure that the pump discharge valve is fully closed.(For this type of pump,
it is better to start the pump with discharge valve closed condition or crack open(5~15%)
condition for stable start.)
(4) Now start the pump. Check whether the discharge valve is fully open after starting the
pump normally.
(5) At the first time of operation, after pump installation or reassembly, run the pump for a
short period of time. During this time, check that the equipment runs satisfactorily without
detrimental surges, vibration, noise, etc.
35 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CURVE. Hyosung is not responsible for problems caused by operation out of range.
Operation at the shut off condition should not be more than 2 minutes. Check that lubricating
and cooling water supply are normal. (If applicable)
Pay attention to abnormal noise and abnormal vibration. If air or foreign matter enters the
pump, or if there is a change in the operation duty point of the pump, defect of valve in the
discharge lines, abnormal noise and vibration can occur, and pump discharge pressure can
vary greatly or the current meter of the motor will vary suddenly during operation. In such
cases, immediately check these problems to determine cause. Refer to paragraph 6.10
“TROUBLE SHOOTING” (If applicable) Check the pump thrust bearing temperature. After
starting the pump, regularly check the temperature rise of the pump thrust bearings. Even
after the temperature reaches a steady value, check it. If the temperature rises abnormally,
shut down the pump immediately and investigate the cause.
If a gland packing is applied, adjust the gland packing so that a small amount of water
continuously leaks. If the amount of leakage cannot be adjusted by adjusting the gland
packing, a new gland packing should be replaced. Gland Packing is a consumable item.
Depending on foreign matter and adjustment conditions, the gland packing life time reduced
possible. In addition, excessive tightening of gland packing can cause damage to the gland
packing and packing sleeves.
(1) Stop the pump and close the discharge valve fully.
(2) Close the valve of external flushing/cooling water supply line. (If installed)

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
6.0 MAINTENANCE
To maintain good pump operation, carry out the following maintenance and checks.
6.1 General
(1) In general, any type of equipment must be maintained in good condition for repair if it is
to give satisfactory and efficient service. HGS pumps are designed to operate for
extended periods with a minimum of regular maintenance, the frequency and scope of
maintenance are different depending on pump installation and operating conditions. Ex)
Grouting strength of base plate, base plate level, slurry in fluid, pump operating range,
miss-alignment and etc.
(2) Under normal circumstances, regular performance of the preventive maintenance tasks
outlined in Paragraph 6.2 will prevent costly breakdowns and detect most problems that
may arise.
(3) Manufacture's recommendation for pump maintenance is about 8,000 hours (annually or
once every two years), but it can be shortened or extended considering pump's operating
condition (efficiency, vibration, bearing temperature and etc.). Maintenance is required
prior to the recommendation period if pump problems such as excessive wear, damage
to internal parts, increased vibration, bearing high temperature.
(4) In the event a pump malfunction is suspected, refer to the Troubleshooting Chart of
Paragraph 7.0.
(5) If major maintenance is required, refer to the procedures of Paragraphs 6.4 thru 6.6. for
driver maintenance requirements refer to the driver manufacturer's instructions.
38 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Periodic testing or monitoring of critical pump performance factors, such as head, flow, driver
current, speed, temperatures, vibration levels, etc., is recommended to establish a reliable
data baseline for use in evaluating and projecting the pump's condition and in establishing
the maintenance requirements for its particular application. The scope and frequency of
periodic testing is primarily a matter of customer decision based on the severity of pump
operating conditions. In most cases the faithful measurement, recording, review and
extrapolation of periodic test results every few months will provide a sufficiently adequate
and reliable indication of pump condition that major maintenance, when needed, can be
scheduled and performed in a timely manner.
(1) Check tightness of the pump and driver mounting fasteners, which may loosen, and
tighten them as necessary.
(2) Inspect all piping for evidence of leakage, loosening or other damage and repair as
necessary.
(3) When pump size permits, periodically rotate shaft by hand to check for free rotation. If
binding occurs, recheck pump alignment and impeller setting.
(4) Refer to manufacturer's instructions for driver lubrication, periodic inspection and any
other schedule maintenance tasks to be performed.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
6.4 Inspection
The packing needs to be replaced when leak water increases and adjustment is no longer
possible by tightening the gland. Gland packing is a consumable item and stop the pump
and proceed with the following steps carefully. If the packing is improperly installed, leakage
will not be stopped and the sleeve may wear-down unevenly.
a) Removal
Used packing should be removed and discarded. Use the tool like a FIG.6.1 or screw
driver and remove, taking care to avoid damage to the stuffing box and sleeve.
FIG.6.1
b) Replacement
Stuffing box and packing sleeve must be clean and check wear-down. Push the gland
packing, one by one, into the stuffing box. Cut ends of the packing must always be
staggered by 90°~180°. Wrap gland packing on shaft sleeve and cut length 1 or 2 %
longer than normal. Cut ends should be at around 45 degrees. Avoid excessive
tightening of gland packing.
42 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Correct Incorrect
FIG.6.2
If the sleeve wears unevenly on one side by more than 0.3 mm, the effectiveness of the
packing seal will be reduced, so replace the sleeve. When the sleeve is worn evenly,
refer to 6.4.2 (2).
Perform disassembly inspection annually or once every two years depending on the
operating conditions. At such times, it is desirable that the interior of the suction pit also be
cleaned. During the disassembly inspection, always take photographs showing a scale, and
make records of the condition of the parts. Each part is to be inspected.
The maximum allowable gap between the journal bearing and the sleeve is shown in
Table 5.1. If the maximum allowable gap in Table 5.1 is exceeded, replace the part(s) as
necessary. Take measurement at two points 90° apart at the center and both ends of the
bearing and sleeve.
43 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The even wear is acceptable if it is less than 2.2 mm in diameter. But the outer surface
of the sleeve must be machined so that it is smooth.
(3) Shaft
Support the shaft on solid V-blocks and use a dial indicator as illustrated in Fig. 6.3.1.
Use care so that there are no foreign matters on the V-blocks or on the shaft surface.
Place the shaft with its keyway on upside. The keyway is supposed to be at 0 degree of
phase angle. Apply the indicator plunger to shaft surface clear of keyway. Turn the
indicator dial so that the pointer comes to zero position. Slowly turn the shaft by hand,
and take readings at each 90 degree position.
If the shaft surface is perfectly concentric, the pointer would not move. Peak to peak
stroke of the pointer shows double the shaft deflection. To obtain shaft deflection, divide
the total stroke by two.
For example, on a shaft having readings in Fig. 6.3.2, total stroke of the pointer in the
horizontal direction is 7.5 - ( -7.5 ) = 15. This means the shaft is bent by 7.5 toward right.
In vertical direction, total pointer stroke is 0 - 15 = -15. This means the shaft is bent 7.5
downward. In general, modification is required when maximum run out of the shaft
exceeds 75/1000 mm.

(4) KEY
Examine all keys for wear and damage. Ensure that they are flat, parallel and free from
burrs, and properly fit the keyway. Replace if necessary.
Gaskets and O-ring must be replaced if they are deformed or lack elasticity.
The pump should be maintained so that it may be operated at any time. If Pumps handling
sea water or brackish water must be idled for long periods then operate the pump once every
week or twice to protect the casing from corrosion caused by stagnant sea water.
(1) Remove the gland packing and install packing impregnated with grease.
(4) Replace the oil in the bearing housing once a year even if the unit is not operated. (If
applicable)
(5) Insulation of the motor will deteriorate when there is high humidity. Take care to keep
the motor dry.
45 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
When oil level decreases, remove the air vent cap on the bearing housing and supply oil to
the required level. Oil should be replaced after 2,000 hours of operation, but at least once
every 6 months regardless of total operating hours.
Stop pump operation. Remove the oil drain plug and the air vent cap on the bearing cover,
and completely drain oil. Re-install drain plug. Supply new oil to the required level by
checking with level gauge. Re-install air vent cap. Start the pump.
6.5 Disassembly
Disassembly procedure shall be performed in the following order. Refer to the PUMP CROSS
SECTIONAL DRAWING and ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY DRAWING.
⚫ WHEN LIFTING THE PUMP, USE APPROPRIATE CRANE (OR HOIST) AND WIRE
ROPES. CHECK POSITION AND TIGHTNESS OF WIRE ROPES SO THAT WEIGHT

2. DESCRIPTION
The bearing supplied is one of the Turbolink vertical combined bearings , as manufactured
by Turbolink Bearings. Turbolink vertical combined bearings are a standard range of
vertical bearings, which are robust, lightweight (dependant on size) and self lubricating.
vertical combined bearings can be fitted with a variety of resistance temperature devices to
measure the temperature of the lubricating oil or pads. Turbolink vertical combined
bearings are usually self contained with water coolers which can be modified for different
methods (i.e. air cooled and circulated oil variations) with minimum modifications to the
basic casing.
The bearing can also be insulated as an option to protect against stray currents while the
machine is in operation.

12
4-3. Points before use
The bearing is now complete, it must not be used until the items below have been
dealt with;
1. The entire machine has received a Declaration of Conformity, or has been declared
exempt from the Supply of Machinery (Safety Regulations) Act 1992 and the
Machinery Directive.
2. Lubricating oil has passed through the bearing and is at the proper level .
Note!!
The lubricating oil must be a mineral based turbine oil inhibited against
oxidation, corrosion and foaming, with an lSO viscosity grade as indicated on the
arrangement drawing.
The use of any other oil should be referred to Turbolink.
13
5. OPERATlNG
5-1. lntroduction
This section points out the risks that can occur when operating the machine.
If the bearing has been correctly assembled, using the procedure already given, there is
only a marginal risk of the bearing failing which would be due to the design conditions
being exceeded.
Examples of these conditions are;
overspeed, low lubrication levels and excess load. In order to avoid these situations, it is
suggested that;
The users’ attention is drawn to the fact that both the pipework and
bearing surface may be hot during operation.
In order to avoid leakage of lubricant, plugs, RTDs and seals must never be removed while
the bearing is operating.
14
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
6-1. lntroduction.
This section demonstrates the care and maintenance needed for the smooth operation of
the machine.
6-2. Procedures
Once the steady state operating temperature has been determined, the alarm point should
be set at 5℃ above this.
Shut down is to occur at 10℃ above the steady state operating temperature.
15
6-3. Lubricant Change Intervals
Oil changes will be at differing periods depending on the frequency of bearing operation
and the conditions in which the bearing is operating.
To decide whether the lubricant is to be changed, check it visually for apparent changes.
Generally, it is recommended to change the lubricant after about 365 days(about 8700 hr).
The best way to determine the optimum change intervals is to have the lubricant examined
periodically. It should, however, be ensured that the lubricant volume to be changed
justifies the cost incurred for such examination.
Contact the lubricant supplier to determine the applicable change intervals. If the lubricant
is examined at fixed time intervals, make sure to cut back the intervals as soon as quick
changes are observed for certain properties.
Having the lubricant changed at optimum time intervals will minimize unintended
interruptions and alleviate the routine purification of the lubricant circulation.
Otherwise, the installation will have to be cleaned and scavenged, which is a costly and
time consuming job to do, if the lubricant is used beyond the optimum interval.
You notice such change as the darkening or the thickening of the lubricant.
1. Switch off machinery. Lock off controls. Secure and isolate shaft.
Ensure control gear, bearing gear and any other equipment capable of
moving the shaft is locked out and labeled “Not to be used”.
Beware hot oil. Allow machinery to cool off before proceeding further.
2. Drain and disconnect cooling water supply (in case of water cooling).
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil from bearing.
Before removing bolts, fit eye bolts and lifting gear to the cover. Ensure
that the eye bolts are tight and secure.
When removing the cover and fan blade assembly, take care not to
damage any equipment.
17
6. Remove casing, anti vortex guide, and upper thrust.
7. Fit lifting bolts and remove the journal pads from the inner support.
The anti vortex guide and journal pads will be oily and may stick.
They will also be very slippery when handling. Take care to avoid
dropping the pads and ring.
8. Jack up the shaft until there is a clearance between the collar and the lower thrust pads.
9. Lifting the inner support using lifting gear and remove thrust pads by sliding out.
The thrust pads will be oily and may stick to the casing. The pads will
also be slippery when handling. Take care to avoid dropping and
damaging pads.
18
6-5. Maintenance
Carry out the following maintenance procedures every 1000 operation hours (about 45 day):
With the bearing dismantled, (refer to assembly drawing with parts list) examine the thrust
pads, journal pads, anti vortex guide. There may be some scoring and wear on the pads
and ring, but provided wear is no greater than 0.125mm the pads and ring are still
serviceable. If there is any sign of the white metal surface coming away from the pad or
ring, they must be replaced. Examine the jointing between the casing and cover and that
between the base plate and the sleeve. If the jointing has decayed so that it is either
disintegrating or leaking, it should be replaced.
Examine the O-Ring, if it has started to leak or decay, it should be replaced.
Inspect the collar surface for any signs of damage. If it is necessary to change the pads, the
collar should also be replaced or repaired, otherwise the replacement pads will only have a
short life.
19
Clean the cooler assembly, using the below routine; when fitted.
2. Clean the bore of the tubes using a high pressure water jet or steam cleaning.
When using cleaning rods, take care not to damage the cooler tubes.
Period to re-assembly, all the old sealant should be removed and fresh sealant applied in
the positions identified in the section on Installation (4.2).
20
6-6. Insulation check of the assembled bearing (If insulated type)
Insulated vertical bearings should undergo an insulation check before being put into operation.
if the bearings are assembled it is possible to carry out such a check only if there is no
conductive connection between shaft and foundation.
③ Following minimum resistance values at the testing voltage indicated should be given:
⑤ After elimination of other conductive areas, check the insulation again as described above,
until you can reach the indicated minimum values.

Appendix 3. Bearing Preservation During Storage
Caution:
Wear protection clothes when using preservatives. Please observe the instructions for the use
of the preservatives and the accident prevention rules.
Before installation :
Make sure bearings are stored in the intended mounting position, in a dry room only.
④ Paint or spray all bare metal parts inside and outside with anti-corrosive such as TECTYL 511 or
equivalent anti-corrosive.
⑤ Put a bag of desiccant (silica gel) inside to absorb humidity and prevent the formation of
condensation in the bearing.
