OBTAIN A MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) FOR THE LIQUID TO BE SURE THESE PRECAUTIONS ARE UNDERSTOOD. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ABOVE _ LISTED PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH ROTATION: Viking pumps operate equally well in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. Shaft rotation determines which port is suction and which is cischarge, Port in area where pumping elements (gear teeth) come out of mesh is suction port. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES: 1. Viking pumps are positive placement pumps and must be provided with some sort of pressure protection. This may be a relief valve mounted directly on the pump, an inline pressure relief valve, a torque limiting device or a rupture disk, 2. There are relief valve options available on these pumps. Relief Valve options include an internal relief valve and return to tank relief valve. 3. I pump rotation is to be reversed during operation, pressure protection must be provided on both sides of pump. 4. Relief valve adjusting screw cap must always point towards suction side of pump. If pump rotation is reversed, remove pressure relief valve and tun end for end 5, Pressure relief valves cannot be used to contro! pump flow or regulate discharge pressure For adsltional information on pressure relief valves, vefer to Technical Service Manual TSMO0O and Engineeting Service Bulletin ESB-31 RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTING (SCREW CAP ‘SUCTION DISCHARGE FIGURE 5 ‘SPECIAL MECHANICAL SEALS Extra care should be taken in repair of these pumps.

Location - always locate the pump as close as possible to the supply of liquid to be pumped. Locate it below the liquid supply if at all practical. Viking pumps are self priming but the better the suction conditions the better the performance. 2. Accessibilty - the pump should be located where it is accessible for inspection, maintenance, and repair. For large pumps, allow room to remove the rotor and shaft without removing the pump from the base. 3. Port Arrangement - since the pumps have different port arrangements depending on the model, port location should be checked before starting the instalation. The ports may be upright, opposite or at right angles to each ther, see Figure 1. The right angle ports are normally right-hand, see Figure 2; some models are available with lefthand arrangements, sil other modo's are available with the right angle ports located in any one of eight positions including right-hand and left-hand, “4 RIGHT HAND. PUMP LEFT HAND PUMP Se FIGURE 2 4. Suction/Discharge - shaft rotation will determine which ports suction and which is discharge. Alook at Figure 3 vill show how rotation determines which ports which; as the pumping elements (gears) come out of mesh, point "A" on Figure 3, liquid is drawn into the suction port as the gears come into mesh, point "B”, the liquid is forced MBEX SECTION | TSM 000 pace | 10F8 IssuE E ‘out the discharge port. Reversing the rotation reverses the flow through the pump. When determining shaft rotation, always look from the shaft end of the pump. Uniess otherwise specified, rotation is assumed to be clockwise (CW), which makes the suction port on the right side of the pump. The idler pin, which is offset in the pump head, should be properly positioned toward and ‘an equal distance between the port connections, DISCHARGE | g A aS SUCTION IDLER PIN FIGURE 3 5. Pressure Protection - Viking pumps are positive displacement. This means that when the pump is rotated, liquid will be delivered to the discharge side of the pump, If there is no place for this liquid to go - discharge line is blocked or closed - pressure can build up until the motor stalls, the drive equipment fails, a pump part breaks or ruptures, oF the piping bursts. Because of this, some form of pressure protection must be used with a positive displacement pump. This may be relief valve mounted directly on the pump. an inline relief valve, a torque limiting device or a rupture disk VALVE BODY (C) SPRING (A) cap POPPET (8) (SHOULD aLways are 1 Poms rowaRo.

The pump discharge pressure pushes VIKING PUMP, ING. # A Unit of IDEX Corporation # Cedar Fas. 1A 50013 USAagainst the underside of the poppet at point (E). When the force exerted by the liquid under the poppet exceeds that exerted by the spring, the poppet lis and liquid starts to ‘ow through the valve. As the discharge pressure builds up tore and more of the liquid flows through untl a pressure is reached at which all of the liquid being pumped is going through the valve, This is pressures the relief valve setting CAUTION ! Internal type relief valves mounted on Viking pumps should always have the cap or bonnet pointed toward the suction side of the pump. Return-to- tank-type relief valves should always be mounted on the discharge side of the pump. if pump rotation is reversed, change the relief valve. Turn the in- ternal type end for end; move the re- turn-to-tank type to the other port. If, on a particular installation rotation is reversed, e.g., using one pump to fill a tank and then by use of a reversing switch or other means changing the rotation to permit the same pump to circulate the liq- uid through a heater or to load out) then pressure protection must be provided on both sides of the pump for both ro- tations. This may be a combination of relief valves, torque limiting devices or rupture disks. Pumps or systems without relief valves should have some form of pres- sure protection e.g. Torque limiting devices or rupture disks. Viking pumps can be furnished with either an internal pressure relief valve - one which ditects the flow from the: valve back to the suction side of the pump - oF a return-to- tank vaive which directs the flow through piping back to the supply tank. See Figure 5. An inline ral valve mounted in the discharge piping aso directs the flow back to the supply fank. This type of valve should be mounted close to the pump so that the pressure drop through the piping between the pump and the valve is at a minimum. Be sure there are no shutoff valves between the pump and relief valve. Piping from a return-to-tank or an in-line valve to the Supply tank should also be as short and large as possible 4 PUMP HEAD \ sucrion RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTING + SCREW CAP(SHOULD ALHAYS POINT TOWARD SUCTION PORT FIGURE 5A.

Bo sure the inside of the pipe is clean before hooking it up. Foot valve - When pumping a light liquid with a suction lif, 2 foot valve at the end of the suction piping or a ‘check valve in the first horizontal run will hold the liquid in the line and make it easier for the pump to prime. Be sure the foot or check valve is big enough so that it doesn't cause excessive line loss. FIGURE 7 FIGURE 8 GEAR REDUCER DRIVE FIGURE 9 V-BELT DRIVE|4. When approaching an obstacle in the suction or discharge line, go around the obstacle instead of aver i. Going over it creates an air pocket. See Figure 10, = ot te a corns wor mis FIGURE 10 5. Where practical, slope the piping so no air or liquid pockets will be formed. Air pockets in the suction line ‘make it hard for the pump to prime. 6. Fora suction line with a long horizontal run keep the horizontal portion below the liquid level if possible. This keeps the pipe ful so the pump does not have to remove so much air when starting: this is most helpful ‘when there is no foot valve. See Figure 11. 7. When piping a hot or cold system (liquid being handled Js at a temperature different from the air surrounding the pump}, be sure allowance is made for expansion ‘and contraction of the piping. Loops, expansion joints, or unsecured (this does not mean unsupported) runs should be used so the pump casing is not distorted or put into a bind 8. STRAINER - It is always good practice to consider a strainer on the suction side of a positive displacement pump. The strainer will keep foreign objects tram {going into the pump; without a strainer some would go through; others would cause a jammed pump, a broken part, or a torn up drive. The strainer basket mesh or perforation size should be big enough so that it does ot cause excessive pressure drop, but it should be fine enough to protect the pump. When in doubt as to the proper size, check with the manufacturer, giving him pipe size, flow rate, and viscosity involved. Provision should be made for cleaning the strainer. if the pump operates continuously, a bypass should be built around the strainer or two strainers should be put in parallel with proper valving so they can be isolated for cleaning, Use of a strainer is particularly important at start up to help clean the system of weld beads, pipe scale, and other foreign objects. For additional information, refer to TSM64D. 9. If the pump is not equipped with a relief valve, consideration should be given to mounting one in the discharge line. See discussion on relief valves under STARTUP. 410. The pump should not be used to support the piping The weight of the pipe should be carried by hangers, supports, stands, etc. 11, When fastening the piping to the pump it should not be necessary to impose any strain on the pump casing “Springing” or "drawing" the piping up to the pump wil cause distortion, possible misalignment, and probable rapid wear of the pump. Do not use the pump to correct Cerors in piping layout or assembly Scien SHOE ~ mus FIGURE 11 12. Al joints of the piping system should be tight; pipe sealer or teflon tape will help assure leak-free threaded joints. Leaks in the suction line permiting air to be ‘drawn in may cause @ noisy pump, or a reduction in capacity 19. ALIGNMENT - Check the alignment of the drive after the piping is hooked up. As a final check on pump alignment remove the head of the pump and with a feeler gauge determine if there is clearance all the way around between the rotor and casing, Because of manufacturing tolerances, bushing clearances, etc, the rotor may not be centered in the casing, but it should not drag; dragging would indicate unit misalignment or ‘casing distortion from piping strain. Making this check is most desirable on installations involving Q, M and N size standard duty pumps. 14. The auxiliary piping hooked to jackets, glands, etc for heating, cooling, quenching, or for ether purposes should receive the same attention as the piping handling the liquid pumped 15. Provide a pressure relief device in any part of a pump and piping system that can be valved off and, thus, ‘completely isolated. This is particularly important: 4). When handling a cold liquid such as refrigeration ammonia that can warm up to ambient temperatures when the pump is shut of or b). When handling a liquid such as asphalt or molasses that has to be heated before it can be pumped. The rise in temperature causes the liquid to expand; if there is no provision for pressure relief in the closed off section, there is a chance that the pump or piping wail rupture START UP Before pushing the “start” bution, check the following: 1. Are there vacuum and pressure gauges on or near the pump? These gauges are the quickest and most accurate way of finding out what is happening in the ume,10. 1" 2 43, Check alignment - See suggestions under “instalation = Alignmant” in this manual Check piping to be sure there is no strain on the pump ‘casing. Rolate the pump shaft by hand to be sure it tums freely. MAKE SURE THE PUMP DRIVER IS LOCKED OUT OR CANNOT BE ENERGIZED BEFORE DOING THIS. 4Jog motor to be sure itis turning in the right direction; ‘802 discussion on pump rotation under “Installation ~ Generar” iter 4 in this manual Check any relief valves to be sure they are installed correctly. See discussion on relief valves under Installation - General” Check suction piping to be sure (a) iti all connected and tight, (b) valves are open, and (0) end of pipe is, below liquid level Check discharge piping to be sure (a) itis connected and tight, (b} valves are open, and (c) there is a place for the liquid to go. Lubricate any grease iting on the pump using a good, general purpose #2 ball bearing grease. Check any gear reducer, moter, coupling, etc. for instructions. and lubricate as recommended. See Engineeting Service Bulletin ESB-515. For packed pumps, loosen packing gland nuts so gland ccan be moved siightly by hand. Adjust gland to reduce leakage only after pump has run long enough to reach constant tomperature, Packing should weep a litle to keepit cool and lubricated Do not use the Viking pump to flush, pressure test or prove the system with water. Either remove the pump or run piping around it while flushing or testing. Pumping water, dity or otherwise, can do more damage in a few ‘minutes than months of normal service Check to be sure all guards are in place Now you are ready to push the “star” button - gently. It the pump begins to deliver liquid within 60 seconds, you're business. IP it does not, push the “slop” button. Do not run the pump longer than one minute without liquid init; you may damage it. Review the steps just oulined, consider ‘what the suction and discharge gauges indicate, see page 6: if everything appears to be in order, put some liquid in the pu jmp, a lubricating liquid is best. This will help it prime. Push the ‘start” button again. If nothing is flowing within two inutes, stop the pump. The pump is not a compressor, it will build up much alr pressure; it may be necessary to vent the discharge line unt liquid begins to flow. Iv the pump still does not deliver, the cause may be one oF more ofthe following 1 Suction line air leaks; vacuum gauge reading should help determine if this isthe problem End of suction pipe not submerged deep enough in Tiqui ‘3. Suction itis too great or the suction piping is too small 44, Liquid is vaporizing in the suction line before it gets to the pump If after consideration of these points it still does not pump, suggest you review again all points given under START UP; read through Troubleshooting in this manual, {and try again. If it still does not pump, contact your Viking representative. TROUBLESHOOTING |A Viking pump that is properly installed and maintained will give long and satistactory performance. NOTE: Before making any pump adjustment or opening the pump liquid chamber in any manner, make sure that 1) any pressure in the pumping chamber has been vented through the suction or discharge lines or other openings provided for this purpose, 2) the driver has been “locked out" so that it cannot inadvertently be started while work is being done on the pump and 3) the pump has been allowed to cool down to the point ‘where there is ne chance of enyone being burned. If trouble does develop, one of the first steps toward finding the diffcuty is to instal @ vacuum gauge in the suction port ‘and a pressure gauge in the discharge port. Readings on. these gauges often will give a clue as to where to start looking for the trouble. Vacuum Gauge - Suction Port 1. High reading would indicate - a).

Check parts for evidence of drag or contact in pump and inerease clearance where necessary. F). Rapid Wear. ‘On most applications the pump will operate for many months or years before it gradually loses its ablity to deliver capacity or pressure. Examination of such a pump would show a smooth wear pattern on all parts, Rapid wear, occurring in a few minutes, hours or days, shows up as heavy grooving, galing, twisting, breaking or similar severe signs of trouble, SEE CHART PAGE 7 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Performing a few preventative maintenance procedures will extend the life of your pump and reduce the overall cost of ownership. A), Lubrication - Grease all grease fitings after every 500 hours of operation or after 60 days, whichever occurs first. If service is severe, grease mare often. Do it gently with @ hand gun. Use a NLGI #2 grease for normal plications. For hot or cold applications use appropriate ‘grease. See Engineering Service Bulletin ESB-515, B). Packing Adjustment - Occasional packing adjustment may be required to keep leakage to a slight weep; if lmpossible to reduce leakage by gentle tightening, replace packing or use different type. See Technical Service Manual on particular model series for details on repacking, €), End Clearance Adjustment - Ater long service the running clearance between the and of the rotor teeth and the head may have increased through wear to the point where the pump is lasing capacity or pressure. Resetting €end clearance will normally improve pump performance. ‘See TSM on paricular model series for procedure on adjusting end clearance for pump involved D). Examine Internal Parts - Periodically remove the head, ‘examine idler and bushing and head and pin for wear, Replacing a relaively inexpensive idler bushing and idler pin after only moderate wear will eliminate the need to replace more expensive parts at a later date See TSM on paricular model series for procedure in removing head of the pump. Be sure idler does not slide off idler pin as head is removed and drop and hurt someone or damage the part. E), Cleaning the Pump -A clean pump is easier to inspect, lubricate, adjust, and runs cooler; pus, it looks better.F), Storage - If putip is to be stored, or not used for six months or more, pump must be drained and a light coat ‘of non-detergent SAE 30 weight ol must be applied to al internal pump parts. Lubricate fitings and apply grease to pump shaft extension. Viking suggests rotating pump shaft by hand one complete revolution every 30 days to circulate the oll, Relighten all gasketed joints before using the pump.
