Subject: Operation
Before you start the pump for the first time and always after maintenance, follow these precautions to prevent
accidents and to operate the pump without failures.
WARNING
Make sure that you cannot start the motor accidentally during the procedures that follow.
The pump parts and the piping must pass a leakage test before the start-up.
Leakage, especially in the suction piping, can decrease the performance of the pump and will prevent the filling of
the pump before the start-up.
NOTE
The regulations for pressure vessels are not applied to the pressure parts of the pump.
Figure 1
WARNING
Before you start the pump, make sure that all safety devices
(e.g coupling guards) are correctly installed.
1.5 Lubrication
Pump bearings:
Examine the oil or grease used for the lubrication of the pump bearings before start-up.
Condensation or entrance of dirt and water can occur if you put the pump unit into storage for a long period of time
before installation and start-up.
Motor bearings:
Examine the oil or grease used for the lubrication of the motor bearings before start-up.
Refer to the lubrication instruction in the installation and operating instruction of the motor manufacturer.
CAUTION
Do not operate the pump below the minimum recommended flow or with the discharge valve
closed. Cavitation, recirculation or increased temperature can quickly cause pump failure.
WARNING
Use the pump only for the purpose for which it is supplied and in accordance with these
instructions.
WARNING
Before you start the pump, make sure that the pump is sufficiently
filled with the pumped liquid.
1 Fill the pump with liquid so that the suction pipe and the pump cases are filled with liquid.
2 Open the shut-off valve (if installed) so much that the flow in the pipeline corresponds to the minimum flow of
the pump, and lock the valve open. If the pump does not have a device that ensures minimum flow, make
sure that at least the minimum required flow always flows through the pump.
3 Make sure that the coupling guard is in position.
4 Examine that the suction valve is fully open and that the discharge valve is closed.
WARNING
Do not stay near the discharge flange of the pump during the starting and operation of the pump.
If piping leaks occur, there is a risk of personal injury.
CAUTION
Monitor immediately after start-up the instrumentation that shows the discharge pressure. If the
correct pressure is not quickly reached, stop the motor and check the causes for the low
pressure.
CAUTION
If it is necessary to adjust the amount of liquid pumped, adjust the discharge valve. Do not use
the suction valve for flow adjustment.
1 Start the motor. Open the discharge valve until you get the correct flow rate. Starting to the proper operating
speed (or at least to the allowable minimum speed of rotation) must be done as quickly as possible (3-5
seconds). Do not operate the pump below the minimum speed of rotation (excluding starting and stopping).
Refer to instruction “Product description”.
2 Monitor the discharge side pressure. If you do not get the correct pressure quickly, stop the motor and find
the cause for the too low pressure. See Section “Troubleshooting, operation for possible causes”.
3 Make sure that there are no leaks from the flange connections or from the shaft seal of the pump.
4 Monitor regularly that the pump operates as planned. Monitor the process values of the pump and measure
the vibration values of the pump and motor.
CAUTION
If it is necessary to adjust the quantity of liquid pumped, adjust the discharge valve. Do not use
the suction valve for flow adjustment.
CAUTION
Do not operate the pump at a too high output.
Observe immediately after start-up the instrumentation showing the discharge pressure. If the
correct pressure is not quickly reached, stop the motor and check the causes for the low
pressure.
If it is necessary to adjust the amount of pumped liquid, do it by adjusting the discharge valve.
Never use the suction valve for flow adjustment.
1 Close the discharge valve to prevent the liquid from flowing back.
2 Stop the pump motor when the discharge valve is closed.
3 Close the suction valve if the pumped liquid flows out of the pipeline.
4 Remove pressure from the pump.
5 Close all sealing, cooling and flushing liquid equipment.
6 If the pumped liquid can freeze, drain the pump and the pipe for the standstill period.
Turn the shaft of the pump 2-3 times in the direction of rotation around at regular intervals during longer standstills.
Refer to section 3 Stopping the pump and also to instruction “Reception of supply / Storage”.
During operation, monitor the pump discharge side pressure, unusual sounds and vibrations.
NOTE
The correct final alignment is necessary for a correct operation of the pump unit.
Monitor the surroundings of the pump for possible liquid leaks. If there are leaks, find their cause.
5 Troubleshooting, operation
During the long-term operation of a pump unit, problems are many times caused by random failures, process
changes or corrosion and wear.
Problems occur usually because of unsatisfactory maintenance or because the limits for the intended use of the
pump are not followed.
The problem tracing analysis includes the usual malfunctions and their probable causes. If the pump does not
operate correctly, it is important to find the correct causes. Then the repairs and necessary changes can be done
immediately. See Tables 1-7.

Subject: Preventive maintenance
1 General
NOTE
Preventive maintenance is important for the safe operation of the machine.
Regular and accurate preventive and predictive maintenance can extend the product lifetime and reduce the need
for repairs and spare parts. An important part of quality maintenance is to monitor the instrumentation and to do
physical checks. Sulzer recommends that the maintenance system include a historical record kept of the condition
and performance of each pump. This helps to prevent sudden failures and facilitate potential failure analyses. In the
process industries, the cost of one process downtime caused by a pump is usually much more than the price of the
pump.
NOTE
If the pump performance is lower than the process requirements, disassemble and examine the
pump. Replace all worn parts with new and correct spare parts.
Fixed or portable instruments can cause a potential pump failure, and it is necessary to examine them regularly for
proper operation.
WARNING
In an explosive atmosphere, avoid abrasive cleaning when cleaning the pump to prevent
sparking caused by electrostatic charge (explosion hazard group IIC).
2 Temperatures
A regular check of the pump noise and vibration gives a good view of the condition and wear of the rotating parts of
the pump. This also enables the predictive maintenance procedures and decreases the number of unexpected shut-
downs. The admissible vibration severity values are shown in instruction “Product description”.
4 Discharge pressure
A regular control of the pressure supplied by the pump, the rated flow and the power consumption of the drive unit
gives a view of the condition and wear of the hydraulic parts of the pump. Refer to this control when you schedule
preventive maintenance procedures such as replacement of parts. If the discharge pressure of the pump decreases
or if the power demand increases slowly over time even though the pump has the same production rate and speed
of rotation all the time, it is a sign of increased internal clearances in the pump. The pressure and temperature limits
of the pump are shown in instruction “Product description”.
When you operate the pump in conditions that cause corrosion and/or in abrasive conditions, a regular control of
wall thicknesses in the parts is necessary. When the hydraulic surfaces are indicating signs of corrosion and wear,
the mechanical durability (pressure limits) shown in these instructions are no longer valid and you need to consider
replacing the corroded/worn parts.
Because of the casting tolerances (ISO 8062-3:2007), the nominal wall thicknesses shown in the casting drawings
cannot be used for the estimate of too much corrosion and wear. If corrosion and wear are possible, measure the
wall thicknesses of the volute case and case cover at specified points before the first start-up. These values can be
used as reference values for assessing corrosion and wear.
6 Shaft sealing
WARNING
Always stop the motor before you perform any maintenance tasks on the pump. Make absolutely
sure that the motor cannot start during repairs.
NOTE
Always drain the pump before you disassemble the shaft seal.
The shaft seal is installed at the factory before the supply. The cleanliness and lubricating properties of the pumped
liquid and the sealing liquid have an effect on the lifetime of the shaft seal. If the shaft seal has a leak, stop the pump
and replace the shaft seal. Refer to the shaft seal instructions in document “Maintenance Installation, operation and
maintenance instructions”.
CAUTION
The dry running of mechanical seals may damage the slide surfaces and cause leakage of the
pumped liquid.
7 Bearing unit
CAUTION
Never mix different grease grades (consistency, thickeners). The mixed grease becomes softer
and does not lubricate the bearings properly.
NOTE
All greasing equipment and fittings used must be clean to avoid any impurities from entering the
bearing housing.
NOTE
The surface temperature of the bearing unit can temporarily rise after regreasing due to an
excess amount of grease.
All the grease-lubricated bearings have been lubricated before the shipment. The first re-lubrication should be done
before the initial commissioning of the pump.
For normal conditions when the bearing housing surface temperature is below +176 °F (+80 °C), we recommend
lithium-based or lithium-calcium-based mineral greases for antifriction bearings, e.g.:
Shell Gadus S2 V220 2
Mobil, Mobilgrease XHP 222
If the bearings run hotter and the surface temperatures are above +176 °F (+80 °C), we recommend the use of the
following special greases:
Shell Gadus S3 V550L 1
Mobil, Mobilgrease XHP 461
These special greases can also be used with surface temperatures below +176 °F (+80 °C). If the ambient
temperature is below +32°F (0°C), always consult Sulzer about the use of the correct grease. All lubricants may not
be suitable for low temperature use.
Always consult the pump manufacturer about the use of any special greases and their start-up.

CAUTION
For delivery, the bearing housing of the pump has been emptied of oil. Remember to refill it
before starting,
For lubrication, use only high-quality mineral oils, the viscosity of which is ISO VG 46.
E.g.
Shell Tellus Oil S46
Mobil DTE Oil Medium
The viscosity of oil at the operating temperature must not be below 12 cSt (65 SSU). Please take a note that the oil
temperature may be different from the bearing housing surface temperature.
The oil cleanliness requirement is according to ISO 4406, solid contaminant code of oil: -/17/14. The maximum water
concentration in oil is 200 ppm.
If the ambient temperature is below +32°F (0°C), always consult Sulzer about the use of the correct synthetic oil. All
lubricants may not be suitable for low temperature use.

Oil change
After commissioning, replace the oil for the first time after approximately 100 hours of operation. After the first oil fill,
refer to the oil change intervals in Table 5. If the operation conditions cause contamination or changes in other
properties of the oil, the oil change interval must be shorter.
