Foundation requirements
Requirements
• The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid
support for the unit.
• Provide a flat, substantial concrete foundation in order to prevent strain and distortion
when you tighten the foundation bolts.
Baseplate-mounting procedures
Prepare the baseplate for mounting
1. Remove all the attached equipment from the baseplate.
2. Clean the underside of the baseplate completely.
3. If applicable, coat the underside of the baseplate with an epoxy primer.
Use an epoxy primer only if you used an epoxy-based grout.
4. Remove the rust-proofing coat from the machined mounting pads using an appropriate
solvent.
5. Remove water and debris from the foundation-bolt holes.
Prepare the foundation for mounting

1. Chip the top of the foundation to a minimum of 1.0 in. (25.0 mm) in order to remove porous
or low-strength concrete.
If you use a pneumatic hammer, make sure that it does not contaminate the surface with oil
or other moisture.
NOTICE:
Do not chip the foundation using heavy tools such as jackhammers. This can damage the
structural integrity of the foundation.
2. Remove water or debris from the foundation bolt holes or sleeves.

3. If the baseplate uses sleeve-type bolts, then fill the sleeves with a non-binding, moldable
material. Seal the sleeves in order to prevent the grout from entering.
4. Coat the exposed portion of the anchor bolts with a non-bonding compound such as paste
wax in order to prevent the grout from adhering to the anchor bolts.
Do not use oils or liquid wax.
5. If recommended by the grout manufacturer, coat the foundation surface with a compatible
primer.
Install the baseplate using shims or wedges

Required tools:
• Two sets of shims or wedges for each foundation bolt
Installation
• Two machinist's levels

• Baseplate-leveling worksheet
1. If you use sleeve-type bolts, fill the bolt sleeves with packing material or rags to prevent
grout from entering the bolt holes.
2. Put the sets of wedges or shims on each side of each foundation bolt.

• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation
or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious
physical injury.
• Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all
international, national, state, and local rules.
• Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturers installation and operation manuals (IOM)
for specific instructions and recommendations.
NOTICE:
Proper alignment is the responsibility of the installer and the user of the unit. Check the
alignment of frame-mounted units before you operate the unit. Failure to do so can result in
equipment damage or decreased performance.
Alignment checks
When to perform alignment checks
You must perform alignment checks under these circumstances:
• The process temperature changes.
• The piping changes.
• The pump has been serviced.
Types of alignment checks

Type of check When it is used
Initial alignment (cold alignment) Prior to operation when the pump and the driver are at ambient
check temperature.
Final alignment (hot alignment) After operation when the pump and the driver are at operating
check temperature.
Initial alignment (cold alignment) checks

When Why
Before you grout the baseplate This ensures that alignment can be accomplished.
After you grout the baseplate This ensures that no changes have occurred during the grouting
process.
After you connect the piping This ensures that pipe strains have not altered the alignment.
Final alignment (hot alignment) checks

When Why
After the first run This ensures correct alignment when both the pump and the driver
are at operating temperature.
Installation
When Why
Periodically This follows the plant operating procedures.

Attach the dial indicators for alignment

You must have two dial indicators in order to complete this procedure.
1. Attach two dial indicators on the pump coupling half (X):
a) Attach one indicator (P) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the perimeter
of the driver coupling half (Y).
This indicator is used to measure parallel misalignment.
b) Attach the other indicator (A) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the inner
end of the driver coupling half.
This indicator is used to measure angular misalignment.
Figure 5: Dial indicator attachment
2. Rotate the pump coupling half (X) in order to check that the indicators are in contact with
the driver coupling half (Y) but do not bottom out.
3. Adjust the indicators if necessary.
Pump-to-driver alignment instructions

Perform angular alignment for a vertical correction
1. Set the angular alignment indicator to zero at the top-center position (12 o’clock) of the
driver coupling half (Y).
2. Rotate the indicator to the bottom-center position (6 o’clock).
3. Record the indicator reading.
When the reading value is... Then...
Negative The coupling halves are farther apart at the
bottom than at the top. Perform one of these
steps:
• Add shims in order to raise the feet of the
driver at the shaft end.
• Remove shims in order to lower the feet of the
driver at the other end.
Installation

Positive The coupling halves are closer at the bottom than
at the top. Perform one of these steps:
• Remove shims in order to lower the feet of the
driver at the shaft end.
• Add shims in order to raise the feet of the
driver at the other end.
Perform angular alignment for a horizontal correction

1. Set the angular alignment indicator (A) to zero on left side of the driver coupling half (Y),
90° from the top-center position (9 o’clock).
2. Rotate the indicator through the top-center position to the right side, 180° from the start
position (3 o’clock).
Negative The coupling halves are farther apart on the right side than
the left. Perform one of these steps:
• Slide the shaft end of the driver to the left.
• Slide the opposite end to the right.
Positive The coupling halves are closer together on the right side
than the left. Perform one of these steps:
• Slide the shaft end of the driver to the right.
• Slide the opposite end to the left.
Perform parallel alignment for a vertical correction

Before you start this procedure, make sure that the dial indicators are correctly set up.
A unit is in parallel alignment when the parallel indicator (P) does not vary by more than as
measured at four points 90° apart at the operating temperature.
1. Set the parallel alignment indicator (P) to zero at the top-center position (12 o’clock) of the
driver coupling half (Y).
2. Rotate the indicator to the bottom-center position (6 o’clock).
Negative The pump coupling half (X) is lower than the
driver coupling half (Y). Remove shims of a
thickness equal to half of the indicator reading
value under each driver foot.
Positive The pump coupling half (X) is higher than the
driver coupling half (Y). Add shims of a thickness
equal to half of the indicator reading value to each
driver foot.
4. Repeat the previous steps until the permitted reading value is achieved.

Lubricating-grease requirements
Grease quality requirements
Use a high-quality grease lubricant corresponding to NLGI Grade 2.
Grease lubrication
Consider this information when you lubricate with grease:
• Pumps are delivered from the manufacturer with lubricated bearings and are ready to be
used.
• The bearings are filled with lithium-based grease, which is suitable for a temperature range
from -22°F to 194°F ( -30°C to 90°C) when measured at the surface of the bearing frame.
• Make sure that bearing temperatures, measured at the bearing frame, are no more than
122°F (50°C) above the ambient temperature and never exceed 194°F (90°C) when
checked weekly.
Shaft-sealing options
In most cases, the manufacturer seals the shaft before shipping the pump. If your pump does
not have a sealed shaft, see the Shaft-seal maintenance section in the Maintenance chapter.
This model uses these types of shaft seals:
• Cartridge mechanical seal
• Packed-stuffing-box option
Mechanical seal options

These are the mechanical seal options for this pump:
• Cartridge mechanical seal
Connection of sealing liquid for mechanical seals

Seal lubrication is required
Seal faces must have liquid film between them for proper lubrication. Locate the taps using the
illustrations shipped with the seal.
Seal flushing methods

You can use these methods in order to flush or cool the seal:
Method Description
Product flush Run the piping so that the pump pushes the pumped fluid from the casing and
injects it into the seal gland. If necessary, an external heat exchanger cools the
pumped fluid before it enters the seal gland.
External flush Run the piping so that the pump injects a clean, cool, compatible liquid directly into
the seal gland. The pressure of the flushing liquid must be 5 to 15 psi (0.35 to 1.01
kg/cm2) greater than the seal chamber pressure. The injection rate must be 0.5 to
2 gpm (2 to 8 lpm).
Other
Packed stuffing box option

WARNING:
Packed stuffing boxes are not allowed in an ATEX-classified environment.
These parts are included with the pump in the box of fittings. Before you start the pump, you
must install the packing, lantern ring, and split gland according to the Packed stuffing box
maintenance section in the Maintenance chapter.
Connection of sealing liquid for a packed stuffing box

WARNING:
NOTICE:
Make sure to lubricate the packing. Failure to do so may result in shortening the life of the
packing and the pump.
You must use an external sealing liquid under these conditions:

• The pumped fluid includes abrasive particles.
• The stuffing-box pressure is below atmospheric pressure when the pump is running with a
suction lift or when the suction source is in a vacuum. Under these conditions, packing is
not cooled and lubricated and air is drawn into pump.
Conditions for application of an external liquid

Pump priming
Prime the pump with the suction supply above the pump
1. Slowly open the suction isolation valve.
2. Close the air vents.
Prime the pump with the suction supply below the pump
Use a foot valve and an outside source of liquid in order to prime the pump. The liquid can
come from one of these sources:
• A priming pump
• A pressurized discharge line
• Another outside supply
1. Close the discharge isolation valve.
2. Open the air vent valves in the casing.
3. Open the valve in the outside supply line until only liquid escapes from the vent valves.
4. Close the vent valves.
5. Close the outside supply line.
Other methods of priming the pump

You can also use these methods in order to prime the pump:
• Prime by ejector
• Prime by automatic priming pump
Start the pump

WARNING: Immediately observe the pressure gauges. If discharge pressure is not quickly
attained, stop the driver immediately, reprime, and attempt to restart the pump.
CAUTION:
• Observe the pump for vibration levels, bearing temperature, and excessive noise. If
normal levels are exceeded, shut down the pump and resolve the issue.
• On pure or purge-oil mist-lubricated units, remove the viewing port plugs to verify that oil
mist flowing properly. Replace the plugs.
• On frame mounted units, ensure that the oil level is correct prior to starting pump. Close
coupled pumps do not have oil lubricated bearings.
• Ensure all flush and cooling systems are operating correctly prior to starting pump.
1. Fully close or partially open the discharge valve, depending on system conditions.
2. Start the driver.
3. Slowly open the discharge valve until the pump reaches the desired flow.
4. Immediately check the pressure gauge to ensure that the pump quickly reaches the correct
discharge pressure.
5. If the pump fails to reach the correct pressure, perform these steps:
a) Stop the driver.
b) Restart the driver.
6. Monitor the pump while it is operating:
a) Check the pump for bearing temperature, excessive vibration, and noise.
b) If the pump exceeds normal levels, then shut down the pump immediately and correct
the problem.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the pump runs properly.
Limits of operation
Flow limits
These flow limits are valid unless other data is available in the curves or data sheets:
Qmin = 0.1 x QBEP Short-term operation
Qmin = 0.3 x QBEP Continuous operation
Qmax = 1.2 x QBEP Short-term operation as long as NPSHfacility >
NPSHpump + 1.64 ft (0.50 m)
Permitted number of starts

Do not start the pump more than the number of times shown in this chart:
For pumps that use electric motors, do not start the motor more than the number of times listed
in the motor operation instructions. If two different numbers are shown, the lower number of
starts is the limit.
Pump operation precautions

General considerations
CAUTION:
• Vary the capacity with the regulating valve in the discharge line. Never throttle the flow
from the suction side since this can result in decreased performance, unexpected heat
generation, and equipment damage.
Do not overload the driver. Driver overload can result in unexpected heat generation and
equipment damage. The driver can overload in these circumstances:
• The specific gravity of the pumped fluid is greater than expected.
• The pumped fluid exceeds the rated flow rate.
• Do not operate pump past the maximum flow. For maximum flow refer to the pump
performance curve.
• Do not overload the driver. Driver overload can result in unexpected heat generation and
equipment damage. The driver can overload in these circumstances:
• The specific gravity of the pumped fluid is greater than expected.
• The pumped fluid exceeds the rated flow rate.
• Do not operate pump below hydraulic or thermal minimum flow. For hydraulic minimum
flows refer to technical manual and pump performance curve. To calculate thermal
minimum flow, refer to HI Centrifugal Pumps for Design and Application ANSI/HI 1.3-
2000.
• Make sure to operate the pump at or near the rated conditions. Failure to do so can result
in pump damage from cavitation or recirculation.
Operation at reduced capacity
WARNING:
Never operate any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge. Operation, even for
a brief period under these conditions, can cause confined pumped fluid to overheat, which
results in a violent explosion. You must take all necessary measures to avoid this condition. If
pump becomes plugged shut down and unplug prior to restarting pump.
CAUTION:
• The pump and system must be free of foreign objects. If pump becomes plugged, shut
down and unplug prior to restarting pump.
• Avoid excessive vibration levels. Excessive vibration levels can damage the bearings,
stuffing box or seal chamber, and the mechanical seal, which can result in decreased
performance.
• Avoid increased radial load. Failure to do so can cause stress on the shaft and bearings.
• Avoid heat build-up. Failure to do so can cause rotating parts to score or seize.
• Avoid cavitation. Failure to do so can cause damage to the internal surfaces of the pump.
Operation under freezing conditions
NOTICE:
Shut down the pump

1. Slowly close the discharge valve.
2. Shut down and lock the driver to prevent accidental rotation.
Deactivate the i-ALERT™ Condition Monitor

NOTICE:
Always deactivate the condition monitor when the pump is going to be shut down for an
extended period of time. Failure to do so will result in reduced battery life.
1. Touch and hold a small magnet to the condition monitor over the ITT logo until the red
LEDs blink three times.
This should take 10-15 seconds if the condition monitor is in normal operating mode and
approximately five seconds if the condition monitor is in alarm mode.
2. Remove the magnet.
If the deactivation is successful, solid red LEDs will be displayed.
Make the final alignment of the pump and driver

WARNING:
physical injury.
• Alignment procedures must be followed to prevent unintended contact of rotating
parts. Follow coupling manufacturer’s installation and operation procedures.
You must check the final alignment after the pump and driver are at operating temperature. For
initial alignment instructions, see the Installation chapter.
1. Run the unit under actual operating conditions for enough time to bring the pump, driver,
and associated system to operating temperature.
2. Shut down the pump and the driver.
3. Remove the coupling guard.
4. Check the alignment while the unit is still hot.
See Pump-to-driver alignment in the Installation chapter.
5. Reinstall the coupling guard.
6. Restart the pump and driver.

Lubricating-grease requirements
Grease quality requirements
Use a high-quality grease lubricant corresponding to NLGI Grade 2.
Maintenance
Grease lubrication
Consider this information when you lubricate with grease:
• Pumps are delivered from the manufacturer with lubricated bearings and are ready to be
used.
• The bearings are filled with lithium-based grease, which is suitable for a temperature range
from -22°F to 194°F ( -30°C to 90°C) when measured at the surface of the bearing frame.
• Make sure that bearing temperatures, measured at the bearing frame, are no more than
122°F (50°C) above the ambient temperature and never exceed 194°F (90°C) when
checked weekly.
Regrease the grease-lubricated bearings

NOTICE:
Make sure that the grease container, the greasing device, and the fittings are clean. Failure to
do this can result in impurities entering the bearing housing when you regrease the bearings.
1. Wipe dirt from the grease fittings.

2. Fill the grease cavities through the fittings with a recommended grease.
3. Wipe off any excess grease.
4. Recheck the alignment.
The bearing temperature usually increases by 9°F to 18°F (5°C to 10°C) after you regrease
due to an excess supply of grease. Temperatures return to normal in about two to four
operating hours as the pump runs and purges the excess grease from the bearings.
Shaft seal maintenance

Mechanical-seal maintenance
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to mechanical seal. If you run a mechanical
seal dry, even for a few seconds, this can cause seal damage. Physical injury can occur if a
mechanical seal fails.
Cartridge-type mechanical seals

Cartridge-type mechanical seals are commonly used. Cartridge seals are preset by the seal
manufacturer and require no field settings. Cartridge seals installed by the user require
disengagement of the holding clips prior to operation, allowing the seal to slide into place. If the
seal has been installed in the pump by ITT, these clips have already been disengaged.
Other mechanical seal types

For other types of mechanical seals, refer to the instructions provided by the seal manufacturer
for installation and setting.
Before you start the pump

Check the seal and all flush piping.
Maintenance
Packed stuffing-box maintenance

WARNING:
• Never attempt to replace the packing until the driver is properly locked out and the
coupling spacer is removed.
Adjustment of gland
Adjust the gland if the leakage rate is greater than or less than the specified rate.
Evenly adjust each of the two gland bolts with a one-quarter (1/4) turn until the desired leakage
rate is obtained. Tighten the bolts to decrease the rate. Loosen the bolts to increase the rate.
Tightening of packing
NOTICE: Never over-tighten packing to the point where less than one drop per second is
observed. Over-tightening can cause excessive wear and power consumption during opera-
tion.
If you cannot tighten the packing to obtain less than the specified leakage rate, then replace the
packing.
Disassembly
Disassembly precautions
WARNING:
• This manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These
methods must be adhered to. Trapped liquid can rapidly expand and result in a violent
