WSP.
3.0 GENERAL
NOV WSP pumps, when properly installed, given proper care and regular maintenance will operate
satisfactorily for a long period of time. The following paragraphs discuss the general principles
that must be considered to ensure trouble-free operations.
3.1 Storage
All NOV WSP pumps are tested, inspected and protected against corrosion for the period of
shipment and installation only. If the pump is not to be installed at once, refer to the section
entitled "Long Term Storage of Pumps" in the Appendix.
3.6 Couplings
On pumps where couplings are used, do not connect the coupling until all pump and driver
alignment operations have been completed. Check the coupling faces and flanges of the
pump for true horizontal and vertical position by means of a level. Correct the positions
by adjusting the supports as required.
3.8 Gearbox
An enclosed gearbox with a 4.6:1 ratio is mounted on either the left or right side of the
power end. Provided the input shaft clears the pump housing, the gearbox is reversible.
Recommended lubricant under normal operation is 85W-140 gear oil. If equipment is kept
in long term storage or is inactive, then keep gearbox 90-95% filled.
The lubricant in a new gearbox should be changed after 500 hours of operation. Clean with
flushing oil.
Under normal operating conditions, change the lubricant every six months. Refer to
gearbox manual for specific recommendations.
Parts list and assembly of the gearboxes are included at the back of the manual in the
gearbox manual.
3.9 Lubrication
Read and follow lubrication instructions as they appear throughout this manual. The power
end and gearbox are pressure lubricated and are dependent on a properly operating system
with correct lubricants.
4.0 PIPING
4.1 General
Pipes must line up naturally. They must NOT be forced into place with flange bolts, as
this may force the pump out of alignment. Pipes should be supported independently of
pump thereby not producing any strain.
Variations in flow and pressure, changes in direction of flow, cavitation, worn plungers,
2
pump valves, etc., all contribute to piping vibration. Therefore, suction and discharge
piping must be rigidly fixed in all directions and not just lightly strapped down. Flush,
clean and blowout all piping before connecting to pump. Use pipe dope and tape sparingly,
and on the male threads only.
After the piping is installed, the pump driver and speed reducer alignment should be
rechecked and corrected as required.
The suction piping diameter should be equal to or larger than the pumps suction diameter.
The pipe should be routed without high spots, and have a continual rise upward toward the
pump. The pump must be able to be isolated for servicing; therefore, a fully opening block
valve should be located in the suction piping. All valves in the suction system should have
flow areas equal to or greater than that of the inlet line with minimum pressure drop across
them.
The suction piping system should provide a NPSH that exceeds the sum of the NPSH of
the pump, all frictional losses, acceleration head, and the negative peak of the complex
wave pulsation of the plungers. Cavitation is most often caused by the detrimental effects
of pulsation in the suction piping system. Additional suction head may be required if the
liquid contains dissolved gases.
A charge pump should be installed as close as possible to the supply source. Improper
selection or location of the booster pump can result in increased pulsation and attendant
problems. The capacity of the charge pump should be in excess of the capacity of the
reciprocating pump. The pressure of the charge pump shall be no less than 20 psi at the
reciprocating pump suction at maximum operating capacity.
Adequate provisions should be made for anchoring and supporting the piping spans. The
pump must be able to be isolated for servicing; therefore, a fully opening block valve
should be located in the discharge piping. Also, to protect the pump, a check valve should
be employed. To facilitate starting and to eliminate air, a vent or bypass valve should be
installed close to the pump.
5.0 ACCESSORIES
Full opening, pilot operated, or shear pin relief valves, or burst discs, which require little
or no over-pressure to develop fully open flow capacity are often preferable to spring
loaded relief valves. Spring types may require considerable over-pressure to compress the
spring, before becoming fully open, creating much pump overload.
Pressure relief valves have a "set" pressure, which may be described as the pressure at
which the relief valve cracks and begins to open, allowing some flow to pass through.
As additional pressure is applied, above this "set" or "crack" pressure, the spring-loaded
relief valve will gradually increase its port area until fully open.
When fully open, the relief valve must have sufficient capacity so it will relieve the full
capacity of the pump without excessive over-pressure. Available spring loaded relief
valves differ among manufacturers in extent of over-pressure needed to fully open the
valve. This range is generally 10% to 25% above the set pressure depending on spring
design. By choosing a larger valve this increase may be reduced.
If an attempt is made to set a relief valve too close to the average discharge pressure, the
valve may leak slightly due to pump pulsation. Leakage will quickly ruin the relief valve
seat and this condition should be corrected.
If plunger size is reduced or increased the relief valve setting must be altered accordingly.
Always install a liquid filled pressure gauge ahead of the relief valve so it reads the true
pump pressure while relieving.
The exhaust from the relief valve should always be directed to the supply tank - NOT to
pump suction.
The line from the relief valve to the tank must be the same size as the discharge line.
Calculate all pressure drops in the relief valve line when sizing the PRV. Where possible,
pipe the relief valve exhaust so that any leakage can be observed.
5.2 Strainer
To protect the pump from foreign matter, a suction strainer may be installed with a net area
three or more times the area of the suction pipe.
The strainer must be cleaned frequently to maintain a flow area exceeding the suction pipe
4
area. A clogged strainer will result in pump cavitation and serious damage. Therefore, the
strainer must be readily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
A pressure gauge should be installed near the pump in the suction line. If the pressure falls
below the original start-up pressure, the strainer must be inspected. Where a suction lift is
involved, a compound or absolute pressure gauge must be used.
In systems that have a variable discharge static pressure, the gas charged bladders on
dampener or accumulator devices can become ineffective and the use of acoustically tuned
all-liquid filter devices should be considered.
5
START-UP PROCEDURE
1.0 Verify pump has been properly installed and that related equipment is operational.
2.0 Open the suction line block valve and the discharge line vent or bypass. If the discharge line is
under pressure close the discharge line block valve to fill all lines and force air out of system. Close
vent (or bypass) valve. Open the discharge line block valve. Start pump driver and check direction
of crankshaft rotation against arrow on power frame. If driver is at three-phase electric motor,
rotation can be reversed by switching the connection of any two motor leads.
3.0 Pumps must undergo a break-in run before being put into service at rated load. The first few hours
of testing are usually performed at the factory. However, additional break-in occurs up to
approximately 100 hours of service. For example particles off of various internal parts are emitted
into the oil. Eventually, this will cause contamination of the lubrication system and potential pump
failure if not frequently checked during the break-in run.
2. Be sure that all guards, covers, and shields are in place. Remove only the inspection over
on the power end to observe oil flow.
3. Lock the pump drive (transmission or clutch should be in neutral). Start engine, and run at
idle. Check all crossheads, wrist pin bushings, main bearings, rod bearings, pine bearings,
and gears for proper oiling.
4. Increase engine RPM to full RPM. Check the vacuum gauge reading at the power end
lubrication pump suction. Reading should be less than 10 in HG. Check lubrication pump
discharge gauge reading. Pressure should be 60-80 psi. Check the entire lubrication
system for leaks. Relief valve on discharge side of lubrication pump should be set at 100-
125 psi.
7. Reduce engine speed. Operate triplex pump at 70-80 RPM and no pressure for 1/2 hour.
Oil temperature should not climb above 140o F (60o C). Observe power end for leakage
an unusual noise. Lubrication pump vacuum gauge reading should not fall below 10 in
HG (35 kPa). If it does, filters may be clogged; change as necessary. Discharge pressure
of lubrication pump should exceed 50 psi (3.4 bar).
8. Run pump at 70-80 RPM and 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of operating pressure for 1/2 hour
each. Observe oil pressures and temperatures. Oil temperature should not exceed 180 o F
(82o C).
9. On pumps equipped with a transmission, run pump for 1/2 hour in each gear range at 100%
operating pressure. Again observe oil pressures and temperatures.
10. Shut pump down and let cool before beginning normal operations. Change oil and filter
6
elements within the first 50 hours of operation. Clean strainers when changing oil.
If power end is too hot to touch, check temperature. If oil temperature is above 180 O F
(82O C), stop pump and allow cooling to ambient temperature. Repeat break-in run. If oil
temperature continues to exceed 180O F (82O C), stop the pump and refer to "Locating
Trouble" in Maintenance Instructions.
4.0 The electric motors driving most pumps are capable of starting the pump against line pressure.
However, due to electrical supply considerations, it may be advisable to use a manual or automatic
bypass valve to unload the pump until it has reached operating speed.

ROUTINE INSPECTION AND SERVICE INTERVAL
1.0 SCOPE
The following maintenance checklist is intended to serve as an INITIAL GUIDELINE ONLY
under nominal usage and operating conditions. Additional items or inspection interval changes
should be recorded in the pump service logs. In addition, some items may be replaced at
regularly scheduled intervals to prevent their costly emergency replacement. Consult factory for
specific recommendations.
2.1 Water - from oil seal, wiper seal, breather cap or gasket leakage.
2.2 Solids - from initial break-in as a result of first use as a new or rebuilt power end.
2.3 Dust, Sand or Dirt - from air-borne sources through the shaft and wiper seals or breather
cap.
2.4 Corrosives - from pumpage vapors or gases through the crankshaft seals or breather cap.

4.0 SERVICE PROCEDURES
The discharge valve is located just beneath the valve cover in the upper part of the fluid
end (see Fig. 1). Replacement of the spring or valve body can be accomplished without
removing the valve seats. If it is necessary to remove the discharge valve seat, remove
with valve seat puller available from National Oilwell Varco (see Fig. 2). Be careful not
to mar the tapered deck-seating surface.

4.2 Suction Valves
The suction valve is accessible after removing the cylinder head retainer nut and cover.
To remove the suction valve seat, it is necessary to first remove the discharge valve. To
get the plunger out of the way, rotate the pump until the plunger reaches its full back
position. Stop it before beginning the forward stroke. The next step is to disassemble the
valve components from the valve seat. Seat removal is accomplished by the use of a
puller available from the factory.
Refer to Fig. 3 when installing valve seats. Take care to avoid damage of tapered deck-
seating surfaces.
Valve seats should be DRIVEN into the seat deck until firmly seated. This is done by
using a flat disc and driving with a piece of pipe and a hammer.
CAUTION
Never drive on the valve body and do not use any method that will distort valve seats.
Taper surfaces must be CLEAN AND DRY! Use clean solvent or diesel fuel. Then wipe
dry with a clean rag before assembly.
4.3 Plungers
Plungers are removed through the fluid cylinder bore as shown in Fig. 1. First, remove
the cylinder head retaining nut and cover. Using the spanner wrench, loosed the gland nut
one full turn. Unscrew each plunger from the crosshead and remove the plunger through
the fluid end.
Threaded holes on the cylinder head cover are for attaching a lifting bar to assist in
removal.
CAUTION
Handle the plunger carefully. Any nicks in the main body of the plunger will cause
immediate and frequent packing failure.
12
Figure 2: Valve Seat Removal

4.4 Packing
Packing is available in a v-ring style as shown in Fig. 4. The v-ring set consists of a lantern
ring, a poly-pack seal, a metal packing ring, O-rings, backup rings, a single stack v-ring,
and a double stack v-ring.
1. Check packing rings, lantern rings, and gland nuts for nicks and dings. Rework (if
possible) or replace excessively worn parts.
2. Thoroughly clean and check all plungers and gland nut bores for excessive wear or
contaminant build up. Replace or rework any damaged or excessively worn parts.
3. Care must be taken installing the packing ring with new O-rings and backup rings
into the fluid end.
4. Care must be taken not to damage the outer packing lips during installation. This is
facilitated by using a puller plate, nut, all-thread and puller disc.
Each of the packing rings must be pulled into the box individually. The gland nut is
installed and made up tight to the fluid end. Install the plunger.
5. During priming of the pump, the plungers should be lubricated again. Start the
pump; continue lubrication at 2-3 minute intervals during the first 10-15 minutes of
operation to provide proper packing break-in. No further adjustments are required.

4.5 Fluid End
Disable the power unit before doing any maintenance work. To remove the fluid end from
the cradle area of the power end, refer to Fig. 1 and the previous section 4.3 on plunger
removal.
Disconnect suction and discharge flanges and accessories such as the pressure gauges.
Unscrew the plunger from the crosshead and slide the plunger forward a short distance into
the fluid end. Connect hoist to fluid end and tighten until snug.
Remove the eight 12-point cap screws from the fluid end. Raise and lower fluid end to
clear the fluid end adapters from the power frame.
When installing fluid end be sure the power frame and fluid end faces are clean.
Lift the fluid end and match the fluid end adapters to the power frame bores. Push the fluid
end toward the power frame. Install the eight cap screws and torque to value in torque
table.
Each wiper box assembly is attached to the cradle by four 3/8" cap screws. After removing
the plungers and the wiper box cap screws, the wiper box will slide out. It is necessary to
disconnect the plunger when installing oil seals. The seals are press-fit into the wiper box,
and the use of a seating disc is necessary to avoid damage or distortion to seal case.
Oil the plungers before installation of wiper seals and to avoid damage of seal lips. Worn,
pitted, or scored plungers must be replaced to avoid damaging seals and to retain and
protect the crankcase oil.
Remove the two cap screws joining the connecting rod cap to the connecting rod base.
Remove the rod cap and bottom connecting rod bearing.
NOTE: The rod cap and rod base are matched and marked for correct re-assembly.
Be careful not to lose dowel pins during disassembly. Use a rubber or wooden hammer to
tap a bearing away from cap or base (bearing housing). Clean the new bearings and
housings before replacing.
When replacing rod cap, keep both dowel pins in place. Match the marks on the rod cap
and base. Refer to torque table for the torque on the rod cap screws. Move the bearing
housing from side-to-side to check that the bearings turn freely on the crankshaft.
If new bearings have been installed, refer to the "Start-up" procedure before operating the
pump.
15
Disable the power unit before doing maintenance work.
Refer to power end Parts List for parts assembly of the crosshead, connecting rod, and wrist
pin. The crosshead slide should be inspected whenever a crosshead is removed and
replaced if wear exceed specified tolerances.
To inspect power end components, removing the wiper boxes, plungers, and connecting
rod bearings.
Rotate the crankshaft until crosshead and wrist pin are centered inside the inspection
window on the side of the power frame. Remove the outside snap ring from the crosshead,
and pull the wrist pin from the crosshead and connecting rod
Rotate the crankshaft to the end of stroke of the rod to be removed. Push the rod forward
until it clears the crankshaft throw. Lower the connecting rod to the bottom of the power
end. Again, rotate the crankshaft until the crankshaft throw is on top. Remove the
connecting rod out the back of the power end.
To remove the crosshead, rotate it until it is free of the guides on the crosshead slide. Be
careful with your hands as pinching can occur. Remove the crosshead through the
inspection cover.
NOTE: On some power ends the gearbox blocks the inspection cover on one side.
All crossheads can be removed, in order from the opposite side.
Use a hydraulic press to remove and replace the wrist pin bushing on the connecting rod.
When replacing the bushing, be certain that the groove is in line with the drill hole on the
connecting rod for proper lubrication.
Clean and inspect all bearings and bearing surfaces.
Replace components as necessary. Excessive scoring or grooving of crossheads or
crosshead slides is generally caused by contamination of the lubrication system. Change
oil at specified intervals and keep filters clean.
Reinstall the crosshead with one snap ring in place. Rotate the crosshead until it falls into
the matched grooves on the crosshead slide. Push as far toward the wiper box as possible.
With the crankshaft throw in the top position, lift the connecting rod into a position as far
forward toward the crosshead as possible. Rotate the crankshaft to the end of the
backstroke. Install the connecting rod bearings and cap onto the crankshaft.
Lift the wrist pin end of the connecting rod, slide the crosshead back and align the wrist
pin bores. Install the wrist pin and snap ring.
Install main bearing, retaining fasteners, pony rods and plungers. Run pump at slow speed
and check for complete oil lubrication.
Follow "Start-up" procedure on page. 7.
16
The Parts List shows the crosshead slides and the lubrication assembly that connects the
power end lubrication system to the slide and crosshead.
Each bore has a top and bottom crosshead slide. The crosshead slides should be inspected
for wear and dimensional tolerance whenever the crosshead is removed.
To remove a crosshead slide, first disconnect the bulkhead fitting and free the slide from
the lubrication system. Then remove the two cap screws from the end of the slide.
Lift the crosshead slide and shims through the inspection window. Inspect guide for pits,
cracks or scoring and replace if necessary.
To replace crosshead slides and crosshead, correct shims must be used. Install crosshead
slides, crosshead and plunger. With a micrometer, measure the distance from the plunger
to the wiper box seal bore on top and bottom. Subtract the smaller measurement from the
larger and divide by two for the correct shim pack. Torque the cap screws for the crosshead
slide to 15-20 ft. lbs. Care must be taken not to over torque.
Install the lower shim packs and lower crosshead slide. Tighten the slide cap screws.
Install the upper crosshead slide with no shims. Measure clearance with a feeler gauge.
Clearance should be .008" to .012" (0.2-0.3 mm). Adjust upper shim packs to achieve this
clearance.
Remove crosshead and slide. Add shim packs. Reassemble and check clearance. Install
cap screws and tighten. Reassemble crossheads, connecting rods, etc., per previous
instructions.
The lubrication assembly consists of lubrication tube and piping to allow oil to flow from
the power end lubrication system to the crosshead and crosshead slide. When starting
pump system, inspection should reveal that oil is flowing to all crossheads. Check hoses
at regular intervals (daily) and oil pressure to ensure proper working order. A pressure
switch should be incorporated into the power end lubrication system to shutdown unit if
pressure falls below 20 psi (1.4 bar) at the far end of the lubrication tube (end opposite oil
supply).
4.10 Gearbox
Gearboxes are available in 4.6:1 ratio. Gearboxes are lubricated as part of the power end
lubrication system on standard pumps.
The gear box is designed to remove from the power end assembly in one piece. This is
accomplished by removing the eight 7/8” nuts from the power end flange. This gearbox
does not have an idler and reverses direction of rotation.
17
4.11 Crankshaft and Bearing Assembly
The crankshaft and bearing assembly are shown in the Parts List in the back of this manual.
Inspect the crankshaft and bearings at regular intervals for wear and discoloration. Observe
oiling with covers off whenever starting the pump after overhaul. Oil should flow freely
over all four bearings. Calipers can be used for dimensional checks on worn areas under
connecting rod bearings.
Remove the gearbox per the previous section. Disconnect the connecting rods, crossheads,
plungers and remove as previously described
Turn the pump on its side with the crankshaft extension up. Attach a lifting eye to the end
of the crankshaft, lift up on the crankshaft. If necessary apply heat to the bearing retainer
to break it loose from the power end. Keep temperature under 250o F (120o C). Slowly
lift, pulling the cylindrical bearings through their races. It may be necessary to rotate the
crankshaft to allow the bearings to separate from the races.
Remove the bearing retainer, shaft bearing housing, spherical bearing, and cylindrical
bearings from the crankshaft. Low heat may be required for removal.
If required, remove cap screws, lock nut and retaining washers from cylindrical bearing
races still in power end. Remove the races by tapping with a bronze bar.
Follow above directions in reverse order for re-assembly. Use start-up procedures to
"break-in" power end after any major overhaul.
Fig. 5 shows a typical power end lubrication diagram with engine drive. Pumps that are
shipped as part of a package will include parts lists for the lubrication components.
Components may differ for various applications and power supplies.
The major components of a lubrication system as numbered in Fig. 10 include a gear pump
P02, oil sump or reservoir P11, relief valve P16, oil cooler P25, filter P21, vacuum gauge
P05, pressure gauge P07 and shutdown switch (not shown).
Select a gear pump with a flow of 12 to 18 USGPM capacity at rated speed. This should
result in a pressure reading of a minimum of 50 psi at the pressure switch mounted on the
18
lubrication tube on the triplex power end. Pressure switch should be mounted on the end
opposite the gearbox end. Gear pump can be drive by a PTO drive of an engine
transmission, or can be driven by pulley drive off the front of an engine, or powered
separately by electric motor on electric pump units.
The oil reservoir should have a minimum capacity of 30 US gallons (110 liters).
Hoses, cooler and filters will add approximately 10 US gallons (38 liters) to the system.
Reservoir will connect to power end, gearbox, gear pump, filter and cooler. Suction hose
to the gear pump should be 2 inches (50 mm) in diameter and as direct as possible. A
suction strainer of 125 (.12 mm) mesh should be located at the oil reservoir.
A sump heater may be incorporated into the oil reservoir for operation where ambient
temperatures fall below 32o F (0o C).
The use of heavy gear oil requires careful selection of the oil filter. Filter should be rated
100 US gallons per minute (380 1/min.) at 300 psi (20 bar). An internal bypass of 30 psi
(2 bar) should be included. Filter element should be 25 micron.
It is necessary for both equipment protection and personnel safety to incorporate a relief
valve in the lubrication system. Relief valve should be set at 125 psi (8 bar) and should
connect directly from the gear pump discharge to the oil reservoir.
It is recommended that an oil cooler be part of the lubrication system. A check valve or
full flow thermostat valve, either integral with the cooler or external, should be included to
bypass full oil flow from the cooler when the oil is cold (no need to cool cold oil) during
warm-up.
Three gauges should be part of the system. The vacuum gauge connected to the gear pump
suction should read between zero and 10 inches (0-130 kPa) of Hg when oil temperature
exceeds 120o F (50o C). Pump cavitation and damage will occur if the vacuum exceeds
20 inches of Hg (260 kPa). Clean suction strainer or repair gear pump if high vacuum
persists. A gauge on the gear pump discharge will assist with troubleshooting. A normal
reading would be 60 to 100 psi (4-7 bar). A combination pressure switch and gauge on the
lubrication tube will protect the power end from damage if the lubrication system fails. It
is recommended that shutdown be set at 20 psi (1.4 bar). Normal reading will be 35 to 60
psi (2.4 bar - 4.1 bar).
Pressure hose or piping should be either 1-inch, one-wire hydraulic hose or 1-inch schedule
40 pipe.

4.13 Packing Lubrication
Fig. 6 shows a proven lubrication schematic for automatic lubrication. The equipment
included in this system includes an air supply (usually an air compressor, governor and
tank), a filter regulator, air hose, gauges, check valve, 3-way valve, "air over oil" reservoir,
hydraulic hose, pipe fittings, oil check valves over each stuffing box, and finally the
stuffing boxes and packing.
Pumps powered by diesel engines often will include an air-shifted transmission that will
require an air compressor, governor and tank. The air tank can then be connected to the
"air over oil" reservoir with necessary hoses and valves. Tank should have a valve at
bottom for draining water.
The governor should be set to shift the air compressor into neutral when the pressure
reaches 100 to 125 psi (6.9-8.6 bar). A check valve is required between the compressor
and tank to prevent back flow of air when the compressor is in neutral. The filter regulator
should be set at 30 to 40 psi (2-3 bar) for proper packing lubrication. The 3-way valve
allows venting of the system as well as shut-off for maintenance.
The "air over oil" reservoir and filter-regulator is covered by a separate manual. The filter-
regulator has an adjusting knob on its top to regulate pressure.
Drawing 1-050342 shows the components for the plunger lubrication system offered as an
option on WSP pumps. Check valves are installed over each stuffing box to prevent flow
of high-pressure pumpage if packing failure were to occur. One-wire, 1/4" diameter (6
mm) hose should be used to connect the reservoir to the pipe cross over the middle stuffing
box and to connect the cross to the other two stuffing boxes.

APPENDIX B
SHORT TERM STORAGE
1.0 Purpose:
All NOV well service pumps, fluid end assemblies, and power end assemblies shall be
prepared for short-term storage unless otherwise indicated in the Engineering Quality
Requirement (EQR).
2.0 Scope:
2.1 Short Term Storage is defined as storage and/or transient time not exceeding six
(6) months in an environment as defined in paragraph 3.0. If a longer period is
expected, the procedure given in SEP-6.4.7 should be followed.
2.2 Short Term Storage procedures for any other unit components or accessories
(gear reducers, engines, etc.) are to be to the specific manufacturer's
recommendations.
2.3 National Oilwell Varco recommends that all pumps, fluid end assemblies, and
power end assemblies are inspected for any signs of corrosion and for proper
preservation at a minimum every three (3) months. At this time, it is recommended
that all pumps have their cranks rotated at least ten (10) to fifteen (15) revolutions.

APPENDIX C
LONG TERM STORAGE
1.0 Purpose:
Procedure for preparing pumps for long term storage; applies to all NOV well service
pumps, fluid end assemblies and power end assemblies.
2.0 Scope:
2.1 Long-Term Storage is defined as storage and/or transient time of more than six
(6) months in an environment defined in paragraph 3.0. Unless storage and/or
transient time for the pump can be assured to be less than six (6) months,
preparation of the pump to the procedures stated in paragraphs 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0
is required. If a shorter storage period is expected, not exceeding six (6) months,
the procedure given in SEP-6.4.6 should be followed.
2.2 Long Term Storage procedures for any other unit components or accessories
(gear reducers, engines, etc.) are to be to the specific manufacturer's
recommendations.
2.3 National Oilwell Varco recommends that all pumps, fluid end assemblies, and
power end assemblies are inspected for any signs of corrosion and for proper
preservation at a minimum every three (3) months. At this time, it is
recommended that all pumps have their cranks rotated at least ten (10) to fifteen
(15) revolutions.
3.2 If outside storage is required, ensure pump is stored away from salt water spray,
sand blast or other adverse conditions. It is also recommended to store the pump
off of the ground and cover the entire pump with plastic sheeting.
