• No task is so important or urgent that it cannot be undertaken safely;
• I will only undertake tasks that I am trained, competent and properly prepared for;
• I will never cut corners, nor take shortcuts at the expense of safety;
• I will stop the job if I believe it is unsafe to continue.

2.2.2 Starting Procedures

Pump unit to be operated by experienced


WARNING ! personnel only.

2.2.2.1 Start Up Procedure

1. Turn Battery Isolator switch to the ON position.


2. Turn START/STOP switch to start engine, allow engine to idle.
3. Wait for the pump to prime.
4. When primed set operating speed (as described below).
5. Check for oil or water leaks etc, around the engine.
6. Check that water is flowing from the discharge pipe.

2.2.2.2 Operating Speed

(To Set the Operating Speed)

1. Increase the engine RPM until the pump starts to cavitate. The pump
will vibrate and a crackling sound will be heard at the pump volute.
2. Decrease the RPM slowly until the pump stops cavitating completely.
The vibration and crackling sound will go away.

This is the correct engine operating speed for this application.

2.2.3 To Shutdown
1. Decrease engine RPM slowly to idle.
2. Stop engine with start/stop switch.
3. Drain pump volute (if pumping slurry).
4. Use emergency stop only if necessary.

2.2.4 Shutdown Protection


2.2.4.1 Waterloss Shutdown System

One of the safety features provided to protect the Multiflo pump during
operations is a “water loss” wet end shutdown system. A probe situated in the
discharge pipework detects the rate of flow from the pump. Once the rate of
flow becomes too low to keep the switch activated the pump will begin the
shutdown timer. If this water loss situation remains for six minutes, the engine
will be automatically shut down. This is designed to minimize unnecessary
operation of seals (gland) and bearings.

When or if there is sufficient water available within the six minute period, the
shutdown system automatically resets.

3.1.2.1 Vacuum Pump Piston & Re-Ringing Instructions

It is advisable that the ridge be removed from the top of worn cylinders prior to
removing the piston. Failure to do so may result in cracked or broken piston
ring lands.

The ring sets are designed to bed in on both new bores and worn bores.
Honing is not essential but it is recommended to give the optimum result.
However, it is essential if one of the following conditions are present:-
 Excessive wear.
 Bore distortion.
 Polishing or Glazing.
 Scuffing.
 Scratching.

When boring to oversize, allow sufficient honing allowance to completely


remove boring marks (0.06 is usually needed).

Aim for a high cross hatch angle (30° - 60° included) and an even cut in both
directions.

Machine hone if possible as hand honing is harder to achieve the desired


result.

Multiflo Model CF-48 Pump Unit – Maintenance Manual 2


(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

Poor cleaning after honing accounts for most of today’s wear out / oil
consumption problems. Petrol and kerosene are not suitable. Soap and hot
water with a nylon scrubbing brush are best. Check with a clean white cloth
which should not come out grey. Finally, swab with a light engine oil to
prevent corrosion.

Always replace scuffed, cracked, worn or otherwise damaged pistons.

Always check the gap clearance of new rings in the lower unworn portion.
The gap should not be less that 0.003mm per mm of cylinder diameter.

Maximum gap condition is not especially


INFORMATION ! critical but should not exceed 0.01mm
per mm for compression rings while gap
on oil ring rails may be up to 1.75mm
regardless of bore size.

Ensure piston rings and pin are thoroughly clean and then lubricate rings,
skirt, pin bores and bearings with engine oil. Use a good quality ring
compressor held firm against the engine block at the time of entry of the rings
into the cylinder.

• Use a ring expander or expand with the thumbs before placing in piston
grooves.


FIGURE 9
CORRECT EXPANSION
METHOD FOR
COMPRESSION RINGS

• All rings must have clearance between the back of the ring and the back
of the groove. To check this, push the rings against the bottom of the
groove on the thrust side of the piston, then place a straight edge against
the skirt of the piston. The minimum clearance between rings and edge
should be 0.3mm for compression rings and 0.15mm fir oil rings.

FIGURE 10
CORRECT RING
BACK CLEARANCE

Correct running in of rings is essential, especially on un-honed bores. Firstly,


avoid prolonged idling and vary the engine speed and load. The load provides
the build-up of pressure behind the compression rings and helps them to bed
in.

3.1.3 Maintenance – Bare Shaft Pump


These pump units are of robust construction and when correctly installed and
operated, will give long trouble free service with a minimum amount of
maintenance. There are only four areas of maintenance for the bare shaft
pump and these are:
 Gland.
 Impeller.
 Lubrication.
 Bolts.

3.1.3.1 Gland

The CF Gland system requires a shot of grease into the stuffing box before
each startup of the pump. This system requires the use of "Flurograph 193" or
equivalent packing, which has been found, through experience, capable of
providing excellent service under the harsh conditions under which it may be
called upon to operate.

The gland should be adjusted regularly to prevent excess leakage. The gland
must not be over tightened as this will lead to over heating of the gland area
and short life of the sealing components.

The pumps will require repacking when the gland follower is tight against the
stuffing box. It is imperative that all packing rings are replaced when
repacking. Replacement of only the first few sets of packing will lead to
premature wear of the shaft and priming difficulties.

Each ring of packing should be inserted separately and pushed in place into
the stuffing box. The split opening of the successive packing rings are to be
positioned at 180° intervals. A slight leak is des irable from the newly packed
gland to allow the packing time to bed in. Excessive tightening at this period
will result in burning of the packing and scoring of the shaft.

Multiflo Model CF-48 Pump Unit – Maintenance Manual 7


(Always quote Model and Serial Number of Unit when Ordering Parts)
Weir Minerals Multiflo

Gland Packing Removal:


The gland packing must be replaced when packing has deteriorated to the point that
no further tightening of the gland will provide a seal or when the gland follower has
reached the end of its travel. All packing rings must be replaced, adding one or two
new rings on top of the old rings is not sufficient to provide a proper seal.

Remove the two gland adjustment nuts and withdraw the gland follower from the
stuffing box. Remove the two gland follower securing bolts then remove both halves
of the follower from the shaft.

Using the appropriate packing removal tool, (PAK 1) remove all packing rings from
stuffing box and clean out any remaining residue.

FIGURE 11
PACKING REMOVAL TOOL

Gland Packing Installation:


New packing rings must be installed one at a time by placing rings on the shaft and
pressing each ring all the way into the stuffing box, ensuring the ends are fitted neatly
together. Successive ring joints must be staggered around stuffing box. Pump
models with Lantern rings should have the lantern ring re-installed. Check with the
pump manual for correct positioning between the gland packing rings.

Fit gland follower to shaft and nip gland nuts up to pack gland packing. Ensure front
face of gland follower has entered the stuffing box housing. If after tightening the
gland nuts the packing has compressed enough to allow space for another ring,
remove gland follower, fit extra packing ring, re-assemble follower and nip gland nuts
up again. Back nuts off and leave finger tight until pump is started.

After pump has been started, the glands must be adjusted to provide reasonable
leakage. When water pressure is at a minimum the gland should leak slightly,
therefore when this pressure rises, leakage will necessarily be excessive. If the
gland is adjusted to provide optimum leakage at higher pump rpm (high pressure),
insufficient leakage will occur when the rpm falls or is less from the point of
adjustment.

abrasive material can quickly wear the gland components. Always maintain a very
small amount of water leakage along the shaft by regularly adjusting the gland.

As well as lubricating and cooling the gland, the water escaping from the gland also
prevents the ingress of air when the pressure at the shaft falls below atmospheric.
E.g. when a vacuum is required.

If one of the following conditions apply, air may be induced into the pump through the
gland. This may prevent the pump “picking up” its prime or cause it to loose its prime
during operation.
 Packing has insufficient tension.
 Packing is excessively worn.
 Shaft sleeve is excessively worn.

Inspection of the gland will reveal if any of the above faults are occurring.

3.1.3.2 Impeller

The performance of the pump can change with excessive clearance between the
impeller and the front wear plate/door. For best performance it may be necessary to
occasionally stop the pump and move the impeller forward. This adjustment can be
carried our in a few minutes without any dismantling.

3.1.3.3 Lubrication

A correctly assembled and pre-greased bearing assembly will have a long trouble
free life, provided it is protected against ingress of water or other foreign matter and
that it is adequately maintained. The bearing assembly should be opened at regular
intervals (no longer than 12 months) to inspect the bearing and grease.

The shots are from a standard hand operated grease gun (approximately 1cc). The
grease used for both bearings and labyrinths should be a lithium complex soap
thickener grease with EP additives and oxidant inhibitors. If the bearing assemblies
run at above 85°C, then a high temperature grease s hould be used.

3.1.4 Maintenance - Drive Components


3.1.4.1 Drive Belt Tensioning

Pump unit to be locked and tagged before


WARNING ! any maintenance or service is performed.

Personal Protective Equipment must be


CAUTION ! worn when operating or servicing this unit.

Put the belts around the pulleys, set them to the appropriate tension value
stated in the "Tensioning Forces" Table (using the Belt Tension Indicator as
shown), run the drive under load for 30 minutes, stop the drive, check the
tension, re-setting to catalogue value if necessary. On a properly designed
drive for the application there will be no need for any further attention during
the life of the drive.

1. Calculate the deflection distance in mm on a basis of 16mm (5/8”) per


metre (yard) of span. Centre Distance (m) x 16 = Deflection (mm).

2. Set the lower marker ring at the deflection distance required in mm on the
lower scale.

3. Set the upper marker ring against the bottom edge of the top tube. Place
the belt tension indicator on top of the belt at the centre of span, and apply
a force at right angles to the belt deflecting it to the point where the lower
marker ring is level with the top of the adjacent belt.

For single belt drives a straight edge


INFORMATION ! should be placed across the two pulleys
to act as a datum for measuring the
amount of deflection. If the measured
force falls within the values given, the
drive should be satisfactory. A measured
force below the lower value indicates
under-tensioning. A new drive should be
tensioned to the higher value to allow for
the normal drop in tension during the
running-in period. After the drive has
been running for 30 minutes, the tension
should be checked and re-adjusted to the
higher value, if necessary.

4. Read off the force value indicated by the top edge of the upper marker ring.

5. Compare this force to the kgf value shown in the attached table.

6. If a Fenner Belt Tension Indicator is not available, a spring balance and rule
will suffice.

Pulley Installation
Before assembling the drive, check the pulley grooves are free from scores or
sharp edges and all dimensions conform to the relevant standard. The
Taperlock Bush is the starting point when it comes to assembly and
installation. Drive installation is a straight forward job with Taperlock, but the
stages set out on the installation leaflet provided with every Taperlock bush
should be followed closely.

CAUTION ! worn when operating or servicing this unit.

When the pulleys have been correctly positioned on the shafts, the belts can
be installed to complete the drive. The drive centre distance should be
reduced prior to the installation of the belts so that they may be fitted without
the use of force. Under no circumstances must belts be forced into the
grooves. Belts and pulley grooves can be easily damaged by using sharp
tools to stretch the belts over the pulley rim.

CAUTION ! worn when operating or servicing this
equipment.

Names and basic part numbers are used


in assembly instructions in this manual.
INFORMATION ! Full part numbers should be used upon
ordering spare parts.

When pumps have been dismantled for


complete overhaul, all parts should be
INFORMATION ! closely inspected and new parts checked
for correct identification.

Used parts being replaced should be


thoroughly cleaned and repainted where
INFORMATION ! required.

Mating faces and spigots should be free


of rust, dirt and burrs and given a coat of
INFORMATION ! grease before they are fitted together to

Weir Minerals Multiflo

It is preferable to renew small bolts and


set screws during overhaul and all
INFORMATION ! threads should be coated with graphite
grease before assembly. It is also
recommended that all rubber seals
should be replaced during major
