2.0 General Information
2.1 Construction Features
This is a horizontal, axial split case type centrifugal pump. The suction and discharge
nozzles are combined with the pump casing as a whole. With this arrangement, repair and
disassemble is very easy, it is not necessary to disconnect suction or discharge piping and
driven to check the elements in the pump, and it is not necessary to open the upper casing to
replace the sealing and shaft bearing. SCF pump adopts the smaller bearing span and
excellent hydraulic design, minimized the vibration of pump and longer the service time of
the bearing, which has reduced the maintenance cost. Optimized minimum bearing span and
casing wall thickness ensured the maximum allowable working pressure and good
mechanical work performance.Double suction impeller (or two stage pump impeller
back-to-back assembled) can balance the axial force automatically, which will help client to
minimize stock and short the delivery time for spare parts.The pump with this mechanical
design can maintenance the spare parts easily.

3.0 Storage and Protection

All pumps are shop serviced and ready for operation when delivered, but there is occasions
when considerable time elapses between the delivery date and the time the pump is put into
operation. Equipment, which is not in service, should be kept in a clean, dry area. If equipment is to
be stored for long periods of time (six months or more), the following precautions should be taken
to insure that the equipment remains in good condition.
◆Be sure that the bearings are fully lubricated.
◆Unpainted-machined surfaces, which are subject to corrosion, should be protected by some
corrosive resistant coating: Paint a layer of corrosion resistant coating, such as anti-rust oil or
anti-rust grease.
◆The shaft should be rotated 10 to 15 revolutions by hand periodically in order to spread the
lubricant over all the bearing surfaces. Suitable intervals are from 1 to 3 months, depending on
atmospheric conditions, etc. In order to insure that the pump shaft does not begin to sag, do not
leave the shaft in the same position each time.
◆Fresh lubricant must be painted to the bearings upon the equipment is drawn from the
warehouse.

4.0 Installation
4.1 Location
Several factors should be considered when selecting a location for the pumping unit (pump,
base, drive, and electric controller etc). The unit should be accessible for both inspection and
maintenance.The pump should be located as close as possible to the liquid supply so that the
suction line is short and direct. Location should require a minimum of elbows and fittings in the
discharge line to minimize friction losses.
4.2 Foundation
According to DIN1045 or equivalent standard, the foundation should be sufficiently substantial
to ensure installation is safety and validity.Before mounting the pump set,ensure the concrete base
fixed, the top surface of the foundation should be roughened to provide a good bond for the
second-grout.
4.3 Base-plate Parallel Alignment and Concrete Pouring

4.3.1 Base-plate Parallel Alignment: Handle with care to place the pump set on the
concrete foundation, the anchor bolts are suspended on the base-plate, the anchor bolts shall
be placed into the hole of anchor bolts in the concrete foundation.Put the adjusting-pad on
the concrete foundation of the adjusting bolts, and install the whole unit on the
adjusting-pad, the anchor bolt is aligned with the heavy-duty fastening hole, and adjust the
whole unit by adjusting the bolt.There should be a gap of about 50mm between the pad and
the base-plate.

ADJUSTING BOLT
ANCHOR BOLTS

FOOT PAD
STEEL BUSHING

Alignment of the base-plate is accomplished by adjusting the bolt.After alignment, the

base-plate is supported by a steel bushing.These steel bushings are used to support during the
process of concrete pouring to the anchor bolts.In order to avoid twisting the base-plate during the
process of setting screw, the steel bushing should be placed as close to the anchor bolt as
possible.The steel bushing is fixed by pouring later.
Attention should be paid to the base-plate with the foundation installation shall without stress
during alignment.The motor shall not be higher than the pump at any condition, and the deviation
shall not exceed ±0.1mm/m between the base-plate and horizontal level. To pad the motor with
steel plate for later alignment.

－6－
4.3.2 Concrete Pouring
Loosen adjusting bolts to remove adjusting-pads before concrete pouring the base-plate.
The base is mounted on the steel plate. Starting to pouring anchor bolts with concrete after
re-checking alignment. Anchor bolts must be tightened after concrete solidification. After
that, the height with the flange must be checked for alignment.Any deviation must be
realignment to compensate. Pouring the base-plate start after alignment.Note that bubbles
are not allowed to occur under the base-plate, especially note that there must be no gaps
between the foundation and the base-plate to ensure that the base-plate is completely fixed.
4.4 Alignment
Reliable trouble-free and efficient operation of a unit depends upon correct alignment.
Misalignment may be the cause of noisy pump operation, vibration, premature bearing failure, or
excessive coupling wear. Factors that may change the alignment of the pumping unit are settling
of the foundation, springing of the base-plat, piping strains, a shift of a pump or driver on the
foundation.
Two types of misalignment may exist: parallel misalignment and angular misalignment. Limits
of misalignment are stated in the coupling manufacturer's instructions, but should be kept to a
minimum for maximum life of equipment components.
To check coupling alignment, the following procedure should be followed:
◆Set the coupling gap to the dimension shown on the outline drawing.
◆Check for parallel misalignment by placing a straight edge across both coupling halves at
four points 90°apart. Correct alignment occurs when the straight edge is level across the coupling
halves at all points.
◆Check angular misalignment with a feeler gauge at four points 90°apart. Correct alignment
occurs when the same gauge just enters between the halves at all four points.
Angular and parallel misalignment are corrected by shifting the motor and adding or removing
shims from under the motor feet. After each change, it is necessary to recheck the alignment of the
coupling halves. Adjustment in one direction may disturb adjustment already made in another
direction.
An alternative method for checking coupling alignment is by use of a dial indicator.
Proceed as follows:
◆Scribe index lines on coupling halves or mark where the indicator point rests.
◆Set indicator dial to zero.
◆Slowly turn both coupling halves so that the index lines match, or the indicator point is
always on the mark.
◆Observe dial reading to determine whether adjustments are needed. Acceptable alignment
occurs when total indicator reading does not exceed 0.004 inches for both parallel and angular
alignment.
Alignment should be checked and corrected as required after:
◆Mounting
◆Grouting has hardened
◆Foundation bolts are tightened
◆Piping is connected

－7－
 ◆Pump, driver, or base plate is moved for any reason.

FIG.2 TESTING ALIGNMENT , DIAL INDICATOR

4.5 Connect Piping and Accessories
Note: Do not use the pump as an anchorage point for the piping. Suction lift line shall be laid
with a continuous upward slope, suction head line with a downward slope towards to the pump,
the suction line shall be as the shortest as possible and connect to the pump properly without
transmitting any stresses or stains.Pipes should be support independently of the pump so as not
to put any strain on the pump casing.To the short distance pipeline, the nominal diameter of the
pipelines are equal to the the nominal diameter of the pump nozzles at least. To the long distance
pipeline, the most economical pipeline diameter needs to be determined according to the
situation.The additional load on the nozzles are mainly the weight of pipe filled with water;The
fluctuation of medium temperature leads to the change of pipeline length.The stress caused by the
unsupported auxiliary equipment shall not exceed the limit.

－8－
 Before installing the pump in the piping, remove the flange covers on the suction and
discharge nozzles of the pump. After all piping connections have been made, the alignment should
be checked again.

6.0 Maintenance
6.1 General instruction
The operator ensures that maintenance, inspection and installation is performed by
authorized, qualified specialist personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the manual.A
regular maintenance schedule will help to avoid expensive repairs and contribute to
trouble-free, reliable operation of the pump, pump set and pump parts with a minimum of
servicing/maintenance expenditure and work.

Ensure that the pump set can not be started unintentionally. (Danger)
When pumping the liquid that is harmful to health, it must be purified. In the process
of discharging, it must check whether it will endanger the health and pollute the environment.
Relevant laws and regulations must be followed.
6.2 Maintenance
6.2.1 Operation Management
The pump must run quietly and free from vibrations at all times, drying running is
not allowed.
Prolonged operation against a closed shut-off valve is not permitted, heating up of the
fluid.
The bearing temperature must not exceed 90°when the room temperature under 30°。The
bearing temperature must under 100°when the room temperature higher than 30°。
Never close the shut-off valve in the suction line during pump operation.
Start-up the standby pump once a week to ensure it is ready to run at any time.
Monitor the correct functioning of any auxiliary connections.
Replace the relevant parts in due time if there is any sign of wear for the coupling. Please refer
to the operation instruction of couplings.
6.2.2 Bearing
Regularly check and fill grease lubrication.
Frequency of lubrication depends upon operating conditions and environment, therefore,
lubrication intervals must be determined by experience. Table I may be used as a general guide for
grease re-lubrication. Lubricants need replacing only because of contamination by dirt or dust,
metal particles, moisture or high temperature breakdown. A small amount of grease may be
added about every 400 hours of operation. The bearing housing should be about 1/3 full of
grease.
Grease Re-lubrication: (pumps are shipped with grease in bearing housings)
◆Thoroughly clean grease fitting and outside of bearing housing.
◆Remove drain plug.
◆Inject clean, new grease forcing out the old.
◆Start and run the pump for a short time to eject any excess grease.
◆Wipe off all excess grease and replace drain plug.
WARNING !!! Proper lubrication is essential to the pump operation. Do not operate the pump
if sufficient lubricant is not present in the bearing housing of if lubricant is contaminated with
excessive dirt or moisture. Operation of the unit under these conditions will lead to impaired pump

－11－
performance, and possible bearing failure. Do not operate the pump with excessive amount of
lubricant. Such action will cause bearings to overheat.

6.2.3 Stuffing Box
The purpose of a stuffing box is to limit or eliminate leakage of the pump fluid and to prevent
air from entering the suction spaces along the pump shaft. Pumps are equipped with packing
(limited leakage). Normally, the pumped liquid is used to lubricate the stuffing box seal. If the liquid
is dirty, gritty, or contains material that would gum or jam the seal, use a sealing liquid from an
external source. If suction pressure is above atmospheric pressure, seal piping may not be required.
For pumps equipped with packing, there must always be a slight leakage from the glands. The
amount of leakage is hard to define, but we recommend a steady dripping of liquid through the
gland. Stuffing box glands should be adjusted after the pump is started. When leakage is excessive,
tighten gland bolts evenly a little at a time. Allow an interval for packing to adjust to new position.
Never tighten gland to be leak-proof, as this will cause overheating and undue wear on shaft
sleeves.
Replace stuffing box packing as follows:
◆Shutdown the pump.
◆Take precautions to prevent the driver from being inadvertently started.
◆Remove the gland bolt nuts and gland.
◆Remove and discard old packing rings – note location of lantern ring. When repacking
stuffing box, lantern ring must be positioned such that the water seal connection is opposite lantern
ring.
◆Clean out the stuffing box.
◆Inspect shaft sleeve for wear – if it is scored or grooved, it should be replaced.
◆Insert rings of packing and tap lightly to seat against bushing. Be sure rings are of the proper
size and length and installed with cuts staggered. Lantern ring must be installed opposite sealing
water connection.
◆Install gland and tighten, finger tight. With the pump running, adjust gland as described
previously. Care should be taken during the first hour of operation to take up on the packing
gradually just enough to maintain the required amount of leakage.
6.2.4 Wearing Clearance
Running fits between wear rings is given under the pump specifications. When these
clearances are doubled, or the capacity of the pump is reduced by 5 to 10%, the rings should be
renewed. Clearances should be checked periodically and whenever the pump casing is opened.
Check with feeler gauge or by direct measurement. Measure ID of case ring and OD of impeller ring,
then compute clearance (ID minus OD).
6.3 Disassemble
Whenever any disassemble work is to be done on the pump, disconnect the power source to
the driver to eliminate any possibility of starting. Close the shut-off valves in the suction line and
discharge line. Allow the pump set to the ambient temperature. Darin the pump and release the
pump pressure.For disassemble and re-assemble work must observe the relevant drawings.
6.3.1 General instruction and advice
Always have repair work and maintenance work performed by specially trained, qualified
personnel. Operate with the original parts supplied from the factory.
For any work on the motor, observe the instructions of the relevant motor manufacturer.
For disassemble and re-assemble work and sequence must observe the relevant general
assembly drawings in the attached.In case of damage you can always contact NMFIRE service.

－13－
6.3.2 Pump Disassemble
No special tools are required to remove the coupling. Please refer to the instructions on the
coupling.Here is the disassemble sequence to the gland packing and diaphragm coupling.For other
options of installation, please refer to the structural drawing accordingly.
When disassembled in the following sequence, the design of this pump does not require
moving the suction and discharge pipes or aligning the level of pump.
Prior to disassemble, shutdown the pump and interrupt the power supply to secure the pump
against unintentional start-up. Close the suction and discharge valve, and open the drainage plug to
drain out fluid in the pump.
To disassemble the pump casing and rotor:
◆Remove the coupling guard（600.09）and disconnect coupling halves between pump
coupling（934.01）and motor coupling（934.02）.
◆Remove any pipeline（700.00）and equipment on the pump.
◆Remove bolting from the bearing cover（200.61） and the bearing bracket（200.60、

6.4 Assembly
Assembly is the reverse of the disassemble procedure. Connecting every part
please refer to the general assembly drawing of pumps. Here is the assemble sequence to the gland
packing and diaphragm coupling.For other options of installation, please refer to the structural
drawing accordingly.
Installation and removal of bearing, pump seal ring I and other components must be
performed in accordance with mechanical engineering regulations and as specified in this manual.
Proper tightening torque and nut locking tools are necessary, and the relevant parts are
detailed in the general assembly drawing and parts catalogue.Please refer to ZN192 standard or
other specified standard for necessary tightening torque.
The marking of locking nut and sealing fittings shall be in accordance with BN33 standard.
All parts, inside and outside, should be clean.O-ring and the gasket at the open casing should
be replaced.Dirt and grit will cause excessive wear, place needless shutdown.
When installing the rotor, the position of the pump shaft must be accurate and firm, and the
threaded and sliding parts must be clean and coated with lubricant.

Assemble Rotor element

◆Install the key （914.02）which fixed the
impeller on the pump shaft（003.01）.
◆Install the impeller（003.02）and casing seal
ring I（500.01）.Pump rotation should be paid
attention.
◆Install the seal element: stuffing box
bushing （ 401.02 ） ,gland packing
（ 919.00 ） ,gland packing ring
（401.04）,gland packing cap（401.01）,o
ring （ 916.41 ） ,spacer sleeve
（401.03）,sleeve nut（401.04）.
◆Install the bearing assembly at the drive
end: the bearing cover（200.61）of the lip seal
（917.21）, bearing baffle ring（200.62）, bearing（927.00）.
◆Install the bearing assembly at the non-drive end: the bearing cover（200.61）of the lip seal
（917.21）, bearing baffle ring（200.62）, bearing（927.00）,round nut lock washer（905.42）and
round nut（905.41）.
When the bearing is installed, it is necessary to heat the deep groove ball bearing and install it
on the shaft. One-way pressure must be avoided, such as hammering the outer ring of the bearing.
After installing the rotor, place it smoothly in the pump shell, align the rotor and install the
locating pin on the pump body, and check the rotation direction of the rotor. The diagram shows the
method of correct installation.
Install the front bearing（200.60）and rear bearing（200.63）, tighten the bolting between the
bearing and pump casing evenly.
Install the bearing cover （200.61）of two ends, rotate by hand to insure the rotor work
smoothly.

 Prior to install the upper casing（002.00）, place split case seal gasket（935.00） on the
connecting face between pump bracket and upper casing.
Tighten the bolts (902.02) and nuts (905.03) on the pump casing from the first to the last in
the numeric order indicated by the bolts on the diagram.
