Compliance with the operating instructions is of vital importance to ensure reliability and a long service life of the punp and to avoid any risks. The pump/unit must not be operated beyond the limit values specifiec| in the technical doumentation. Make sure that operation is in accordance with the instructions laid down this manual These operating instructions do not take into account local regulations;the operator must ensure that such regulations are strictly observed by all,including the personnel called in for installation Note: please quote this information in all queried, reorder and particularly when ordering spare parts. 1.1 Lifting Be carefully when lifting pump, motor or the entire unit. The hoisting ring of the motor is only for lifting motor not for entire pump unit; the hoisting ring of casing cover only for lifting casing cover also Pump Lifting Unit Lifting2, Installation (at site) 2.1 Foundation (1). The foundation should be firm and the surface should be smooth before mounting. They should be sufficiently to support 1.5 times weight of unit (including motor) . Gererally,reinforced concrete is used for foundation. (2). Before the frst time grouting, locate anchor bolts per outline drawing and the first time grouting check surface should locate under unit base plate 20mm-40mm to insure the second grouting. 2.2 Installation the pump/Unit Insert anchor bolt in screw hole of base plate, settle / \ / pump or unit on foundation, use leveling instrument toalign at end of shaft and discharge. Place shims between base plate and foundation adjacent to the anchor bolt. fac im plate Me Grouting anchor bolt after alignment, tighten bolt evenly when concrete firmed and realign, then grouting ‘Add a shim at anchor bolt if the distance of anchor bolts exceed 800mm. All the shims should level. (As shown in right diagram) AL ai base plate. The thickness of grout should submerge base plate more than 25mm. Note: Make sure grouting adequately and without cavity no matter the first or the second grouting, grouting should be continuously without pause. The qualities of grouting affect directly unit operation noisy and vibration, which are very hard to found and exclude 2.3 Aligning the pump and motor ttt Insure pump and motor align precisely at coupling. = j= Improper alignment of the unit can cause damage to = fo h Method: It is considered the unit alignment well if parallel misalignment and angular misalignment at both the coupling and the unit itself coupling less than 0.01mm. Check misalignment with a fecler gauge at coupling four points 90°C apart, indicator reading at all points should not exceed 0.01mm.2.4 Connecting the piping (1) Do not use pump as an anchorage point for the piping. The pipelines should be anchored in close proximity to the pump and showld be anchored without transmitting any stresses or strains otherwise it will cause pump vibration even piping breaking. (2) Suction lift lines should be laid with a rising slope towards the pump and suction head lines with a downward slope towards the pump (3) As for short piping, nominal diameter not less than pump suction nominal diameter. As for long piping, the most economic nominal diameter has to be determined otherwise it will cause cavitations. (4) When use elbows, the lenght of pump inlet and outlet at straight section should larger than diameter 5 to 10 times. (5) Thermal stress deformation caused by welding exterior pipe flange is the most commen causes of pump inlet and outlet piping breaking. Loose the bolt that connect the pump after welding, tighten until welding stress released. (6) Should fasten expansion joint after install pump, otherwise hydrostatic tension will lead to pump vibration, more seriously will drag the pump foundation, lead to serious accident. (7). The valid surface of strainer that is installed in the suction line should larger than area of section of pipe (8) Discharge piping should be installed with check valve and gate valve, with the check valve being between the pump and the gate valve. The check valve prevents pump damage from reverse flow and water hammer. (9) Auxiliary Piping Connection Mechanical seal should be flushed by clean liquid from an external source Note: This is the main reason of mechanical seal damage and failure. The parts with cool liquid nozzle should be cool properly Above cooling liquid and exterior rinse liquid provided in accordance with attached specification. Follow below instruction if without special version: The pressure of mechanical seal rinse liquid should higher than the suction pressure 0.1-0.2 MPa, capacity is 1-2m3/h. cooling liquid pressure is 0.3MPa, capacity is 1-2m3/h2.5 Coupling Guard Safety requirement: Only by installing guard the pump can operation. 2.6 Final Inspection (1) Check if the pump and motor are reliable: Slide coupling, rotate pump rotor over a circle, rotation should be evenly, without friction and evident mechanical noisy. (2) Confirm the direction of motor and pump is the same. Note: Do not try to check the motor direction after connected to pump. Even short reverse may lead to the parts damage in the future operation. 3, Starting, Operation, Shutdown and Storage Preservation Be sure to follow the below instructions to avoid of breakdown by infringing rules and regulations. 3.1 Inspection before starting Be sure to check the followings: (1) Insure pump plate fixed on foundation; (2) Insure coupling and pump unit alignment; (3) Insure piping connected by requirements; (4) Insure motor installed by Installation and operation instruction; (5) Insure the rotor of pump rotate easily (at least a circle) ; (6) Insure the coupling guard installed; (7) Insure the operator fully understand the safety specification that they should obey and the failures may be occurred; (8) Insure the shaft seal liquid or cooling liquid lead-in by requirements; (9) Insure the shaft seal installed by operation instruction; (10). Insure the auxiliary device installed by operation instruction (If they exist). ; (11) Insure the bearing have lubricated well, especially insure new pump grease or thin oil do not reduce or go bad; (12) Insure the air trapped in pump escaped.3.2 Shaft Seal Open valves properly for stuffing box seal 3.3 Air exhaust Pump and piping should fill of medium before starting, there are two methods: creation of vacuum or priming. If the pump operated on the suction state, exit gas by bolt hole on top of the pump casing. Not : When creation of vacuum, evacuate air by bolt hole on top of the pump casing. When priming, open both side low pressure volute chamber of pump casing and the top plug, to get rid of pump vibration by remained air in pump. 3.4 Starting (1) Close outlet valve; (2). Open inlet valve completely; (3) Open all auxiliary piping (cooling, heating, sealing, rinsing and lubricant liquid) , and check all capacity and pressure; (4) Starting pump after finishing above procedures; (5) When the system starting deliver medium and the pressure reading at pressure gauge rise up, open outlet valve slowly. Note: Forbid pump operating without liquid! Only close outlet valve when the pump start and shutdown, otherwise will damage the pump by overheating. 3.5 Operation (1) Confirm operating point According to Q-H performance curve of pump, capacity Q varies with the actual operation head. The head depended on the system head (including the altitude difference between inlet and outlet, piping, valves, NH NPSH NPSH, radiator and so on) . So the pump actually operating t point B depends on pump performance curve Q-H and t system performance curve Q-HA. Capacity(Q)Once capacity settled, the shaft power, efficiency, NPSH settled as well. Pump has limited working range. The minimum capacity are shown as Qmin in Q-H performance curve. Maximum capa ty are depended on the cross point of pump tolerance NPSH and system valid NPSHA. Adjust valve can change performance curve Q-HA of system, thereby adjust operation performance, makes pump operation stable and high efficiency. (2) Operation management Should pay attention to followings: a. Pump should work stably b. Forbid pump operating without liquid c. To prevent medium temperature rise up, pump can not be run long period when close outlet valve d. Generally, the bearing temperature not higher than 35C of ambient temperature, absolute operation temperature less than 100 e. Check oil level regularly if use thin oil. Deep groove ball bearing of grease lubrication no need routine maintenance. f. Do not close inlet valve (if it is exist) when pump operating. g. Periodical inspection and start jury pump h. Check auxiliary piping whether connected well i. Check elastic element of coupling, if worn replace immediately. j. For stuffing box seal there should have a slight drip when run J, push stuffing box gland gently until there is a slight drip (about 15-30 drop/min ) . For mechanical seal the seal leakage should reduce gradually. It is about 0-Sdrop/min after starting few hours. If the seal leakage increase gradually and reach about 30-60drop/min, should check or adjust mechanical seal.3.6 Shutdown Close discharge valve Insure the pump unit stop smoothly when shutdown the motor. Pump should have a proper after-running period, cut heat source at this time, so that the delivered medium can cool down completely and avoid of producing any heat inside pump. Close suction valve if pump stop work for a long period of time. Close auxiliary piping, the shaft seal should use seal lubricant even though at stopped state Evacuate all medium in pump and piping when freeze or stop work for a long-term, so as not to frost crack. 3.7 Storage Every pump has inspected strictly before delivery. Recommend to adopt following procedures to store pump. (1) Store new pump If store pump at indoor, clean dry place and follow the storage requirements, the longest storage time is 12 months. (2) If equipment is to be stored for long periods of time should follow below procedures. a. Pump should keep in installation state and inspect work condition regularly. Start pump once every month or every three months (about 5 minutes) . Check running condition before starting pump to insure there is enough liquid b. Dismantled pump from piping and check it according to section 5.1 to 5.4. Apply protective agent on inside pump casing especially the gap of the impeller, apply on suction and discharge, then cover the suction. c. Operation after storage Inspect and maintain completely before starting pump, especially shaft seal and bearing lubricant. Reinstall all safety protection devices according to requirement before starting4, Maintenance and Repair 4.1 Maintenance (1) General Stipulations Insure all the maintenance, inspection and installation carry out by a professional who is assigned, qualified and very familiar with this operation manual The periodical maintenance plan can get rid of expensive maintenance cost, work failure and make pump safety operation at very low maintenance cost. All above should perform at power off, in case the pump start suddenly Sterilize after delivery liquid which harmful to health. Only evacuate medium completely there is no harm for environment and human. The related rules must follow meanwhile. (2) Beating Lubrication Grease lubrication bearing be refilled grease every threes months. Replace grease at least two years. We recommend molybdic sulfide lithium soap base grease as lubricant (can use more high-grade grease lubrication, such as composite lithium soap base grease etc.) ; Bearing must be dismantled when replace grease every time. Use gas or similar oil to clean bearing, bearing house, bearing gland and wipe up. Fill 1/2-2/3 grease at ball bearing and cylindrical roller bearing, normally use oil gun to fill oil through the nozzle on the top of bearing house Thin oil lubrication bearing the first time lubricant replacement must carry out after a month operation, the second replacement at four months later, than replacement every six months, at the same time check the quality and level of oil regularly, replace and refill in time. We recommend N46 mechanical oil or 30# turbine oil as lubricant, oil level should be at the required range of oil gauge. Slide bearing use medium or outside water source as a lubricant. In order to make sure lubricant piping unblocked and prevent bearing from blocking, must clean bearing after running 8000 hours or less than two yours. 10(3). Shaft Seal Maintenance Replace or install stuffing before starting, if shutdown for a long time or shaft seal stuffing leak a lot. There is a little drip at stuffing box when running, push stuffing gently and evenly, otherwise the shaft sleeve will heat and wear Mechanical seal: No need specially maintain for mechanical seal, check whether it heat every day. If mechanical seal leakage evidently, should dismantle to check, and replace if necessary 4.2. Repair (1). Repair Items a. Minor Repair Push stuffing or check mechanical seal Check bearing, adjust gap or align coupling concentricity Check and repair defects, tighten fasteners Clean and repair the indicator of oil level, clean cooling liquid and lubricant system b. Major Repair All minor repairs Dismantle to check wear intensity of all parts, the extent of ablation, and repair Check and adjust the curved shaft Align rotor Check the balance of rotor if necessary Check and repair the bearing, replace if necessary Check the clearance of seal ring and seal parts Measure and adjust the levelness of pump Check pressure gauge Replace lubricant (2). Dismantle No need to remove inlet and outlet piping, dismantle the entire rotor element by removing casing cover only, that does not affect pump adjustment. The pump structure varies with the type, dismantle according to product type and equivalent structure diagram aLSectional View 1 Bs 1S 16 1 [eine 7 [eaigca 2 ear 1 [oper 5 [Dewnavetatiowis | [14 [tebe 7 [ek wn 15 [Slow 5 [deen ata 16 [stein « 17 | wn z 18 | cd ping c 19 [Patina ® [teksts | [20 |aewintine wo [cent 2 [su 11 [tin Suitable for following types: GSP80-210\GSP80-270\GSP80-370\GSP100-200\GSP100-250\GSP100-310\GSP100-375\GSP1 25-230\GSP125-290\GSP125-365\GSP125-500\GSP150-290\GSP150-360\GSP150-450\GSP15 0-605\GSP200-320\GSP200-420\GSP200-520\GSP200-670\GSP250-370\GSP250-480\GSP250 -600\GSP250-800\GSP300-300\GSP300-435\GSP300-560\GSP300-700\GSP350-360\GSP350- 430\GSP350-510\GSP350-575\GSP350-630\GSP350-690\GSP400-525\GSP400-665\GSP400-7 05\GSP400-935\GSP500-585\GSP500-685\GSP500-835\GSP500-870\GSP500-1015\GSP500-1 050\GSP600-600\GSP600-705\GSP600-1075\GSP700-980 12 7 18 19, 20 21Dismantle procedures: a) (Q) liquid, (@) (4) () (6) (7) screw (8) Power off; Close inlet and outlet valve, open drain plug and bleed screw, evacuate water and Remove auxiliaries piping; Remove coupling guard; Loose the fastener between pump coupling and motor coupling: Loose and push out shaft seal gland; Loose connecting bolt between pump casing and pump cover, jack-up pump cover by and lift it, check inside of pump; Release oil if use thin oil, loose connecting bolt between bearing support and bearing house, loose connecting bolt and nut of slave drive bearing end cover; (9) (10) a) (2) (13) aa) as) (16) a7) wheel (18) (19) (20) (21) Withdraw bearing house from flute, lift rotor from pump chamber; Remove bearing house of slave drive bearing; Loose and remove round nut; Remove deep groove ball bearing and shaft sleeve from shaft; Remove bearing cover; Remove skeleton oil seal from shaft sleeve; Remove seal house; Remove shaft sleeve; Impeller and shaft is clearance fit, so remove impeller is quite ca: difficulty, hit boss by wood hammer; Remove another shaft sleeve, include seal house and shaft seal; Remove pump coupling; Remove bearing house; Loose elastic deflector, withdraw deep groove ball bearing 13Scetional View 2 i Mey no > [rage 2 [ag 10 [Pkg lend 3 [inet 11 [towing 4 |Seatine 12 [Sta 5 |Safileve 13 [Wor faa [ating 14 [Sats 7 [Pang 15 [Nias © [Wer eaiog ae 16 [Salad Suitable for following types: GSP400-560\GSP400-600\GSP500-520\GSP500-650\GSP500-710\GSP500-800\GSP500-860\, GSP500-860\GSP600-560\GSP600-630\GSP600-7 10\GSP600-860\700-600\GSP700-7 1 0\GSP 700-800\G5SP800-800\800-900\GSP900-970\GSP900-1030\GSP900-1050\GSP1000-1170 uDismantle procedures: qd) Q) liquid; (@) (4) (5) (6) (7) Power off; Close inlet and outlet valve, open drain plug and bleed screw, evacuate water and Remove auxiliaries piping; Remove coupling guard; Loose the fastener between pump coupling and motor coupling; Loose and push out shaft seal gland; Loose connecting bolt between pump casing and pump cover, jack-up pump cover by screw and lift it, check inside of pump; (8) Release oil if use thin oil, loose connecting bolt between bearing support and bearing house.

If remove shaft sleeve too difficult and do not want to reuse it, can cut it following below measure: drill a row of small holes on shaft sleeve, the holes away at least 1mm from shaft surface, cut along the holes by steel file, the shaft sleeve can be remove. aAssembly: Assembly can be carried out in the reverse of the dismantle procedure 1. Clean all matching surface, insure no rust or stickiness, and repair all roughness and deformation caused by dismantle. 2. Replace all seal pad and o-ring Seal surface adopt seal gum or seal pad decided by pump design The edge of seal pad must be even with the inwall of pump passageway and the edge of processing position The o-ring is easy cut when installation, thus lead to seal failure, so must choose proper size o-ring and carefully assemble 3. Clean bearing house and bearing carefully, insure no remnant lubricant and precipitate Replace required lubricant; the amount of adding thin oil in accordance with scale of oil gauge, too much or so little will affect pump operation 4, Replace packing Choose the amount and type of packing. Cut and install by following diagram My Cl Citi sectional view of packing packing assembly drowing 5. Wipe up seal chamber and shaft sleeve. Check, if the surface of shaft sleeve rough or scored, replace. Install packing to seal house in order and press gland. Cut packing along 120 degree angle. Make sure the position of packing ring against outlet of water seal. Tighten gland evenly until can not screw by hand 6. Clean all matching surface, screw thread and clearance fit, apply mounting adhesive. 187. Bearing mounting required by heating. If mounting by hammer, make sure to hit the matching position of bearing. Mounting cylindrical roller bearing, put inner ring of bearing on shaft or shaft sleeve and outer ring on bearing house. Insure the end face of both rings at the same plane 8. As for mechanical seal, coupling mounting required by heating to avoid damage mechanical seal 9. Tightening torque should meet related standards and preserve uniformity, if without other illustration 10. Reinstall impeller with vanes in the right direction, otherwise will cause very small water discharge or very low discharge pressure 1. Check the matching position of pump and bearing house after installation, to insure there is no clearance 12. Beware the difference of both bearing end cover, make sure the check end face of slave drive bearing end cover contact with outer ring of bearing, and play the role of axial locating 13. Insure center split seal pad clean and flat. Especially mounting mechanical seal, insure shaft seal position and seal chamber position contact well with seal face of end cover, any clearance may cause seal failure. 14. For some products, centering of impeller and passageway insured by design and manufacture, but some can center by adjusting shaft sleeve nut, tighten shaft sleeve nut after adjusting Inspection Rotate coupling by hand after mounting, the rotor should be smooth and even without evident grating noisy. 195, Storage and Interchangeability of Parts 5.1 Instruction The information which is given on the manufatuer's nameplate is required for ordering The parts name should be provided wher ordering spare parts 5.2 Two Years Parts Storage Recommend Number of pumps including stand-by pumps ) Pat No ription| 2 3 | 4 [so =10 number o 1 Impeller 1 1 1 | 2]2 [3 | som 2 a]4f]4f[6f[s6 | s | som 3 1 1 2] 2]2 4 2/2/44] s | 100% 5 4 {4/4 |o6]6] & | su 6 pock 2 | a2 | as | as | as | ot | 40% 7 nechanicalseal] 4 | 6 | 8 | 8 | 9 | 12 | 150% Note: Included the spare parts quantity that need replaced several times. 6, Trouble-shooting 6.1 General The following diagram and tables are easy to understand the cause of fault and measures of elimination.
