GENERAL INFORMATIONS
The purpose of this manual is to facilitate the installation, the use and the maintenance of the TS series pumps.
These pumps, for their extreme reliability, durability, and ease of use, are commonly used in the marine field, par-
ticularly for bilge deckwash and fire-fighting service, liquids handling and engine cooling.

PUTTING INTO SERVICE (STARTING INSTRUCTIONS)
a) Reception check
Immediately after receiving the package, check the integrity, in case of damages control the pump has not suf-
fered damage. In any case, note the number printed on the name plate.

b) Installation
To place pump fasten casing at a suitable floor by bolts or studs and follow the instructions on TAB.1 (pag. 3) for
best self-priming performance.
Fill the pump with the liquid to be pumped up, connect the delivery (outlet) and sunction (inlet) pipes to the re-
spective ports (see TAB.3).

Make sure that stress on ports, caused by piping do not exceed safety values of TAB.2, in doubt
mount flexible joints, remember that long metallic pipes thermal dilatation, can produce damages at
pump.

The machine is intended to be installed by qualified personnel who are familiar with relevant
safety requirements. Safety equipment necessary for the prevention of accidents at the mount-
ing and operating site shall be provided in accordance with the regulations prevailing in the
local country.

c) Starting
Start the pump and verify sense of rotation, priming time depends on rotating speed, diameter and length of suc-
tion pipe.

If along delivery pipe check valves are mounted, pump cannot prime automatically.

Stopping pump, the empty of piping can suck again all liquid contained in pump casing. If this event occour mount
a check valve along suction pipe.

MAINTENANCE

Dismantling and assembly of machine must be carried out by qualified personnel using only suitable
tools and working methods; must wear protective gloves where required.

a) Routine maintenance

The pumps generally do not require routine maintenance, provided certain precautions are taken to prolong
the working period.

 If there is a danger of frost, you must to empty the pump of the liquid and then fill it before to bring into use
again the pump.
 Make sure that the pump does not work never without liquid.
 If the pump must remain inactive for an extended period, it is desirable to empty the body and clean the
pump.
 Where installed a foot valve and suction filter, periodically check their efficiency and cleanliness.

b) Replacing the impeller and mechanical seal

 Loosen the screws that fix the casing with the cover.
 Remove the cover.
 Remove the first disc.
 Loosen the impeller’s self-locking nut and then prising up the impeller from shaft with a suitable extractor,
using the special treated holes on impeller hub.

Sharp burrs may be in some parts of impeller, use always a strong gauntlet for this operation

 Remove the second disc. This operation may result difficult if the coupling surfaces are encrusted.
 Remove the key by suitable tooling.
 Extract manually rotating part of mechanical seal using two lever.
 Loosen the nuts that fix the casing with the bearing housing and beat lightly with a plastic hammer on the
same casing.
 Extract manually stationary part of mechanical seal by pressing from rear face of casing.

To re-assemble the pump perform the reverse procedure of disassembling, by substituting the O-ring. In any ca-
se, always refer to the sectional drawing of the pump.
If replacement of mechanical seal is necessary, clean carefully the annular seat on cover. To mount the new sta-
tionary part, moist gasket and seat with water or ethyl alchol and manually push to the bottom using a suitable tool
in plastic.

Not use grease, oil or solvents.

These substances can damage the rubber of the mechanical seal.

If you re-assemble the pump with a second-hand impeller (closed impeller) verify the wear grade of faced surfa-
ces. Axial clearance between discs and impeller must be small.
Dynamic sealing between high to low pressure zone is entrusted to this clearance.
Assembling clearance at factory is 0,25±0,05mm.
Pratically as far as 0,3mm small differences in H(Q) curve is osservable. When clearance excedes 0,5mm by-
pass of liquid from high to low pressure zone, became important and a notable lessening of performances is cau-
sed.
To restore axial clearance a turner, suitable tooling and measurement instruments are necessary. It can take off
material as far as 2mm from impeller, 1mm from discs without notable changes in performance.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING: POSSIBLE CAUSES AND REMEDIES

TROUBLE-SHOOTING CAUSE REMEDY

- The pump run without pumping - Clogged valve and filter - Clean valve and filter

- Excessive suction lift - Install pump at lower level

- Air in suction - Check the seal of the suction pipe

- The pump body was not filled - Fill the pump with liquid
at the first run

- Vibrations or noise during ope- - Back pressure too high or too - Adjust duty point
ration low

- Air in the plant - Remove air in the plant (vent)

- Insufficient pressure - Viscosity of the liquid greater - Check viscosity of the liquid
than that required

- Weared sealing rings - Overhaul the pump

- Required head of the plant - Change type of pump

greater than estimated
