7. Operation
Operation after installation or
reassembly must be carried out in the
following order :
7.1 Preparation before operation
a. Open the air vent valve on top of the
casing and fill the casing with water until it
comes out of the vent.
b. In case of the reservoir-type self-priming
pump (Model EHS and TMS type), fill the
casing with water by removing the plug on
top of the casing.
However, after the first starting there is no
need of pouring if water remains in the
casing.
c. In case of the self-priming pump with a
vacuum pump, fill water into the supply
water tank.
d. Open fully the valve on the suction side
and close completely that on the discharge
side.
e. In case of the self-priming pump (Model
EHS type), open a slightly the valve on the
discharge side in order to discharge the
separated air without close completely its
valve.
f. Be sure of bearing lubricant.
g. Turn the pump shaft by hand to see
whether it turns smoothly.
4
7.2 Operation
a. Start motor, but firstly ON and OFF should
be repeated once or twice to confirm that
there's no abnormal condition, when
operating the pump.
b. When pump revolutions and pressure have
risen, open gradually the valve on the
discharge side until the pressure drops
down to the specified pressure.
c. Avoid absolutely dry operation, especially
be careful when a mechanical seal is used.
Even though a vacuum pump is provided,
stop the pump if self-priming (Model EHS
type) is not effected with in 5 minutes.
d. The bearing for pump and motor of stand-
by pump or pump that is not operated for
long time will be caused a fretting
phenomenon by the vibration so that there
is need to hand turning of pump once per a
week. If there is stand-by pump, there is
need changeover operation of pumps about
once per two (2) weeks.
7.3 Stopping
a. Close the valve on the discharge side.
b. Stop the motor.
c. When the pump stops suddenly during
operation, turn off the switch first and then
close the valve on the discharge side.

If the bearing case can be felt by hand
safely there is no fear, otherwise, install a
thermometer to measure the temperature.
Keep the permissible bearing temperature
at "ambient temperature plus 40℃ or liquid
temperature plus 20℃"
d. Since excessive greasing can result in
overheat, grease up while operation by
taking off the exhaust plug This, however,
does not apply where greased bearings are
used.
e. Be sure to keep small amount of
continuous leakage through the gland,
which must be in the form of drops. Too
much tightening of the packing will cause
premature wear of the shaft and
overheating. (See par.9.5)
f. When a mechanical seal is used, there is
almost no leakage, so if continuous
leakage occurs, trace it cause.
g. Never throttle the valve on the suction
side. Adjust the flow by means of the valve
on the discharge side.
h. Never operate the pump continuously
with the valve closed on the discharge
side, otherwise the rise of the water
temperature in the casing will cause
seizure.
i. See whether the stand by pump is
reversing due to the leakage of it non-
return valve.
j. In the case of a pump with automatic
starting and stopping device, such as
hydrophor system pay attention to the
pressure at the time of starting, and if the
cycle is too much, take measures such as
adjustment of air amount, level, etc.

9.2 Overhaul
When overhauling the pump attention
must be paid as follows :
a. Understand the construction well by
referring to the assembly drawing and
make no mistake in the order of overhaul.
b. When separating sockets and parting
faces, use push bolts and wooden
hammers, and never apply force with chisel
and drivers.
c. When removing the rotating element, take
care to avoid damage on sliding faces and
machined surfaces.
Particularly, never damage mechanical seal
mating faces.
d. When removing rotating parts from the
shaft, draw off each one carefully after
removing anti-rotation device.
e. Long parts such as shaft should be
handled carefully so that it may not bend.
f. Handle parts carefully, arranging them on
sheets of paper or cloth in good order.
g. At overhauling, put suitable marks as much
as possible to avoid mistakes when
reassembling.
9.3 Checkup
Measure each sliding part and take
steps according to manufacturer's standard.
9.4 Assembly
Carry out assembly, reversing the order
of disassembly and paying attention as
follows :
a. Remove dust and stain from each part by
washing it thoroughly with kerosene. Repair
it if damage is found.
b. Fit anti-rotation device perfectly in each
rotating part if necessary.
c. When fitting parts with match marks, be
sure to follow them.
d. Install the mechanical seal carefully and
confirm its movement by hand after
installation.
e. Insert each packing rings in good order
softly one by one from the bottom,
staggering each joint by 90°or 180°.
(Refer to 9.5)
f. Check the center of shaft (see Item 6).
g. Turn the shaft by hand to see whether it
turns smoothly.
h. Check that the amount of lubricant is
appropriate. As for the amount, refer to the
lubricant list in "Specification of Supply".

9.5 Other Instructions
a. Gland Packing
a-1 Assembling Instructions (Division
Tightening)
(1) Set the cut end of packing to fit in,
and check if it is inserted smoothly by
hand while stretching its back.
(2) Insert one packing first to the extent
of depth, and set the old packing
instead of tools, and tighten them by
the nut on gland.
(3) Insert another packing and tighten it in
the same manner as above (to such
an extent that the shaft can turn by
hand.
・Full compression of packings on inner
side will make the sealing effect
better and prevent two or more
packings from turning at one time, so
that no bearing resulting from coerce
tightening will be applied on the
packing. Also, in general, tightening
of the packings by using the gland will
make the inner packings within the
packing box have lower shaft bearings,
in which case, therefore, a tightening
force tends to be ineffective. Such
being the case, the packings at the
inner part should be compressed
sufficiently when they are inserted.
・The cut end of each packing should
not be located at the same point, but
should be apart by 120 degrees.
(4) Then, insert the air side packing
carefully, and tighten the gland nut by
hand together (finger tight).
・Take care not to tighten the gland
one-sidedly and also not to have it in
contact with the shaft.
(5) Operate the pump for an initial run (30
min.) while paying attention to any
irregularity, e.g. leak from the gland,
generation of heat or sound. Then,
tighten the nut little by little for a
proper leak amount. When the
operation has become stable, take
care for the gland nut not to become
loose.

For: TMS-40A, 50B(4P), 65B(4P), 80B
(1) Pull out the pump shaft into the motor
side, and take measurement of A by
means of depth gage.
(2) Check the movement value by pushing
the motor shaft into the fan cover.
(Generally, it ranges from 1.0 to 1.5
mm.)
(3) After mounting the rigid coupling on the
motor shaft, take measurement of the
distance between the flange face of
motor and the end of coupling, where it
is pushed toward the fan cover fully, and
adjust it to be A＋0.6 to 0.7 mm.
Then, fix it with a hexagon head cap
screw securely. (At this time, the
clearance between the back of impeller
and the casing cover should be 0.6 to
0.7 mm.)
[Note] If this setting is failed, the back of
impeller and casing cover will come in
contact with each other, which can be
cause of overload.
(4) Combine the pump with the motor. After
combining, check if they can turn

Coupling set jig
(1) Clean and degrease the surface of the
friction joint, the shaft, and the hub that
is coupled by using fabric.
(2) Insert the friction joint on to the pump
shaft and fix them with C-type retaining
ring.
(3) Insert the rotor unit into the
casing.(Refer to Fig.10)
At this time, be sure to move the
coupling set jig to under the friction
joint.
By doing this, rotation parts can be
installed on the proper position.
(4) Install the coupling at the motor shaft-
end. and connect the pump and the
motor.
(5) Rotate the pressure screw of the friction

(Refer to Fig.11) After the connection,
move the coupling set jig from under the Flange

friction joint to the outside and fix it.

(Refer to Fig. 9)
[Note]・Never tighten the pressure screw until Pressure screw Stopper
the friction joint is installed to the shaft
and the hub.
・When rotation the pressure screw to
clockwise (tightening), be sure to use a
torque wrench and maintain the torque
of 24N・m.
(6) Turn the shaft by hand to confirm if it
turns smoothly.
・Fricution joint structure
This friction joint is a double walled hardened steel
sleeve that filled with a pressure medium.
Pressurizing mechanism that consists of a screw
and piston with double sealing function is provided
at flange part. When the pressurizing screw is
tightened, double wall sleeve uniformly expands
against shaft and coupling and rigidly joint them.
Dismantling is done by loosing the pressurizing
screw that allows sleeve to back original dimension.
