General Precautions Prior to Starting Pump

1. Level pump to ensure proper lubrication during operation.
2. Verify that the pump crankcase has been filled with the proper amount of
lubricant.
3. Verify that packing has been properly installed in the pump and is properly
tightened.
4. Tighten all studs. nuts. and cap screws to the recommended torque values.
5. Squirt light oi] or other lubricant on the piston rods and rotate pump by hand
to verify free rotation.
6. When force-feed lubrication is used, verify that the lubricator is filled and is
operating properly.
7. Flush all suction lines leading to the pump. This will help protect valves and
seats from damage.
8. For piston and packing protection, always prime pump. This is a positive
displacement pump and is not intended to operate dry. This pump is
designed to operate in a cavitation — free system.
9. Verify that all valves in the discharge piping are open.
Wheatley GASO Piston Pump - Power End
LUBRICATION:
Gears, connecting rod bearings and crossheads in all geared piston type pumps are
lubricated by splash from lubricant in the crankcase. Crankshaft bearings and
pinion shaft bearings in Series 1800, 1500, 1600. 1700. 1900, and 2600 pumps are
also lubricated from this same crankcase oil by splash. Shaft bearings in Series
1550-C. 1654-C. 2000 and 2200 pumps and in pumps with serial numbers 24523
and below are sealed off irom the crankcase lubricant by oil seals and run in a
separate bath of oil retained in the respective bearing housing.
WARNING:
3
The crankcase is drained after factory testing. Remove the crankcase cover or
crosshead guide hand hole cover and fill with sufficient lubricant before starting the
pump for the first time.
CRANKCASE OIL:
Quantity and type of lubricant required to fill crankcase to the proper level is shown
below.
For herringbone gear driven pumps operating in average climates, use SAE 90EP,
AGMA 5EP, OR AGMA 6EP gear lubricants. Be sure. however. to use an EP lubricant
that will not have a corrosive action on bronze and that contains rust, oxidation,
and foam inhibitors. Multi-purpose multi-viscosity gear lubricants are
UNSATISFACTORY for use in Gaso pumps. For chain and sprocket driven pumps use
a SAE 30 high grade mineral oil or AGMA 3EP in the crankcase.
For worm driven pumps, use a SAE 140EP gear lubricant.
Running temperature of crankcase oil should not exceed 180° F. If higher
temperatures occur and mechanical fits are found to be correct the use of a
separate oil cooler is recommended. For low ambient temperatures, select an oil
with a pour point lower than the lowest anticipated ambient temperature. Consult
Wheatley Gaso factory for recommendations when unusual operating conditions
exist.

As soon as the correct lubricant has been added, replace the crankcase cover and
install breather(s) on top to provide for positive ventilation.

These pumps are equipped with inner oil seals on the pinion shaft and crankshaft.
Therefore, they run in a separate bath of SAE EP 90 Gear Lubricant. AGMA EP 5
Gear Lubricant, or SAE 50 high grade motor oil or mineral oil. The bearing housings
are properly filled before leaving the factory: however. a check should be made to
see that none has leaked out or been removed. Proper oil level is even with pipe
plug in the lower part of the bearing housing flange or cover plate.
Inspection should be made regularly to determine if any loss has occurred by
leakage past the oil seals. If necessary, add oil through a plugged hole in the top of
the bearing housing flange. Do not fill above “oil level” as too much oil will churn
and create excessive heat. Remove cover plates, flush with kerosene, inspect
bearings. and refill with clean oil at least once every six months.
Normal running temperature is 140° to 160° F with a maximum of 180° F.

Pumps with herringbone gears. Serial No. above 24523 do not have inner oil seals
installed for the pinion and crankshaft bearings as standard equipment; however,
your pump may have these seals installed as special equipment. If your pump has
inner oil seals installed, the amount of oil required for the crankcase is as
follows:
PUMP SERIES 1800 2200 1500 2000 1600 1700 1900 2600
U.S. GALLONS 2-1/2 5 6 10 8 10 15 18
DAILY INSPECTION OF OIL IN CRANKCASE:

Check oil level and appearance daily. Change oil and clean breather every six
months or 2000 hours run time. more often under severe operating conditions. The
crankcase should be thoroughly cleaned at each oil change. Contamination of oil by
saltwater will be indicated by the oil turning white, milky, or foamy. Contamination
of the oil by moisture condensation will be indicated by the oil slowly turning dark
or a rusty brown. Whenever any type of contamination or dilution is detected, drain
the crankcase. remove the crankcase cover and crosshead guide handhole cover,
5
thoroughly flush out the oil and refill with clean oil to the dipstick full mark. Do not
overfill. At the same time. check and clean the breather. Oil lost by leakage should
be replaced before the level becomes too low. If leakage is excessive, check the
packing in the crankcase stuffing boxes, the oil seals on the pinion shaft. and clean
the crankcase breather. Replace any shaft seals that are damaged or worn. Some
pumps have replaceable wear sleeves on the pinion shaft that should be replaced if
grooved.
CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS, CRANK END:

Inspect connecting rod bearings and adjust as necessary every six months or when
crankcase lubricant is changed. The bearings in the crank end are babbitt lined
steel shells, adjustable for wear by removing shims and easily replaced when
completely worn. These bearings should be watched closely and adjusted to
compensate for wear. You will note that shims do not completely fill the outer gap
between rod and cap although the connecting rod bolts are tight. This is because
the faces of the shell bearings project slightly beyond the faces of the rod and cap
and the shims are gripped only between the faces of the bearing halves. Do not try
to close this outer gap by tightening the connecting rod bolt as it will overload
the bolts and could distort the cap causing premature bearing failure.
To check for wear, place a wrench on the top connecting rod bolt and shake the rod
parallel to the crankshaft. (The pressure must be relieved from the liquid end of the
pump so that the pump’s mechanism is free to move.) If the rod bearing moves
without resistance, the bearing may be too loose and need adjusting. If the bearing
does need adjusting, remove shims until you cannot shake the rod, then add 0.005”
shims one at a time until there is a little side movement. Be sure to torque rod
bolts nuts to proper value for each adjustment. (NOTE: If you are making this
adjustment after having had the crossheads out, be sure that the oil holes in
the rod are pointing up. The “up” side indicated by matching numbers
stamped on the cap and rod at the split between them. These numbers
should be the same on each rod and should be on the top side of the
crankshaft.) Turn the shaft by hand and if there are any hard drag or tight spots in
the bearing. add another 0.005” shim. After this bearing is properly adjusted.
loosen the bolts a few turns and repeat the above operation on the other bearings.
After all bearings have been adjusted. properly torque all connecting rod bolt nuts.
Again, turn the pump by hand to check for excessive drag and tight spots. If none.
the pump should be ready for operation.
6
If the pump cannot be rotated by hand due to the drive being enclosed. the
bearings may be completely adjusted by shaking the bearing on the shaft as stated
above. Care must be taken not to over tighten the bearings since they cannot be
checked by rotating the pump. When bearings are adjusted by this method. they
must be watched carefully for overheating when the pump is put into operation.
Alternatively, plastic gauge strips, found in most parts stores, may be used to adjust
these bearings.
It is usually better to have a bearing a little too loose than too tight. A slightly loose
bearing will cause very little trouble because of the slow operating speeds of the
pump. but a tight bearing will overheat and the babbitt may melt or pull. With
experience, an operator can tell by feel when the bearings are properly adjusted.
Normal precautions must be taken to ensure cleanliness of parts upon their
assembly. All wrenches used in adjusting these bearings are standard wrenches.

CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS, CROSSHEAD END:

Bearings in the crosshead end are bronze bushings. To replace these bushings.
remove connecting rod and crosshead assembly from pump. Press out the
crosshead pin. and remove and replace the bushing. After a new bushing has been
pressed into the connecting rod it should be reamed for a loose fit on the
crosshead pin as follows:
PUMP MODEL SERIES DISTANCE CLEARANCE (IN)
1800 0.002” — 0.005”
1600 0.003” — 0.006”

8
1700 0.003” — 0.006"
2600 0.004” — 0.007”
Before replacing a crosshead pin, always inspect the pin and crosshead for
excessive wear and any damage. Use a press and install pins using an
anti-seize compound as lubricant.
CRANKSHAFT BEARINGS:
Crankshaft bearings are single tapered roller bearings and are splash
lubricated from oil in the crankcase. These should be flushed clean. carefully
inspected, and adjusted as necessary. Once every 6 months. or when
changing crankcase lubricant is a good time.
Crankcase bearings for Series 1800. 1500. 1600, and 1700 pumps should
have an end play in the crankshaft of:
● 0.001” to 0.003” for 1800 Series pumps
● 0.002” to 0.004” for 1590 and 1600 Series pumps
● 0.003” to 0.005” for 1700 Series pumps
This end play is measured when the pump is cold to allow for expansion due to
heat under operating conditions.
Bearings may be adjusted from one side only. To adjust bearings for end play,
disconnect connecting rods. remove several shims (more than necessary) from
under the bearing housing, and retighten crankshaft bearing housing until bearings
bind slightly when the shaft is rotated by hand. With a feeler gauge measure the
shim gap and add its equivalent plus from 0.001” to 0.003” of shim (for normal
clearance) before torquing crankshaft bearing housing cap screws.
Crankshaft bearings for series 2600 pumps have a 0.012” to 0.013” preload. To get
this preload, try different thickness’ of shims until a slight drag is felt while rolling
the shaft and then remove 0.012” to 0.013” of shims.
When necessary to install new bearing cones on the crankshaft, heat them in oil at
280° F. for easy installation. Be sure they are firmly against the shoulder on the
crankshaft.
9
Please note: Improper application of heat to these bearings during their

installation will automatically revoke the warranty. It is suggested that the
procedures outlined above be closely followed when changing bearings.
PINION SHAFT BEARINGS:

The pinion shaft bearings are self contained ball or roller bearings and have no
adjustment for wear. Their load ratings are far above the applied load and will
therefore have very little wear if properly lubricated.
GEARS:
The two principal types of gears used in Wheatley Gaso piston pumps are
herringbone gears and worm gears.
The herringbone gears are continuous tooth Sykes designs. The pinion gear is alloy
steel and keyed to the pinion shaft. The main gear is a high grade semi-steel or
ductile iron casting, with internal flange for bolting to the crankshaft with cap screw.
Meshing of the herringbone gears provides the principal method of lubrication for
the pinion and crankshaft bearings. Therefore. The pinion must be turning in the
direction specified on the power frame casting and the gears must be meshing so
the center part of the gear teeth come together first.
Although pumps may run backwards without adversely affecting operation, always
run them faster than 75 strokes per minute or install an optional low speed
lubrication kit.
In worm driven pumps. the main or ring gear, is a special nickel alloy bronze with
internal flange for bolting to the center disc of the crankshaft. The driving worm
and shaft is one piece of chrome nickel steel. hardened and ground. The worm and
shaft is removable through the end of the worm case toward the liquid end of the
pump. but it will first be necessary to remove the flexible coupling. stuffing box, and
thrust bearing jam nut from the other end of the shaft. The thrust bearings will
slide off when the shaft is withdrawn.
To remove the crankshaft and main gear. take out cap screws holding the oil
reservoir half rings to the inner end of the main bearing housings. remove bearing
housing clamps and pull the main bearing housings outward until free of the
10
bearings. Lift out the crankshaft and gear assembly. Support the crankshaft and
gear assembly with a block or hoist before removing the bearing housings.
SPROCKETS:
Series 1530-C and 1654-C pumps use quadruple row internal sprockets with
specially made heavy duty quadruple row chain. The driving pinion shafi and
sprocket is one piece with “Nitride” Hardened sprocket teeth. The main sprocket is
of alloy steel, with internal flange for bolting to the center disc of the crankshaft. To
remove the crankshaft and main sprocket. pull the master link from the chain,
remove cap screws holding oil seal rings to the inner end of main bearing housings,
remove bearing housing clamps and pull main bearing housings outward. until free
of bearings. Lift out crankshaft and gear assembly. Support crankshaft and sprocket
assembly with a block or hoist before removing the bearing housing.
PISTON ROD STUFFING BOXES AND PACKING:

The piston rod stuffing boxes in the power end of the pump are packed at the
factory. The purpose of this packing is to wipe the piston rod clean and prevent
contamination of lubricant in the
crankcase and also to prevent loss of oil from the crankcase. Adjust this packing by
evenly tightening the packing gland cap screws until leakage is minimized.
Over a period of time. beginning May. 1978, all liquid end bodies for Duplex Piston
Pumps were graduallv redesigned to accept an O-ring mounted in a bevel at the
opening of the valve covers, cylinder heads and stuffing boxes. This redesign
allowed the flange of the valve cover, cylinder head, or stuffing box to fit
metal-to-metal with the liquid body. Prior to this redesign most of these liquid ends
were counter-bored to accept a flat gasket which caused a gap between the flanges
of the valve covers. cylinder head. or stuffing boxes and the liquid end. BEFORE
YOU REPAIR YOUR PUMP, MAKE A VISUAL CHECK TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF VALVE
COVERS, CYLINDER HEADS, AND STUFFING BOXES ARE ON THE PUMP. The list of
serial numbers below will serve as a general guide to the first pumps fitted with
O-rings. There are exceptions so you must check your pump before ordering parts.
11
The first number is the pump serial number and the second number is the liquid
end serial number:
1st Model 1847-A #41451 —2053
1st Model 1550 #40162 — No liquid end number
1st Model 1500-C #40137 — No liquid end number
1st Model 1654 #40164 — No liquid end number
1st Model 1654-C #40007 — No liquid end number
1st Model 1742 #41785 — 2410
1st Model 1755 #41778 — 2406
1st Model 1753 #42376 — 2994
1st Model 2651 #42294-2835
1st Model 2652 #42029 — 2668
1757 and 1759 model liquid bodies are beveled for O-rings.
PISTON ROD STUFFING BOXES AND PACKING:

Liquid end stuffing boxes on a new pump are packed at the factory. unless the
pumps are prepped for long term storage. If the pumps are prepped for long term
storage or the pump has run long enough to wear the packing. The pumps must be
packed by the user. Standard packing consists of lip type packing rings. Care must
be taken to properly adjust the packing. Glands should be pulled up snug. but take
care not to over tighten. Other types of packing that can be furnished include
square braid graphite packing rings. The braid packing requires more pressure to
seal satisfactorily. Again. over tightening is to be avoided. Over tightening will
quickly reveal itself by generating excessive heat. When properly adjusted the
standard packings will slightly leak.
12
PISTONS:
Standard pistons for crude oil service consist of cast iron or steel bodies with
special porous cast iron chrome faced piston rings. Cast iron or steel piston bodies
with nylon glass filled piston rings are furnished when pumping crude oil products.
Cup type pistons are furnished for saltwater and rubber inserted pistons are used
for slush and cementing service.
To replace pistons. remove crosshead jam nuts. power end stuffing box gland,
liquid end stuffing Box glands. power end packing. and liquid end packing. Remove
cylinder heads and pull rod, piston. and liner through front of liquid end. Install new
pistons, rings or cups as required. Insert Pistons onto rod and into and into liners.
oriented with front of piston toward flange end of the liner. Install new liner gasket
and slip liner. piston and rod assembly into pump. Be sure to slip packing glands
over rod before pushing rod through power end stuffing box. Run crosshead jam
nut onto rod as far as possible. positioned so flat face of nut will bear upon face of
crosshead. Run rod into crosshead until jam nut touches crosshead and tighten jam
nut against crosshead. Be sure all mating surfaces are dry and clean before
tightening nuts against pistons or crossheads. Note: torque all nuts holding pistons
to rod to 7200 in-lbs. (600 ft.-Ibs.)
Holding liner in place. roll pump one complete revolution to verify that piston is
centered in the liner (end of cast iron piston may stroke out of liner). and adjust as
necessary by repositioning the crosshead jam nut on the rod. Once centered, install
the packing, glands, and cylinder heads. (See instructions for tightening liner set
screws below.)
Slush type pistons generally require more frequent attention than other types of
pistons.
13
LINERS:
Standard liners for crude oi] service and slush service are File Hard. Liners for
saltwater service re corrosion resistant material and are often called CORRESIST.
Corresist liners also are used in abrasive slurries. Always use new gaskets when
changing liners.
LINER SET SCREWS:

There are four liner set screws with jam nuts in each cylinder head. These are to
hold the liner against the liner gasket. When installing cylinder head. back the liner
set screws out a little and tighten all nuts on cylinder head studs first. Be sure to
use an alternating pattern when tightening fasteners to insure covers are properly
installed and torqued. Tighten set screws against the liner end torque per the
following chart.
SET SCREW SIZE TORQUE
½ - 13 UNC 30 ft - lbs
¾ - 10 UNC 110 ft - lbs
⅞ - 9 UNC 150 ft - lbs
1 - 8 UNC 240 ft - lbs
15 with the cover fasteners use an alternating pattern to properly tighten. After
tightening the set screws, tighten the set screw jam nuts. Be sure the packing or
lead gasket is in the cupped space on the underside of jam nut.
14
VALVES AND VALVE SEATS:

Standard equipment for crude oil service consists of hardened and ground steel
wing guided valves and seats. Bronze wing guided valves and seats are available for
fresh or saltwater service. When worn, the valves and seats can be removed and
reconditioned by facing seal surfaces with a lathe. If reconditioned before wear is
severe. Valves and seats can usually be reconditioned twice before replacement
with new components is necessary.
Slush pump valves require frequent replacement of the rubber inserts due to the
very abrasive material being pumped. Valves and seats should be inspected before
starting and when finishing any drilling job.
When replacing valve seats, clean valve seats and mating taper in liquid end with a
cleaner that does not leave an oil film residue. Wipe with a clean dry rag.
CAUTION: SEAT AND TAPER IN LIQUID END MUST BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND
DRY BEFORE DRIVING SEAT INTO PUMP TAPER.
CYLINDER HEADS, VALVE COVERS AND STUFFING BOXES:

Valve covers. cylinder heads. and stuffing boxes are held to the liquid body with
studs and nuts or cap screws. These nuts or cap screws should be torqued to the
following specifications according to size.
Fastener Size Torque
⅝” 1750 in.-lbs. (145 ft.-lbs.)
¾” 2880 in.-lbs. (240 ft.-lbs.)
⅞” 4800 in.-lbs. (400 ft.-lbs.)
1” 7200 in.-lbs. (600 ft.-lbs. )
Note: If the pump is EVER overloaded (loaded above maximum recommended

published pressures) or if a stud EVER fails for any reason, REPLACE ALL STUDS
IN THE LIQUID BODY BEFORE USING THE PUMP AGAIN.
15
GASKETS:
Pumps are equipped with O-Ring gaskets for valve covers, cylinder heads. and
stuffing boxes, and with flat fiber gaskets for suction and discharge flanges.
Separate lantern rings and “‘tattle-tale” packing is furnished as gaskets for liners in
recently manufactured slush fitted pumps, while pumps fitted for other
applications are equipped with spacers and flat fiber liner gaskets. Always be sure
all gasket surfaces are smooth, drv and free of any particles that would scratch or
otherwise interfere with efficient operation of the gasket.
RECOMMENDED WORKING PRESSURES AND CAPACITIES:

Piston Displacement and recommended working pressure for continuous duty and
with various size liners are shown in the current Wheatley Gaso catalog.
When pumping relatively incompressible liquids, volumetric efficiency of pump
should be I o. This assumes valves. liners. packing, piston rods, and pistons are in
good condition, If actual output or pump does not equal 95% of displacement
figure shown at the respective speeds. cause of trouble may be foreign matter
lodged under valve, bad valve seal suzaces Worn mers. Worn piston rings. worn
packing, worn rods, or blown liner gasket. Too small suction lire may also cause a
rate reduction.
SUCTION LINES:
Flash suction res thoroughly before starting pump.
Always provide ample capacity suction lines to the pump. This is the first requisite
when installing Wheatley Gaso pump. The pump cannot function properly if an
inadequate quantity of fluid is furnished. For suction lines leading directly to the
pump. select a line size so that the velocity of the fluid will not exceed 1 -2 feet per
second, or one that is two sizes larger than the pump section connection.
whichever gives the slower line velocity. The last 10 to 15 feet of this line is
preferably flexible hose and should always be connected to the pump inlet with an
eccentric reducer portion on top.
Always size “headers” feeding more than one pump so that the maximum velocity
in the header with all pumps running will not exceed 2 feet per second.
16
NEVER USE PLUG TYPE VALVES IN A SUCTION LINE. USE FULL OPENING VALVES.
Keep the number of tums to a minimum. When turns are required, use long radius
ells.
Always ensure your pump has sufficient Net Positive Suction Head Available
(NPSHA). It is not recommended to design a pumping system that provides only
the Net Positive Suction Head By definition of NPSHR for reciprocating pumps. the
pump is already pumping at a marginal capacity when no extra Net Positive Suction
Head (NPSH) is provided.
Any wear in pump expendable components (valves. seats. liners, pistons, piston
rods, and packing) will quickly result in a great reduction in rate and severe
cavitation. NPSH curves for pumps are relatively flat for values or head supplied
greater than the NPSHR. Therefore, if the system is designed with extra NPSHA the
pump will run with minimal rate reduction or cavitation with normal expendable
parts wear.
Extra NPSHA will cover a multitude of design sins.
The more NPSHA the better up to a practical point. Use of properly sized suction
and discharge dampeners will also help ensure a stable system. This is especially
critical for multiple pump systems.
