OPERATION
Before starting
Starting jerk
Check the oil level in the oil casing.
Remove the fuses or open the circuit breaker and
check that the impeller can be rotated by hand.
Check that the monitoring equipment (if any) works.
Check the direction of rotation. See the figure. The
impeller shall rotate clockwise, as viewed from above.
When started, the pump will jerk in the opposite direc-
tion to the direction in which the impeller rotates. Be-
ware! The starting jerk on large pumps can be
powerful.
The above measures are described under ”Inspec-
tion”.

Cleaning
If the pump has been operating in very dirty water,
allow it to run for a short period in clean water or flush
clean water through the discharge connection. If clay,
cement or other types of dirt are left in the pump, they
may dry and clog the impeller and seal.
In order to avoid sedimentation when the pumped
medium contains solid particles, the velocity of the
medium in the discharge line should be:

Inspection
Regular inspection and preventive maintenance en-
sure more reliable operation.
The pump should be inspected at least every three
months, more frequently under severe operating con-
ditions.
Under normal operating conditions, the pump should
have a major overhaul in a service shop once a year.
This requires special tools and should be done by an
authorized service shop.
When the pump is new or when the seals have been
replaced, inspection is recommended after one week
of operation.

Recommended inspections:

and installation Make sure that all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
Check the condition of carrying handle, chains and wire ropes.
Pump casing and Replace worn parts if they impair function.
impeller Wear on the impeller and the parts around it necessitates fine adjustment of the
impeller or replacement of worn parts. See ”Replacing the impeller”.

Oil quantity
WARNING! If the seal leaks, the oil casing may be under
pressure. Hold a rag over the oil casing screw in order to
prevent splatter. See “Safety precautions” for additional in-
formation.

Check that the oil reaches up to the oil hole when the pump is lying down with the
oil hole up.
Add oil as needed. See ”Changing the oil”.
Condition of the oil A check of the condition of the oil can show whether there has been an leakage.
Maximum permissible leakage is 0.05 ml/h (0.0017 oz/h). (Note! Air/oil mixture can
be confused with water/oil mixture).
Insert a tube (or hose) into the oil hole. Cover the top end of the tube and take up a
little oil from the bottom.
Change the oil if it contains too much water, i.e., is heavily emulsified (cream-like),
or if the water has settled out. See “Changing the oil”. Check again one week after
changing the oil.
If the oil contains too much water again, the fault may be:
— that an oil screw (OIL) is not sufficiently tight.
— that the O-ring of the oil screw or its sealing surface is damaged.
— that the lower seal (48) is damaged. Contact a Flygt service shop.
Cable entry Make sure that the cable clamp is tight. If the cable entry leaks:
— check that the entry is sufficiently tightened.
— cut a piece of the cable off so that the seal sleeve (28) closes around a new
position on the cable.
— replace the seal sleeve (28).
— check that the seal sleeve (28) and the washers (18) conform to the outside
diameter of the cables.
Cables Replace the cable if the outer jacket is damaged. Make sure that the cables do not
have any sharp bends and are not pinched.
Level sensors or other Check function. Clean, adjust, replace or repair damaged level sensing equipment.
level equipment Follow the instructions for the level sensing equipment in question.
Starter equipment If faulty, contact an electrician.
Rotation direction Transpose two phase leads if the impeller does not rotate clockwise as viewed
of pump from above. Rotation in the wrong direction reduces the capacity of the pump and
(requires voltage) the motor may be overloaded. Check the direction of rotation every time the pump
is reconnected.

Changing the oil
Oil hole

WARNING!
If the seal leaks, the oil casing
may be under pressure. Hold
a rag over the oil plug to
prevent splatter.

Lay the pump on its side on a bench or over two sup-


ports.
Unscrew the oil casing screw (OIL).
Turn the pump so that the oil hole faces downwards.
It is easier to drain the oil if the other oil hole screw is
also removed.
Fill up with 0,5 litres (0.5 US quarts) of new oil. Use an
ordinary SAE 10W-30 motor oil. Always replace the O-
rings of the oil hole screws. Put the screws back and
tighten them.

A parrafin oil approved by au-


thorities (e.g. Mobil Whiterex
307–309) is recommended for
raw or clean water pumping.
