dO’S & dON’TS
Do’s and Don’ts for installation, operation, and maintenance of Viking
pumps to assure safe, long, trouble-free operation
iNSTALLATiON -
1.
Do install pump as close to supply tank as possible
2. Do leave working space around the pumping unit
3. Do use large, short, and straight suction piping
4. Do install a strainer in the suction line
5. Do double check alignment after the unit is mounted and piping
is hooked up
6. Do provide a pressure relief valve for the discharge side of the
pump
7 Do cut out the center of gaskets used as port covers on flanged
port pumps
8. Do record pump model number and serial number and file for
future reference
OpErATiON -
1.
Don’t run pump at speeds faster than shown in the catalog for
your model
2. Don’t require pump to develop pressures higher than those
shown in the catalog for your model
3. Don’t operate pumps at temperatures above or below limits
shown in the catalog for your pump
4. Don’t operate pumps without all guards being in place
5. Don’t operate pump without a relief valve on the pump or in the
discharge piping; be sure valve is mounted and set correctly
6. Don’t exceed catalog limits for temperature and pressures of
fluids in jacketed areas of pump
7. Don’t use the pump in a system, which includes a steam blow or
an air or vapor blow or purge without provision for over-speed
shutdown in case the pump starts to act as a turbine and over-
speeds the drive
8. Don’t operate the pump with all of the liquid bypassing through
a pump mounted internal type relief valve or without any flow
of liquid going through the pump for more than a couple of
minutes Operation under either of these conditions may result
in a heat build-up in the pump, which could cause hazardous
conditions or happenings
MAiNTENANCE -
1.
Do make sure any pump that has residual system pressure in
it or that has handled high vapor pressure liquids, e g , LP-gas,
ammonia, Freons, etc has been vented through the suction or
discharge lines or other openings provided for this purpose
2. Do make sure that if the pump is still hooked to the driver
while maintenance is being performed that the driver has been
“locked out” so that it cannot be inadvertently started while work
is being done on the pump
3. Do make sure any pump that has handled a corrosive,
flammable, hot, or toxic liquid has been drained, flushed, vented
and/or cooled before it is disassembled
4. Don’t drop parts during disassembly, e g , idler can slip from the
pin as the head is removed from the pump; it may drop on your
foot, plus, it may get nicked or gouged
5. Don’t stick fingers in the ports of a pump! Serious injury may
result
6. Don’t spin the idler on the idler pin! Fingers may be jammed
between teeth and crescent
7. Do remember that a few simple preventative maintenance
procedures such as periodic lubrication, adjustment of end
clearance, examination of internal parts, etc , will extend the
service life of your pump
8. Do obtain, read and keep maintenance instructions furnished
with your pump
9. Do have spare parts, pumps or standby units available,
particularly if the pump is an essential part of a key operation or
process
