6.2.2 Routine inspection (daily / weekly)
The following checks should be
made and the appropriate action taken to remedy
any deviations:
a) Check the behaviour of the pump while
running: noise level, vibrations, bearings
temperature, flow rate and pressure.
b) Check that there are no abnormal fluid or
lubricant leaks (static and dynamic seals) and
that any sealant systems (if fitted) are full and
operating normally.
c) Check the level and condition of oil lubricant.
On grease lubricated pumps, check running
hours since last recharge of grease or
complete grease change.
6.2.3 Periodic inspection (6 monthly)
a) Check foundation bolts for
security of attachment and corrosion.
b) Check pump running records for hourly usage
to determine if bearing lubricant requires
changing.
c) The coupling should be checked for correct
alignment and worn driving elements.
If a check shows a bad running of the
motor pump unit, the user must:
a) Refer to the "fault finding chart"
chapter 7 of this leaflet to apply the
recommended solutions.
b) Ensure that your equipment corresponds to
the arrangements of this leaflet.
c) Contact FLOWSERVE after-sales Department
if the problem persists.
