5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP,
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN
These operations must be carried
out by fully qualified personnel.
5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure
5.1.1 Lubrication
Determine the mode of lubrication of the pump set,
eg grease, oil, product lubrication etc.
For oil lubricated pumps, fill the bearing
housing with correct grade of oil to the correct level, ie
sight glass or
constant level oiler bottle.
When fitted with a constant level oiler, the bearing
housing should be filled by unscrewing or hinging back
the transparent bottle and filling the bottle with oil. Where
an adjustable body Denco oiler is fitted this should be set
to the height shown in the following diagram:
The oil filled bottle should then be refitted so as to
return it to the upright position. Filling should be
repeated until oil remains visible within the bottle.
Grease lubricated pumps and electric motors are
supplied pre-greased.
Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should
be lubricated in accordance with their manuals.
In the case of product lubricated
bearings the source of product supply should be
checked against the order. There may be
requirements for an external clean supply, particular
supply pressure or the commencement of lubrication
supply before pump start-up.

* Note that some oils have a greater Viscosity Index than the minimum acceptable of 95 (eg Mobil DTE13M) which may extend the
minimum temperature capability of the oil. Always check the grade capability where the ambient is less than -5 ºC (-23 ºF).
