fluid quenching, flush plan 62. If they are not used, they should be
plugged with pipe plugs.
3.4 Remove lock outs on pump and valves.
3.5 Do not start up the equipment dry to check motor rotation or for any
other reason. Open valves to flood pump with product fluid. Ensure
that the seal flush system is operating. Vent air from the casing of
the pump and the seal chamber before start-up.

seal flush system. Do not allow the equipment to run for any
extended time if the seal gets hot or squeals.
