(2) Check if any damage has occurred during transport and ensure that
all bolts and nuts are properly tightened.
(3) Check that the number of pumps, accessories, and spare parts are
complete, compared to the shipping list and the spare parts list.
If there are any problems, contact your dealer.
1.2 Cautions on Unloading and Transportation
WARNING : THE LIFTING LUGS OF THE CASING ARE FOR LIFTING THESE UNITS
ONLY. WHEN LIFTING THE PUMP AS A COMPLETE UNIT, NEVER USE
THESE LUGS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION CAN RESULT
IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
WARNING : WHEN LIFTING THE PUMP, USE APPROPRIATE CRANE (OR HOIST)
AND WIRE ROPES. CHECK POSITION AND TIGHTNESS OF WIRE
ROPES SO THAT WEIGHT OF THE PUMP IS NOT UNBALANCED.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
ACCIDENTS.
(1) Install suitable pads for surfaces in contact with the cables to
protect painted surfaces.
(2) Handle the equipment carefully to avoid damage to auxiliary piping,
valves, gauges and other instruments installed on the equipment.
(3) After unpacking, if the pump is to be stored, place the pump in a
clean dry room that is free from large temperature variations.
If oil lubricated bearings are used, supply lubricating oil to the
bearings to prevent rust.

2. Operation
2.1 Preparation for Operation
(1) Ensure that the pump is correctly connected to the control panel,
and that functions are satisfactory.
(2) Remove any objects such as wood or wire from the pump suction pit.
(3) Confirm that the water level in the suction pit is above the lowest
level. The lowest level for which the pump can be normally operated
is shown in the General View Drawing. If the level is too low or the
shape of the suction pit is not proper, an air entrained vortex may
be produced, resulting in pump vibration. The water level must be
verified with a water level gauge.
(4) Confirm that the driver turns in the correct direction. The pump
rotates clockwise as seen from above. To check, operate the driver
independently by disconnecting the coupling.
(5) Fill the bearing housing with lubricating oil to the specified level.
(6) Check the auxiliary piping, by referring to Auxiliary Piping
Drawing . It is especially necessary to confirm valve opening or
closing.
(7) Adjust the gland packing so that a small amount of water
continuously leaks. If the gland packing is tightened excessively
or unevenly there is danger that it will seize, so pay particular
attention to this tightening. Before the first operation following
installation, continue water supply more than 10 min. to flush the
water supply system.
(8) Check pump for smooth rotation by manually turning rotor.
2.2 Start-Up
WARNING : DURING PUMP OPERATION, DO NOT TOUCH ROTATING PARTS OF THE

PUMP. KEEP HANDS, HAIR AND TOOLS AWAY FROM THESE PARTS TO
PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
Ensure that start-up requirements are completely satisfied.

(1) Ensure that adequate lubricating water is supplied.
(2) Check the pump oil level gauge to confirm that oil levels for thrust
bearing lubrication are proper.
(3) For the first operation after pump installation or re-assembly,
start the pump and then stop after four or five seconds to ensure
correct rotation direction and that there are no abnormalties. Then
start the pump for a short period (about 3 minutes). During this
time, check that the operation is satisfactory without detrimental
surges, vibration, noise, etc. If operation is satisfactory, operate
the pump continuously.

CAUTION : SHUTOFF OPERATION SHOULD BE AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE (2 3

MINUTES). OTHERWISE THE PUMP CAN BE DAMAGED BY LIQUID TEMPERATURE
RISE.
2.3 Operation
(1) Closely check the operating conditions after pump operation begins.
Keep an operation diary, and if there is any trouble, record the
situation in detail.
(2) Although the pump can be operated throughout the specified operation
range, long periods of operation at less than Min. continuous flow
and operation exceeding Max. flow (over load flow) should be avoided.
EBARA is not responsible for problems caused by such operation.
(3) Note any abnormal noise and vibration. If air or foreign matter
enter the pump or if there is a change in the operation point of
the plant or mis-operation and defect of valves in the discharge
lines, abnormal noise and vibration will occur, pump discharge
pressure will vary greatly or the motor current meter will vary
suddenly during operation. In such cases, immediately check these
problems and find the cause. Refer to paragraph 8. Troubleshooting.
(4) After starting operation, note any temperature rise of pump thrust
bearing.
Bearing temperature rises gradually during continuous operation and
is then stabilized after a given time (12 hours).
If abnormal temperature rise is noted, immediately shut down the
pump and investigate the cause.
(5) Ensure that pump bearing lubrication oil level is proper.
Some fluctuation in the oil level can be noted during operation.
(6) If the following occur, immediately check and find the cause.
(a) Motor overload
(b) Start delay
(c) Pump thrust bearing temp.rise : abnormal
(7) Adjust the tightness of the gland bolts so that a small amount of
water will continually leak from the gland without spraying.
(8) Allowable temperature-rise and maximum allowable temperature shall
be as per the following table.

Cooling Type : Air Cooled Bearing Jacket
Allowable Temp. Rise Max. Allowable Temp.
Ambient temp.+45 C 80 C
2.4 Stop

checks.
WARNING : KEEP HANDS, FINGERS, HAIR, AND TOOLS AWAY FROM THE ROTATING
PARTS OF THE PUMP IN OPERATION. OTHERWISE, SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY MAY RESULT.
WARNING : CUT THE POWER SUPPLY SO THE DRIVER CANNOT BE STARTED BY MISTAKE
AFTER PUMPING STOP.
CAUTION : DRAIN PUMP AND PIPING AS THEY MIGHT CRACK WHEN INTERNAL WATER
FREEZES WHILE STOPPING PUMPING IN WINTER, ETC.
3.1 Operation Diary

Keep an accurate operation diary and use it as a basis for making operation
and maintenance plans. With a well kept diary, trouble can be detected
early and proper measures can be taken easily.
Items to be covered by the diary :
(1) Date and time of measurement
(2) Time of start and stop
(3) Ambient temperature near pump
(4) Water level in suction pit
(5) Discharge pressure
(6) Pump bearing temperature
(7) Current, voltage, frequency, motor power
(8) Vibration
Measurements shall be made at the same time each day. (Time of
measurement shall be established depending on item and use.)

3.2 Inspection
3.2.1 Bearing Housing
When oil level decreases, remove the air vent cap on the bearing cover and
supply oil to the indicated level of the oil gauge on the bearing housing.
Oil should be replaced after 2,000 hours of operation, but at least once
every 6 months regardless of total operating hours.
Proceed as follows for bearing lubrication:
(1) Stop pump operation.
(2) Remove the oil drain plug and the air vent cap on the bearing cover,
and completely drain oil. Re-install plug.
(3) Supply new oil to the indicated level of the oil gauge on the
bearing housing. Re-install air vent cap.
(4) Start the pump.
Recommended oil Quantity (liters)

Turbine oil ISO VG46 (JIS k2213) 1.6
3.2.2 Stuffing Box

(1) Gland packing
The packing needs to be replaced when leak water increases and
adjustment is no longer possible by tightening the gland. Stop the
pump and proceed with the following steps carefully. If the packing
is improperly installed, leakage will not be stopped and the sleeve
may wear unevenly.
CAUTION : DO NOT TIGHTEN THE GLAND TO STOP ALL LEAKAGE. A SMALL AMOUNT
OF LEAKAGE IS NECCESARY TO INSURE COOLING AND LUBRICATION OF
THE PACKING AND TO PREVENT SHAFT SLEEVE DAMAGE.
(a) Removal.
Used packing should be removed and discarded. Use the special
tool provided, taking care to avoid damage to the stuffing box
and sleeve. (Fig. 3.1)

Fig. 3.1
(b) Replacement
Stuffing box must be clean and shaft sleeve free of imperfections.
Twist the packing rings open and wind around the shaft sleeve as
shown in Fig. 3.2.
Push the packing rings, one by one, into the stuffing box with the
special tool.
Cut ends of the packing must always be staggered by 90180.

Wrap string type gland packing on shaft sleeve and cut length 1 or
2 % longer than normal. Cut ends of the packing should be tied or
taped to prevent fraying and cuts should be diagonal. Insert
packing in the stuffing box in the same manner as prefabricated
type and secure with gland. Avoid excessive gland tightening.
Correct Incorrect
Fig. 3.2
(2) Packing sleeve

If the sleeve wears unevenly on one side more than 0.3 mm, the
effectiveness of the packing seal will be reduced, so replace the
sleeve. When the sleeve is worn evenly, refer to 3.2.3 (2).
3.2.3 Disassembly Inspection

Perform the disassembly inspection annually or once every two years
depending on the operating conditions. At such times, it is desirable
that the interior of the suction pit also be cleaned.
During the disassembly inspection, always take photographs showing a
scale and make records of the condition of the parts. Each part is to be
inspected.

(1) Submerged bearing and sleeve

The maximum allowable gap between the submerged bearing and the
sleeve is shown in Table 3.1. If the maximum allowable gap in
Table 3.1 is exceeded, both parts or the more worn part must be
replaced. Measurements shall be taken at two points 90apart at
the center and both ends of the bearing and sleeve.
Existence of linear flaws on sliding parts surfaces is indicative
that lubricating water contains foreign substances, and lubricating
water must be examined. Check for foreign matter in the stuffing
box drain as well as in the lubricating water system.
Table 3.1 Gap between Submerged Bearing and Sleeve
Max. Allowable Gap (in Diameter)
Dimensions in mm
Between Intermediate
submerged bearing and sleeve 1.0
Between lower submerged

bearing and sleeve 1.0
(2) Packing sleeve

Packing sleeve wear is within the allowable tolerance if it is less
than 2.0 mm in diameter. But the outer sleeve surface must be
machined so that it is smooth.
(3) Casing ring
As the gap between the impeller casing and the casing ring increases,
leakage through the gap also increase, thereby reducing the pumped
volume and pumping efficiency. It is recommended that the casing
liner be replaced when the gap reaches the limit of 3.0 mm in
diameter.
(4) Shaft
Measure shaft deflection at the ends and the center with a dial
gauge as illustrated in Fig. 3.3. With the values given in Fig. 3.3,
the shaft is curved to the right and downward in reference to the
key way. Runout of such deflection is 8/100 mm. In general,
modification is required when maximum runout of the shaft exceeds
12/100 mm.

Dial Gauge 0

+8 (dimensions in 1/100 mm)

Shaft Deflection Measurement
Fig. 3 .3 Measurement Example
(5) Coupling and keys

Examine all keys for wear and damage. Ensure that they are flat,
parallel and free from burrs, and properly fit the key way. Replace
if necessary.
(6) Coupling bolts
If the rubber coupling bolt bushings are worn, renew them. The
change interval is about 16,000 hours of operation.
(7) Gaskets
Rubber rings must be replaced if they are deformed or lack
elasticity.
(8) Washers
Lock washers must function properly at all times. Therefore, any
which have deteriorated must be replaced.
3.2.4 Maintenance During Prolonged Stoppage

The pump should be maintained so that it may be operated at any time. If
posible, operate the pump once a month.
(1) Remove the gland packings and install packings impregnated with
grease.
(2) Replace the oil in the bearing housing once a year even if the unit
is not operated.
(3) Insulation of the motor will deteriorate when there is high
humidity. Take care to keep the motor dry.

(12) Remove the submerged bearing housing and lower column pipe.
(13) Remove the bush. Pull the lower shaft from discharge bowl toward
discharge side.
(14) If necessary, remove the sleeve from shaft, submerged bearing from
bearing housing. If necessary, the casing ring can be removed also,
but as far as possible, only remove for replacement.
(15) After disassembly, clean all parts, protect the threaded portion of
the disassembled shaft by wrapping with tape and coat machined
surfaces with anti-rust agent.
(16) Inspect all parts and determine whether repair or replacement is
necessary in acordance with the description in paragraph 3.2.
CAUTION : WHEN MACHINED SURFACES ARE DAMAGED AND MUST BE REPAIRED,

USE AN APPROPRIATE GRINDER. DURING GRINDING WORK,
APPROVED PROTECTIVE GOGGLES MUST ALSO BE WORN.

5. Assembly
Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly while ensuring the match
marks are aligned. In addition, the following instructions must be
observed.
(1) When replacing parts, check thoroughly before assembling.
(2) When reassembling each part, remove foreign matter in the tapped
holes with compressed air and check for defects or dirt on the
flange surfaces and mating surfaces.
(3) Before reassembly, remove anti-rust agent, check for corrosion and
damage.
(4) Generally, replace consumables (such as O rings, rubber rings, gland
packing, washers, etc.) with new parts.
(5) The adjusting nut is the only one with left hand threads. All
other threads are right hand.
(6) The fitted and threaded sections of the bearing housing, shaft, and
the fastening bolts, etc. are to be cleaned thoroughly and a coating
of lubricating oil (Never Seez or equivalent) applied to prevent
seizing.
(7) Use the impeller nut lock washer and the adjusting nut lock washer.
Bend the washers into the notch in the nut to prevent turning.
Washers shall also used on lower bearing housing.
(8) Check the match marks on the casing mating surfaces and the shafts
and couplings.
(9) When connecting the shaft sections,install the socket coupling onto
the upper shaft. Push the socket coupling up until the key can be
set in the key slot of upper shaft side to prevent the socket
coupling from dropping down. Set the remaining key in the key slot
of lower shaft side, and the split rings in the ditch. Then push the
socket coupling down. Install the set screw to prevent the socket
coupling from moving.
(10) Be sure to install the rubber rings for the casing joining surfaces
and the O rings for the stuffing box and in their proper places.
CAUTION : CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO DAMAGE O RINGS OR RUBBER

RINGS WHEN INSTALLING.
(11) To prevent uneven tightening, tighten flange bolts in a criss-cross

pattern as shown in Fig.5.2.

(12) When installing the coupling bolts, check centering. Attach a dial
indicator to the driver side coupling hub. Insert one or two bolts
and turn together. To perform this centering, move the driver
horizontally with the push bolts located on top of driver pedestal.
For measurement of angular deviation, a block gauge or thickness
gauge may be used together. Off-center is half of the reading on
the dial indicator as shown in Fig.5.3. Be sure not to touch the
shaft or coupling when taking the gauge reading.
