If the drippage is corrosive or harmful to personnel, it should be collected and piped away. A common error is to open the external

MAINTENANCE TIME TABLE EVERY MONTH Check bearing temperature with a thermometer, not by hand. If bearings are running hot (over 180°F), it may be the result of too much lubricant. If changing the lubricant does not correct the condition, disassembly and inspect the bearings. Lip seals bearing on the shaft may also cause the housing to run hot. Lubricate lip seals to correct. EVERY 3 Check grease lubricated bearings for saponification. This condition is usually caused by the infiltration o

TROUBLE SHOOTING Between regular maintenance inspections, be alert for signs of motor or pump trouble. Common symptoms are listed below. Correct any trouble immediately and AVOID COSTLY REPAIR AND SHUTDOWN. CAUSES CURES No Liquid Delivered 1. Lack of prime. Fill pump and suction pipe completely with liquid. 2. Loss of prime. Check for leaks in suction pipe joints and fittings; vent casing to remove accumulated air. Check mechanical seal or packing. 3. Suction lift too high (a If there i
