SECTION I

GENERAL INFORMATION

This manual covers the installation, operation and maintenance of Patterson Pump Type HSC pumps.

The pump is a centrifugal, single stage; single suction type furnished with mechanical seals. When

properly installed and when given reasonable care and maintenance, centrifugal pumps should operate

satisfactorily for a long period of time. Centrifugal pumps use the centrifugal force principal of

accelerating the liquid within a rotating impeller, and then collecting it and converting it to pressure head

in a stationary volute.

The pump consists of two assemblies:

1. Volute assembly or stationary part

2. Rotating element or moving part

The back pullout design allows for removal of the motor and integral rotating element without disturbing

the suction and discharge piping. The suction and discharge nozzles are drilled and tapped for gauge

connections. Pump casings are drilled and tapped for complete pump drain. Casing wear rings are

provided as standard equipment.

SECTION II

STORAGE & PROTECTION

All pumps are shop serviced and ready for operation when delivered, but there are occasions when

considerable time elapses between the delivery date and the time the pump is put into operation.

Equipment which is not in service should be kept in a clean, dry area. If equipment is to be stored for

long periods of time (six months or more), the following precautions should be taken to insure that the

equipment remains in good condition.

1. Unpainted-machined surfaces, which are subject to corrosion, should be protected by some

corrosive resistant coating.

2. The shaft should be rotated 10 to 15 revolutions by hand periodically in order to spread the

lubricant over all the bearing surfaces. Suitable intervals are from one to three months,

depending on atmospheric conditions, etc. In order to insure that the pump shaft does not begin

to sag, do not leave the shaft in the same position each time.

3. Space heaters on motors and controllers should be connected and fully operable if atmospheric

conditions approach those experienced in operation. Consult instruction manuals for other

precautions concerning storage of individual components of pumping unit.

4. Fresh lubricant should be applied to bearings upon removal of equipment from storage.

SECTION III

INSTALLATION

3-1 Location:

Several factors should be considered when selecting a location for the pumping unit (pump and drive). The unit

should be accessible for both inspection and maintenance. Headroom should be provided for the use of crane,

hoist or other necessary lifting devices. The pump should be located as close as possible to the liquid supply so

that the suction line is short and direct. Location should require a minimum of elbows and fittings in the

discharge line to minimize friction losses. The unit should be protected against flooding.

3-2 Mounting:

Pumps can be mounted on steel bases, raised concrete pads or floor as long as the mounting surface is level.

The mounting surface must be solid and rigid enough to support the pump unit without deflection or vibration. To

facilitate the leveling of the pump use a spirit level and short pieces of pipe in the threaded nozzles to determine

if the pump is level in all directions.

3-3 Alignment:

The pump unit has been manufactured to allow field alignment. The unit must be properly aligned at the time of

installation. Reliable trouble-free and efficient operation of a unit depends upon correct alignment.

Misalignment may be the cause of noisy pump operation, vibration, premature bearing failure, or excessive

coupling wear. Factors that may change the alignment of the pumping unit are settling of the foundation,

springing of the base plate, piping strains, a shift of the pump or drive on the foundation. When checking

coupling alignment, remember flexible couplings are not intended to be used as universal joints. The purpose of

a flexible coupling is to compensate for temperature changes and to permit end movement of the shafts without

interference with each other.

Two types of misalignment may exist: parallel misalignment and angular misalignment. Limits of misalignments

are stated in the coupling manufacturer's instructions, but should be kept to a minimum for maximum life of

equipment components.

To check coupling alignment, the following procedure should be followed:

1. Set the coupling gap to the dimension shown on the coupling data sheet.

2. Check for parallel misalignment by placing a straight edge across both coupling halves at four points

90apart. Correct alignment occurs when the straight edge is level across the coupling halves at all

points.

3. Check angular misalignment with a feeler gauge at four points 90apart. Correct alignment occurs

when the same gauge just enters between the halves at all four points.

Angular and parallel misalignment are corrected by shifting the motor and adding or removing shims from under

the motor feet. After each change, it is necessary to recheck the alignment of the coupling halves. Adjustment

in one direction may disturb adjustment already made in another direction.

The importance of correct alignment cannot be overemphasized. Alignment should be checked and corrected

as required after:

1. Mounting

2. Piping is connected

3. Pump or driver is moved for any reason.

WARNING!!!

The importance of correct alignment cannot be overemphasized. The following procedure should be used for

initial installation.

1. Mount pump assembly on steel base, concrete pad or floor and tighten bolts evenly, but not too tight..

2. At this point check alignment of the coupling. This should not be more than that recommended by the

coupling manufacturer.

3. If misalignment is evident, determine which direction the coupling needs to be moved.

4. Loosen all nuts and add the shims underneath the driver to obtain final alignment.

Alignment should be checked and corrected as required after:

-Mounting

-Piping is connected

-Pump or driver is moved for any reason

3-4 Wiring and Controls:

The electric motor power supply connections must conform to national and local codes. The motor ratings

stamped on the motor nameplate must match the line voltage and wire capacity. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER

VOLTAGE.

SECTION IV

OPERATION

CAUTION:

Do not exceed the rated working pressure of the pump.

The sum of the suction pressure and the maximum pump operating head (converted to units of

pressure) must be less than the pump working pressure, at all times.

CAUTION:

Do not exceed the pressure capabilities of the mechanical seals.

The pressure on the mechanical seals for this pump type is equal to the suction pressure.

The suction pressure must not exceed the rated working pressure of the mechanical seals.

4-1 Starting:

Turn the pump shaft by hand to insure that the parts do not bind

Open the valve in the pump suction line, if fitted

Close discharge valve

Prime the pump in one of the following ways:

1. If the pump operates under positive pressure, open vent valve on top of the pump casing. After all

entrained air has escaped, close the vent valves. Rotate the shaft, if possible, to allow any air trapped

in the impeller passages to escape.

2. If the pump operates on a suction lift and a foot valve is included in the system, fill the pump and the

suction line with liquid from an outside source. Trapped air should be allowed to escape through the

vent valve while filling.

3. If the pump operates on a suction lift and no foot valve is provided, use a vacuum pump or ejector

operated by air, steam, water, etc. to evacuate air from the pump case and suction line by connecting

the ejector to the priming connection on top of the pump case.

Check direction of rotation before starting pump. Rotation should be the same as the direction arrow on

the case.

CAUTION:

Do not operate without liquid. Pump seals depend on the liquid being pumped for lubrication.

Make sure pump is primed and that no air is in the suction piping and the pump case.

Make sure all valves open or closed as required by your specific requirements.

Start driver:

Open discharge valve slowly when the pump is up to speed.

CAUTION:

Overheating and/or loss of prime will result if the pump is operated against a closed valve for more than

a few minutes.

NOTE: Should the pump fail to build up pressure or discharge water when the discharge valve is opened, stop

the pump and read Section Locating Operating Difficulties.

4-2 Shutdown:

The pump may be stopped with the discharge valve open without causing damage. However, in order

to prevent water hammer effects, as a general recommendation the discharge valve should be closed

first.

1. Close discharge valve.

2. Stop driver.

3. If danger of freezing exists, isolate the pump by closing a valve in the pump suction line, if fitted, and

drain the pump completely.

SECTION V

MAINTENANCE

1. There should be no mechanical seal leakage except for a brief break in period. Mechanical seals should

be replaced if they are leaking

3. Refer to the motor manufacturer’s instructions for periodic maintenance requirements.

4. Check that electrical control equipment contacts are in good condition and clean.

5. Bearing relubrication requirements – refer to the table “Pump Bearing Relubrication

Requirements”. . Do not overlubricate the bearings.. Such action will cause bearings to overheat.

6. Refer to the “General Pump Inspection and Maintenance Schedule” for best results.

* The bearing group for a pump is the suffix in the model designation. For example, model S8A12A-3 uses

bearing group 3.

** These values are for a typical grease gun having a capacity of 1 ounce (30 cc) of grease per 30 strokes.

IMPORTANT - The number of strokes should be adjusted according to the actual grease gun used.

*** These relubrication intervals are based on bearing temperatures up to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C),

measured on the bearing housing. The intervals should be halved for every increase in temperature of 25

degrees F (15 degrees C), above 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), to allow for more frequent relubrication, but the

maximum operating temperature for the grease used must not be exceeded. The bearings must also be

relubricated more frequently when there is a risk of becoming contaminated, such as a dirty, dusty, or wet

environment.

Relubrication procedure:

1) Clean grease fitting and outside of bearing housing.

2) Remove drain plug.

3) Inject grease according to the table above.

4) Start and run the pump for a short time to allow any excess grease to purge.

5) Wipe off any excess grease that may have purged and replace drain plug.
