INSTALLATION, OPERATION, LUBRICATION, MAINTENANCE
AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
Electrical power or engine must be shut off
completely before attempting service on the pump or
its drive. Air surrounding the unit to be free of toxic,
flammable, or explosive gases.
Tools needed should be planned for in advance,
(see valve seat pulling instructions), and should be
clean and of adequate size. A torque-wrench will be
required to tighten connecting rod cap screws.
A properly sized and set relief valve installed in the
pump discharge system (ahead of any block valves)
is necessary to protect personnel and to avoid
dangerous overpressure. The relief valve set
pressure should be not more than 25% above the
design operating pressure and should discharge to
tank or to the atmosphere (toward the ground), and
must not be directed back to the pump suction
system.
WARNING: Improper use of this equipment
could result in loss of life....
STORAGE
Pumps are shipped dry from the factory. If a
pump has been in storage in a humid environment for
more than 6 months the crankcase cover should be
removed and carefully examined for rust or water
collected in the power end. Flush out any evidence
of rust or damage which exists, using a light clean oil.
Pumps to be placed in extended storage should
be cleaned, repaired as needed, and completely filled
to the top with clean oil to prevent rusting. Rotate
pump monthly 4 1/2 resolutions. Plug all openings to
prevent air entry and oil leakage.
Fluid ends must be completely drained of water
and suction and discharge ports blanked off. Store
pump in a clean, dry location.
PUMP LOCATION & PIPING DESIGN
Locate pump and driver in a clean, well drained,
ventilated, and brightly illuminated area, with
adequate working spaces around the pump to
provide ample access to fluid end, power end, and
associated drive elements. Do not expect good

REVISED 06/18/02

maintenance to result if the pump is positioned on

muddy terrain, or in a dirty, cramped, dimly-lighted
area!
The supply tank(s) should be large to allow
dissolved air and other gases to escape from the liquid
and allow suspended solids to settle out before
entering pump. A system employing dams and settling
chambers is desirable.
Pumps are not designed to withstand piping
weight, vibration, and the effects of thermal piping
expansion/contraction. Piping loads may be
considerable and the weight of all valving,
dampeners, filters, and associated forces, moments,
and couples must be completely isolated. Use
flexible hoses and rigid piping supports to isolate the
pump and its driver from these effects.

SUCTION PIPING
No part of the piping system deserves more
careful planning than the suction piping system.
Suction piping must be SHORT, DIRECT, and
OVERSIZE. Use one pipe size larger than the pump
suction connection. For example, since the suction
connection for the SC-30H pump is 2, use a 2 1/2
short, direct suction line from tank to this pump. The
shorter it is, the better! 1 to 3 feet per second suction
velocity is acceptable.
Use no elbows, tees, or restricted port valves in
this line. Do not install orifice plates or positive
displacement type fluid meters in the suction line
which act as flow restrictors. Avoid the use of suction
filters, if possible. Consider filtering the liquid as it
enters the supply tank rather than as it leaves it. The
use of an eccentric reducer with the flat side up
located at the pump suction connection is
recommended. The suction line should slightly rise
from tank to pump and loops in which air may collect
must be avoided.
The absolute pressure in a suction line may be less
than atmospheric pressure and air may be sucked
into the line unless all flanges and connections are

SC-30H TRIPLEX
(b) The average liquid velocity in the piping
(c) The length of the suction piping
(d) The number of pumping chambers (triplex, etc.)
(e) The compressibility of the liquid
Thus, for a given pump, acceleration head effects
may be reduced by the use of the shortest possible
suction line, sized to reduce liquid velocity to a very
low speed. This is often more economical than the
use of charge pumps, or expensive suction stabilizers.
NOTE: Charge pumps should be sized to 150
% of rated pump volume. Charge pumps need to
be centrifugals not a positive displacement pump.
A charging pump is usually not a good substitute
for a short, direct, oversize suction line, nor is it a
substitute for the computation of available NPSH,
acceleration head, friction head, vapor pressure and
submergence effects duly considered. Required
NPSHR of Myers/Aplex pumps depends on speed,
choice of plunger size, and valve spring type. Consult
Myers/Aplex Engineering for help with your
particular application. A full discussion of suction
system losses is given in the Standards of the
Hydraulic Institute, 14th Edition.
A common design mistake is the connecting of
two (or more) reciprocating pumps to a COMMON
suction header. This is a profoundly complicated
suction system, largely not amenable to mathematical
analysis, and is frequently the cause of severe pump
pounding, vibration and early valve failures. Each
pump should be fed by its own separate, individual
piping system, free from the effects of other pump
cyclical demands for liquid.

airtight and watertight. If you can see water leaking

out of a suction line when the pump is still, that may
mean air is being sucked in when the pump is running.
Suction piping should be buried beneath the frost
line, or insulated to avoid freezing in the winter. If the
suction line has a block valve at the supply tank, a
suitable relief valve is suggested to relieve the suction
piping from any possible dangerous overpressure
from the discharge piping system.
Suction piping is often large, heavy (especially
when filled with liquid), and tends to vibrate. Proper
solid supports are recommended. A suction hose
located near the pump will isolate these effects,
protecting the pump from the forces and moments
that piping weight creates.
New suction piping systems should be flushed
free of pipe scale, welding slag, and dirt before
starting the pump. Hydrostatic testing to detect air
leaks is advisable. Proper choice of suction hose
construction is essential to avoid collapse of the hose
liner.
Install a dry type compound gage in the suction
line near the pumps which should fluctuate evenly. If
violently pulsating, this gage indicates that the pump is
not fully primed, or that one or more valves are
inoperative.
ACCELERATION HEAD
A characteristic of all reciprocating pumps is the
imperative need to consider the effects of
acceleration head which is a SYSTEM related
phenomenon. Acceleration head may be considered
to be the loss of available hydraulic head (energy) in
the piping system occurring because the demand by
the pump cylinders for liquid is not smooth and even.
Because the pumps demand for liquid is cyclical, the
velocity of the liquid in the entire suction system is not
truly constant but varies in response to the combined
demand of the reciprocating plungers. Thus, liquid in
the suction system is compelled to be accelerated and
decelerated several times during each crankshaft
revolution, depending on the number of plungers.
Called acceleration head, this loss of available
hydraulic head is proportional to:

DISCHARGE PIPING
A properly designed discharge piping system
usually obviates the need of a pulsation dampener.
The most common mistakes made in the design of the
discharge piping system are:
Pumping directly into a tee or header. A
standing wave (either audible or sub-audible)
then often occurs. If flow must enter a header, use
a 45o branch lateral (or equivalent) to avoid a
reflecting surface from which sound can reflect.

these applications may be merited.

LUBRICATION
SC-30H Myers/Aplex pumps utilize 2 U.S.
quarts of S.A.E 40 wt. non-detergent oil in the
crankcase. This oil requires only a non-foaming
additive and should possess good water separation
(anti-emulsion) characteristics. Such oils are often
labeled industrial or turbine quality lubricants. If
these oils are not available, a good quality gear oil or
EP oil may be substituted. See lubrication guide lines.
In temperate climates oil viscosity selected should
fall between 70 and 84 seconds Saybolt viscosimeter
at 210o F. In arctic service, low pour point oils are
needed.
After the first 500 hours of operation in a new
pump, drain the oil. Refill with clean, fresh oil.
Thereafter, change the oil every 1,500 hours or
sooner if it becomes contaminated with water or dirt.
Fill to the center of the sight gage. Pumps with
dipsticks, fill above the line at the bottom of dipstick.
Recheck after starting, adding oil to center of gage, or
above the line on the bottom of dipstick, while
running.
V-BELT DRIVE
A properly designed, well-aligned v-belt will
provide years of reliable, economical service if
properly tensioned and kept dry, free of oil, and
ventilated.
Alignment is critical for long life. If the shaft axes
are not truly parallel, or if the sheave grooves are not
positioned in good alignment, some belts will carry
most of the load resulting in their disproportionate
load share and may actually twist or turn over in the
groove. Use a straight edge across the rim of the

REVISED 06/18/02

sheaves to detect and correct for misalignment.

After about one week of operation, new v-belts
will have stretched somewhat. The motor must be
moved on its slide base to re-establish proper belt
tensioning.
Insufficient tension results in slippage, burning,
squealing (especially during starting), and shortened
belt life. Overtightening imposes excessive loads on
pump and motor bearings and can cause early shaft
fatigue failure.

any misalignment or lack of matching, so each belt
will transmit its load share.

C.D.

Sheaves must be balanced to prevent abnormal

vibration. Balancing weights must NOT be removed.
Type QD sheaves must be evenly tightened on their
tapered hubs to avoid rim wobble and severe lateral
vibration. V-belts which snap and jerk will produce
abnormal vibration and loads on both pump and
motor or engine.
Run the pump several minutes at full load with belt
guard removed observing for uneven motion on the
belt slack side, especially.
When an old V-belt drive becomes unserviceable, replace ALL belts, not just the broken or
cracked belts. Do not operate belts on sheaves
having worn, rusted, greasy, or broken grooves. Shut
off power to drivee before servicing drive or pump.
WARNING: Do not operate without
appropiate guards in place.

If pump is gear driven, remember that the pinion

shaft turns opposite the crankshaft, if using a singlereduction geared drive or in the same direction as the
crankshaft when using a planetary gear.
AUTOMATIC (SAFETY) SHUTDOWNS
Carefully check all electric shutdown devices
present such as crankcase oil level, discharge
pressure, vibration, lubricator oil level, motor
thermostat, etc.

DIRECTION OF ROTATION
Before placing pump in operation, check that
crankshaft rotation agrees with the arrows cast on top
of the power frame by briefly jogging the electric
motor. Crankshaft rotation must be clockwise as
viewed from the right side of pump.

CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY

GENERAL
Myers/Aplex crankshaft suspension utilizes two
single-row tapered bearings, which are shim adjusted
to provide the correct running clearance.
Thorough cleaning of all components prior to
assembly is essential.
Power frame, shaft, bearings and retainer MUST
be scrupulously scrubbed with clean solvent (such as
kerosene) before starting. Remove any oil, dirt, rust
and foreign matter which might prevent the correct fit
up.
Crankshaft journals are critical. Remove all
burrs, rust spots, and nicks, paying special attention
to the ground areas on which bearings and oil seals
operate.

insulated gloves, remove the hot cone assembly from

the oven, promptly dropping it on to the shaft.
The cone assembly MUST contact the seat thrust
face (not be cocked), and the large end of the rollers
MUST be down. Do not hammer on the bearing. The
soft steel cage is easily distorted, ruining its function as
a roller separator and guide against skewing. If the
cone does not contact its thrust face properly, it must
be pressed into place using a specially machined
sleeve (which does not touch the soft steel cage). A
hydraulic press is recommended if this difficulty
arises.

TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS

Shaft and frame tolerances provide a tight (press)
fit on the shaft, and tap fit in the frame. The best way
to install the cone assembly (consists of the inner race,
cage and rollers) on the shaft is to heat the cone
assembly in an electric oven for 30 minutes at 300 to
400oF. No More! (Do NOT heat bearings with an
acetylene torch. This ruins the bearings!) Using clean,

SHIM ADJUSTMENT OF TAPERED

ROLLER BEARINGS
To provide for crankshaft thermal expansion,
sufficient shims (located beneath bearing retainer
flange) must be installed to provide .005" to .015"
lateral end play, when shaft is cold.
Separate the shims set (which consists of two
.020"; three .007"; and three .005" thick shims).
Select one .020" shim and the bearing retainer and
position them over the bearing retainer.
Insert two of six hex head cap screws 180o apart
and tighten alternately until the bearing cup is seated.
Place a magnetic base indicator on the exposed end
of the crankshaft with indicator spindle against the
side of power frame. Move crankshaft laterally with
a pry bar first left and then right observing movement
indicated in each direction. The lateral end play
should be only .005" to .015". Remove the bearing
retainer and add shims as needed. Repeat the
procedure above until the proper end play tolerance
is obtained. Install the remaining four cap screws.
The recommended tightening torque for bearing
retainer 3/8"-16UNC cap screws is 24 to 30 Ft.Lb.

GENERAL
Stand the power frame casting on the floor or on
a bench with the fluid end face down and crankshaft
end up. Insert one bearing cup in the left frame cup
bore and shoulder it against the bearing retainer with
rubber mallet. Pass the crankshaft through the right
frame bore, and against the installed cup until the
bearing cone seats into the left bearing cup. Insert a
second bearing cup over the right hand crankshaft
journal. Install O-ring on the crankshaft extension
guard. Tap the guard over the crankshaft extension if
an auxiliary drive is not being used.

CONNECTING ROD, CROSSHEAD, AND CROSSHEAD PIN ASSEMBLY:

GENERAL
Myers/Aplex connecting rod assemblies employ
precision automotive type steel-backed, babbittlined crankpin bearing halves which require no shims
for clearance adjustment. This pump employs fullcircle (piston type) crossheads.
Plungers are provided with a knurled wrenching
area to permit tightening of the tapered thread into the
crosshead, establishing accurate alignment while
affording easy field installation.
Before beginning the assembly all parts must be
scrupulously cleaned, removing all oil, dirt, rust, and
foreign matter which prevent proper fitting, or which
might tend to score the rubbing surfaces. Clean and
examine the power frame bores for scoring and
abnormal wear, especially wear of the lower
crosshead guide way. Hone smooth, if rough.
Measure the bores of the frame using inside
micrometers to determine abnormal frame wear if
any.

place, the I.D. (bore) of the bushing is reduced
somewhat, owing to the extent of press fit. Therefore,
a clean, new wrist pin should be inserted into the
bushing bore to establish that running clearance has
been obtained. The running clearance between the
wrist pin and installed bushing is:

A mishap during insertion can occur causing the

ruin of the pin or the crosshead, if during application
of pressure:
a.) Pin is not aligned absolutely square with the
crosshead.
b.) Crosshead is not supported on v-blocks so it
can roll while under load.
c.) Connecting rod is not fully supported so pin
cannot enter the bushing without damage to it.
This will damage the bushing.
d.) Failure to oil pin O.D. and crosshead bores, to
prevent galling. Use clean motor oil.

Replacement bushings are furnished pre-bored
by Myers/Aplex which usually eliminates the need to
ream the installed bushing bore. However, due to
slight variations in finishes and tolerances it sometimes
happens that more than predicted contraction of the
I.D. occurs. This occurrence results in a slight
interference which may be eliminated by lightly honing
the bore of the bronze. (NOT by reducing the pin
size!). An automotive engine repair shop usually is
equipped with power honing machines capable of
smoothly finishing the bushing bore. Bore of bushing
must be round and free of taper.

After installing the pin, carefully check the

crosshead O.D. to see if it is out-of-round. If so, a
smart blow with a rubber mallet will restore the
crosshead O.D. into its original roundness.
ORDER OF ASSEMBLY
The connecting rod/crosshead assembly is
installed AFTER the assembly of the crankshaft.
The rod and crosshead will pass through the wiper
box wall bore. With the frame in the horizontal
position, load the rods through the cradle.

PINNING THE CROSSHEAD

A pressfit is employed between the crosshead pin
and crosshead to secure the pin against any motion.
A hydraulic press is employed to force the pin thru the
bosses of the crosshead.

WIPER BOX ASSEMBLY
GENERAL

The mechanical seal contains a garter spring.

Check to see that this spring is still properly located
and in its position. The mechanical seal has a metal
case which serves to force the Poly Pak seal into its
cavity, energizing its lips. Apply oil lightly to the bore
of the box before pressing each seal into its
counterbore.

Extension rod wiper boxes (sometimes referred

to as the diaphragm stuffing box, or stripper housing
assembly) serve two important functions: retention of
crankcase oil in the power end, and exclusion of dirt
and water.
Myers/Aplex has developed a unique sealing set
which operates on a hardened and ground stainless
steel extension rod (often called pony rod), and a
rubber baffle disc affording protection against leaking
plunger packing. The seals require no adjustment,
only correct and careful assembly.

INSERTING THE PLUNGER

Insert the integral extension rod plunger through
the fluid end and through the stuffing box. Insert the
extension rod through the wiper seals with the
tapered thread and entering FIRST. Next, install
rubber baffle plate by oiling the extension rod portion
of the plunger. This baffle plate seats into a reduced
diameter next to the knurled shoulder. Care should
be used in moving the male tapered thread through
wiper seals to prevent dislocating the garter spring, or
damaging seal lips.

POLY PAK SEAL

This seal keeps oil from leading out of the power
frame. Developed by the Parker Seal Group, this
patented rod seal, employs a soft nitrile rubber o-ring
to energize a special hard polyurethane Molythane
shell by forcing the inner lip against the rod and the
outer lip against the housing bore, as shown.

STUFFING BOX, PACKING
& PLUNGER ASSEMBLIES

GENERAL
Myers/Aplex pumps all feature field removable
and replaceable stuffing boxes. The SC-30H has
integral extension rods. The plungers may be
removed separately (with-out box removal) to
facilitate re-packing. The integral extension rod type
plunger may be removed by removing the cylinder
head plug and retainer plate allowing the plunger to be
removed through the fluid end, after unscrewing it
from the crosshead. It is not necessary to disturb the
fluid end or piping.

PACKING

SPRING

Spring:
A stiff Inconel spring, which closely fits the bore
of the stuffing box, is used in this assembly. This spring
is compressed in a vise to the operating length
required plus 0.25" and tied with waxed nylon spot tie
cord. The cord is looped over the ends of the spring
through the coils and tied to maintain the length
mention above. Each spring is assembled into the
stuffing box. Note that the spring does not contact the
plunger.
Spring-Guide Ring:
Plungers are heavy and the importance of a wellfitted guide ring which carries this weight is often
overlooked. Discard any guide ring which becomes
worn or scored, as it will then not serve its purpose.
It should fit snugly in the box. Apply oil generously to
this ring.
Spring Loaded Packing:
Three (3) rings of chevron or compression
packing are installed next.For compression packing,
install them with the skive intersections 180 apart to
discourage leaking.
Gland Ring:
This ring also fits the plunger and helps support the
plunger weight. Discard it if bore is worn, rough or
out-of-round. Lightly oil the ring before insertion.

GLAND RING
SPRING GUIDE

HI/LO GLAND ADJUSTABLE PACKING

Note that the gland is screwed tightly onto the box

and contacts its face. The spring is providing all of the
initial compression and adjustment. No adjustment is
provided by the gland.
Since the force exerted by the spring is contingent
on the space provided for it, the correct lengths of all
rings is essential for good tensioning.

REVISED 06/18/02

The Myers/Aplex Hi/Lo adjustable packing was

designed to provide sealing of the plunger in either
high or low pressure operation. The packing is nonlubricated and user adjustable.
The packing begins to wear and leak (liquid
running out of the cradle drain hole) the gland can be
tighted. Tightening will increase packing preload and
will control leakage. Adjustments (with the pump
running) should be in 1/2 to 1/6 of a turn of the gland
nut. There are 6 gland adjustment holes on the nut so
1/2 to 1 hole rotation will be desirable.

INSTALLING THE GLAND

When a bentonite slurry is being pumped, it is
normal for a Putty like material to collect at the
packing plunger interface. This is nothing more than
bentonite with most of the water evaporated. As this
material begins to collect this is the first sign that the
packing could be adjusted. Over tightening will
unnecessarily shorten packing life.

Considerable downward pressure on the gland is

required to compress the spring and to move the
packing into location, and to start the threads of the
box.
Once the gland threads are started, screw it
down completely until it makes up tightly against the
face of the box for spring loaded packing. For Hi/
Lo, J-Style or gland adjusted packing, tighten the
gland until it is seated firmly against the packing.

Myers/Aplex stuffing boxes derive their

cleaned of rust, scale, and dirt before assembly is
begun. Wash all contacting surfaces with clean
solvent and dry with a CLEAN shop towel.
A nitrile rubber seal is used to seal between the
face of the fluid end (must be flat, clean and smooth)
and the face of the box. Replace if damaged.
The fluid end is retained on the power end by two
socket head cap screws. No dowel pins or other
alignment techniques are needed since the power
frame provides alignment to the stuffing boxes
individually. These two screws should be tightened
before the stuffing boxes. The torque value should be
as follows:

The Hi/Lo packing is totally retrofitable to existing

Initial gland tightening should be 2 to 2 1/4
turns past hand tight. If there is a grease fitting in the
stuffing box, remove it, use a 1/8 pipe plug and plug
the hole. (Caution, make sure the plug does not
protrude down into the ID of the stuffing box. If the
plug is too long grind off the end and try again.)
INSERTING THE PLUNGER

All stuffing boxes are retained by large bolts which

extend through the liquid end, serving to clamp the
box tightly against the fluid end face.
Using a socket extension, and torque wrench,
tighten clean, well-oiled threads and nut faces as
follows:
Long Screws 1/2-11UNC @ 50 Ft.Lb.

Apply oil liberally to plunger O.D. and lightly tap

it through the packing. When introducing the plunger
through the SC-30H stuffing boxes, also apply oil
liberally to the O.D. of each integral extension rod to
allow easy passage through the wiper box seals.
A soft rubber mallet is recommended to avoid
any damage to the plunger face or its threads.
Remembering: The fragile nature of packing rings,
and plunger surfaces deserve your respect and
avoidance of careless damage to these key elements!

Plungers in CO2, ethane, or other very cold liquid

services may use brake fluid. This fluid does not
congeal into a solid which cannot enter the packing.
Consider the use of an air-sealed cradle into which
dry (instrument) air may be directed, excluding the
moisture which causes plunger icing especially in very
humid conditions.

Failure to fully and evenly tighten these studs (or

cap screws) can lead to early failure, plunger misalignment and failure, and short packing life.
Retighten after 500 hours of operation.

CONNECTING THE PLUNGER

Install the rubber baffle on to the integral extension
rod, sliding it against the knurled shoulder of the
plunger. Roll the pump crankshaft slowly until the
plunger male threads touch the mating female threads
in the crosshead.
Applying a pipe wrench to plunger knurled area,
thoroughly tighten the connection. Do NOT use a
cheater when connecting plunger to extension rod.
(Serves no useful purpose, and may damage the
connection!)
PACKING
Packing life for Aramid fiber packing may be
improved, in some applications by regular,
systematic lubrication. An optional force feed
lubricator assembly is often recommended especially
for pumps on continuous duty. This provides regular,
controlled supply of lubricant lowering friction and
heat.
Additionally, the regular application of the correct
lubricant aids dissolving of salt and gyp tending to
build up on the plungers in produced water
applications. For this service, Rock Drill Lubricant is
a popular and effective packing lubricant.

REVISED 06/18/02

24

Packing lubricant for pumps on light hydrocarbons, hot water, lean oil, naphtha, or gasoline often
require experimentation.
A good start is to use steam cylinder oil. Castor
oil is sometimes successful as a packing lubrication
for liquid propane and butane services, at ambient
temperature.
In pumps placed in arctic service, a special low
pour point oil is indicated.
Packing lubrication is not permitted on some
services, such an amine, food stuffs, etc. and other
packing styles and materials may be required.
PLUNGERS
Myers/Aplex offers its own unique product: the
Myers/Aplex Rokide plunger. This premier quality
plunger consists of a chromium-oxide deposition on
a solid stainless steel body.
Ordinary handling will not damage this fine
product. Avoid striking the coated surface(black)
during installation. Apply light forces only on the ends
of the plunger. Do not hammer or pry.
All threads on Myers/Aplex plungers must be
CLEAN
and oiled before assembly. Stainless steel (although very corrosion resistant) has a
tendency to gall and seize. To avoid this, an antiseizing lubricant is well worth its use. Apply oil to the
threads.
Myers/Aplex can supply solid ceramic plungers
on order. This plunger is very fragile, vulnerable to
thermal and mechanical shock, and must be handled
with the greatest care. Use only a rubber mallet to
insert it into the packing. Other plunger types are
available upon request.

Access to these seat threads is provided by the
removal of the valve cage on D.S.G. valves or the
spring retainer on Disc valves which is screwed onto
the seat. An anti-seizing lubricant applied to all
threads is good insurance against future difficulty.
SETTING THE VALVE SEAT
Effective pressure-sealing between tapered
(male) seat, and tapered (female) fluid end deck is
possible ONLY if the tapers are absolutely clean and
dry just prior to installation. Thoroughly clean
surfaces using a clean solvent. Dry with a CLEAN
