It is recommended that the services of a Ruhrpumpen installation technician be employed for the installation
and initial starting of the pump. Such service will help to ensure the user that the equipment is properly
installed,andwillprovideanexcellentopportunityfortheplantoperatortoreceiveusefultipsandguidelines
relative to the unit. The tools and/or equipment referenced in this manual are not supplied by Ruhrpumpen
unlessspecificallyordered.Thispumpdesigncanbeservicedwithstandardmaintenancetools.
Instructions in this manual are written for trained, experienced technicians who are familiar with the basic
principles and tools involved in the installation, care and service of a pump and who, as part of their trade
education have acquired the ability to interpret and follow the detailed specifications required for such
installation,care,andservice.Successfuloperationoftheunitisdependentoncarefulstudyofthemanualand

A complete reading of this manual by personnel in contact with the pump is essential to safety. Incorrect
installation, operation or maintenance can result in personal injury or death to personnel and damage to the
pumpandplant.
Before performing any service function be certain that the unit is separate from its power source or that the
powersourceislockedouttopreventanyformofenergyfromenteringtheequipment.
Contact with hot surfaces of the pump can cause severe burns. Care must be taken where such surfaces are
exposed.Caremustalsobetakentopreventignitionofflammablefluidsorothermaterial.

1.1INTRODUCTION
Ruhrpumpen pumps of type CPP are centrifugal pumps of the horizontal, vertically (radially) split case, foot
mounted heavyduty construction with an overhung impeller, and are designed to meet the requirements of
ANSI/ASME B73.1 2001. These pumps are designed for continuous duty pumping of various fluids with
combinations of metallurgical, mechanical, and installation features for application in water, chemical and
industrialservice.

Inthefollowingpages,alignmentproceduresareexplainedwithdialindicators.Laseralignmentisalsopossible.
The specific method in laser alignment will depend on the manufacturers instructions; however, the basic

A.ALIGNMENTOFEQUIPMENT
Correct alignment is mandatory for the successful operation of rotating equipment. A flexible coupling is no
excuse for misalignment. The relationship between shaft centerlines can easily be determined by 1) two step
dialindicatormethod,2)reverseindicatoralignment,3)acrossthediscpackalignment.Thesecanallbesolved
byagraphicalapproach.Thisprocedurewilldiscussmethods2and3.Method1iscoveredinRexnord'sManual
MTSS04001, "Two Step Dial Indicator Method". Before we get into this alignment procedure, several items
shouldbeconsideredatthispoint.
1.IndicatorSetUp
No matter what arrangement you use, indicator sag must be determined. This can easily be determined by
clamping the setup onto a rigid piece of pipe, rolling the indicator from top to bottom, and reading the
difference. Once the indicator sag setup has been determined, this number can be algebraically subtracted
from the alignment readings obtain at the bottom. There is no need to be concerned about the side to side
readingsasthesagisequalonbothsides.

Toperformthemaintenanceofthepump,nospecial(custommade)toolsareneeded.

Before initiating maintenance procedures disconnect all power sources to the
equipment and discharge any parts which may retain an electric charge. Use
properlockstoavoidaccidentalstartupofthepumpsystem.Failuretocomply
mayresultinseverepersonalinjury.

When performing the maintenance of the pump, use the safety equipment
appropriate for the pumped fluid, materials, and location of the equipment,
such as gloves, safety glasses, harnesses and other equipment regarded as
mandatorybytheplantssafetyinstructions.
