Safety
WARNING:
• The operator must be aware of the pumpage and take appropriate safety precautions
to prevent physical injury.
0 Risk of serious injury or death. If any pressure-containing device is over-pressurized, it
can explode, rupture, or discharge its contents. It is critical to take all necessary
measures to avoid over-pressurization.
1 Risk of death, serious personal injury, and property damage. Installing, operating, or
maintaining the unit using any method not prescribed in this manual is prohibited.
Prohibited methods include any modification to the equipment or use of parts not
provided by ITT. If there is any uncertainty regarding the appropriate use of the
equipment, please contact an ITT representative before proceeding.
2 Risk of serious personal injury. Applying heat to impellers, propellers, or their retaining
devices can cause trapped liquid to rapidly expand and result in a violent explosion. This
manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods
must be adhered to. Never apply heat to aid in their removal unless explicitly stated in
this manual.
3 If the pump or motor is damaged or leaking, electric shock, fire, explosion, liberation of
toxic fumes, physical harm, or environmental damage may result. Do not operate the
unit until the problem has been corrected or repaired.
4 Risk of serious personal injury or property damage. Dry running may cause rotating
parts within the pump to seize to non-moving parts. Do not run dry.
5 Risk of death, serious personal injury, and property damage. Heat and pressure
buildup can cause explosion, rupture, and discharge of pumpage. Never operate the
pump with suction and/or discharge valves closed.
6 Running a pump without safety devices exposes operators to risk of serious personal
injury or death. Never operate a unit unless appropriate safety devices (guards, etc.)
are properly installed. See specific information about safety devices in other sections of

for specific instructions and recommendations.
Alignment checks
When to perform alignment checks
You must perform alignment checks under these circumstances:
The process temperature changes.
The piping changes.
The pump has been serviced.
When dial indicators are used to check the final alignment, the pump and drive unit
are correctly aligned when these conditions are true:
The Total Indicated Reading (T.I.R.) is at 0.05 mm | 0.002 in. or less at operating
temperature.
The tolerance of the indicator is 0.0127 mm per mm | 0.0005 in. per in. of indicator
separation for the reverse dial indicator or laser method when the pump and driver are
at operating temperature.
Cold settings for parallel vertical alignment
Introduction
This section shows the recommended preliminary (cold) settings for electric motor-driven
pumps based on different temperatures of pumped fluid. Consult driver manufacturers for
recommended cold settings for other types of drivers such as steam turbines and engines.
NOTICE:
The specified permitted reading values are valid only at operating temperature. For cold
settings, other values are permitted. The correct tolerances must be used. Failure to do
so can result in misalignment.
NOTICE:
The specified permitted reading values are valid only at operating temperature. For cold
settings, other values are permitted. The correct tolerances must be used. Failure to do so
can result in misalignment.
A unit is in parallel alignment when the parallel indicator (P) does not vary by more than
0.05 mm | 0.002 in. as measured at four points 90° apart at the operating temperature.
Set the parallel alignment indicator (P) to zero on the left side of the driver coupling half (Y),
90° from the top-center position (9 o’clock).
Rotate the indicator through the top-center position to the right side, 180° from the start
position (3 o’clock).
Record the indicator reading.
When the reading value is... Then...
Negative The driver coupling half (Y) is to the left of the pump coupling
half (X).
Positive The driver coupling half (Y) is to the right of the pump coupling
half (X).
Slide the driver carefully in the appropriate direction. Make sure to slide the driver evenly.
Failure to do so can negatively affect horizontal angular correction.
NOTICE:
The specified permitted reading values are valid only at operating temperature. For cold
settings, other values are permitted. The correct tolerances must be used. Failure to do
so can result in misalignment.

Intended use
The C-face adapter is a device that attaches the pump to the drive unit to minimize the
axial and radial play between the two coupling halves.
Illustration
Alignment requirements
When you use a C-face adapter, you do not have to align the shaft. The rabbeted fit of the
drive unit to the adapter and the adapter to the bearing housing automatically align the shafts
to within the specified limits.
Specified limits
A C-face adapter can attain a nominal alignment of 0.18mm | 0.007 in. Total Indicated Runout
(T.I.R.). However, because of the stack-up of the machining tolerances of the various parts,
the alignment can be as high as 0.38mm | 0.015 inches TIR. Use of a flexible coupling with an
elastomeric insert is required to maintain acceptable pump and motor life when using a c-face
adapter.
If high reliability (with shaft alignments of less than 0.05mm | 0.002 in.) is required for the
pump, use a foot-mounted drive unit on a precision-machined baseplate and perform a
conventional alignment.

Precautions
WARNING:
Risk of premature failure. Casing deformation can result in misalignment and contact with
rotating parts, causing excess heat generation and sparks. Flange loads from the piping
system, including those from the thermal expansion of the piping, must not exceed the limits
of the pump.
NOTICE:
Vary the capacity with the regulating valve in the discharge line. Never throttle the flow from
the suction side. This action can result in decreased performance, unexpected heat
generation, and equipment damage.
Piping guidelines
Guidelines for piping are given in the Hydraulic Institute Standards available from the
Hydraulic Institute at 9 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, NJ 07054-3802. You must review this
document before you install the pump.

Precautions
NOTICE:
Excessive warm-up rates can cause equipment damage. Ensure the warm-up rate does
not exceed 1.4°C | 2.5°F per minute.
When a cartridge mechanical seal is used, ensure that the set screws in the seal locking
ring are tightened and that the centering clips have been removed prior to startup. This
prevents seal or shaft sleeve damage by ensuring that the seal is properly installed
and centered on the sleeve.
You must follow these precautions before you start the pump:
Flush and clean the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system in order
to prevent premature failure at initial startup.
Bring variable-speed drivers to the rated speed as quickly as possible.
Run a new or rebuilt pump at a speed that provides enough flow to flush and cool the
close-running surfaces of the stuffing-box bushing.
If temperatures of the pumped fluid will exceed 93°C | 200°F, then warm up the pump prior to
operation. Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing temperature
is within 38°C | 100°F of the fluid temperature. Accomplish this by flowing fluid from pump
inlet to discharge drain (optionally, the casing vent can be included in warm-up circuit but
not required). Soak for (2) hours at process fluid temperature.
At initial startup, do not adjust the variable-speed drivers or check for speed governor or
over-speed trip settings while the variable-speed driver is coupled to the pump. If the
settings have not been verified, then uncouple the unit and refer to instructions supplied by
the driver manufacturer.

Bearing lubrication
WARNING:
Risk of explosive hazard and premature failure from sparks and heat generation.
Ensure bearings are properly lubricated prior to startup.
NOTICE:
Grease can settle in equipment left idle leaving bearings improperly lubricated. Check
the greasing on a pump that has been out of service for a long period of time and re-
grease if necessary.
Pumps are shipped without oil. You must lubricate oil-lubricated bearings at the job site.
Grease-lubricated bearings are lubricated at the factory.
The bearing manufacturer fills greased-for-life bearings with grease and seals them at
the factory. You do not need to lubricate or seal these bearings.
Oil volumes

Lubricating-oil requirements
Oil requirements based on temperature
For the majority of operating conditions, bearing temperatures run between 49°C | 120°F and 82°C |
180°F, and you can use an oil of ISO viscosity grade 68 at 38°C | 100°F. If temperatures exceed 82°C
| 180°F, refer to the table for temperature requirements.
Temperature Oil requirement
Bearing temperatures exceed 82°C | 180°F Use ISO viscosity grade 100 with bearing-frame
cooling or finned-tube oil cooler. The finned-tube oil
cooler is standard with the HT 3196 model and
optional for all other models.
Pumped-fluid temperatures exceed 177°C | 350°F Use synthetic lubrication.
Shaft-sealing options
In most cases, the manufacturer seals the shaft before shipping the pump. If your pump
does not have a sealed shaft, see the Shaft-seal maintenance section in the Maintenance
chapter. This model uses these types of shaft seals:
Cartridge mechanical seal
Conventional inside-component mechanical seal
Conventional outside-component mechanical seal
Dynamic seal
Packed-stuffing-box option
The factory does not install the packing, lantern ring, or split gland.
These parts are included with the pump in the box of fittings. Before you start the pump,
you must install the packing, lantern ring, and split gland according to the Packed stuffing
box maintenance section in the Maintenance chapter.
Dynamic-seal option
WARNING:
Dynamic seals are not allowed in an ATEX-classified environment.
Prime the pump with the suction supply above the pump
Slowly open the suction isolation valve.
Open the air vents on the suction and discharge piping until the pumped fluid flows out.
Close the air vents.
Prime the pump with the suction supply below the pump
Use a foot valve and an outside source of liquid in order to prime the pump. The liquid
can come from one of these sources:
0 A priming pump
1 A pressurized discharge line
2 Another outside supply
Close the discharge isolation valve.
Open the air vent valves in the casing.
Open the valve in the outside supply line until only liquid escapes from the vent valves.
Close the vent valves.

When the condition monitor measures a reading beyond the specified temperature and
vibration limits, the appropriate red LED flashes. After the process or pump condition that
causes the alarm is corrected, the condition monitor returns to normal mode after one
normal-level measurement.
Alarm mode
When the condition monitor is in alarm mode, you should investigate the cause of the
condition and make necessary corrections in a timely manner.
NOTICE:
Vary the capacity with the regulating valve in the discharge line. Never throttle the flow
from the suction side. This action can result in decreased performance, unexpected
heat generation, and equipment damage.
Risk of equipment damage from unexpected heat generation. Do not overload the driver.
Ensure that the pump operating conditions are suitable for the driver. The driver can
overload in these circumstances:
0 The specific gravity or viscosity of the fluid is greater than expected
1 The pumped fluid exceeds the rated flow rate.
Make sure to operate the pump at or near the rated conditions. Failure to do so can result
in pump damage from cavitation or recirculation.
WARNING:
• Risk of breach of containment and equipment damage. Excessive vibration levels can
cause damage to bearings, stuffing box, seal chamber, and/or mechanical seal.
Observe pump for vibration levels, bearing temperature, and excessive noise. If normal
levels are exceeded, shut down and resolve.
Risk of explosion and serious physical injury. Do not operate pump with blocked system
piping or with suction or discharge valves closed. This can result in rapid heating and
vaporization of pumpage.
Risk of equipment damage and serious physical injury. Heat build-up can cause rotating
parts to score or seize. Observe pump for excessive heat build-up. If normal levels are
exceeded, shut down and resolve.
NOTICE:
Cavitation can cause damage to the internal surfaces of the pump. Ensure net positive
suction head available (NPSHA) always exceeds NPSH required (NPSH3) as shown on the
published performance curve of the pump.
NOTICE:
Do not expose an idle pump to freezing conditions. Drain all liquid that is inside the pump and
any auxiliary equipment. Failure to do so can cause liquid to freeze and damage the pump.

Check the level and condition of the oil through the sight glass on the bearing frame.
Check for unusual noise, vibration, and bearing temperatures.
Check the pump and piping for leaks.
Analyze the vibration.
Inspect the discharge pressure.
Inspect the temperature.
Check the seal chamber and stuffing box for leaks.
0 Ensure that there are no leaks from the mechanical seal.
1 Adjust or replace the packing in the stuffing box if you notice excessive leaking.
Three-month inspections
Perform these tasks every three months:
Check that the foundation and the hold-down bolts are tight.
Check the packing if the pump has been left idle, and replace as required.
Change the oil every three months (2000 operating hours) at minimum.
0 Change the oil more often if there are adverse atmospheric or other conditions
that might contaminate or break down the oil.
Check the shaft alignment, and realign as required.
Annual inspections
Perform these inspections one time each year:
Check the pump capacity.
Check the pump pressure.
Check the pump power.
If the pump performance does not satisfy your process requirements, and the
process requirements have not changed, then perform these steps:
Disassemble the pump.
Inspect it.
Bearing maintenance
These bearing lubrication sections list different temperatures of the pumped fluid. If
the pump is ATEX-certified and the temperature of the pumped fluid exceeds the
permitted temperature values, then consult your ITT representative.
Lubricating-oil requirements
Oil requirements based on temperature
For the majority of operating conditions, bearing temperatures run between 49°C | 120°F and 82°C |
180°F, and you can use an oil of ISO viscosity grade 68 at 38°C | 100°F. If temperatures exceed 82°C
| 180°F, refer to the table for temperature requirements.
Temperature Oil requirement
Bearing temperatures exceed 82°C | 180°F Use ISO viscosity grade 100 with bearing-frame
cooling or finned-tube oil cooler. The finned-tube oil
cooler is standard with the HT 3196 model and
optional for all other models.
Pumped-fluid temperatures exceed 177°C | 350°F Use synthetic lubrication.

XLT-i and i17 3000 3 96
The bearing temperature usually rises after you regrease due to an excess supply of
grease. Temperatures return to normal in about two to four operating hours as the pump
runs and purges the excess grease from the bearings.
Lubricating-grease requirements
Precautions
NOTICE:
Avoid equipment damage or decreased performance. Never mix greases of different
consistencies (NLGI 1 or 3 with NLGI 2) or with different thickeners. For example, never
mix a lithium-based grease with a polyurea based grease. If it is necessary to change
the grease type or consistency, remove the rotor and old grease from the housing
before regreasing.
Bearing temperature
Bearing temperatures are generally about 18°C | 20°F greater than bearing-housing outer
surface temperatures.
This table shows the type of grease required for the operating temperature of the pump.
Bearing temperature Type of grease
-15°C to 110°C | 5°F to 230°F Use a lithium-based mineral-oil grease with a con-
sistency of NLGI 2.
Exceed 177°C | 350°F Use a high-temperature grease. Mineral-oil greases
should have oxidation stabilizers and a consistency
of NGLI 3.
Mechanical-seal maintenance
WARNING:
The mechanical seal used in an Ex-classified environment must be properly certified.
CAUTION:
Running a mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal failure and
physical injury. Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to the mechanical seal.
Reference drawing
The manufacturer supplies a reference drawing with the data package. Keep this drawing
for future use when you perform maintenance and seal adjustments. The seal drawing
specifies the required flush fluid and attachment points.
Adjustment of gland
Adjust the gland if the leakage rate is greater than or less than the specified rate.
Evenly adjust each of the two gland bolts with a one-quarter (1/4) turn until the desired leakage
rate is obtained. Tighten the bolts to decrease the rate. Loosen the bolts to increase the rate.
Tightening of packing
NOTICE: Never over-tighten packing to the point where less than one drop per second is
observed. Over-tightening can cause excessive wear and power consumption during
opera-tion.
If you cannot tighten the packing to obtain less than the specified leakage rate, then replace
the packing.
Dynamic-seal maintenance
WARNING:
Dynamic seals are not allowed in an ATEX-classified environment.
Repeller
The dynamic repeller prevents pumpage leaks through the stuffing box when the
pump operates under published acceptable conditions.
Static seal
A static seal prevents leakage when the pump is shut down. A static seal is either of
the following:
a lip seal
an elastomeric-face seal
graphite packing
The only maintenance that the lip seal and the elastomeric-face seal require is
replacement when leakage becomes excessive.
The graphite packing should be installed as stuffing-box packing and is designed to run dry.
Disassembly precautions
WARNING:
• Risk of serious physical injury or death from rapid depressurization. Ensure pump is
isolated from system and pressure is relieved before disassembling pump,
removing plugs, opening vent or drain valves, or disconnecting piping.
Risk of serious personal injury. Applying heat to impellers, propellers, or their retaining
devices can cause trapped liquid to rapidly expand and result in a violent explosion. This
manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods
must be adhered to. Never apply heat to aid in their removal unless explicitly stated in
this manual.
Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power may result in serious physical injury or
death. Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any
installation or maintenance tasks.
0 Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with
all international, national, state, and local rules.
1 Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals (IOM)
for specific instructions and recommendations.
Handling heavy equipment poses a crush hazard. Use caution during handling and wear
appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, such as steel-toed shoes, gloves,
etc.) at all times.
Precautions must be taken to prevent physical injury. The pump may handle hazardous and/or
toxic fluids. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn. Pumpage must be
handled and disposed of in conformance with applicable environmental regulations.
Risk of serious personal injury from exposure to hazardous or toxic liquids. A small amount
of liquid will be present in certain areas like the seal chamber upon disassembly.
