CAUTION/WARNING PAGE
CAUTION: Single port impellers (food pumps) have threaded shafts. Improper rotation will cause failure.
WARNING: Never operate electric motors or pumps without protective cover, etc. Before disconnecting any
electrical wiring, shut off the main switch, or serious personal injury may result.
CAUTION: If pumpage does not start immediately, no amount of additional pumping will solve the problem.
WARNING: Do not run pumps equipped with mechanical seal dry.
WARNING: Failure to follow instructions on this may damage pump or cause serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not operate pump when at test pressure.
CAUTION: For mechanical seal only. Do not run dry.
CAUTION: Lockscrew failure can damage impeller and volute. Proper torque during installation is important.
CAUTION: All rotating parts should be properly protected. Guards should be installed. Do not operate pumps
when the guards are removed.
CAUTION: Do not run pump dry unless pump is equipped with Run-Dry option.
CAUTION: Once the rotating portion has been placed on the shaft, the rest of the installation must be made at
once.

CAUTION: All engine driven pumps must be supported and alignment must be assured before bolting frame to
engine flywheel housing.
STARTUP CHECKLIST
BEFORE THE STARTUP OF ANY PUMP, A CAREFUL CHECK MUST BE MADE TO ENSURE THAT ALL IS IN ORDER
CAUTION
Food Pumps (single port impellers) have threaded shafts. Improper rotation will cause failure
and costly repairs.
3. Check the valves for proper position. If the system has a discharge gate valve, start with valve closed.
The speed of opening depends upon the size and length of your discharge pipe and capacity of the pump.
The valve should not be more than .25" open until the line is filled. The purpose of this procedure is to
reduce the possibility of a water hammer or shock if filling is too rapid.
4. For Stuffing Box with Packing
When first starting the pump, there should be a leakage. If the packing is too loose, air will suck in
around the packing and the pump will not prime. After the pump is primed, back off on packing gland
nuts to free leakage. Several minutes later, gradually and evenly tighten packing gland nuts until
leakage is reduced to a trickle. Do not attempt to shut off all the leakage.
For Stuffing Box with Mechanical Seal
Read and comply with all seal instructions within manual. During shipment a seal may be jolted, which
could cause leakage. However, any leak should stop after a brief period of operation.
5. Instructions For Pumps with Balance Line and Wear Rings
Wear rings and balance lines are vital for a successful pump operation. They perform two important
functions. First, they reduce the pressure at the stuffing box. Second, they reduce axial thrust loads.
Wear rings should be replaced if the clearance has increased to about .03" per side. Balance lines should
be kept free of obstructions and they should be replaced if they are pinched, bent, or corroded.
6. Motors
Check the power supply voltage, amperage, temperature and RPM with the motor nameplate. Review
item 2E with respect to rotation.
NOTE: Large motors must not be started and stopped more than five times per hour.
CAUTION
Whether placed inside our outside, the motor should be mounted on a base four to six inches
higher than surrounding floor level.
WARNING
Never operate electric motors or pump equipment without all protective covers, screens and
guards properly in place. Before disconnecting any electrical wiring, shut off the main
switch and lock it out.
8. Check to make sure the screens are in place. A screen or strainer should have a free opening at least
three times the area of the suction pipe.
9. Start the driver. If primed or filled with liquid, the pumping will start immediately.
Cornell Centrifugal Pump Priming
A centrifugal pump is primed when all the internal passages of the pump are filled with the liquid to be
pumped. Do not operate any pump without being properly primed unless it has been specifically
designed for such operation.
When the pump is primed and the unit is started, the pumpage will start to flow immediately. If it does
not, recheck the system for complete prime and possible air leaks. Correct the deficiencies and restart.
CAUTION
If the pumpage does not start immediately, no amount of additional pumping will solve the
problem.
INSTRUCTIONS
ALIGNMENT OF FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS AND BELT DRIVES
It is not commercially feasible to furnish bed plates which, when placed on an uneven foundation, will not
spring and cause misalignment. It is, therefore, necessary to support them on foundations that can furnish the
required regidity.
Misalignment causes whipping of the shaft, adds thrust to bearings, leads to excessive maintenance and
potential failure of equipment. It is imperative that alignment be carefully checked prior to placing pump in
operation. This is done after securing to bed plate or foundation and making pipe connections.
Flexible couplings must permit some lateral floating of the shaft to take care of thermal expansion and so move
without excessive thrust on bearings.
Numerous types of flexible couplings are available. Some are easier to align than others, but all serve the
purpose of connecting two shafts capable of transmitting torque while allowing for minor misalignment
(angular, parallel or a combination).
DO NOT assume the word flexible means the couplings are designed for misalignment. Couplings can be lined
up by use of a straight edge, inside caliper, thickness gauge or outside caliper. The two ends of the couplings
must be concentric and the sides parallel with no angular misalignment.

7. Run drive at full speed and adjust take-up until only slight bow appears in slack side of belts. Vertical
drives, drives with extremely short centers, and drives carrying pulsating loads must be operated tighter than
others.
Never use belt dressing.
8. Give belts a few days running time to become seated in sheave grooves, then readjust take-up.
9. Store belts in clean, cool, dark place.
WARNING
All rotating parts should be properly protected. Guards should be installed to prevent the operator from
coming in contact with shafts, drives, or other rotating elements. Do not operate pumps when the guards are
removed.
PRESSURE TESTING
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE PUMP WHEN AT TEST PRESSURE
WARNING: Failure to follow instructions may damage pump and/or result in serious personal injury.
TEST FLUID
Liquid may be pumpage or water or any liquid compatible with pump materials.
For pumps equipped with packing:
a. Fill pump gradually with liquid by gravity flow (10 PSI max. pressure).
b. Vent air from volute and close vent valve.
c. Raise pressure gradually to required test pressure. See “Maximum Test Pressure.”
d. Allow packing to leak freely (special protection of motor may be necessary).
e. If packing is tightened to reduce leakage, lubricant may be squeezed out of packing. Loss of packing

STATIONARY
SEAT
The location of the mechanical seal in your pump is shown in the cross-section drawing of the pump. The
stationary seat is held in the backplate. All other parts of the seal rotate with the shaft and impeller.
STARTING
The seal chamber must be full of liquid before operating the pump. If the shaft is vertical open the vent until
liquid comes out to be sure chamber is full (not necessary for pumps with Cycloseal as seal chamber is self-
venting). CAUTION: DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY unless pump is equipped with Run-Dry option.
MAINTENANCE
No maintenance is required. However, the pump should be examined at regular intervals for leakage resulting
from wear of the sealing faces. Occasionally new installations will leak for a short time. These must be
inspected daily. If the leakage does not reduce to almost zero, the assembly should be examined for proper seal
installation.
If seal is to be removed, remove the impeller according to the instructions for dismantling the pump. The
rotating portion of the seal may now be seen. Slide off the seal spring. Lubricate the shaft and remove the
reminder of the rotating portion being careful to avoid damaging the primary seal. The rubber bellows will be
firmly attached to the shaft and considerable pressure will be required to remove it.
REMOVING SEAT
If the seal is being replaced, remove gland and press out the stationary seat. For pumps with double seals
remove the seat from the stuffing box also.
INSTALLING THE MECHANICAL SEAL
Clean all parts of the pump before starting reassembly. Special attention should be given to the backplate and
the impeller hub.
- Clean and lubricate the shaft.
- Install the stationary seat in the backplate.
- Oil the outer surface of the seat and the “O” ring with a light oil (not grease). Place a cardboard disc on the
sealing face to avoid damage. Press the seat into the gland or stuffing box using firm steady pressure. Make
sure the seat is all the way in. Slide the gland with the gasket over the shaft.
- Wipe the lapped sealing faces of the seat and the primary seal perfectly clean. Use extreme care to avoid
marking the sealing face or the primary seal. Slide the rotating portion of the seal, including spring on the
shaft.
CAUTION: Once the rotating portion has been placed on the shaft, the rest of the installation must be made at
once. Delay may result in the rubber bellows seizing on the shaft in the wrong position.
Install the impeller. For pumps with Cycloseal, be sure that the spring slides over the impeller hub and pushes
against the backshroud of the impeller (on some Cycloseal models, a spring retainer or spacer is used to hold the
spring. Refer to pump sectional drawing)

Lubrication
Do not lubricate impeller lockscrew or tapped hole or between the lockscrew and the impeller washer or
between the impeller washer and the impeller. Make sure parts are clean and dry; however, it is not necessary
to remove the protective coating from the screw. Lubricated bolts can be overstressed with the torques
indicated.
DO NOT USE LOCKSCREW TO INSTALL THE IMPELLER
CAUTION
If adding a new packing ring to an old packing does not reduce the leakage to an acceptable level, remove the
old packing completely. Inspect the shaft sleeve. Installing new packing against a worn sleeve will not give
satisfactory service.
To remove packing, twist two packing pullers (see drawing 3200-401) into the exposed packing ring 1800 apart.
Next pull ring out of the stuffing box cavity. Pull subsequent exposed packing ring until all rings are removed.
The lantern ring has two holes 1800 apart and it can be removed with the same two packing pullers.
Before installing packing into the box, insert the packing gland to make sure it enters freely to the full depth of
the gland.
Make sure that each ring is cut square on a mandrel of correct size and length and insert each ring of packing
separately, pushing it squarely into the box. Successive rings of packing should be rotated so the points are
1200 apart. Install lantern ring (if required) in proper position to the packing rings as shown on the parts page.
Install packing gland so that it just begins to enter the stuffing box without cocking and so the full packing is
under uniform pressure. Tighten the gland only enough to draw the necessary vacuum for priming. Start the
pump with the gland loose so there will be initial leakage. Tighten up slightly and evenly on the gland nuts at
15 or 20-minute intervals so leakage is reduced to a trickle. Do not stop leakage completely.
If your pump has a lantern ring and grease cup for lubricating the packing it will contain “Insoluble pump and
packing lubricant.” This compound reduces friction and prolongs the life of the graphited packing. Do not use
standard multi-purpose grease. It will wash out the graphite particles, increase friction and heat. Refill grease
cup with “Insoluble pump and packing lubricant” as required. If you’re repacking a pump, apply a liberal
coating of this compound to all surfaces of the packing before installing each ring. Replenish grease cup as
required.
To lubricate electric motor bearings, use a hand-operated grease gun only. Pump grease into fitting until new
grease appears at pressure relief plug. For minimum possibility of over-greasing, and for best results, lubricate
when the motor is not running.
Bearings will become unusually hot until excess grease escapes from the relief plug.
End of season: Pump in grease until old grease is expelled from relief plug. Store.
Beginning of season: Start up motor. Let motor run until surplus grease is expelled.

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
GREASE LUBRICATED FRAME PUMPS
If frame is oil lubricated (denoted by a ‘K’ on the serial number plate and view gauge on side of frame), see
“Lubrication Instructions – Oil Lubricated Frame Pumps,” page 3200-902.
Bearing in all frames are greased at the factory before shipment.
Lubrication requirements vary with speed, power, load, ambient temperatures, exposure to contamination and
moisture, seasonal or continuous operation and other factors. The brief recommendations which follow are
general in nature and must be coupled with good judgement and consideration of the application conditions.
For regreasing periods refer to table below. When adding grease be sure the grease and fittings are absolutely
clean.
Grease used for these bearings should be equivalent to one of the following manufacturer’s products:
G.E. Long Life Grease No. D682C5
Mobil Mobilux No. EP2
Shell Alvania EP2
Texaco Multifak AFB 2
To lubricate frame bearings, remove plastic cover from zerk fittings and be sure the fitting and end of grease
gun are clean. Use hand-operated grease gun only and pump a small amount of grease into each bearing cavity.
The surplus grease will go through the bearing and into the center part of the frame.
For regreasing periods and approximate quantity, refer to table below.
First determine frame size (located on serial number plate).

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
OIL LUBRICATED FRAME PUMPS
If frame is grease lubricated, see “Lubrication Instructions – Grease Lubricated Frame Pumps,” page 3200-902.
The ball bearings are lubricated by the oil in the frame housing.
Add oil through the pipe plug opening at the top of the housing and fill to the level indicated on the side of the
housing.
Be careful to keep out dirt and moisture. The oil level must be maintained; check and fill when pump is not
operating.
The type and grade of oil used is very important for maintenance-free operation.
Oil used should be a turbine oil equivalent to one of the following manufacturer’s products:
If checking oil temperature is not feasible, measure the bearing frame temperature at the drain connection.
In general, the bearing frame temperature will be approximately 100F lower than the oil temperature.
Oil recommendation is based on a minimum of 70 SSU at operating temperature.
All oil-filled frames will have lip seals in their bearing covers. All lip seals must be lubricated through the
grease fittings placed in the bearing cover at either end of the frame. Lubricate with a small amount of
multiple-purpose grease after every two to six months, depending upon environment.
3. Remove capscrews from drive end bearing cover and pump end bracket. F5 frames for the Nautilus pumps
have a single lip seal at the drive end and a labyrinth seal in the bracket at the pump end. If the lip seal is to
be saved, the shaft should be cleared of burrs or sharp protrusions which would cut the seal. If the seals are
removed or replaced, see parts page for orientation of the lip. Slide the bearing cover and bracket off the
shaft. Remove the wavespring.
4. The shaft and bearings can now be removed by pressing on the drive end of the shaft.
5. Remove bearings from the shaft with a bearing puller. If the bearings are to be saved, keep them absolutely
clean. If contaminated, wash only in clean fluid.
CAUTION: Never hammer the shaft or parts attached to the shaft or you will ruin both the shaft and the
bearings.
Assembly:
1. Press the drive end and pump end bearings onto the shaft.
2. Press the shaft into the frame through the drive end until the pump end bearing is approximately flush with
the pump end of the housing.
3. Place the wavespring over the drive end of the shaft, and position it against the drive end bearing.
4. Slide the bracket over the shfat, and bolt the bracket in place. Tighten the bracket bolts so that the bracket
comes up against the frame face, metal to metal. Torque to 30 foot pounds.
5. Install the drive end lip seal into the bearing cover. Place gasket on drive end bearing cover and slide
bearing cover over shaft, taking care not to damage the lip seal. Bolt the bearing cover down.
6. Replace the deflectors and lubricate per manual page 3200-901 or 3200-902.
