STARTUP CHECKLIST

BEFORE THE STARTUP OF ANY PUMP, A CAREFUL CHECK MUST BE MADE TO ENSURE THAT ALL IS IN ORDER

1. Reread all instructions and check for compliance on each point.


2. Make sure:
a. Belts and couplings (shaft) are properly adjusted, aligned, and guards are in place.
b. All thrust blocks and supports are adequate.
c. The pump and/or baseplate is bolted securely to a solid foundation. There must be no piping loads
on the pump casing, support suction or discharge piping, and piping must be clean and free of debris
and obstruction, gaskets in place and all joints secure.
d. That all electrical connections and electrical equipment are installed by a qualified and
licensed electrical contractor.
e. The pump rotates freely by hand. Then check the pump rotational direction with very
short on/off power pulses on the starter switch.
f. Pumps with mechanical seal must not run dry.

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.

7. Cornell Bearing Frames


In general, the considerations for a bearing frame are the same for that of electric motors.
NOTE: If a frame is oil lubed (denoted by AK@ on serial number plate and sight gauge on the side of the
frame), put appropriate oil in per lubrication instructions. Make sure support systems are in place and
working such as special lubricants, seal water, etc.
If the pump is used in winter, provisions must be made for protection of the pump and piping from
freezing. Add a heater if necessary. If the pump is not used in the winter, the volute should be drained to
prevent damage.

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.

Pump Support Assembly


(For Volutes with Lifting Lugs)
The pump support assembly for the volute with lugs have been designed to allow the greatest versatility during
installation. Variations of as much as 2 inches in height are possible.
Recommended installation:
Bolt the feet of the frame to the rear support and place shims under the volute until the entire unit is
approximately level. At this point make the final shimming adjustments to align the sheaves, couplings, or
other drivers.
Bolt two pump support risers to each of the two lower lifting lugs, use the one-inch diameter bolts provided.
Bolt two pump support bases to the support area you have provided. Weld each corner to secure into place.
Repeat this process for the other side.

SEAL FACE FACE

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.

DISMANTLING THE MECHANICAL SEAL

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)

Run-Dry Seal Instructions and Parts Page
Pumps equipped with Cornell’s patented Cycloseal® (patent # 5,489,187) system have an optional run-dry
feature. The run-dry feature employs an auxiliary gland and reservoir mounted to the backplate. The rotation
of the drive shaft circulates lubricant from the reservoir to the gland, then back to the reservoir. The lubricant
serves to cool the seal faces even when there is no liquid in the pump casing.
THE RUN-DRY RESERVOIR LUBRICANT LEVEL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED TO THE TOP SIGHT
GLASS; however, lubricant will circulate as long as the lubricant level is above the bottom sight glass. When
filling the reservoir with lubricant, be sure the air has been purged out of the upper circulation hose to prevent
vapor locking.
Oil changes recommended every 1000 hours or once a year.
The reservoir lubricant should be a non-volatile substance that is compatible with the mechanical seal
elastomers, will not caused rusting, and will not freeze in cold climates.
Lubricant can be added either during pump operation or while shutdown.
If water begins to accumulate in the reservoir, or the oil level depletes rapidly, this may indicate mechanical seal
failure. Leakage of oil from the gland would indicate a damaged or worn lip seal.
The optional run-dry feature is used for 2 different applications:

1. Backup Run-Dry Applications


With the backup run-dry feature, the pump can operate for a short period of time with no liquid in the pump
casing without causing damage to the mechanical seal. The run-dry option is not intended for extended periods
of operation without liquid in the pump casing, but rather as a safety feature to save the mechanical seal should
the pump unexpectedly lose prime or inadvertently be started without being primed.
Recommended reservoir lubricants:
Chevron Turbine Oil GST 32 (or other ISO viscosity grade 32 or below) (synthetic oil recommended)
Transmission fluid or Hydraulic oil

2. Extended Service Run-Dry Applications (Large Capacity Reservoir/Redi-Prime® Reservoir)


(NOTE: Internal pump tolerances have been modified for this application refers to BOM).
With the extended service run-dry feature, the pump can operate for several hours with no liquid in the pump
casing without causing damage to the mechanical seal.
Recommended reservoir lubricants:
Royal Purple Barrier Fluid FDA 22,
Synthetic White Oil (or other ISO viscosity grade 22 or lower synthetic oil)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PACKING


Stuffing box maintenance consists of tightening packing to reduce the leakage to a trickle. Install additional
packing rings or replace packing.

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.

LUBRICATION OF PACKING WITH LANTERN RING AND GREASE CUP

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.

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS – ELECTRIC MOTORS


BALL BEARING LUBRICATION
NOTE: If lubrication instructions are shown on motor, they will supersede these general instructions.
Bearings in motors 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. D6A2C5
Mobil Mobilux No. EP2
Shell Alvania EP2
Texaco Multifak AFB 2

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
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:

Oil Temperature to 1500F Oil Temperature Over 1500F


ISO VG32 ISO VG68
Mobil DTE 797 Mobil DTE Oil Heavy Medium
Lubriplate HO-0 Lubriplate HO-2
Chevron Turbine Oil GST 32 Chevron Turbine Oil GST 68
Shell Turbo T Oil 32 Shell Turbo T Oil 68

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.

Lip Seals (grease)

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.

How to Dismantle and Reassemble


A Cornell W or Y Series and NL Series-Threaded Shaft
(Packing and Seal)
Some parts may be mentioned in these instructions that do not apply to your pump. Refer to specific parts page for part
names.
DISMANTLING
1. Remove balance line if applicable.
2. Remove screws from suction cover and tap cover lightly with hammer. Insert two of these screws into tapped holes in
the cover. Tighten screws to jack the cover free.
3. Impeller threads are right hand. To remove impeller, attach flat bar to drive hub or coupling flange on the drive end
of shaft (see page 3200-401). Looking from the impeller end, have the lever rest to your left on the table or floor.
Hold impeller firmly and lift lever, then rapidly reverse and ram the lever onto table or floor. Repeat this operation
with increased intensity until the impeller thread unlocks. If this method does not unlock the impeller, use an impeller
pry-bar, see page 3200-401. With the flat bar-drive hub used in the previous method, unscrew and remove impeller.
4. If pump has a mechanical seal, remove any flush lines to seal gland. Remove gland capscrews evenly until capscrews
are free of volute. If pump has packing, loosen gland capscrews. Then apply impeller pulling tool (see page 3200-
401) to free both impeller and volute.
5. Remove volute and shaft key.
6. Remove sleeve only if necessary. Install sleeve puller outside diameter of sleeve and lock puller to sleeve with set
screws (see sleeve page puller on page 3200-401). Remove puller and sleeve with standard gear puller. If parts page
shows an “O” ring groove in sleeve then sleeve can be pulled off by hand.
7. The suction wear ring can be removed by drilling the ring longitudinally in three places to relieve compression
and “collapsing” the three sections together. Use care not to drill into the volute casting. Better control is
obtained if small pilot holes are first drilled and then enlarged to “cut” the ring. This same technique is used to
remove the hub wear ring.
REASSEMBLE
1. To replace sleeve, heat new sleeve uniformly to about 4000 for about 10 minutes. Slide it on the shaft quickly.
However, if the sleeve has an “O” ring, it should not be heated.
NOTE: Remove burrs on shaft around keyway before replacing sleeve.
2a. Pump with mechanical seal: Each seal has its own particular assembly procedure. Read instructions for the
particular seal type before proceeding, or damage to seal parts will result. When applicable, follow instructions
for mechanical seal.
2b. Pump with packing: To repack stuffing box, remove the gland and pull out the old packing. Insert an extra
sleeve in the stuffing box to insure proper alignment of new packing, which is then slipped into the stuffing
box, ring by ring. Stagger the splits in the packing rings 1200. To insure proper pressure on each ring, push
all the way down and tap lightly.
3. Replace volute by sliding it carefully over shaft. Bolt volute to bracket or frame.
4. Thread impeller onto shaft hand tight.
5. For seals, bring the gland and gasket against the face at the seal chamber and tighten the bolts evenly. For packing,
replace packing gland.
6. Use new gaskets. For emergency use, old gaskets should be moist and flat.
7. Replace suction cover and reconnect any balance or flush lines.

How to Dismantle and Reassemble a Cornell Pump


With Threaded Shaft (Packing and Seal)
Some parts may be mentioned in these instructions that do not apply to your pumps. Refer to your specific parts page for
parts names.
Dismantling:
1. Remove balance line if applicable.
2. Remove all capscrews from volute. Insert two of these screws into tapped holes in back side of plate. Tighten screws
to jack the volute free from the back side plate exposing the impeller. Remove volute. Make sure volute doesn’t fall
on to impeller.
3. Impeller threads are right hand. To remove impeller, attach flat bar to drive hub or coupling flange on drive end of
shaft. (See page 3200-401). Looking from the impeller end have the lever rest to your left on the table or floor. Hold
impeller firmly and lift lever, then rapidly reverse and ram the lever onto table or floor. Repeat this operation with
increased intensity until the impeller thread unlocks. If this method does not unlock the impeller use an impeller pry-
bar (see 3200-401). With the flat bar-drive hub used in the previous method, unscrew and remove impeller.
4. If pump has a mechanical seal, remove any flush lines to seal gland. Remove gland capscrews evenly until capscrews
are free. If pump has packing, loosen gland capscrews.
5. Unbolt and remove back side plate from frame or bracket.
6. Remove sleeve only if necessary. Install sleeve puller over outside diameter of sleeve and lock puller to sleeve with
set screws. See sleeve puller on page 3200-401. Remove puller and sleeve with standard gear puller. If parts page
shows an “O” ring groove in sleeve, then sleeve can be pulled off by hand.
7. The suction wear ring can be removed by drilling the ring longitudinally in three places to relieve compression and
“collapsing” the three sections together. Use care not to drill into the volute casting. Better control is obtained if
small pilot holes are first drilled and then enlarged to “cut” the ring. This same technique is used to remove the hub
wear ring.
REASSEMBLING:
1. To replace sleeve: Heat new sleeve very uniformly to about 4000F for about ten minutes. Slide it on the shaft
quickly. CAUTION: If the sleeve has an “O” ring it should not be heated. NOTE: Remove burrs on shaft around
keyway before replacing sleeve.
2a. Pump with mechanical seal: Each seal has its own particular assembly procedures. Read instructions for
the particular seal before proceeding or damage to seal parts will result. Where applicable, follow
instructions for mechanical seal.
2b. Pump with packing: To repack stuffing box, remove the gland and pull out the old packing. Insert an extra
sleeve in the stuffing box to insure proper alignment of new packing, which is then slipped into the stuffing
box, ring by ring. Stagger the splits in the packing rings 1200. To ensure proper pressure on each ring,
push all the way down and tap lightly.
3. Replace back side plate.
4. Use new gaskets. For emergency use, old gaskets should be moist and flat.
5. Add thrust washer and thread impeller onto shaft, hand tight.
6. Replace packing gland.
7. Replace volute, sliding it carefully over register. Bolt volute to back side plate.
8. Reconnect any lines that may have been removed (balance, flush, or etc.).
