1. INTRODUCTION
This installation, operation, and maintenance manual is designed to help you
achieve the best performance and longest life from your Summit Pump.
This pump is a close coupled / frame-mounted, closed impeller, centrifugal model
with end suction / top discharge. The pump is designed for handling water, non-
corrosives (cast iron/bronze fitted), and mild corrosives (316 stainless steel).
If there are any questions regarding the pump or its application, which are not
covered in this manual or in other literature accompanying this unit, please
contact your Summit Pump distributor.
For information or technical assistance on the power source, contact the power
source manufacturer’s local dealer or representative.
SAFETY
The following message types are used in this manual to alert maintenance
personnel to procedures that require special attention for the protection and safety
of both equipment and personnel:
WARNING!
Failure to comply with the warnings in this
manual could result in personal injury or
death.
CAUTION!
Failure to comply with the cautions in this
manual could result in destruction of or
damage to equipment.
WARNING!
Failure to properly lift and move pump
could result in serious personal injury.
Immediately upon arrival, carefully inspect the pump for evidence of damage
during transit. Immediately report any damage to your Summit Pump Distributor.
STORING THE PUMP
Store the pump in a clean dry place. Do not remove piping connection covers.
Rotate the pump shaft by hand at least once per week to maintain a protective
film of oil or grease on the bearings. If you anticipate long-term storage, special
treatment is available for purchase from Summit Pump, Inc.
3. INSTALLATION
LOCATION
When choosing a location for the pump, select an area that provides easy access for
inspection and maintenance. Locate the pump as close as possible to the source, which
will provide NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) equal to or greater than that required by
the pump at any capacity over its expected operating range.
FOUNDATION
Use a foundation that is sufficient enough to support all points of the pump base-plate.
Level and grout the base-plate per standard construction practices (see ANSI/HI 1.4.2-
1997).
PIPING CONNECTION – SUCTION / DISCHARGE
All piping must be independently supported and accurately aligned to the pump suction
and discharge connections.
WARNING!
Lock out driver power before beginning to
work on pump.
CAUTION!
Never use force to align piping to the
pump suction and discharge.
The suction piping should be equal to, but never less than, the suction nozzle size. If
larger, use an eccentric reducer mounted with flat side on top. If suction line is suction
lift, the pipe must be free of air leaks. It must be one diameter larger than the pump
suction nozzle. The end must be two pipe diameters below the liquid surface. If a foot
valve is used, it must be 1.5 times the area of the suction pipe. Elbows must be a
minimum of ten diameters from the suction flange.
CAUTION!
Never operate pump with discharge valve
closed.
The discharge piping should include isolation and check valves. The check valve
prevents the pump from rotating backward. Place the check valve between the pump and
isolation valve. The isolation valve is used for priming, starting, and shutting down the
system. If you use pipe diameter increasers, place them between the pump and the check
valve.
WARNING!
Lock out pump driver. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
STUFFING BOX
Mechanical seals are standard.
CAUTION!
Pumps are limited to 150° F maximum
pumpage.
Mechanical Seals
Mechanical seals are standard in the close coupled and frame mounted pumps. The seal
is mounted at the factory and needs no further adjustment for operating conditions.
4. OPERATION
LUBRICATION
The close coupled pumps require only grease lubrication per motor manufacture
instructions. Frame mounted pumps are grease lubricated.
WARNING!
WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Failure to do
so can result in serious personal injury.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
(See APPENDIX D for cross-section of corresponding model.)
WARNING!
Pump parts are heavy. Use proper lifting
methods to avoid personal injury.
4. Place lifting sling around pump frame if removing pump. Disconnect drive
coupling, suction, discharge and any seal tubing. If pump is close coupled,
disconnect wiring from motor. Lift entire component onto transport cart for trip to
shop.
5. Secure pump or pump and motor to bench to disassemble.
6. Remove casing bolts (170) holding casing to adapter (71). Pull casing (1) and
gasket (73A) away from adapter (71) over impeller (2). Set casing and gasket
aside for inspection.
7. Loosen impeller screw (26). Remove impeller screw (26) and washer (24A), hold
shaft with suitable tool.
8. Remove impeller (2) from shaft (6)
9. Remove mechanical seal parts (80A, B, C, & D) from shaft sleeve (14).
10. Loosen and remove adapter to frame / motor bolts. Slide adapter away from
frame/motor.
11. Remove floating seat (65A) from adapter and set aside with other seal parts for
inspection.
12. Slide sleeve (14), sleeve O-ring (130) and deflector (40) from shaft.
Frame Mounted
11. Slide adapter (71) over end of pump shaft (6). Align holes in adapter with bearing
frame (19) holes. Install adapter to frame bolts and tighten.
12. Lubricate shaft sleeve (14) bore, and bore of rotating assembly (80A). Slide
sleeve onto shaft (6). Slide the rotating assembly and rotating sealing washer (not
shown) (80D) onto the shaft sleeve. The lapped surface should be facing toward
