Important!
The pump must not be used for other purposes than recommended and quoted for without
consulting your local supplier.
Liquids not suitable for the pump can cause damages to the pump unit, with a risk of personal injury.
In case of damage and/or missing parts, a report should be drawn up and presented to the carrier at
once. Notify your local supplier.
www.johnson-pump.com / www.spx.com
1.2.2 Handling
Check the mass (weight) of the pump unit. All parts weighing more than 20 kg must be lifted using
lifting slings and suitable lifting devices, e.g. overhead crane or industrial truck. See section 6.6
Weights – Mass.
1.2.3 Storage
If the pump is not commissioned immediately, the shaft should be turned a full turn once every week.
This ensures a proper distribution of the conservating oil.
A pump must always be installed and used in accordance with existing national and local sanitary
and safety regulations and laws.
When ATEX pump/pump unit is supplied, the separate ATEX manual must be considered

1.3.2.2 Installation
All pump units should be equipped with a locking safety switch to prevent accidental start during
installation, maintenance or other work on the unit.
Warning
The safety switch must be turned to off and locked before any work is carried out on the pump unit.
Accidental start can cause serious personal injury.
The pump unit must be mounted on a level surface and either be bolted to the foundation or be fitted
with rubber-clad feet.
The pipe connections to the pump must be stress-free mounted, securely fastened to the pump and
well supported. Incorrectly fitted pipe can damage the pump and the system.
Warning
Electric motors must be installed by authorized personnel in accordance with EN60204-1. Faulty
electrical installation can cause the pump unit and system to be electrified, which can lead to fatal
injuries.
Electric motors must be supplied with adequate cooling ventilation. Electric motors must not be
enclosed in airtight cabinets, hoods etc.
Dust, liquids and gases which can cause overheating and fire must be diverted away from the
motor.
Warning
Pump units to be installed in potentially explosive environments must be fitted with an Ex-class
(explosion safe) motor. Sparks caused by static electricity can give shocks and ignite explosions.
Make sure that the pump and system are properly grounded. Check with the proper authorities
for the existing regulations. A faulty installation can lead to fatal injuries.
Check the alignment of the pump and motor shafts. The alignment may have been altered during
transport, lifting and mounting of the pump unit. For safe disassembly of the coupling guard see
below: Disassembly/assembly of the coupling guard.
Warning
The pump unit must not be used with other liquids than those for which it was recommended and
sold. If there are any uncertainties contact your sales representative. Liquids, for which the pump is
not appropriate, can damage the pump and other parts of the unit as well as cause personal injury.
Warning
The coupling guard must never be removed during operation. The locking safety switch must be
turned to off and locked. The coupling guard must always be reassembled after it has been removed.
Make sure to also reassemble any extra protective covers. There is a risk of personal injury if the
coupling guard is incorrectly mounted.
a) Turn off and lock the power switch.
b) Disassemble the coupling guard.
c) Complete the work.
d) Reassemble the coupling guard and any other protective covers. Make sure that the screws are
properly tightened.
When changing the operating conditions of the pump please contact your supplier to ensure a safe
and reliable working pump.
This also applies to modifications on a larger scale, such as a change of motor or pump on an
existing pump unit.

The rotor and idler gear mesh and liquid is being pushed
into the discharge line.
Reversing the shaft rotation will reverse the flow through the pump as well.
This safety relief valve limits the differential pressure ('p) between suction and discharge, not the
maximum pressure within the installation.
• The safety relief valve protects the pump against over-pressure only in one flow direction.
The safety relief valve will not provide protection against over-pressure when the pump rotates
in the opposite direction. When the pump is used in both directions, a double safety relief valve
is required.
• An open safety relief valve indicates that the installation is not functioning properly. The pump
must be shut down at once. Find and solve the problem before restarting the pump.
• When the safety relief valve is not installed on the pump, other protections against over-pressure
have to be provided.
• Note! Do not use the safety relief valve as a flow regulator. The liquid will circulate only through
the pump and will heat up quickly.
Contact your local distributor if a flow regulator is required.
3.3 Sound
TopGear pumps are rotary displacement pumps. Because of the contact between internal parts
(rotor/idler), pressure variations etc. they produce more noise than for example centrifugal pumps.
Also the sound coming from drive and installation must be taken into consideration.
As the sound level at the operating area may exceed 85 dB(A), ear protection must be worn.
See also section 3.7 Sound level.
Liquids not suitable for the pump can cause damages to the pump unit and imply risk of personal
injury.

LWA = LpA + Ls
The A-weightened sound power level LWA is also expressed in decibels dB(A).
The reference sound power is 1 pW (= 10-12 W). LS is the logarithm of the surrounding surface at
distance of 1 metre from the pump, expressed in dB(A) and is listed in the last column of above
table.
For a quick determination of the total sound level the following table can be used:
L1–L2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
L[f(L1–L2)] 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.7 1.4 1.2 1.0
Ltotal = L1 + L corrected
where Ltotal : the total sound level of the pump unit
L1 : the highest sound level
L2 : the lowest sound level
Lcorrected : term, depending on the difference between both sound levels
3.7.3 Influences
The real sound level of the pump unit can for several reasons deviate from the values listed in the
tables above.
• Noise production decreases when pumping high viscosity liquids due to better lubricating and
damping properties. Moreover the resistance torque of the idler is increasing due to higher liquid
friction which results in lower vibration amplitude.
• Noise production increases when pumping low viscosity liquids combined with low working
pressure because the idler can move freely (lower charge, lower liquid friction) and the liquid
does not damp much.
• Vibrations in piping, vibrating of the base plate etc. will make the installation produce more noise.
1. Maximum temperature of size GM2-25 and GM3-32 is limited to 200°C due to ball bearing type
2RS.
Minimum temperature is -20°C.
2. Temperature limits must be considered depending on the used materials for bearing bushes and

In the double seal versions GG and GD only the short type KU can be built in. A double
mechanical seal consist of two separately chosen single mechanical seals.
If GD type back-to-back double mechanical seal is chosen, attention must be paid for axial
securing of the first stationary seat. Our pumps are provided for built in the axial securing of
the stationary seat according to DIN24960. The exact securing ring must be delivered by the
mechanical seal manufacturer together with the seals because the dimensions must be adapted
to the form of the seat.
Dimensions in mm
Performance
Maximum performance such as viscosity, temperature and working pressure depends on the make of
the mechanical seal and the used materials.
Note! The pressure before the first mechanical seal at pumped medium side is lower than the
discharge pressure.
Food applications
Special demanded Burgmann M7N (SiC-SiC seal faces and FDA approved FPM o-rings) seals can
be used in food applications. Each one of these special demanded Burgmann M7N seals have a
“confirmation for FDA-requirements” like the one in the "Declaration of Compliance for food contact
materials" (see last pages of this manual).

The pump shaft is sealed by means of packing rings and the bronze shaft bearing is placed outside
the pumped medium and is designed to work as a packing gland. Because of the fact that, under
normal conditions, the shaft bearing does not come into contact with the pumped medium, bronze
can be used as material.
The bush bearing is greased by an external grease sypply. The grease has to be provided by the end
user because of compatibility with the pumped liquid.
Depending of the type of chocolate extra clearances are given on Rotor, Idler, Pump cover and Idler
bush bearing. For extra clearances see 3.14.

On this improved execution, the gland packing area can be filled with grease from the outside before
the pump is actually started. This prevents the chocolate from entering this area until the packing is
properly adjusted. Otherwise, in case chocolate with sugar content is entering the gland packing
area, it would caramelize/burn at the inside and the shaft sealing would become immediately un-
effective even if the gland is tightened harder afterwards. To allow this pre-lubrication of the gland
packing area, we have added a lantern ring with external grease nipple behind the first packing ring.
Please note that the lubricant must be food-approved and compatible with the product pumped.
Note! The packing is lightly tightened by hand at the factory. When pumping chocolate, the packing
needs to be tightened bit by bit at the initial start-up in order to achieve the utmost minimum
of leakage, just enough to lubricate the packing rings. Excessively leaking chocolate can
overheat in the packing, causing caramelisation, resulting in extra wear of the packing.
As from the first of July 2015, this new shaft sealing option (LCT TV) is available on the TopGear GM
and H range. This new shaft sealing option can be used for pumping products with a viscosity of
more than 5.000 mPas as alternative for double mechanical seals omitting the need for an expensive
pressurized quench system. This option can be used for medium temperatures up to 220 °C and a
maximum pressure of 16 bar.

When the safety relief valve is not functioning properly, the pump must immediately be taken out of
service. The safety relief valve must be checked by your local distributor.

The instructions contain useful and important information allowing the pump/pump unit to be properly
installed. They also contain important information to prevent possible accidents and serious damage
prior to commissioning and during operation of the installation.
Non-compliance with the safety instructions may produce a risk to the personnel as well as to the
environment and the machine, and results in a loss of any right to claim damages.
It is imperative that signs affixed to the machine, e.g. arrow indicating the direction of rotation or
symbols indicating fluid connections be observed and kept legible.
3.19.2 Location
3.19.2.1 Short suction line
Locate the pump/pump unit as close as possible to the liquid source and if possible below the liquid
supply level. The better the suction conditions, the better the performance of the pump. See also
section 3.19.6.2 Piping.
3.19.2.2 Accessibility
Sufficient room should be left around the pump/pump unit to allow proper inspection, pump isolation
and maintenance.
Sufficient space should be left in front of the pump to enable disassembly of the pump cover, idler
and idler pin.

It is imperative that the operating device of pump and/or pump unit is always accessible
(also during operation).
When flammable or explosive products are pumped, a proper earthing should be provided. The
components of the unit should be connected with earthing bridges to reduce the danger arising from
static electricity.
Use explosion free or explosion proof motors according to local regulations. Provide suitable
coupling guards and suitable couplings.
Excessive temperatures
Depending on the fluid being pumped, high temperatures may be reached inside and around the
pump. From 60°C onwards the responsible person must provide the necessary protective means
and place “Hot surfaces” notices .
When insulating the pump unit, ensure that adequate cooling is allowed from the bearing housing.
This is required for cooling of the bearings and grease of the bearing bracket
(see 3.19.9.7 Guarding of moving parts).
3.19.2.5 Stability
Foundation
The pump unit must be installed on a base plate or on a frame placed exactly level on the foundation.
The foundation must be hard, level, flat, vibration-free to guarantee correct alignment of the pump/
drive while operating. See also section 3.19.9 Guidelines for assembly and section 3.19.9.6 Shaft
coupling.
Horizontal mounting
Pumps are to be mounted horizontally on the integral feet. Other kinds of installation have an
influence on draining, filling and functioning of the mechanical seal, etc. If the pump/pump unit is
installed differently, contact your local distributor.
Support
Nevertheless the feet underneath the pump
casing make the pump very stable, an extra
support is placed under the bearing bracket.
Especially when driven by V-belt and/or a
combustion engine this extra support close to
the coupling is needed. It is designed to absorb
the belt forces and vibrations whilst letting the
pump shaft expand freely along its axis.
3.19.3 Drives
If a bare shaft pump is supplied, the user is responsible for the drive and the assembling with the
pump. The user also must provide guarding of moving parts. See also section 3.19.9 Guidelines for
assembly.
• This force is calculated on the maximum allowable torque and the maximum allowable working
pressure of the pump.
• In case a direct drive with a flexible coupling is used, the indicated force will not be exceeded
when pump and drive are well aligned.
• Starting with the TG GM15-50, V-belt drive can be used.
In case of V-belt drive
The maximum allowable radial force Fr as indicated in the table may be chosen higher but must
be calculated case by case in function of pressure, torque and size of the pulley. Consult your
local distributor for advice.
Note! Shaft rotation is always viewed from the shaft end towards the pump.
Unless otherwise specified on the order, TopGear pumps are built at the factory for clockwise
rotation (left figure above), which we define as the standard direction of rotation.
The small arrows 2 and 3 indicate the flow direction of the pumped liquid.
Always make sure that shaft rotation corresponds with the position of the discharge and suction
ports and the direction indicated by the rotation arrow plate.
If the shaft rotation is correct in relation to the port position but different from the direction indicated
by rotation arrow plate, the top cover must be disassembled and turned around by 180°. The two
suck-back grooves will help to evacuate air or gases during start-up or whilst running. As they only
function in one direction of rotation, the
top cover should be positioned in such
a way that the suck-back grooves are
placed towards the suction side.In case
of doubt, contact your local distributor.
If the pump rotates in both directions,
the top cover should be positioned in
such a way that the suck-back grooves
are placed towards the most used
suction side.

When a double safety relief valve is installed three arrow plates are attached – one on each valve
(A and B) indicating the liquid flow direction of each valve (small arrows 2 and 3) and one on the
Y-casing (C) indicating the most favourable direction of rotation of the pump (arrow 1).
The two suck-back grooves will help to evacuate air or gases during start-up or whilst running. As
they only function in one direction of rotation, the Y-casing should be positioned in such a way that
the suck-back grooves are placed towards the most used suction side.
In case of doubt, contact your local distributor.
Be sure that the safety relief valves are mounted opposite each other so that the arrow plates on the
safety relief valves (A and B) are indicating opposite liquid flow directions.

See table for maximum allowable forces (Fx, y, z) and moments (Mx, y, z) on the nozzle flanges with pump
on a solid foundation (e.g. grouted base plate or solid frame).
When pumping hot liquids attention should be given to forces and moments caused by thermal
expansion in which case expansion joints should be installed.
Check after connecting whether the shaft can move freely.
3.19.6.2 Piping
• Use piping with an equal diameter than the connection ports of the pump and shortest possible.
• The pipe diameter has to be calculated in function of the liquid parameters and the installation
parameters. If necessary use larger diameters to limit pressure losses.
• If the fluid to be pumped is viscous, pressure losses in the suction and discharge lines may
increase considerably. Other piping components like valves, elbows, strainers, filters and foot
valve also cause pressure losses.
• Diameters, length of piping and other components should be selected in such a way that the
pump will operate without causing mechanical damage to the pump/pump unit, taking into
account the minimum required inlet pressure, the maximum allowable working pressure and the
installed motor power and torque.
• Check the tightness of the pipes after connection.
Suction piping
• Liquids should preferably enter the pump from a level higher than the pump level. In case the
liquid should be sucked from a level lower than the pump level, the inclining suction pipe should
rise upwards towards the pump without any air pockets.
• A too small diameter or a too long suction pipe, a too small or blocked strainer will increase
pressure losses so that the NPSHa (NPSH available) becomes smaller than the NPSH
(NPSH required).
Cavitation will occur, causing noise and vibrations. Mechanical damage to pump and pump unit
is not excluded.
• When a suction strainer or filter is installed pressure losses in the suction line must be checked
constantly. Also check if the inlet pressure at the suction flange of the pump is still sufficiently
high.
• When the pump works in both directions, pressure losses must be calculated for both directions.

In case of steam supply, connect the supply line at the highest position and the return line to the
lowest position so that condensed water will be drained via the lowest line. In case of liquid supply,
the positions are not important.
When installing a flush or quench circuit always use the lowest connection as inlet and the highest
one as outlet (in case of two side connection). This will facilitate the evacuation of air or gases if any.

Locking ring
At the first mechanical seal (liquid side) an axial locking ring can be mounted (also consult
section 4.7.7.3 of EN12756 (DIN24960).
A 3050 B
This locking ring prevents the static part of the mechanical seal from being pushed out of its seat
in case quench pressure (B) falls back or drops out.
This locking ring must be adapted to the static ring and must be delivered together with the
mechanical seal.
Some mechanical seals are designed in such a way that the stationary ring can not be pushed out
of its seat. In that case, there’s no need to fit a locking ring.

Circuit breaker
For safety work on a pump unit, install a circuit breaker as close as possible to the machine. It also
is advisable to place an earth leakage switch. The switching equipment must comply with current
regulations, as stipulated by EN 60204-1.
Connection
• Do not use a star-delta circuit with electric motors due to the required high starting torque.
• For single-phase alternating current, use motors with a “reinforced” starting torque.
• Ensure a sufficiently high starting torque for frequency-controlled motors and adequate
cooling of the motor at low speeds. If necessary, install a motor with forced ventilation.

Fit – without impact tool – both halves of the coupling to the pump shaft and the motor shaft
respectively.
Alignment
The pump and motor shafts of complete units are accurately pre-aligned in the factory.
After installation of the pump unit, the pump and motor shaft alignment must be checked and
re-aligned if necessary.
Alignment of the coupling halves may only take place by moving the electric motor!
Alignment tolerances
External diameter Va Vamax - Vamin Vrmax
of coupling [mm] min [mm] max [mm] [mm] [mm]
Belt drive
Belt drives also increase the loading on the shaft end and the bearings. Therefore, certain limitations
must be imposed on the maximum load of the shaft, viscosity, pumping pressure and speed.
For pumps operating at temperatures above 100°C, ensure that bearing bracket and bearings are
cooled sufficiently by the surrounding air. Openings in the bearing bracket must not be guarded
if the rotating parts do not have any projections (keys or keyways) which could cause injury (see
prEN809). This simplifies the inspection and maintenance of the shaft seal.
We advise to connect the cartridge heaters to an electronic or electrical power control device, driven
by a temperature sensor placed in close proximity to the cartridge heaters. In order to
prevent the motor to start before the required temperature of the pump has been reached, we advise
to connect this electronic or electrical power control device to the circuit of the motor.
If the cartridge heaters are not supplied with a separate earth lead, the installation has to provide
a safe ground connection.
Do not operate the cartridge heaters at voltages in excess of that stamped on the cartridge heater.
Install properly sized fuses/breakers in order to minimize hazards.
Do not twist or braid the wire leads. Where leads are subject to flexing, support the leadwires to
prevent them from twisting or breaking off at the terminal end. Also avoid the use of tape on leads
where they emerge from the cartridge heater. The adhesive on some tapes can contaminate the
cartridge heater and shorten the cartridge heater life.
Before connecting the cartridges check the current local regulations of your electricity provider as
well as the EN 60204-1 standard. Leave the connection of electrical devices to qualified personnel
and take the necessary measures to prevent damage to electrical connections and wiring.
Cartridge heaters are capable of developing high temperatures. Therefore extreme care should
be taken to avoid contact between the cartridge heaters and combustible materials and to keep
combustible materials far enough away to be free of the effects of high temperatures.

F When using the PR-version (reverted packing) for chocolate applications:
The packing is lightly tightened by hand at the factory. When pumping chocolate, the packing
needs to be tightened bit by bit at the initial start-up in order to achieve the utmost minimum of
leakage, just enough to lubricate the packing rings. Excessively leaking chocolate can overheat in
the packing, causing caramelisation, resulting in extra wear of the packing. Check if the external
grease supply is into service in order to lubricate the bush bearing at the start-up.

3.20.6 Shut-down
When the pump is to be put out of service the following procedure must be observed:
Note! When the liquid flows back from the discharge pipe to the pump, the pump may rotate in
the opposite direction. By closing the discharge line valve during the last rotation cycles this can be
prevented.
F Prior to restarting the pump, determine the reason for the problem and solve the problem.
Note! If symptoms persist, the pump must be taken out of service immediately. Contact your local supplier.
Note!
When doing so, observe adequate safety regulations and take environmental protection measures.
Liquids should be drained and following local safety regulations the correct personal equipment
should be used.
3.21.1.2 Disposal
Disposal of the pump should only be done after it has been completely drained.
Proceed according to local regulations.
Where applicable please disassemble the product and recycle the part’s material.
• Insufficient, wrong and/or irregular maintenance can lead to malfunctions in the pump, high
repair costs and long-term inoperability. Therefore, you should carefully follow the guidelines
given in this chapter.
During maintenance operations on the pump due to inspections, preventive maintenance or
removal from the installation, always follow the prescribed procedures.
Non-compliance with these instructions or warnings may be dangerous for the user and/or
seriously damage the pump/pump group.
• Maintenance operations should be performed by qualified personnel only. Always wear the
required safety clothing, providing protection against high temperatures and harmful and/or
corrosive fluids. Make sure that the personnel read the entire instruction manual and, in
particular, indicate those sections concerning the work at hand.
• SPX is not responsible for accidents and damage caused by non-compliance with the
guidelines.
3.22.2 Preparation
3.22.2.1 Surroundings (on site)
Because certain parts have very small tolerances and/or are vulnerable, a clean work environment
must be created during on-site maintenance.
3.22.2.2 Tools
For maintenance and repairs use only technically appropriate tools that are in good condition. Handle
them correctly.
3.22.2.3 Shut-down
Before commencing the maintenance and inspection activities the pump must be taken out of
service. The pump/pump unit must be fully depressurized. If the pumped fluid permits, let the pump
cool down to the surrounding temperature.
3.22.2.5 Conservation
If the pump is not to be used for longer periods:
• First drain the pump.
• Then treat the internal parts with VG46 mineral oil or other preservering liquid (e.g. food grade oil
for food applications).
• The pump must be operated briefly once a week or alternatively the shaft must be turned a full
turn once a week. This ensures proper circulation of the protective oil.

Starting with pump size TG GM6-40, the pumps are equipped with ball bearings which could be
greased periodically through a grease nipple at the bearing cover. The standard “multi-purpose”
grease (consistent class NLGI-2) is suitable for temperatures up to 120°C.
For higher temperatures the standard grease should be replaced by a high temperature grease
(consistent class NLGI-3). This grease is, depending on the make, suitable for temperatures up to
150°C or 180°C.
When a pump will be applied in a system or under conditions facing extremely high or low
temperatures, the selection of the proper lubricant and correct lubrication interval should be made in
consideration with your grease supplier.
Do not mix different grades, different makes of grease together. Such a mix can cause severe
damage. Consult your local grease supplier.
Relubrication
• Starting with pump size TG GM6-40, the ball bearings require lubrication through the grease
nipple every 5000 running hours or every 12 months (which occurs first).
• Add a correct grade of grease (see 3.22.3.5). Do not overfill (see table below).

The ball bearing type 2RS are grease filled for life and need not to be relubricated.
Both ranges ISO 3000 range and American AFBMA 5000 range are possible and have the
same built in dimensions.
• When the anti-friction bearing has been relubricated 4 times it needs to be cleaned.
Replace the old grease with new one or renew the anti-friction bearings.
• In the case of high temperatures, anti-friction bearings must be relubricated every 500 to 1000
running hours:
- when using grease of NLGI-2 class: for service temperatures > 90°C
- when using grease of NLGI-3 class: for service temperatures > 120°C
• When the load is extremely high, in case the grease looses much oil, anti-friction bearings
need relubrication after each peak service. We recommend relubricating while the pump is still
operating but after the peak load has occurred.

D. Mechanical seal
If the mechanical seal leaks excessively, it must be replaced with one of the same type.
Note! The materials of the mechanical seal are selected strictly in accordance with the nature of
the pumped liquid and the operating conditions. Thus the pump must only handle the liquid
for which it was purchased. If the liquid or operating conditions are changed, a mechanical
seal suitable for the new operating conditions must be fitted.
Plugs or pipe connections provided with conical thread according to ISO 7/1 external thread
(example ISO 7/1 – R1/2) can also be used.
Disassembly and assembly may only be carried out by trained personnel. Such personnel should be
familiar with the pump and follow the instructions below.
Non compliance with the instructions or neglecting warnings can damage the user or lead to severe
damage to pump and/or pump unit. SPX is not liable for accidents and damage resulting from such
neglect.

4.6.2 Assembly
• Check the sealing face of both valve seat (7110) and valve (7010).
• In case of a slightly damaged surface, this can be rubbed with an appropriate emery paste.
In case of severe damage however, valve seat (pay attention to shrink fit) and valve must be
replaced.
• Always mount a correct type of spring with the original dimensions and an appropriate
adjusting screw (see section 3.18.3).
• Fit spring casing (7040) and bolts (7300).
• Fit adjusting screw (7320) and nut (7330), screwing the adjusting screw to measured
distance H.
• Fix this position by tightening the nut (7330).
Remark: When another type of spring and/or adjusting bolt is mounted, the opening pressure
of the relief valve must be adjusted hydraulically.
4.7.2 Electrical heating on the pump cover (in the idler pin)
4.7.2.1 Disassembly
• Disconnect the leads of the cartridge heater (0800) from the electronic or electrical power
control device.
• Disconnect the flexible conduit (0830) from the electronic or electrical power control device.
• Remove the flexible conduit (0830) from the pump cover (4000) by loosening the enlarger
(0840).
• Remove the cartridge heater (0800) by (gently) pulling at the connection leads or at the head of
the cartridge heater.

4.7.2.2 Assembly
• Before mounting the cartridge heater (0800), it is absolutely necessary that a copper paste for
high temperatures is put on the sheath of the cartridge heater (0800). This ensures a good and
equal contact between the cartridge heater (0800) and the idler pin, so that the heat is equally
distributed.
Make sure that the sheath of the cartridge heater (0800) is completely covered with a thin layer
of copper paste.
If the cartridge heater (0800) has a ceramic head, make sure that the copper paste does not get
in contact with the ceramic head.
• Mount the cartridge heater (0800) in the bore hole of the idler pin and push it into the bore hole
until the end.
• Connect the assembly of the flexible conduit (0830), the fitting type B PG9 (0820) and the
enlarger (0840) to the pump cover (4000).
• Connect the leads of the cartridge heater (0800) to the electronic or electrical power control
device.
• Connect the flexible conduit (0830) to the electronic or electrical power control device.

4.7.3.2 Assembly
• Bolt in the set screw M10x12 (0860)
• Before mounting the cartridge heater (0800), it is absolutely necessary that a copper paste for
high temperatures is put on the sheath of the cartridge heater (0800). This ensures a good and
equal contact between the cartridge heater (0800) and the intermediate casing (0020), so that
the heat is equally distributed.
Make sure that the sheath of the cartridge heater (0800) is completely covered with a thin layer
of copper paste.
If the cartridge heater (0800) has a ceramic head, make sure that the copper paste does not get
in contact with the ceramic head.
• Mount the cartridge heater (0800) in the bore hole of the intermediate casing (0020) and push it
into the bore hole until the end.
• Connect the assembly of the flexible conduit (0830), the fitting type B PG9 (0820) and the
enlarger (0840) to the intermediate casing (0020).
• Connect the leads of the cartridge heater (0800) to the electronic or electrical power control
device.
• Connect the flexible conduit (0830) to the electronic or electrical power control device.
4.8.1 General
• All personnel responsible for maintenance, inspection and assembly must be adequately
qualified.
• Use specific instructions coming with the mechanical seal which is to be assembled/adjusted.
• The assembling and adjusting of mechanical seals must be performed in a clean workshop.
• Use technically appropriate tools that are in good condition. Handle them correctly.
4.8.2 Preparation
Check if the mechanical seal to be mounted has the appropriate size and construction and verify
if it can be assembled according to the following instructions:
• Adjusting dimensions are based on standard EN12756 (DIN24960) mechanical seals, on
standard axial clearance and standard pump parts.
• With pump versions GS, GG (except sizes TG GM2-25 and TG GM3-32) the length of the
first mechanical seal can be equal to that of EN (DIN) L1K (short version) or that of
EN (DIN) L1N (long version). The second mechanical seal of version GG always has a short
length equal to DIN-L1K. The TG GM2-25 and TG GM3-32 allow only short L1K EN12756
(DIN24960) mechanical seals.
• Version GD always has both mechanical seals with the short length equal to EN (DIN) L1K.
• If the mechanical seal length is not according to EN12756 (DIN24960) the built-in length and
distance have to be recalculated (with the aid of data given in table 4.8.7.1).
• With double mechanical seal version GD (back to back) problems can occur when assembling a
seal which is shorter than L1K. In such cases some parts will have to be changed.
• Assemble the mechanical seal with pump in a vertical position with the pump cover downwards.
Follow the assembling sequence as described below.
• The mechanical seal has to be adjusted without axial clearance between pumpcover and rotor.
Both rotor and shaft are pushed against the pump cover.
- The standard axial clearance is included in the adjusting distance X and Y (for X see table
4.8.7.1 and for Y see table 4.8.3)
- Check the shaft surface. Protect any sharp edge with tape or any other appropriate tool.
Used symbols:
A: Measuring distance from bush bearing to casing
X: Adjusting distance to be measured from first mechanical seal with GS and GG (see table 4.8.7.1)
Y: Adjusting distance from second mechanical seal with GG and GD (see table 4.8.3)
Remark: The set ring that is delivered by SPX guarantees a reliable fixation. There is no danger it
will be loosened by alternating loads. SPX cannot guarantee a reliable fixation with other set rings.
