FOREWORD

These units are horizontal process pumps of the overhung power frame configuration and identified by
RuhrpumpenasCPP.Thispumpfamilyisdividedintodifferentlines:theCPPlinemeetstheANSI/ASMEB73.1
2001requirements,andtheCPPLlineisasolutionforlowflowandhighheadapplications.

It is recommended that the services of a Ruhrpumpen installation technician be employed for the installation
and initial starting of the pump. Such service will help to ensure the user that the equipment is properly
installed,andwillprovideanexcellentopportunityfortheplantoperatortoreceiveusefultipsandguidelines
relative to the unit. The tools and/or equipment referenced in this manual are not supplied by Ruhrpumpen
unlessspecificallyordered.Thispumpdesigncanbeservicedwithstandardmaintenancetools.

Instructions in this manual are written for trained, experienced technicians who are familiar with the basic
principles and tools involved in the installation, care and service of a pump and who, as part of their trade
education have acquired the ability to interpret and follow the detailed specifications required for such
installation,care,andservice.Successfuloperationoftheunitisdependentoncarefulstudyofthemanualand
awellplannedmaintenanceprogram.

A complete reading of this manual by personnel in contact with the pump is essential to safety. Incorrect
installation, operation or maintenance can result in personal injury or death to personnel and damage to the
pumpandplant.

Before performing any service function be certain that the unit is separate from its power source or that the
powersourceislockedouttopreventanyformofenergyfromenteringtheequipment.

Contact with hot surfaces of the pump can cause severe burns. Care must be taken where such surfaces are
exposed.Caremustalsobetakentopreventignitionofflammablefluidsorothermaterial.

Information in this manual is believed to be reliable, but it is not guaranteed by Ruhrpumpen as to its

Inthefollowingpages,alignmentproceduresareexplainedwithdialindicators.Laseralignmentisalsopossible.
The specific method in laser alignment will depend on the manufacturers instructions; however, the basic

misalignmentandcorrectit.
A.ALIGNMENTOFEQUIPMENT
Correct alignment is mandatory for the successful operation of rotating equipment. A flexible coupling is no
excuse for misalignment. The relationship between shaft centerlines can easily be determined by 1) two step
dialindicatormethod,2)reverseindicatoralignment,3)acrossthediscpackalignment.Thesecanallbesolved
byagraphicalapproach.Thisprocedurewilldiscussmethods2and3.Method1iscoveredinRexnord'sManual
MTSS04001, "Two Step Dial Indicator Method". Before we get into this alignment procedure, several items
shouldbeconsideredatthispoint.
1.IndicatorSetUp
No matter what arrangement you use, indicator sag must be determined. This can easily be determined by
clamping the setup onto a rigid piece of pipe, rolling the indicator from top to bottom, and reading the
difference. Once the indicator sag setup has been determined, this number can be algebraically subtracted
from the alignment readings obtain at the bottom. There is no need to be concerned about the side to side
readingsasthesagisequalonbothsides.

7.3OPERATINGCHECK
During the initial operating hours, the pump should be monitored constantly. It is thus possible to detect
irregularities immediately and to take appropriate measures for their elimination (See SECTIONELEVEN
TROUBLESHOOTINGCHART).
To monitor flow, pressure, temperature, and lubrication, regular visual inspection and monitoring is advisable
and/ornecessaryduringoperation.

Toperformthemaintenanceofthepump,nospecial(custommade)toolsareneeded.


Before initiating maintenance procedures disconnect all power sources to the
equipment and discharge any parts which may retain an electric charge. Use
properlockstoavoidaccidentalstartupofthepumpsystem.Failuretocomply
mayresultinseverepersonalinjury.

When performing the maintenance of the pump, use the safety equipment
appropriate for the pumped fluid, materials, and location of the equipment,
such as gloves, safety glasses, harnesses and other equipment regarded as
mandatorybytheplantssafetyinstructions.

8.1DISASSEMBLY
1. Stopthepump.SeeSECTION7.5STOPPING.
2. Drainallpossiblefluidsfromthepumpcaseandpowerframes.
3. Disconnect any auxiliary piping and wiring that could interfere with disassembly (for example, cooling

4. Disconnectthedrivertopumpcouplingandremovecouplingspacer.
5. When disassembling the pump, match mark, tag or otherwise identify all parts, and provide separate
containers for small parts. Refer to the pump sectional drawing included in SECTION TEN PARTS

The adjustment of the impeller should be performed with the pump casing. Depending on the operating
conditions is how the impeller clearance should be adjusted, and if those conditions change, the adjustment
shouldberedoneaccordingtothenewoperatingconditions.
