Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded

2.3 Lifting
Pumps and motors often have integral
lifting lugs or eye bolts. These are intended for use in
only lifting the individual piece of equipment.
Do not use eye bolts or cast-in lifting

lugs to lift pump, motor and baseplate assemblies.
To avoid distortion, the pump unit

should be lifted as shown.
Care must be taken to lift components

or assemblies above the center of gravity to prevent
the unit from flipping. This is especially true with
In-Line pumps.

This method is also used to lift the bare motor
adapter. (Figure 2-2.)
2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Leave flange covers in place to
keep dirt and other foreign material out of pump
casing. Turn the pump shaft at regular intervals to
prevent brinelling of the bearings and the seal faces,
if fitted, from sticking.
The pump may be stored as above for up to 6

months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.
2.4.1 Short term storage and packaging

Normal packaging is designed to protect the pump
and parts during shipment and for dry, indoor storage
for up to six months or less. The following is an
overview of our normal packaging:
• All loose unmounted items are packaged in a
water proof plastic bag and placed under the

• Inner surfaces of the bearing housing, shaft (area

4.1 Location
The pump should be located to allow room for
access, ventilation, maintenance, and inspection with
ample headroom for lifting and should be as close as
practicable to the supply of liquid to be pumped.
Refer to the general arrangement drawing for the
pump set. Figure 4-2
4.2 Part assemblies

The supply of motors and baseplates are optional.
As a result, it is the responsibility of the installer to
ensure that the motor is assembled to the pump and
aligned as detailed in section 4.5 and 4.8.

designed to use the grout as a stiffening member.

3. The baseplate must be designed to allow the user Figure 4-3
to final field align the pump and driver to within their
own particular standards and to compensate for
any pump or driver movement that occurred during
handling. Normal industry practice is to achieve
final alignment by moving the motor to match the
pump. Flowserve practice is to confirm in our shop
that the pump assembly can be accurately aligned.
Before shipment, the factory verifies that there is
enough horizontal movement capability at the motor
to obtain a “perfect” final alignment when the
installer puts the baseplate assembly into its
original, top leveled, unstressed condition.

The procedure for motor alignment on stilt or spring

The difference is primarily in the way the baseplate is

In cases where the pump is rigidly mounted by the
pump stand, both the casing limitations and the pump
stand limitations must be satisfied. Due to the limited
load capacity of the pump stands, it may be
necessary to restrain the piping to prevent loads.
a) Ensure all applied loads are within the allowable
limits of the casing.

Notes:
1. These bearings are open on both sides. They are lubricated by oil bath or oil mist.
2. These bearings are pre-greased by Flowserve. Replacement bearings will generally not be pre-greased, so grease must be applied by
the user. They have a single shield, which is located on the side next to the grease buffer, or reservoir. The bearings draw grease from
the reservoir as it is needed. The shield protects the bearing from getting too much grease, which would generate heat. The grease
reservoir is initially filled with grease by Flowserve. Lubrication fittings are provided, to allow the customer to periodically replenish the
grease, as recommended by the bearing and/or grease manufacturer.
3. These bearings are shielded on both sides. They come pre-greased by the bearing manufacturer. The user does not need to regrease
these bearings. The shields do not actually contact the bearing race, so no heat is generated.
4. These bearings are sealed on both sides. They come pre-greased by the bearing manufacturer. The user does not need to regrease
these bearings. The seals physically contact and rub against the bearing race, which generates heat. These bearings are not
recommended at speeds above 1750 r/min.
5. The codes shown are SKF codes. Inboard and outboard bearings have the C3, greater than “normal” clearance. These clearances are
recommended by SKF to maximize bearing life.
6. Regreasable - single shielded bearings are not available in the duplex configuration; however, open oil bath-type bearings can be used
for the regreasable configuration. These bearings must be pre-greased during assembly. Lubrication fittings are provided, to allow the
user to periodically replenish the grease, as recommended by the bearing and/or grease manufacturer.
7. Not available.
8. All bearing configurations are supplied only with steel cages
9. SKF - the 5300 and 3300 bearing series are identical and therefore can be used interchangeably.

The following is a guide to troubleshooting problems with Flowserve Mark 3 pumps. Common problems are
analyzed and solutions offered. Obviously, it is impossible to cover every possible scenario. If a problem
exists that is not covered by one of the examples, then refer to one of the books listed in section 10, Additional
