Death or serious personal injury

• Before any inspection, maintenance, service or repair

of the product, make sure that the motor controls are in

the "OFF" position, locked and tagged.

• Pumping equipment, especially fire pumps, can start

up at any time. It is imperative to isolate the engine

before doing any maintenance work. Switch off the

main power supply, remove fuses, secure fuel lines,

apply lock-outs where applicable, and affix suitable

isolation warning signs to prevent inadvertent re-

connection.

• Isolate the fuel supply to the engine before working on any part of the fuel supply or control system.
• Disconnect the batteries by removal of the negative

terminal connector.

• Do not place tools on or near the batteries. This could result in a short circuit.
• Inspect all cables for damage or signs of failure and

replace immediately if damaged.

WARNING

Hazardous and flammable fumes

Death or serious personal injury

• Never refuel the engine when it is running or is still hot

from recent running.

• Avoid breathing fuel fumes when refueling the product,

especially if the product is installed in an enclosed

pump room. Maintain maximum ventilation to clear

fumes quickly.

• Do not start the engine while fuel fumes remain evident or may be present.
• Battery gasses are hazardous and flammable. The

battery area must be well ventilated to clear these gasses quickly.

• Exhaust gases are hazardous and may contain carbon

monoxide and other poisonous gasses. The exhaust

system must be maintained free from leaks and

directed to discharge in a safe area.

WARNING

Large openings

Death or serious personal injury

• If the site is left unattended before the installation is

complete, all openings must be covered to prevent

entry of children, animals, stones or any other foreign

2.2 Inspecting the product

The product must be inspected after transport and before

installation.

To complete the inspection, follow the steps below:

1. Check the product for transport damage. Contact the

transporter immediately in case of damage.

2. Check that the delivered products correspond to the order.
3. Check the positions and sizes of fittings.
4. Retighten various connections, as they may have become

loose during transport.

2.3 Transporting the product

The pump has been prepared for shipment at the factory so as to

minimize potential damage due to handling and transport.

WARNING

Crushing hazard

Death or serious personal injury

• Make sure all persons stand clear of the load and the

lifting equipment while product is lifted, lowered,

loaded and unloaded. Do not allow anyone to stand

on, under, or near the load.

Do not subject the pump to excessive g-forces during

handling or transport.

2.4 Scope of delivery

A typical shipment will include:

• one skid with the fire pump and the driver mounted on the base

plate

• one skid with the controller and accessories, if any
• installation and operating instructions.

Refer to the original order in case of questions about shipping, for

example, special arrangements with third-party vendors for shipping

and storage.

3. Installing the product

3.1 Factory support

For Engineered to Order (ETO) products, Peerless recommends

that you invite a Peerless service engineer to supervise the

installation and startup. This is to ensure a proper installation.

Peerless recommends that you review the instructions

provided with the pump.

3.2 Location

Install the product in a location that meets the following

requirements:

3.2.1 Minimum space

Always allow sufficient accessibility space for maintenance and

inspection. Provide a clearance of 24 inches (610 mm) with ample

head room for use of overhead lifting equipment strong enough to

lift the product.

3.2.2 Seismic analysis

When the pump is located in a seismically active area or in certain

critical installations, ensure that the pumps, supports, and

accessories are earthquake-resistant. The design specifications for

earthquake resistance vary depending on the geographical area

and the class of the equipment. The class of the

equipment depends on defining how critical is the survival of the

equipment, the characteristics of the structure's response to

accelerations, and the foundation supporting the pump.

English (US)

2005 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Street

If a seismic analysis is required, please refer

to thegoverning bodies recommended for

grouting and foundation requirements.

The customer must supply complete specifications for

earthquake-resistance requirements including seismic

criteria, acceleration, magnitudes, frequency spectrum,

location and direction relative

to the pump and qualification procedure.

3.3 Mechanical installation

3.3.1 Recommendation for pump foundation

All rotating equipment generates vibrations when turning at

high speeds. Proper installation and anchorage of the pumps

and installation accessories are critical to limit vibrations and

achieve reliable installation. To ensure acceptable vibration

levels in the field, all parts of the system must be sufficiently

stiff and firmly anchored to minimize vibrations:

This applies for pumps above 13 hp (10 kW).

• The foundation and concrete should be of adequate

strength tosupport the weight of the pump including

accessories, the weight of the liquid passing through the

pump, and the forces generated by the pump.

• The mass of the concrete foundation should be a

minimum of three to five times the mass of the supported

equipment and should have sufficient rigidity to withstand

the axial, transverse, and torsional loadings generated by

these machines.

• The foundation should be 5.9 in (15 cm) wider than the

base plate for pumps up to 469 hp (350 kW) and 9.8 in

(25 cm) wider for larger pumps.

• The concrete used in the foundation should have a

minimumtensile strength of 362 lbf/in

2 (250 N/cm

2 ).

• Always use a non-shrink epoxy grout to fasten the pump

base plate to the foundation.

3.3.2 Pump foundation

Large pumps will be mounted on a steel base

anchored to two concrete pillars.

Install the pump permanently on a firm, raised concrete

foundation of sufficient size to dampen any vibration and

prevent any deflection or shaft misalignment. The foundation

may float on springs or be a raised part of the floor.

Proceed like this:

1. Pour the foundation without interruption to 0.75- 1.5 in

(20- 40 mm) below the final pump level. Leave the top of

the foundation rough. Then clean and wet it down.

2. Scour and groove the top surface of the foundation

before theconcrete sets to provide a suitable bonding

surface for the grout.

3. Place anchor bolts in pipe sleeves for positioning allowance.
4. Allow enough bolt length for grout, base flange,

nuts, andwashers.

5. Allow the foundation to cure several days before

proceeding toinstall the pump.

3.3.4 Dowel pins

To comply with the Hydraulic Institute recommendations, all

pumps should be dowelled.

The pump feet can be drilled for dowels at the factory or in

the field.Doweling the pump feet accomplishes the following:

• Prevents lateral movement.
• Eases realignment if the pump is removed from the base.
• Temporarily holds the pump if the hold-down bolts loosen.

3.3.5 Installing dowel pins

If dowel holes were not drilled in the pump feet at the factory

then determine the dowel and hole size by measuring the

diameter of themounting hole in the pump foot and subtract

Peerless recommends the use of straight dowel pins as

describedin the following steps:

1. Check the coupling alignment and correct if necessary.
2. Drill holes in opposite pump feet. The holes should

be 1/64"smaller than the dowel diameter.

3. Clear the debris.
4. Ream the holes in the pump feet and base to the

correctdiameter. Allowing for a push fit.

5. Clear the debris.
6. Insert the dowels to a depth that leaves sufficient

thread toattach a nut.

7. Thread the nuts onto the dowel and tighten.

3.4 Installation preparation

3.4.1 Engine preparation

The following installation requirements help to ensure safe and

efficient operation of a pumping unit driven by a diesel engine:

1. Ensure that the operator is familiar with the installation and

service manual supplied with the engine.

2. Ventilate the area around the engine to keep the ambient

temperature as low as possible. With 60 °F (15.6 °C) as a data

point, every Δ 10 °F (Δ 6 °C) rise in temperature reduces the

horsepower of the engine by approximately 1%.

3. Provide adequate air for efficient combustion.
4. Provide the engine with an efficient exhaust system so that the

combustion gasses discharge with a minimum of back

pressure.

5. Ensure that the fuel system is of adequate capacity and meets

codes and regulations.

6. Provide ample space to access the engine for maintenance.
7. Provide correct rotation of the pump. Engine rotation is

determined at the factory, and no change to engine rotation can

be made in the field.

3.5 Mechanical installation

3.5.1 Pipes and connections

3.5.1.1 Inlet pipe

The inlet pipe must be installed in a manner that minimizes

pressure loss and permits sufficient liquid flow into the pump during

starting and operation.

At no point must the diameter of the inlet pipe be smaller

than that of the pump inlet port.

Observe the following precautions when installing the inlet pipe:

• Run the inlet pipe as direct as possible, and ideally, make sure

the length is at least ten times the pipe diameter. A short inlet

pipe can be the same diameter as the inlet port. A long inlet

pipe must be one or two sizes larger than the inlet port,

depending on the length, and with a reducer between the pipe

and the inlet port.

• Use an eccentric reducer, with the tapered side down.
• If possible, run a horizontal inlet line along an even gradient.

We recommend a gradual upward slope to the pump operating

in suction lift conditions, and a gradual downward slope

operating in positive inlet pressure conditions.

• Avoid any high points, such as pipe loops, as this may create

air pockets and throttle the system or cause erratic pumping.

• Install a gate valve in the inlet line to be able to isolate the

pump during shutdown and maintenance, and to facilitate

pump removal. Where two or more pumps are connected to the

same inlet pipe, install two gate valves to be able to isolate

each pump from the pipe.

Always install isolation valves in positions that prevent air

pockets.

Do not use globe valves, particularly when NPSH is a

critical operating factor.

• During pumping operation, the valves on the inlet line must

always be fully open.

• Install properly sized pressure gauges in the tapped holes on

the pump inlet and outlet flanges or pipes

Pressure gauges will enable the operator to monitor the

pump performance and determine whether the pump

conforms to the parameters of the performance curve

If cavitation, vapor binding, or other unstable operating

situations occur, the pressure gauges will indicate with

wide fluctuation in the inlet and outlet pressures.

3.5.1.2 Vibration dampers

To prevent the transmission of vibrations to foundations and

surrounding structures, isolate the pump and foundation from

connected structures by means of vibration dampers. The selection

of the correct vibration damper requires the following data:

• forces transmitted through the damper
• motor speed(s)
• required dampening in %.

The selection of a vibration damper differs from installation to

installation. In certain cases, a wrong damper may increase the

vibration level. Peerless recommends that the vibration dampers be

sized by the supplier. If you install the pump on a foundation with

vibration dampers, always fit expansion joints on the pump flanges.

Install expansion joints on the pump flanges to prevent the

pump from "hanging" in the flanges.

3.5.1.3 Inlet pipe

The inlet pipe must be installed in a manner that minimizes

pressure loss and permits sufficient liquid flow into the pump during

starting and operation.

At no point must the diameter of the inlet pipe be smaller

than that of the pump inlet port.

Observe the following precautions when installing the inlet pipe:

• Run the inlet pipe as direct as possible, and ideally, make sure

the length is at least ten times the pipe diameter. A short inlet

pipe can be the same diameter as the inlet port. A long inlet

pipe must be one or two sizes larger than the inlet port,

depending on the length, and with a reducer between the pipe

and the inlet port.

• Use an eccentric reducer, with the tapered side down.
  • If possible, run a horizontal inlet line along an even gradient.

We recommend a gradual upward slope to the pump operating

in suction lift conditions, and a gradual downward slope

operating in positive inlet pressure conditions.

• Avoid any high points, such as pipe loops, as this may create

air pockets and throttle the system or cause erratic pumping.

• Install a gate valve in the inlet line to be able to isolate the

pump during shutdown and maintenance, and to facilitate

pump removal. Where two or more pumps are connected to the

same inlet pipe, install two gate valves to be able to isolate

each pump from the pipe.

Always install isolation valves in positions that prevent air

pockets.

Do not use globe valves, particularly when NPSH is a

critical operating factor.

• During pumping operation, the valves on the inlet line must

always be fully open.

• Install properly sized pressure gauges in the tapped holes on

the pump inlet and outlet flanges or pipes

3.5.3.4 Aligning the engine drivers

Engine-driven units are typically supplied with the pump and drive

on a common base plate. For units that are supplied separately,

contact Peerless.

If a universal drive is installed, contact the manufacturer

for instructions.

1. Check the angular alignment between the pump and engine

shafts.

2. Check the parallel alignment between the pump and engine

shafts.

3. When coupled, verify that the angle between the pump and

drive shaft is less than three degrees. For assistance,

contact Peerless.

4. Verify that at least 3/4 of the key is engaged with the coupler

and shaft.

3.5.4 Lubrication, priming and cooling systems

If supplied, please refer to additional documents attached to the

pump, or contact Peerless.

3.6 Electrical connection

All electrical connections must be carried out by a

qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations.

DANGER

Electric shock

Death or serious personal injury

• Switch off the power supply before you start any work

on the product.

• Make sure that the power supply cannot be switched

on accidentally.

Locate the electrical conduit and boxes so as to avoid obstruction of

the pump.

Check speed versus torque requirements during the starting phase

of a pump against the speed versus torque curve of the driving

motor.

In order to accelerate the pump up to rated speed, the driver should

be capable of supplying more torque at each speed than required

by the pump. In general, this condition is easily attainable with

standard induction or synchronous motors, except under certain

conditions when a motor with high pull-in torque may be required,

such as high specific speed pumps over 5000 US units (100 metric

units) or reduced voltage startup.

To achieve a smooth start for the pumping equipment, consider

connecting autotransformers to the starting panel or using solid-

state starters. These provide a gradual increase in voltage up to

rated voltage ensuring even acceleration.

Control, monitoring and alarm equipment

All control and alarm systems should be checked for

correct installation and functioning in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions. All alarm point settings should be

checked.

Stopping the unit/reverse runaway speed

A sudden power and/or discharge valve failure during

pump operation against a static head will result in a flow reversal,

and the pump will operate as a hydraulic turbine in a

direction opposite to that of a normal pump operation. If the driver

offers little resistance while running backward, the rotational speed

may approach the pump specific speed. This condition is called

runaway speed and causes mechanical problems. Contact Peerless

for aid in preventing this condition.

2005 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Street

4.2 Checking rotation

WARNING

Electric shock

Death or serious personal injury

• Switch off the power supply before you start any work on

the product.

Three-phase motor shaft rotation can be reversed by

switching any two of the three power leads.

Do not attempt to switch any leads in a single-phase

motor to change the direction of rotation. The rotation of

most single-phase motors is determined by internal wiring

and cannot be changed easily.

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Lockout-Tagout the power supply.
3. Disconnect the coupling from the motor and pump shaft. Motor

shaft spins without driving or contacting the pump shaft.

4. Rotate the motor shaft by hand in both directions.

Verify that the motor spins without binding.

5. Momentarily energize the motor.

Verify that the motor spins in the direction indicated on the

pump volute.

6. Install the coupling and guards.

4.3 Guards

WARNING

Moving machine parts or blades

Death or serious personal injury

• Guards must not be removed while the pump is

operational. Ensure an approved coupling guard is in

place before operating the pump.

Refer to the accessory manufacturer's safety instructions.

4.4 Flushing the system

Before the pump is installed, we recommend that you clean the

Tightly pressed packing will result in burnt packing and

scoring of the shaft or shaft sleeve.

The stuffing box should slowly leak fluid, 40-60 drops per

minute, during operation. When the leak can no longer be

controlled by adjusting the stuffing box gland, add one

additional ring of packing and ensure the gland is loose.

When the leak can no longer be controlled, all packing

rings must be replaced.

• The stuffing box is packed at the factory.
• Each ring is cut to the proper length.

The end of the rings must come together and not overlap.

• The rings are placed in the stuffing box so that the joints of the

packing rings are staggered.

• The stuffing box is furnished with a lantern or seal ring.
  • The box has a tapped connection for grease lubrication, if

applicable.

• 3 oz. (89 mL) of grease must be injected into the stuffing box

every 24 hours of operation.

Automatic grease seal lubrication systems can be

installed as an accessory.

After the stuffing box housing and stuffing box gland reach

approximately the same temperature as the pump parts, the

running-in of the stuffing box gland has been completed. If the

stuffing box leaks too much, tighten it slightly and evenly while the

pump is running. To ensure continuous lubrication, a few drops

should always drip from the stuffing box to protect the packing or

shaft sleeve against damage. See 4.7.1 Recommended packing for

recommendations for leakage rate. If the pump is to be left idle for a

long period of time, we recommend that you replace the packing

before starting the pump.

4.7.1 Recommended packing

Recommended stuffing box packing arrangements for use with

water:

system to remove debris, for example, stubs of welding rod, welding

slag, and loose scale. Protect the pump and other sensitive parts

with startup strainers.

4.5 System decontamination

After the system has been flushed to remove debris, determine

if the system needs to be decontaminated. If the system needs to

be decontaminated, it must be done before priming and filling the

pump.

4.6 Priming

The pump should not be run unless it is completely filled with liquid,

as there is danger of damaging some of the pump components.

If the system has suction pressure, follow these steps:

1. Bleed all air from the pump casing and suction pipe by the

opening of the automatic relief valve at the top of the pump.

2. Rotate the shaft a few times, if possible, to evacuate any air

trapped inside the impeller passages.
