Expected Malfunction
Potential Ignition Source
Dry run
Pump bearings
Power frame bearings
High temperature
Measures to take to prevent the source from
becoming effective
All moving parts in the pumps are submersed in the
pumped fluid, which acts as a lubricant and
coolant. Do not run the pump dry.
Recommend Power monitor
Recommend Flow indicator
Recommend Pressure switch
Recommend Temperature monitors
Max. radial wear on bearings is .13 mm (.005 in)
Monitor pump daily when pumping non-lubricating
fluids for high temperatures at bearing bosses
Every 1000 hours inspect the pump for wear and
rebuild with a KOPKit if necessary
Typical life of the pump bearings is 2000 hours.
Regular maintenance and good record keeping will
provide a more accurate service interval
Check condition of lip seals for the power frame
every month to insure lubricant containment
