Install a grid at intake.8) Clean the pump and repeat the operation after each single use.9) Increase the level of liquid at intake to prevent air intake.10) Check seals and carefully tighten the pipes unions.11) Tighten or replace the gland. If a mechanical seal is used, carefully clean and replace it if necessary.12) Increase rpm.13) Modify electric connections.14) Increase the pressure at the inlet lowering the pump position and lower the inlet fluid temperature.15) Fill the pump, install a device preventing dry working.16) Replace the stator.17) Replace the stator, check if the fluid corresponds to the order and if necessary change stator rubber.18) Replace the rotor and try to identify the cause, which may be abrasion, corrosion or cavitation.19) Replace worn parts.20) Re-align pump and elastic joint.21) Replace broken part and re-align.22) Replace bearings, lubricate and tight.23) Lower rpm through variator.24) Check viscosity and compare it with the order.25) Check specific weight and compare it with the order.26) Choose a different mechanical seal or packing.Note: For any query, please contact Nova Rotors or our local agent.9 DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY OF COMPONENTSPREMISE1. Comply with the safety measures set out in Chapter 2 of this Manual.2. The pump and its piping shall be emptied and cooled.9.1 DISASSEMBLY OF ROTOR-STATOR1. Disconnect the pump from intake and delivery pipes.2. Support the pump body (01) with wooden blocks (02) under the stator (03).
