1. Installation:
1.1 Interchangeability

The MAKDADDY horizontal centrifugal pumps outside envelope dimensions are the same as the
older 2 ½” pumps of the same nominal size so that models can be interchanged without changing
piping, couplings, or bases.

1.2 Location

The pump should be as close as possible to the liquid source so that the suction line can be as short
and direct as possible. The pump should be located below the level of the liquid to eliminate the
necessity of priming the pump.

1.3 Foundation

When fabricated skids or bases are being utilized, the foundation should be sufficiently rigid and
substantial to absorb any vibration and provide the base plate support at all points. A concrete
foundation poured on solid footing of adequate thickness to support the pumping unit will provide
the most satisfactory foundation. The base plate should be at a level position when being installed.

1.4 Pump Alignment

Maximum service life of the pump and driver depends upon good alignment through the flexible
coupling. If the electric motor was mounted at the factory then the pump and motor were in
alignment when shipped. To ensure that transportation or other handling has not caused
misalignment of the unit, the alignment between the pump and driver should be inspected after
installation. Poor alignment may cause failure of the coupling, pump, motor or bearings. Alignment
must not be attempted until the base is in position and the mounting and flange bolts have been
tightened.

of pump shaft and motor shaft with of pump shaft and motor shaft with
dial indicator gauge. dial indicator gauge.

The recommended procedure for coupling alignment is with the use of a dial indicator, as illustrated
in figures 1 and 2 above. The dial indicator is attached to one coupling half with the indicator button
resting on the O.D. of the other coupling half to measure offset misalignment. To measure angular
misalignment, the indicator is positioned so that the indicator button rests on the coupling half face
near the O.D. Rotate the shaft and dial indicator one revolution while the other shaft remains
stationary. Note the total indicator run out. Unless otherwise specified by the coupling manufacturer,
offset misalignment should be limited to 0.005 inches T.I.R. Adjust the alignment by loosening the
pump or driver mounting bolts and retighten or shim as required.

In areas where a dial indicator arrangement is not available, an adequate job of alignment can be
done with a straightedge. This method is especially useful if the coupling used contains a rubber
drive element.

1.5 Piping, General

Piping must not be connected to the pump until the foundation grout has hardened and the pump
anchor bolts have been tightened.

Pipe should be anchored independent of the pump and as near to it as possible. Pipe companion
flanges should line up naturally with the pump flanges without being forced to align. Do not draw
the pipe to the pump with the flange bolts.

1.6 Suction Piping

Properly selected and installed suction piping is extremely important to eliminate cavitation in the
pump. Vibration can cause packing problems, mechanical seal damage or under bearing loads.

The suction line should be equal to or greater than the pump suction. The capacity of a centrifugal
pump should never be adjusted by throttling the suction line. A positive shut-off valve that causes
minimal turbulence should be installed in the suction line to allow removal of the pump for inspec-
tion and maintenance.

Pg 2
When designing the suction line, the piping should gradually slope downwards to the supply source
to eliminate any air pockets. The suction line should also have a straight section of pipe that runs
into the pump with a length equivalent to at least two times its diameter; for instance, a 4” suction
line should have an 8” straight run.

For temporary hook-up when flexible hose is used, a non-collapsing hose is essential since the
suction line pressure is often lower than the atmospheric pressure.

1.7 Discharge Piping

A positive shut-off valve should be located in the discharge piping to permit the closing of the line
for the removal of the pump for inspection and maintenance. All piping should be independently
supported and accurately aligned. The pump must not support the weight of the pipe or compen-
sate for misalignment of the piping. If operating conditions are not known with certain accuracy, it
will be necessary to provide a throttle valve in the discharge line to ensure that the pump operates
at the design point. If the pump is connected to a pressurized system, it is important to install a
check valve between the pump discharge and the throttling valve. The check valve will prevent
backflow through the pump. Backflow may cause the impeller to become loose on the shaft. A loose
impeller will likely result in mechanical damage and fluid leakage beneath the shaft sleeve.

2. Operation
2.1 Preparing for Operation

All MAKDADDY pumps are shipped pre-lubed with grease. To prevent pressure build-up due to
heating that occurs during standard operation, the breather located on top of the pump should be
kept clean. When lubrication is required there are grease fittings located on the front and rear
bearing caps (see figure to right).

Be sure the pump is never started dry. The mechanical seal faces will gall in about one minutes if the
pump is run dry. The back-up packing will help the pump to run with minimal leakage for a short
period of time, but seal replacement will be necessary.

Pg 3
2.2 Start-up Check List

1. Pump should rotate freely by hand.

2. Ensure coupling is aligned.

3. Suction valve fully open.

4. Pump and suction valve full of fluid.

5. Discharge valve is slightly open, not fully open. Fully open the discharge after the pump is running.

3. Maximum Operating Conditions


3.1 Conditions

Note: These maximum operating conditions apply to pumps which are exposed to room
temperatures without external insulation.

• Cast Iron: Maximum working pressure is 175 psig at 150°F or 150 psig at 250°F. Interpolate for
pressure between 150°F and 250°F maximum.

• When fluid is being pumped between 150°F and 250°F cooling water should be run through the
lantern ring. In addition, it may be necessary to run water over the exposed shaft to prevent
excessive heat buildup at the lip seals and bearings.

• Maximum hydraulic performance is in accordance with published performance curves.

3.2 Pump Records

Maintain data cards or pump records whenever possible. This will provide ready access to
information for ordering spare parts and for evaluating pump and mechanical seal performance.

Information that should be included in these records:

• Pump size and serial number.

• Pump model number, impeller diameter and material of construction.

• Mechanical seal manufacturer, type code and drawing number.

• Motor horsepower and speed of operation.

• Service conditions.

• Frequency of operation.

• Record of maintenance, including parts, usage and general pump conditions.

• Nomenclature and part number of replacement items.

4. Lubrication
4.1 Grease Lubrication

The MAKDADDY pump comes direct from the factory lubricated with grease. We recommend high
quality lithium grease for all bearing lubrication (PSI Part No. 62/B25661). Note that many types of
grease are incompatible with other greases. Using two types of incompatible greases can lead to
premature bearing failure.

4.2 Oil Lubrication

As an option, PSI offers pumps which have bearings oil lubricated from the factory to lower bearing
temperature and wear. Use a quality 10W-30 weight motor oil. Do not use a detergent oil as
foaming may occur. There is a plug on the side of the pump bearing frame; when adding oil, be sure
to remove this plug. The oil is at the correct level when oil runs out this hole. Replace the Trico
Oiler. Do not overfill the oil. High oil levels may cause churning and overheating of the bearings. Oil
should be changed every 1 to 2 months or every 1000 hours of operation. Note: When oil
lubrication is used the pumps must be used in a horizontal position only.

4.3 Inboard Lip Seal Lubrication

Note: New MAKDADDY pumps ship with labyrinth seals, not lip seals. Disregard this section for
most MAKDADDY pumps. The inboard bearing cover is supplied with a zerk fitting between the 9
and 10 o’clock position. It should be greased prior to wash down and at least once per week with
general purpose grease.

4.4 Packing Lubrication

The stuffing box may be re-lubricated with grease as often as necessary to prevent the packing from
overheating. It should be lubricated at least once per day. It is best to install a spring loaded grease
cup to automatically lubricate the packing. As you fill the grease cup a spring is compressed and a
stem rises. As the grease is used the spring forces new grease to the packing and the stem lowers.
When the stem is low the cup needs refilling. Grease should be pumped into the box while turning
the shaft until it comes out around the packing gland (approximately 20 shots). If the packing
leakage is excessive, thick water pump grease should be used rather than the general purpose
grease which is normally acceptable.

Pg 5
5. Assembly
5.1 Shaft and Bearing Assembly Grease Lubrication

Note: Installation of the bearings with a press is an acceptable substitute for the following method.
Apply the load to the inner race only when pressing the bearings onto the shaft.

1. Heat the bearings to 300°F.

2. Slip large double row inboard bearing (11) onto the shaft. Caution: Bearings must shoulder
against the shaft.

3. With the bearing housing seal (12A) in place, slide the bearing housing (12) onto the shaft from
the coupling end. The large O.D. of the bearing housing should be facing the coupling end.

4. Slip the outboard bearings (14) onto the shaft. Note: Outboard bearings are to be mounted back
to back (That is, the sides of the bearings with the
manufacturer’s label and bearing number are placed together -
see image). Improper bearing orientation will result in bearing
failure. Check the installation requirements provided with the
pump and the markings on the bearings to help identify the
“back-to-back” arrangement. Caution: Bearings must shoulder
against the shaft. Allow the bearings to cool. With lock washer
(14A) in place, tighten lockout (14B) with the bevel positioned
against the bearings. Tighten the locknut to 250 ft-lb of torque.
Bend one tab of the lock washer into the nut.

5. Pack the bearings using a high quality lithium grease (PSI Part No. 62/B2556-1).

6. Pull the bearing housing over the outboard bearings. The outer races may be pushed in with a
hand push or with a light tapping applied only to the outer race.

7. Install lip seal (13C) in outboard bearing cover (13) with the lip aimed in toward the bearings.
Generously lubricate the rubber lip and the shaft in the sealing area. Fill the space behind the lip on
the seal and half of the bearing cover with grease.

8. Put cover seal O-ring (13B) in place. Slide the outboard bearing cover over the shaft. Caution: Be
careful not to cut the oil seal on the edge of the shaft keyway. Secure over two bolts (13D) and
tighten evenly to approximately 20 ft-lb of torque.

The outboard bearings are the pump’s thrust bearings. The manufacturer’s part numbers should
face one another when mounted on the shaft. Failure to mount bearings properly will cause
bearing failure.

5.2 Power Frame Sub-Assembly

1. Install inboard bearing cover seal (10C) into the inboard cover (10) flush with the backside of the
cover. Install exclusion seal (10F) flush with the outside of the cover. The sealing lips on both seals
should be pointed outward (away) from the bearing for grease lubrication, while the lip of (10C)

Pg 6
points inward for oil lubrication. Pack the area between lips seals full with grease. Using grease to
hold it in place, place the inboard bearing cover gasket (10B) on the cover.

2. The bores of the bearing frame must be clean. Lightly oil the bores to facilitate the insertion of the
bearing train. Insert the shaft and bearing sub-assembly into the frame (9) until the threaded end of
the shaft extends approximately halfway into the drip pan area.

3. The bearing train will slip in relatively easily by pushing the coupling end with one hand and
pulling the opposite end with the other. A rubber mallet may be used to pound on the end of the
shaft assembly to help it align. Do not use excessive force. If installation is difficult, it indicates a lack
of concentricity between the bearings and frame. Excessive pounding will damage the bearings.

4. Slip inboard bearing cover assembly (10A) over the end of the shaft. Continue installing the shaft
and bearing assembly in the frame until the gap between the frame and outboard bearing housing
flange is approximately 1/4 inch.

5. Install two bolts (12B-1/2D x 11/2 inch) with jam nuts (12C) in the threaded holes in the bearing
housing. Install the remaining two bolts (12B) through the unthreaded holes in the bearing housing
and thread them into the frame. Do not tighten any bolts.

6. Bolt the inboard cover to the frame with bolts (10D-3/8D x 11/2 inch) and nuts (10E).

7. Lubricate I.D. of deflector (8). Slip the deflector on the shaft with the cup side facing away from
the bearing cover.

8. Slip shaft sleeve seal (7C) onto the shaft and push it to the shoulder where the seal will seat. For
pumps with a mechanical seal, follow the mechanical seal installation instructions on page 6 for
assembling the remainder of the pump.

9. The sleeved area of the shaft must be lightly coated with an anti-seize compound before installing
the sleeve. Install sleeve (7A) with a twisting motion to spread the anti-seize compound. The gap
between the sleeve and the shaft shoulder will be approximately 1/32 inch.

5.3 Mechanical Assembly

If the impeller and/or stuffing box are being replaced, adjust the impeller clearance before installing
the seal. Back the through bolts (12B) out approximately 1/4 inch. Tighten the jam bolts (12B) until a
clearance of 0.015-0.020 inch between the back of the impeller (2) and the stuffing box (3) is
obtained. Alternately tighten the through bolts and jam bolts making sure that the clearance set
above is maintained. Tighten the jam nuts and recheck the clearance. Ensure that the impeller turns
freely.

2. Make sure the shoulder where the stationary will sit and the inside of the stuffing box (3) is clean
and that the 30° bevel on the 33/8 inch I.D. is free from burrs and sharp edges. Coat the I.D. of the
stuffing box stationary seat packet with oil. Place the stuffing box on a table or other flat surface
with the impeller side facing up.

3. The slotted side of stationary seal must be installed away from the impeller or down when the
stuffing box is positioned as described in step 2 above. Coat the O.D. of the stationary seat and O-
ring with a thin film of oil.

4. Carefully install the stationary seat into the stuffing box. Be sure the groove of the stationary fits
properly over the drive pin. Be sure the stationary seats evenly against the stuffing box shoulder.
Hint: Wrap the end of a wooden hammer handle, or something similar, with a rag. Press firmly on
the face of the stationary. Do not strike, the tungsten carbide can easily shatter. Push gently on
one side, alternating sides until the stationary is completely down. Coat the stationary face with
light oil, and then wipe off the majority of the oil with a clean cloth, leaving only a light film.

5. Lubricate the inside of the frame (9) where the stuffing box (3) slips in with an anti-seize
compound. Install the stuffing box and secure with bolts (3A-1/2D x 11/4 inch). Care should be taken
to prevent bumping of the stationary seal on the shaft end.

6. Remove the rotating seal ring if it is not glued into position and store in a safe place. Gluing can be
determined by pulling on it gently. Coat the O.D. of the shaft sleeve (7A) and I.D. of the rubber
bellows with a thin coat of oil.

7. Place the sleeve (7A) with the impeller end up on the table. The impeller end is the end with the
smallest I.D. With the sealing face of the rotary unit facing down and the rubber end up, gently ease
the rubber bellows over the sleeve and push it to the bottom half of the sleeve.

It is not necessary to push it all the way to the bottom. If the rotating seal ring has been removed,
lightly coat the face of the bellows with grease. (This is necessary to hold the rotating seal ring in
place during assembly). Reinstall the rotating seal ring into the cage assembly.

Pg 11
8. Make sure no foreign material is present on the seal faces. Make sure the shaft (7) is free of nicks
and burrs and is clean and dry. The sleeve area of the shaft, the shaft threads, and the shaft face
must be lightly coated with anti-seize compound before installing the sleeve (7A). Install sleeve with
a twisting motion. As the seal faces make contact, continue to push the sleeve through the I.D. of
the rotary seal element until the gap between the sleeve and the shaft shoulder is approximately
1/32 inch.

9. Install the spring retainer and the impeller O-ring (2A) in the groove and coat with anti-seize
compound. Place the mechanical seal spring over the rotary unit of the seal (which is inside the
stuffing box cover).

10. Thread the impeller (2) onto the shaft (7). Be sure the spring engages in the retainer on the
impeller. Tighten to approximately 60 ft/lb of torque.

11. Install the casing gasket (1A). Hold it in place with grease if necessary. Apply a light coat of anti-
seize compound on the 141/8 inch diameter of the stuffing box cover. Install the casing on the frame
using studs (1C) and the nuts (1B). Put small quantity of anti-seize compound on the threads on the
nut ends of the studs. Tighten the nuts to 140 ft/lb of torque using a criss-cross tightening pattern.

12. The three shaft packing rings (5A) are for emergency back up until the mechanical seal can be
replaced. When they are installed, first grease them, then insert all packing rings alternating the
splits from top to bottom starting with the split on the first ring at the bottom.

5.4 Packing the Pump

1. Make sure the stuffing box is cleaned of all old packing and, if the pump had no mechanical seal,
the plastic lantern ring should be removed.

2. Bend a wire and pull it down the shaft or shaft sleeve to ensure it is smooth for good packing life.

3. Grease all five shaft packing rings (5B). Insert three packing rings alternating the splits in the rings
from the top to the bottom starting with the split on the first ring on the top.

4. Install the lantern ring with the split in the vertical position. The two halves of the packing gland
(4) may be used to push the packing and the lantern ring together and to the bottom of the box.

5. Insert the final three packing rings. The objective is to have the last split down so that the leakage
will drip down and not have to go over the shaft and possibly in the bearings.

Pg 12
6. With the packing gland (4) in position, swing the gland bolts into place. Initially tighten the gland
hard to compress the packing. Then back off the gland bolts and retighten only finger tight. Caution:
Tighten the gland against the packing finger tight only. If packing is tightened excessively it may be
burned when the pump is started.

5.5 Disassembly

1. Loosen packing gland nuts (6B) and swing the gland bolts to the side. Remove the packing gland
halves.

2. Remove the casing stud nuts (1B) and remove the casing.

3. Remove the impeller. The impeller threads are right handed. Note: The MAKDADDY Impeller
Removal Wrench, Part No. 62/B20952 is very useful (pictured below). The wrench fits over the shaft
and shaft keyway. To remove the impeller, turn the wrench very fast in a clockwise direction.

When the wrench handle hits the workbench and stops, the impact force will loosen the impeller. If
you do not have a wrench, restrain the shaft at the coupling end to prevent rotation while moving
the impeller. Put a block of wood against the web between impeller vanes. Hit the wooden block
with a hammer to turn the impeller counterclockwise as viewed from the suction end.

4. Remove the stuffing box cover bolts.

5. Remove the stuffing box cover (3) from the frame by hammering on the back side of the cover in
the area that the box fits into the frame.

Note: If the disassembly being performed does not require the replacement of the mechanical
seal, the stationary face must not be removed from the stuffing box.

6. Pull the packing (5A) from the stuffing box bore.

7. Remove the shaft sleeve (7A). A wedge may be driven between the end of the sleeve and the
shoulder of the shaft to free the sleeve. If the pump has a mechanical seal that does not need to be
replaced, care must be taken to avoid damaging or dropping the rotary seal ring when removing the
sleeve. Note: If the disassembly is being performed to replace or install a mechanical seal and/or
shaft sleeve only, no further disassembly is required. See mechanical seal installation instructions
on page 6.

8. Remove the deflector (8).

9. Remove the plug from the inboard bearing cover (10A).

Pg 12Pg 13
10. Remove the two through bolts (12B) on the outboard bearing housing. These are bolts threaded
into the frame.

11. The complete shaft and bearing subassembly can now be pulled from the frame.

12. Remove the outboard bearing cover (13).

13. Bend the tab on the lock washer (14A) back and remove the locknut (14B) from the shaft. Note:
Impacting of the entire shaft assembly against a board on the ground will remove the outboard
bearing assembly.

14. The inboard bearing (11) may now be pressed off the shaft. Note: A piece of 3” standard wall
pipe slipped over the shaft and impacted against the inner race of the bearing works exceptionally
well.

5.6 Inspection
1. Impeller: Replace the impeller if it shows excessive erosion (especially on the pump-out vanes
on the back of the impeller), corrosion, extreme wear or vane breakage.
2. Shaft: Check for run out to see that the shaft has not been bent. If run out exceeds 0.0002,
replace the shaft. The bearing seats and oil seal area must be smooth and free of scratches and
grooves. Shaft threads must be in good condition. Replace the shaft if necessary.
3. Shaft Sleeve: The shaft sleeve surface in the stuffing box must be smooth and free of grooves. If
it is grooved, replace it.
4. Mechanical seal: The shaft sleeve surface in the stuffing box must be smooth and free of
grooves. If it is grooved, replace it.
5. Ball Bearings: Replace bearings if worn, loose, or rough and noisy when rotated. New bearings
should not be unwrapped until ready for use. Replacement bearings must be the proper size and
type as supplied with the original equipment.
6. Seals: It is recommended that all O-ring and gasket seals be removed during disassembly and
replaced. In those cases where new seals are not available, the old ones can be reused if they
are not torn or otherwise damaged.
7. General: All parts should be clean before assembly. This is especially important for retaining
rings and O-ring grooves, threads, gasket surfaces, bearings and bearing surfaces. Any burrs
should be removed with an abrasive cloth.
