instructions. If a coupling guard is furnished with the unit,
ensure that it is securely fastened in place.

1. Packing:
If the pumpage is dirty or hot, it is not suitable to lubricate the
packing. An external source must be utilized, unless the bypass
is equipped with proper separator, filter, and/or cooling system.
This must be piped into the lantern ring connection, also (refer
to packing recommendations).
2. Mechanical Seals:
When mechanical seals are supplied, they are installed and
adjusted at the factory. They must not run dry or in abrasives.
Connect recirculation, flush and/or cooling lines as required,
following instructions on the seal print supplied for the unit.
