PI Operation Manual
These units are vertical process pumps of the overhung configuration and identified by WDM
Pumps as PI.
It is recommended that the services of a WDM Pumps installation technician be employed for
the installation and initial starting of the pump. Such service will help to ensure the user that the
equipment is properly installed, and will provide an excellent opportunity for the plant operator to
receive useful tips and guidelines relative to the unit. The tools and/or equipment referenced in
this manual are not supplied by WDM Pumps unless specifically ordered. This pump design can
be serviced with standard maintenance tools.
Instructions in this manual are written for trained, experienced technicians who are familiar with the
basic principles and tools involved in the installation, care and service of a pump and who, as part
of their trade education have acquired the ability to interpret and follow the detailed specifications
required for such installation, care, and service. Successful operation of the unit is dependent on
careful study of the manual and a well-planned maintenance program.
A complete reading of this manual by personnel in contact with the pump is essential to safety.
Incorrect installation, operation or maintenance can result in personal injury or death to personnel
and damage to the pump and plant.
Before performing any service function be certain that the unit is separate from its power source
or that the power source is locked out to prevent any form of energy from entering the equipment.
Contact with hot surfaces of the pump can cause severe burns. Care must be taken where such
surfaces are exposed. Care must also be taken to prevent ignition of flammable fluids or other
material.
Information in this manual is believed to be reliable, but it is not guaranteed by WDM Pumps as to
its completeness or accuracy.

PI Operation Manual
Theseoperatinginstructions containimportantinformation abouttheinstallation, operationandservice
ofthe unit.It istherefore imperativethat theinstalling engineerand theresponsible specialist/operating
personnel read and understand these operating instructions before installation and commencement
of operation.
This manual must always be available in the operational area of the machine/plant.
Please contact a WDM Pumps dealer should problems arise. The pump may only be opened by a
WDM Pumps approved technician during the guarantee period.
In case of queries, please have your project number and type designation of the pump available. You
can find both of these on the first page of these operating instructions or on the rating plate fixed to
the pump.
When ordering spare parts we would further request that you give the description of the required
parts, together with their part numbers and identity numbers. You can find these on the sectional
drawing and spare part list enclosed.
WDM Pumps of type PI are In-Line Vertical pumps, vertically (radially) split case, centerline supported
with an overhung impeller.
The PI is a single stage, single suction pump. For these pumps, rotation is clockwise as viewed
from the motor (coupling) end. These pumps have a top Pull-Out which simplifies maintenance.
The complete rotor assembly is easily removed for inspection without disturbing the pump’s piping.
When performing maintenance to the mechanical seal, it is not necessary to remove the complete top
assembly, as this pump has a split coupling that allows easy removal and access to the mechanical
seal without removing the motor (driver) or adapter.
The PI pump has a carbon made bushing for pump shaft alignment.
The following information is included in the nameplate of your pump unit:
• Serialnumber
• RPM
• Head

PI Operation Manual
1.2.1 Pump Case
Developed in cast iron, it is radially split with four bosses for cooling purposes, venting valve to
extract air from the system, and manometers inspection.
1.2.2 Impeller
Single-suction, closed-cast impeller, in one piece, dynamically balanced with balancing holes
near the hub, designed to meet high performance during the pumps life.
1.2.3 Adapter
The adapter connects the vertical motor with the case to transmit the power to the impeller through
the shafts (motor and pump) and the split coupling. This part has with two lifting ears that allow an
easier carry and handle. The bracket has a drainer plug, which avoids accumulation of condensed
water inside the pump.
The PI pump has an outside balanced mechanical seal option, inside unbalanced mechanical seal
option, as well as packaging option. Mechanical seal (stationary part) holder with cooling system.

3.1 SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS
A wooden skid is furnished for support and ease of transportation. Other required items (e.g.
hardware, spare parts, etc.) are boxed or secured to the skid.
3.2 UNLOADING AND CHECKING EQUIPMENT
The following steps should be completed for all pumps when received.
1. Handle all equipment carefully.
2. Remove unit only by properly supporting the wooden shipping skid.
3.Afterunloading,inspectthepump,checktheshipmentagainstthepackinglist,andreportdamages
or shortages immediately to freight carrier and to the designated WDM Pumps representative.
3.3 TRANSPORT
• Toavoiddamage,theunitmustbetransportedandhandledwithcare.Itshouldbegently
lowered onto an even surface. Pay attention to and indentify the signs marking the points of
equilibrium and fastening places for ropes, or the openings for forklift trucks.
• Observetheplant’ssafetyprecautionswhenliftingheavycomponents.
• Since the unit is shipped horizontally, it must first be placed vertically to remove it from
the pallet. To do such operation, use the lifting lug on the motor (driver), to tilt the unit until it is in
vertical position. To prevent the pallet from moving, secure it before starting this operation. Once
the pump is in vertical position and correctly supported, the rope or chain is placed under the driver
and through the adapter. Both techniques are illustrated in Figure 3.1.
