3.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides general information required for installing the
Tonkaflo Pumps AS Series pumps.
3.3 LOCATION
• Install the Tonkaflo pump as close as possible to the source of the
liquid to be pumped. It is ideal for the pump to be fed from an
overhead reservoir or from a supply line under positive pressure.
Pump Installation

Operation & Maintenance Manual
3.4 FOUNDATION
• The foundation for the motor and pump must be sufficiently rigid
and substantial to prevent any significant vibration of the pump
during its operation.
• Level the pump by shimming the bearing frame base (KZA) or the
motor base (KZB, KZC, KTE, and KTF).
• The pump should be leveled so that the oil level is the same at
both bearing frame bearings. See Table 3.1 - Limits of Leveling for
guidelines.
If the pump has not been supplied as an assembled unit, perform the
following steps:
1. Install the coupling flange on the motor shaft. Do not tighten set
screws until after the pump and motor are assembled.
2. Install the flexible coupling sleeve onto the pump coupling flange
and assemble the pump and motor.
3. Adjust the gap between the coupling flanges to the values shown
in Table 3.2 - Coupling Gap Specifications within +1/16 - 0 in. (+1.5
- 0 mm).

1. Right Guard (Stamped with ‘B’) 4. Left Guard (Stamped with ‘L’)
The pump is shipped with the inlet in the upright position. To orient it in
the left or right horizontal position, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the four (4) bolts holding the suction (inlet) housing to the
bearing frame.
2. Rotate the housing 90º, then, replace the four (4) bolts and
tighten.
3. To prime the pump for installation and prior to start-up, vent any
trapped air by removing the pipe plug at the top of the pump inlet
housing.
• The suction (inlet) pipe size immediately ahead of the pump inlet
should be sufficiently sized so the pressure available at the pump
suction (inlet) exceeds the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSHR)
required by the pump. Generally, the suction (inlet) piping should
be as outlined in Table 3.3 - Suction Inlet and Discharge Piping
Specifications.
Table 3.3 - Suction Inlet and Discharge Piping Specifications
Pump Model Piping Size - Inlet Piping Size - Discharge

Operation & Maintenance Manual
• When the pump operates with a suction lift, the suction pipe
should slope upward to the pump from the source of supply,
as detailed in Figure 3.3 - Suction Lift Piping Diagram Correct
(Left) and Incorrect (Right).
• After installation, test the suction line with water and at least
30 psig (2.1 barg) to detect any leaks.
• A bypass pipe, that is, a pipe from the discharge piping back to
the source of liquid supply or suction line, may be needed to
ensure that the pump operation is within the specified flow
range. It is recommended that the connection of a bypass pipe to
the suction line be at least 24 in. (61 cm) away from the pump
inlet.
Pump Installation

GE Water & Process Technologies Tonkaflo Pumps AS Series
Operation & Maintenance Manual
• The pump must not be operated with restricted suction line (inlet)
flow. Positive gauge pressure must be maintained at the pump
inlet (downstream from the filter or screen). A clogged screen or
filter will result in a greater pressure drop.
The bearings are lubricated by maintaining a static oil level within the
bearing frame. Oil circulates from the reservoir through the bearings. An
oil level sight gauge with a “FULL” line is provided with the bearing frame
so the oil level may be viewed and maintained (see Figure 3.5 - Initial Cold
Setting of Oil Level for KZ-Bearing Frame Pumps).

NOTE
• See the MSDS for the synthetic oil in Section 6 - Material
Safety Data Sheets.
2. Continue adding oil until the “FULL” level line is reached on the
sight gauge (see Figure 3.5 - Initial Cold Setting of Oil Level for KZ-
Bearing Frame Pumps).
THE PUMP SHOULD NOT BE RUN IF THE OIL LEVEL IS BELOW THE
“FULL” LINE.
During continuous operation, the oil level may rise above the “FULL” line
by approximately 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) due to expansion.

GE Water & Process Technologies Tonkaflo Pumps AS Series
Operation & Maintenance Manual
• The oil level sight gauge is provided with the bearing frame so the
oil level may be viewed before start-up as a check for proper
installation of the automatic oiler.
• Maintain oil in the oiler bottle at all times and replenish with fresh
oil. Add oil only when the level drops to the height of the metal
cup of the oiler bottle.
• Before adding oil, loosen the drain plug on the side of the bearing
frame opposite the oiler assembly. Remove 1/3 of oil from the
oiler bottle.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE BEARING FRAME. Setting the initial cold oil
level higher than specified will result in higher oil operating
temperatures, reduced oil life, and possible leakage from the top of
the oil level sight gauge.
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides general information and standard operating
procedures (SOPs) for starting up and operating the Tonkaflo Pumps AS
Series. Troubleshooting guidelines are included.
THE INLET PIPING AND PUMP MUST BE FILLED WITH LIQUID (i.e.
PRIMED) BEFORE START-UP.
• If the pump is above the liquid source, fill the pump and supply
line with liquid from an external source.
The pump should not run with a closed discharge for more than 1
minute as the liquid can heat up very quickly and exceed the
maximum operating temperatures, causing irreversible damage to
the wetted internal parts of the liquid end.

2. Apply power for ONE SECOND to check the direction of the motor
shaft rotation. The motor shaft should turn in a clockwise
direction as viewed from the motor end. The direction of rotation
for three-phase motors may be reversed by interchanging any
two leads.
• During operation, the bearing frame will feel hot to the touch. A
new bearing frame will run cooler after 24 hours of operation.
Bearing frame temperatures will typically decrease further after
a few weeks as the bearing frame assembly breaks in.

adapter to the motor side of the bearing frame. Separate the
adapter from the bearing frame.
3. Remove the lock nut, lock washer, and flat washer from the
bearing frame shaft.
5. Inspect the bearing cups and cones for any rough surface
conditions and replace both cup and cone when necessary.
Pitted and galled rollers and/or bearing cap indicates
replacement is necessary.
• Very light marks from the bearing cage may form around
roller during “break-in period”. This is not a problem and
bearing replacement is not necessary.
6. To remove the bearing cup(s) from the bearing frame, use a brass
or soft steel rod and hammer to knock them out.
7. Inspect both oil seals and replace if the seals are no longer pliable
or if they are leaking.

square with the shaft while starting. Make sure the washer
behind bearing cone #1 has been replaced.
3. With the shaft in the bearing frame, press on the second bearing
cone, holding it square with the shaft while starting. Press until
the bearing cone is fully seated against the bearing cup and
there is no end play.
4. Reinstall the tanged flat washer, lock washer, and nut. Hand
tighten the lock nut (left-handed thread) and lightly set a tang on
the lock washer into a slot on the lock nut. If desired, a 3/8-16NC
x 3 bolt may be inserted through a side port in the bearing frame
and into the set screw hole in the end of the bearing frame shaft
(see Figure 5.3 - Removal of Mechanical Seal) when tightening the
lock nut.
5. Using a press, force bearing cone #2 back against the tanged flat
washer by pressing on the motor end of the shaft. This sets the
bearing so that the shaft end play may be checked.
Do not apply excessive force which would distort the threads on the
shaft and lock nut.
6. Check the end play of the shaft (see 5.2.5.2 Bearing Frame
Overhaul Procedure and Figure 5.4 - KZ- and KT-Bearing Frame
Overhaul).
1. Grasp the shaft on the motor side of the bearing frame while
turning the shaft as far as it will go. This ensures that the bearing
