6.0LIQUID END - TONKAFLO SERVICE POLICY

Sections 4.0 (General Troubleshooting for All Pumps) and 5.0 (Tonkaflo Pump Field Maintenance) in the Tonkaflo Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual were written to assist our customers in performing minor maintenance in the field of Tonkaflo pumps. Proper maintenance will ensure longer pump life and minimize downtime. Tonkaflo pumps are manufactured to make field repairs on the mechanical seal a quick and easy process. If a repair at the factory is desired, call the factory for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number (Section 7.0) and follow the directions provided by a GE representative. For motor problems, such as worn-out motor bearings, it is recommended that maintenance be done at a local motor repair shop.

WARNING: FIELD SERVICE OF THE LIQUID END, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If a liquid end is damaged by running the pump dry, inadequate flow, deadheading, cavita- tion, or other reasons, return it with the motor to the factory for repair.
