Overheating - Pump TS

Probable Cause	Possible Solutions
1. Ball bearing defect	The ball bearings may be worn or improperly installed. Take pump out of service and inspect.
2. Excessive lubricant	Check lubrication levels. Allow the pump to operate for 15 to 20 minutes with the lubrication plugs removed. This will permit any excess grease to escape the housing, leaving the correct residual amount for proper operation.
3. Packing gland too tight	Loosen packing gland.
4. Misalignment between pump and driver	Check pump and driver alignment.
5. Mechanical defect	The pump shaft may be bent. Rotating elements may be binding. Take the pump out of service and inspect.
