The continuous working time under the rated maximum working pressure shall not exceed one hour, and the continuous working pressure shall be controlled within 80% of the rated pressure (refers to the thick mud medium).
* Should pay attention to the appropriate tightness and should not leak washing liquid, or timely adjustment or replacement of parts.
* Rubber parts should be stored in cool, dry, small temperature change (room temperature within 10-25℃), dark light, no ultraviolet ray into the best room (window glass painted red or orange yellow, can not be painted blue), storage time is not more than half a year.
* Pull rod, plunger, crosshead sleeve, cross and other metal parts should be stored in dry and non-corrosive gas room, and coated with anti-rust oil or wax seal, wax removal and clean when using, check whether there are bumps and burr, especially the working surface in contact with rubber parts, grease should be applied when assembling.
* Long-term mud pump stop also must pump water and oil all out, clean up the mud and dirt on the components, and the following parts coated with grease: crankshaft journal, crosshead, crosshead sliding sleeve, pull rod, valve cover, cylinder head, valve seat hole and valve stem and valve seat, etc..
* In the winter season or cold areas, when the pump is stopped for a long time, the flushing liquid in the pump and the pipelines must be released to avoid freezing and cracking equipment.

1. The connection between the components, the fixed pump on the foundation, the oil level of the lubricating oil in the pump body
Once Per Shift
2. Tighten and seal suction and discharge hoses and whether they are blocked
Once Per Shift
3. Fastening condition of plunger, tie rod and crosshead
Do it at least once a week
4. Dust-proof sealing ring for inlet and drainage valve and pull rod

If your mud pumps are in trouble, how to do it? Following is our advices, you can check this solutions firstly.
The horizontal mud pump cannot reach the displacement or cannot discharge the flushing fluid at all. The specific causes are as follows:
Common Failures for the Mud Pumps
Solutions
1. The suction pipe comes out of the water.
Make the suction pipe immersed in the liquid level, the depth is not less than 0.3-0.5m.
2. Suction pipe blocked.
Remove the suction pipe and clean it.
3. The suction pipe is blocked.
Disassemble suction pipe and clean.
4. Suction pipe seal is not tight, inhale air.
Check connections and hoses and eliminate them.
5. The inlet and drain valves are stuck and not working.
Due to valve or valve seat wear stuck replacement parts, due to mud and sand blockage is cleaned.
6. Wear of plunger and cylinder liner.
Tighten nuts or replace parts.
7. Suction pipe is not filled with water or air.
Fill with water and remove air.
8. Suction height exceeds allowable value.
Lower the suction height to less than 2.5m. (Less than 1m for thick mud).
9. Suction pipe too long or too small diameter.
Reduce the length within 5m or increase the pipe diameter to the specified size.
10. The hydraulic motor doesn't work.
Check the oil circuit.
11. Drain gate closed.
Open the gate.
