2. Safety Information
Always observe safety precautions to prevent injury and damage to equipment. This pump is designed for specific applications; ensure it is used within its stated performance limits.
- Read all instructions: Familiarize yourself with the pump's operation before use.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE): Including eye protection and gloves.
- Ensure proper ventilation: When operating in enclosed spaces.
- Disconnect power: Always disconnect power to the motor before performing any maintenance or service.
- Avoid hot surfaces: The pump and motor can become hot during operation.
- Use correct fluids: Only pump fluids compatible with the pump's materials.
- Secure mounting: Ensure the pump is securely mounted to prevent vibration and movement.
3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the pump's performance and longevity.
3.1 Mounting
Mount the pump on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight and resisting operational vibrations. Use appropriate fasteners to secure the pedestal base.

3.2 Plumbing Connections
- Inlet Port: Connect a 1 1/4 inch NPT pipe to the inlet. Ensure the suction line is as short and straight as possible to minimize friction loss.
- Outlet Port: Connect a 1 inch NPT pipe to the outlet.
- Use thread sealant on all connections to prevent leaks.
- Ensure all hoses and pipes are adequately supported to prevent strain on the pump ports.
3.3 Shaft Rotation
The standard pump shaft rotation is Counter-Clockwise (CCW) when viewed from the shaft end. Verify the rotation of your power source matches the pump's requirement.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Priming the Pump
Before initial operation, the pump must be primed. Fill the pump casing and suction line with the fluid to be pumped. This helps establish a vacuum for efficient operation.
4.2 Starting the Pump
- Ensure all connections are secure and there are no leaks.
- Verify the pump is properly primed.
- Gradually start the power source (e.g., engine or motor) connected to the pump shaft.
- Monitor for proper flow and pressure.
4.3 Stopping the Pump
To stop the pump, gradually reduce the power source speed or shut off the motor. Close any valves in the discharge line if necessary.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pump.
5.1 Post-Operation Flush
After each use, especially when pumping corrosive or abrasive fluids, flush the pump with clean water to prevent buildup and corrosion.
5.2 Seal Inspection and Replacement
Periodically inspect the pump seals for wear or leakage. The pump uses Viton/ceramic standard seals. Life Guard™ silicon carbide, Buna-N ceramic, and Viton/silicon carbide are also available. Refer to the specifications for your specific seal type.
5.3 Winterization
In freezing conditions, drain all fluid from the pump and lines to prevent damage from ice expansion. Store the pump in a dry, protected environment.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump fails to prime | Insufficient fluid in casing/suction line, air leak in suction line, clogged suction filter. | Ensure pump is fully primed. Check all suction connections for tightness. Clean or replace suction filter. |
| Low flow or pressure | Clogged impeller, worn seals, incorrect shaft speed, air in system. | Inspect and clean impeller. Replace worn seals. Verify power source RPM. Bleed air from system. |
| Excessive noise/vibration | Misalignment, cavitation, loose mounting, worn bearings (if applicable). | Check alignment of pump and power source. Ensure adequate fluid supply to prevent cavitation. Tighten mounting bolts. Consult a technician for bearing issues. |
| Leakage from pump | Worn shaft seal, loose connections, cracked casing. | Replace shaft seal. Tighten all plumbing connections. Inspect casing for damage. |
