Setup and Installation

1. Mounting: Securely mount the pump to a stable surface or directly to the PTO (Power Take-Off) of your equipment. Ensure the mounting bolts are tightened to prevent vibration and movement during operation. Refer to the pump dimensions diagram for proper fitment.
2. Inlet and Outlet Connections: Connect the inlet and outlet hoses to the pump's 3/4" NPT ports. Use appropriate thread sealant to ensure a leak-free connection. Ensure hoses are free of kinks and obstructions.
3. Shaft Connection: If connecting to a PTO, ensure the shaft is properly aligned and secured to the coupler. The shaft on the pump goes into the coupler that attaches to the PTO. A lock screw connects the coupler to a flat shelf on the shaft. Ensure this set screw is tightened securely to prevent the shaft from spinning free.
4. Power Source: This pump is designed for AC/DC power sources, typically driven by a PTO. Ensure your power source matches the pump's requirements.
5. Initial Inspection: Before first use, inspect all connections for tightness and ensure there are no visible leaks or damage to the pump.

Operating Instructions

• Priming: Ensure the pump is primed before starting. This typically involves filling the pump housing and inlet line with the liquid to be pumped to prevent dry running.
• Starting the Pump: Gradually engage the PTO or power source. Monitor the pump for unusual noises or vibrations.
• Monitoring Performance: Observe the flow rate and pressure. The maximum flow rate is 21.8 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) and maximum pressure is 300 PSI. Do not exceed these limits.
• Fluid Temperature: The maximum fluid temperature for operation is 140°F (60°C).
• Shutting Down: Disengage the PTO or power source. Allow the pump to drain if necessary, especially before maintenance or storage.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your Hypro 6500C pump, especially given its cast iron construction.

• After Each Use:
  • Flush the pump with clean water to remove any chemical residues.
  • Important: After flushing, put oil in the pump. This is critical to prevent rusting and ensure the pump works correctly for future use. Failure to do so can lead to the pump seizing up.
  • Store the pump in a climate-controlled building to protect it from extreme temperatures and moisture.
• Periodic Inspection:
  • Check for wear on rollers and shaft seals. Replace as needed.
  • Inspect all hoses and connections for leaks or damage.
  • Ensure mounting bolts and shaft coupler set screws remain tight.
