WARNING: ALWAYS SHUT OFF ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE INSTALLATION AND / OR SERVICING THIS PUMP.
ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING SHOULD MEET STATE AND LOCAL ORDINANCES. IMPROPER WIRING MAY NOT ONLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD BUT MAY
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE MOTOR AND/OR PUMP. 230V 50 HZ MOTORS AVAILABLE - CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER FOR INFORMATION.
We congratulate you on your choice of the Advance 4000 Centrifugal Pump. It has been carefully designed using the advantages of today’s technology and care-
fully constructed to give you the dependability of yesterday. To insure proper performance, we urge you to carefully follow the instructions in this manual. If you
have any questions, please call your supplier for assistance or visit www.mdminc.com/support.
INSTALLATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED THE ADVANCE PUMP WILL PROVIDE DEPENDABLE TROUBLE-FREE SERVICE.
1. Locate the pump as near the fluid source as possible. A flooded suction situation is preferred.
2. Mount motor base to a secure, immobile foundation.
3. Use only plastic fittings on both the intake and discharge ports. Seal pipe connections with Teflon®paste. These fittings should be self-supported and in
neutral alignment with each port (i.e. Fittings must not be forced into alignment which may cause premature line failure or damage to the pump volute).
4. Never restrict the intake. Keep both input and discharge lines as free of elbows and valves as possible. Always use pipe of adequate diameter. This will reduce
friction losses and maximize output.
ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP
1. Check that supply voltages match the motor’s requirements.
2. Check motor wiring and connect, according to instructions on motor, to match supply voltage.
3. For 3 phase motors, verify phase rotation with rotation meter. Incorrect rotation can cause serious damage to pump and/or motor. MDM Incorporated does
not recommend checking rotation by quickly switching power on and off because serious damage can occur.
4. Power cord should be protected by conduit or by cable and be of proper gauge. It should be no longer than necessary.
5. Power should be drawn directly from a box with circuit breaker protection or with a fused disconnect switch.
WARNING: DO NOT RUN DRY

PUMP END ASSEMBLY
1. Electrically connect the motor so that the impeller will rotate counterclockwise when facing the pump with the motor toward the rear. Warning: Incorrect
rotation will damage the pump and void the warranty. For 3 Phase Power: Electrically check rotation of impeller with volute disassembled from bracket If
pump end is assembled and rotation is incorrect, serious damage to pump end assembly can occur even if the switch is “quickly bumped.” If rotation is
incorrect, simply exchange any two leads.
2. Clean and inspect all pump parts (0-ring, seal seats, motor shaft, etc.).
3. Apply sealant to the bracket bore ID wall and around the seal case - follow sealant mfg. instructions. We recommend using Gasgacinch®, Permatex® or 3M®
1300L. Silicone sealant can also be used for seals with metallic casings (not for Impenatra®seal).
4. Press seal head into bracket using a tool that is 1.5’’ (38mm) in width that will apply pressure to the seal case shoulder. Warning: Do not apply pressure to the
carbon or silicon carbide seal head.
5. Step A: Place slinger (rubber washer) over motor shaft. Step B: Mount bracket to motor using four M bolts supplied using a 9/16” (15mm) ratchet wrench.
Step C: Tighten bolts in a cross pattern to 60 in-lbs.
6. Step A: Carefully, lubricate the seal seat elastomer OD and impeller hub ID with water. Step B: Press the seal seat into the impeller hub making certain that
the ceramic is in evenly - the sealing surface should be parallel with the impeller hub.
7. Carefully lubricate carbon-graphite and ceramic sealing surfaces with clean water. Warning: Do not use silicon lubricants or grease.
8. Step A: Thread impeller onto shaft and tighten! If required, remove motor end-cap and use a screwdriver on the back of motor shaft to prevent shaft rotation
while tightening. Step B: Replace motor end cap.
9. Step A: Seat large O-ring in volute O-ring channel. Step B: Assemble volute to bracket with the 1/4-20 x 2 ¾” hex cap screws, washers and nuts using two (x2)
7/16” (12mm) ratchet wrenches. Step C: Tighten in a cross pattern (60 in-lbs).
10. Install drain plug with its O-ring in volute drain hole.
11. Before operating pump, allow a proper cure time for the sealant used in step 3.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Step A: Shut off power to motor before disconnecting any electrical wiring from the back of the motor. Step B: Remove drain plug to drain or empty out pump
2. Disassemble volute from bracket by removing the seven 1/4” - 20 x 2 3/4” hex cap screws with a 7/16” (12mm) wrench.
3. Remove cap covering shaft at back of motor and with a large screwdriver. Warning: Prevent shaft rotation while unscrewing impeller.
4. Remove ceramic piece from impeller with either a flat head screw driver or pliers. Warning: Eye protection is recommended when replacing the seal.
5. Detach bracket from motor using a 9/16” (15mm) wrench.
6. Remove mechanical seal from bracket by pressing out from the back. Warning: If you are replacing the seal, do not dig out from the front.
