bearing and seal failure
WARNING
on any pump, and on end suction and
self priming pump the heat build may
cause the generation of steam with
resulting dangerous pressures. It is
recommended that a high case
temperature switch or pressure relief
valve be installed on the pump body.

handles are securely fastened each
time before lifting. Do not operate
pump without safety devices in place.
Always replace safety devices that
have been removed during service or
repair. Secure the p ump in it s
operating position so it can not tip

Recommendations, Warnings & Installation
Receiving inspection
Upon receiving the pump, it should
be inspected for damage or
shortages. If damage has occurred,
file a claim immediately with the
company that delivered the pump. If
the manual is removed from the
packaging, do not lose or misplace.
Storage
Any product that is stored for a
period longer than six (6) months
from the date of purchase should be
bench tested prior to installation. A
bench test consists of, checking the
impeller to assure it is free turning
and a run test to assure the motor
(and switch if provided) operate
properly. Do not pump out of liquid.
Controls
Be sure the electrical specification of
the control selected properly match
the electrical specifications of the
pump.
Installation
Location - The pump should be
located as near as possible to the
liquid to be pumped and in no case
should the pump be more than 25
feet above the surface of the liquid
supply. The pump should always be
as level as possible.
Allow a minimum of 18 inches in
front of the pump case cover or
hatch cover to permit easy removal
and access to the interior of the
pump. On belt driven units, allow a
minimum of 10 inches at the shaft
end to permit easy removal of the
pedestal or rotating cartridge.
Locate the pump on a firm footing to
make sure the pump will not move
due to vibration. Flex coupled and V-
belt driven units should be
permanently grouted onto a cement
foundation. The pumps should be
level to provide favorable operating
conditions. In addition, the flexible
coupling should be realigned after
grouting in order to eliminate
excessive wear on the coupling.
The use of pipe the same size as the
port size is highly recommended.
Using a smaller pipe line can cause
internal damage. Make sure all lines
have air-tight joints. The smallest air
leak in the suction line may prevent
the pump from priming. All
horizontal suction lines should slope
up to the pump to avoid trapped air
pockets. All piping should be
properly supported.
The plunger and handle should be
no less than 1/4" above the cap
which indicates the seal chamber is
full or pressurized. If less than 1/4"
above cap, the seal chamber needs
additional lubricant.
Priming
Remove pipe plug in top of body and
fill the pump body completely with
solids free liquid. In freezing weather
prime pump with warm water.

Motor connection
All wiring of motor and control,
overload protection and grounding
should be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, State and
Local codes. Make motor connection
per label located on motor or motor
manufactures manual.
All units rotate clockwise as viewed
from shaft end of pump. It is
necessary to slide one half of the flex
coupling back when checking
rotation to eliminate the possibility
of unscrewing the impellers which
are threaded on the shaft.

SUCTION LINE TO PREVENT STICKS,

MATTER FROM BEING DRAWN INTO THE

CLEANED REGULARLY TO INSURE FULL
FLOW.
CAUTION
Suction
Connect discharge hose or pipe to
the discharge port. Make sure all
lines have air-tight joints
Discharge
Lubrication
The seal is the only component that
requires lubrication. It is grease filled
at the factory but must be checked
before putting unit into operation. A
spring loaded grease cup attached to
the seal chamber maintains the
grease fill.
Filling through the grease cup by
turning the handle clockwise in order
to compress the plunger spring into
the cap. Removing cap, fill with grease,
replace cap and release spring by
turning handle counterclockwise until
it is in contact with plunger flange.
Approved grease: SHELL ALVANIA R2,
MOBILE MOBILUX 2, AMPOL RR2, B.P.
ENERGERASE LS2, CALTEX MULTIFAX 2
or equal.
PLUNGER AND HANDLE
MUST BE TOGETHER AND NO LESS
THAN 1/4" ABOVE CAP DURING PUMP
OPERATION.
CAUTION

Operation, Service & Repair
To replace, the HINGE section of
gasket is at the TOP and the LARGE
weight is on the pump side of gasket.
Replace seal plate onto pedestal.
Lightly oil shaft and inner surface of
stationary. Press over shaft and into
seal plate.
H A N D L E A L L S E A L
PARTS WITH EXTREME CARE. DO NOT
DAMAGE LAPPED FACES.
CAUTION
Oil inner surface of rotating member
and with lapped surface facing
pedestal, slide rotating member onto
shaft until lapped faces of stationary
and rotating member are together.
REASSEMBLE REMAINDER OF PUMP
IN OPPOSITE ORDER.
Remove rotating member, spring and
retaining ring of seal from shaft. To
remove stationary, remove cap
screws and lockwashers and pull seal
plate from pedestal. Press stationary
out of seal plate. If any part shows
wear or damage replace complete
seal. Replace shaft sleeve if worn or
damaged.

DO NOT OPERATE PUMP
WITHOUT PRIMING FIRST. OPERATING
DRY WILL DAMAGE SEAL.
CAUTION
To start pump, apply power to motor
per the MOTOR OR ENGINE
INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL.
Starting
Discontinue operation by stopping
the engine as stated in ENGINE
MANUAL or by disconnecting electric
power to motor. It is recommended
to drain and flush pump if pump has
been operating in freezing weather.
Shutdown
Turn off and lock out power before
servicing pump.
Service
Disconnect suction piping and
remove hex nuts and suction flange.
Remove gasket, weights, screw and
lockwasher and replace if worn or
damaged.
Check valve
Disconnect suction and discharge
piping. Remove hex nuts and
lockwashers then remove body, o-
ring and seal plate from pedestal.
Body, Volute & Impeller
Pull volute and gasket from seal
plate. Remove cap screw and
washers. Unscrew the impeller from
shaft in the right hand direction. Take
note of the size and quantity of shims
used. To replace lip seal, press out of
seal plate.
To reassemble, use the required
number of shims to result in an
impeller-to-volute clearance of .010"
to .020".
Replace the rest of the seal. Replace
shims and impeller, making sure that
spring is properly seated against
impeller.
Remove capscrews, lockwashers and
bearing cap from pedestal. Remove
shaft, slinger and bearing assembly.
To replace bearing remove retaining
ring and slinger. Press off bearings
from shaft.
