the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and all applicable
state, province, local codes and ordinances. Improper
grounding voids warranty.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electrical shock, always
disconnect the pump from the power source before
handling or servicing. Lock out power and tag.
WARNING! Operation against a closed
discharge valve will cause premature bearing
and seal failure 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.
CAUTION ! Pumps build up heat and pressure
during operation-allow time for pumps to cool
before handling or servicing.
WARNING ! Do not pump hazardous materials
(flammable, caustic, etc.) unless the pump is specifically
designed and designated to handle them.

A - GENERAL INFORMATION
TO THE PURCHASER:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest
pumps on the market today. These pumps are products
engineered and manufactured of high quality components.
With years of pump building experience along with a
continuing quality assurance program combine to produce
a pump which will stand up to the toughest applications.
Check local codes and requirements before installation.
Servicing should be performed by knowledgeable pump
service contractors or authorized service stations.
RECEIVING:
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 crating, do not lose or
misplace.
STORAGE:
Short Term - Pumps are manufactured for efficient
performance following long inoperative periods in storage.
For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as
factory assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant
temperatures for up to six (6) months.
Long Term - Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty four (24) months. The units
should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed
over walled enclosure that provides protection from the
elements (rain, snow, wind blown dust, etc..), and whose
temperature can be maintained between +40 deg. F and
+120 deg. F. Pump should be stored in its original shipping
container and before initial start up, rotate impeller by hand
to assure seal and impeller rotate freely.
SERVICE CENTERS:
For the location of the nearest Weinman Service Center,
check your Weinman representative or Crane Pumps &
Systems, Inc., Service Department in Piqua, Ohio, telephone
[phone] or Crane Pumps & Systems Canada, Inc.,
Bramton, Ontario, [phone].
B - INSTALLATION
These pumps are designed for pumping raw or treated
sewage, light sludge, Industrial wastes, drainage and
similar liquids containing solids.
MOUNTING:
The pump has been assemble, adjusted and lubricated
at the factory before shipment. Refer to “Lubrication” for
proper lubrication of the shaft seal and motor bearings.
Pumps may be installed on any sufficiently solid support
since pump and motor are rigidly aligned. The Fig. 7171-
7172 series pumps may be mounted in a vertical position,
with the motor above the pump liquid end, if vertical
mounting is preferred.
PIPING:
Suction and discharge piping should be direct with as
few fittings as possible. Pipe and fittings must be properly
supported near the pump so their weight does not
cause strain on the pump flanges. DO NOT pull pipes
into position with flange bolts as this may cause pump
misalignment. Flexible connectors should have limiting
bolts to contain hydraulic forces.
PUMP ROTATION:
Pumps may be furnished for right hand (clockwise) or left
hand (counter-clockwise) rotation when viewed from above
the motor. See rotation arrow and pump name-plates.
Connect power leads to motor according to motor wiring
diagram and jog starter testing for rotation. If rotation is
incorrect, rotation may be reversed by interchanging any
two main power leads at starter (3 phase only).
PRIMING:
It is important that all trapped air be removed from the
suction pipe and pump casing before operating the pump.
A. On Fig. ULL remove the pipe plug (216) at the top
of the casing (1)
B. On Fig. ULL-VM remove pipe plug (208) from
adapter (71). Replace pipe plug after the liquid rises
and displaces all air.
LUBRICATION:
These pumps are normally fitted with a double mechanical
shaft seal. The seal chamber of the adapter (71) must be
pressurized with a clean, compatible liquid to cool and
lubricate the seal faces.
For optimum service, the liquid should be circulated thru
the seal chamber at a pressure equal to or 15 to 20 PSI
higher than the maximum pressure at the pump discharge.
Lubrication may be provided by one of the following
methods.
A. With liquid from the pump discharge to the seal
chamber thru a filter assembly having a 25 micron
filter.
B. With clean compatible liquid, under pressure, from
an outside source.
C. With water seal unit to provide clean water, under
pressure, from a potable source of supply.
Motor bearings should have periodic lubrication and
inspection according to the motor manufacturer’s
recommendations.

IMPELLER ADJUSTMENT:
Eventual impeller wear or impeller replacement may
require adjustment of the clearance between impeller
inlet and face of the suction cover (9). Recommended
clearance at this point is .020” and is maintained by
varying the thickness of the casing gasket set (283). A
spare set of gaskets (283) having thickness from .005” to
1/16”, should be available at all times. To adjust clearance,
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect power to motor and remove power
leads to motor.
2. Unscrew casing capscrews (212) and remove
motor and rotating assembly from casing (1).
3. Hold a straight edge across the impeller (2) inlet
and measure the distance from the straight edge to
the machined face of the flange of the adapter (71).
4. Next place the straight edge across the top of the
casing (1) and measure the distance from the
straight edge to the face of the suction cover (9) at
the inlet.
5. The difference between the two dimensions
indicates the required gasket thickness minus
.020”. Make up gasket set (283) equal to twice this
thickness as gaskets will compress about half their
original thickness when installed.
NOTE: If pump has been disconnected from the suction
and discharge piping, a feeler gauge may be inserted
thru the suction inlet to measure the impeller to suction
clearance.
6. Place gasket set (283) on casing (1) or adapter
(71) and mount rotating assembly onto casing.
Replace and tighten cap screws (212).
GENERAL MAINTENANCE:
Unless the casing (1) or suction cover (9) is damaged, it is
not necessary to disconnect suction or discharge piping,
however, if suction cover wearing ring (when furnished) is
to be replaced, it is advisable to remove the suction cover
from the pump.
To completely dismantle the pump, follow to order listed
below or select sections applicable to make required
repairs. All gaskets and o-rings should be replaced with
new parts at reassembly.
DISASSEMBLY:
