ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Shipping Position
Due to freight shipping requirements your Hardee pump
will arrive to you in our “shipping position”. This will
require a few minutes of basic assembly before the pump
can be used for the first time.
The parts listed in the Section Assembly drawing on page
11 will be needed to complete the assembly process. I
you did not receive these parts, please contact your local
Hardee dealer for assistance.
·Carefully remove clamps that hold the front section o
pump to the rear section. Lift the front frame off of the
rear frame and position it as shown on page 11.
·Connect the bottom of pump sections with bolt (4)
10096 and lock nut (7) 10166. Use the first hole in
the rear section and the second hole in the front
section. Connect the front section (with pull tongue)
to the rear section using top connector plate (43)
70145 with bolt (3) 10094 and lock nut (7) 10166.
Note: Item (43) 70145 has a notch in one end. The
notched end is toward the impeller of the unit. For the
recommended configuration of the pump, use the
outer set of holes in the top connector plate (43)
70145.
·Connect rear discharge pipe (44) 70146 to front
discharge pipe section (42) 70144 using hose clamp
(25) 11816 and connector hose (55) 70172 provided.
Repeat on other side. See page 11 for reference.
Installation of Middle Driveshaft
The middle driveshaft has been pre-cut at our factory to
be the correct length when used in the standard
recommended configuration of your Hardee pump. If you
choose to operate your pump with additional pump
sections or in the flat configuration, the middle driveshaft
will require cutting to proper length. We recommend
contacting your local Hardee dealer for assistance.
After the middle driveshaft has been cut to the proper
length needed, you are ready to install the middle
driveshaft. See page 11 for reference.
·Remove the retaining ring (23) 11469 from the middle
pump shaft (40) 70142.
·Carefully push middle driveshaft (54) 70171 onto
middle pump shaft (40) 70142 until it protrudes past
retaining ring groove.
·Install retaining ring (23) 11469 onto middle pump
shaft (40) 70142.
·Pull middle driveshaft (54) 70171 forward to align
holes in yoke with those in the middle pump shaft
(40) 70142.
·Install 1/2 x 3 3/4-inch grade 5 connecting bolt (2)
10076 and lock nut (9) 10176.
Note: Grade 5 bolts can be identified by three
slashes on the bolt head. See Appendix 1 on page 17
for reference.
·Repeat with other end of the middle driveshaft,
making sure to use grade 5 connecting bolt (2) 10076
and nut (9) 10176.
The pump is now assembled and is ready to connect with
your tractor.
Driveshaft Installation on Front Pump Shaft
The make of your tractor will determine the length of
driveshaft you require to connect from the end of the front
pump shaft to the PTO connection of your tractor. This
step may require cutting the standard driveshaft included
with the Hardee pump. We recommend contacting your
local Hardee dealer for assistance. See page 13 for
reference.
·Cut driveshaft (22) 11174 to correct length, if needed.
·Remove the retaining ring (23) 11469 from the front
pump shaft (41) 70143.
·Carefully push driveshaft (22) 11174 onto front pump
shaft (41) 70143 until it protrudes past retaining ring
groove.
·Install retaining ring (23) 11469 onto front pump shaft
(41) 70143.
! WARNING !
Never operate pump without retaining ring in place. If
the shear bolt shears, the retaining ring is the only
thing that holds the driveshaft onto the front pump
shaft. A missing retaining ring could lead to the
driveshaft disconnecting from the front pump shaft,
which may result in severe personal injury or death.
·Pull driveshaft (22) 11174 forward to align holes in
yoke with those in the front pump shaft (41) 70143.
·Install 1/2 x 3 3/4-inch grade 2 shear bolt (15) 10269
and lock nut (9) 10176.
Note: A blank bolt head can identify grade 2 bolts.
See Appendix 1 on page 17 for reference.
! IMPORTANT !
A grade 2 bolt must be used for the shear bolt to
provide protection for the impeller and driveshaft.
