1. Introduction
This manual contains all the information needed for the correct installation, use and maintenance of your new
Finish Thompson
pump. It should be read and understood by all the personnel involved in installation, operating and servicing of
the pump before it is started.
2. Operator Qualication and Training
The personnel in charge of the installation, the operation, and the maintenance of the pump must be qualied
and able to perform the operations described in this manual. Finish Thompson, Inc. shall not be held responsible
for the training level of personnel and for the fact that they are not fully aware of the contents of this manual.
3. Safety Instructions
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
BEFORE using or servicing your pump, please make sure to wear the proper clothing, eye protection and follow
standard safety procedures when handling corrosive or personally harmful materials.
GENERAL DANGER
ALWAYS use a stainless steel pump tube with an explosion proof electric motor or air motor and static protection
kit with grounded discharge hose when pumping or mixing ammable or combustible material.
NEVER use in pressurized containers.
ALWAYS store unit upright, i.e. motor above pump, and away from corrosive liquids and vapors.
DANGER: POWER SUPPLY
Refer to instructions for the appropriate motor in the Operation & Installation Manual - Drum Pump Motors.
4. Noise Level

Installation & Maintenance Instructions
Installation
1. Remove the drum pump and motor from its packaging and inspect for shipping damage.
2. Turn the pump coupling to verify there is no binding. Verify the housing cover (item 21) is on tight (it has
a left hand thread.
3. Adjust the coupling so that the empty slots in the insert are at 3 and 9 o’clock with the pump discharge at 12
o’clock.
4. Install the motor according to instructions in the appropriate motor manual.
5. Attach 1” i.d. discharge hose and secure with hose clamp.
6. Install into the container.
Maintenance
Disassembly
1. Remove the housing cover (item 21) by turning it clockwise (left hand thread) while gripping the impeller
housing (item 18).
2. Turn the impeller until a hole in the shaft can be seen through the square slot in the impeller housing (item
18), and insert 3/32 pin into the hole. Holding the pin, turn the impeller (item 15) counterclockwise (right-
hand thread) and remove it.
3. Remove the impeller housing (item 18) by gripping the intake tube and turning the housing clockwise
(left hand thread).
4. Placeawoodenboardorrubbermatontheoor(toprotectthethreadsonthebottomoftheshaft)and
gently tap the shaft (item 19) on it until the inner tubes (items 11, 15, 25, & 26), center bearing (item 13),
and bottom bearing (item 16) drops out. Continue to tap the shaft until both bearings (item 3) are exposed at
the top of the pump.
5. Pull the bearings and shaft out through the top of the pump.
Inspection
1. Check the housing cover (item 21), the impeller (item 20), and the impeller housing (item 18) for wear, rub-
bing, or damage from foreign objects. Replace if damaged.
Note: The double impeller design of this pump is dependant on the impeller working correctly. Any damage
to the impeller can cause pump failure.
2. Inspect the pump shaft (item 19) for wear in the bearing (item 3) and the lip seal (item 4) areas. Replace the
shaft if needed.
3. Inspect the bottom bearing (item 16) for internal wear. Inspect all o-rings (items 10, 12 & 17) for nicks or
chemical attack. Replace as needed.
4. Inspect the bearing assembly (item 3) for rust or corrosion.
5. If the bearing assembly needs to be replaced, unthread it from the shaft. Insert 3/32” pin into the hole at
the bottom and hold the bearing assembly by the half coupling. Turn the shaft counterclockwise (right
handthread)toloosenandremove.Ifcorroded,thenapenetratinguidmaybeusedonthethreadstohelp
loosen.
Note: Never reuse the lip seal.

Reassembly
1. Install new lip seal (item 4) into the pump head with the grooved side facing the bottom of the pump.
2. If bearing assembly is replaced -- thread the shaft (item 19) into the bearing assembly (item 3) with the 3/32
hole in the shaft on the other end. Carefully insert the shaft straight through the lip seal (to avoid seal dam-
age) from the top and seat the bearing assembly (item 3) into the pump head.
3. If o-rings are replaced -- install 2 inner tube o-rings (item 12) in the grooves. Install the impeller housing
o-ring (item 17) inside the top of the housing. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to the o-rings to aid in as-
sembly.
4. With the pump on a bench, slide the inner tubes (items 11, 15, 25, & 26) assembly onto the shaft until it
engages inside the intake tube assembly (item 8). Push until both o-rings (item 10) are seated.
5. Slide the impeller housing (item 18) over the shaft, center the bottom of the lower inner tube into the coun-
ter bore in the top of the impeller housing (item 2), and push / thread into the intake tube (item 8) bottom
(left hand thread).
6. Gripping the coupling at the top of the pump, thread the impeller (item 20) on right hand thread. Install the
housing cover (item 21) left hand thread. Turn the coupling to verify there is no binding inside the pump.
