IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR PUMPING FLAMMABLE OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
Read these instructions before operating the pump and motor equipment. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage to property or to persons
caused by improper use of the equipment.
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the user to operate the pump in conformance with OSHA rules for dispensing liquids. Pump containers should be
grounded when using with flammable or combustible liquids to avoid static electricity.
1. Use only an explosion-proof rated electric or non-electric (air) motors on stainless steel pump tubes with a Static Protection Kit when transferring flammable
or combustible liquids.
WARNING: Never use an open, splash-proof, TEFC, battery-operated or non-explosion-proof rated motor or a plastic pump tube when transferring flammable
or combustible liquids.
2. When operating a drum pump (especially when pumping flammable, combustible or hazardous liquids) follow all electrical and safety codes.
a) In the United States: the United States Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), most recent National Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire
Protection, Inc. (NFPA) Code 30 (Flammable and Combustible Code), NFPA 77 (Static Electricity), NFPA 251 (Standard Method of fire Test of Building
Construction), NFPA 704 (Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials), and other NFPA codes, local codes and ordinances.
b) Outside the United States: the ATEX equipment directive 2014/34/EU where applicable, the ATEX workplace 99/92/EC directive where applicable, in
addition the precautions of the U.S. codes listed herein and all other local codes and ordinances.
3. Pumping hazardous, flammable, or combustible liquids should only be done in buildings, rooms, or areas suited for this purpose. (See NFPA 30, NFPA 78,
NFPA 80, NFPA 251, NFPA 704, other suitable NFPA codes, OSHA, ATEX workplace 99/92/EC directive insurance companies, and other local codes and ordi-
nances.)
4. When filling cans, drums, etc. with combustible or flammable liquids, both container pumping from and container pumping to, should be bonded and
grounded to dissipate possible accumulations of static electricity, and minimize sparks caused by static electricity (refer to NFPA 77 and CLC/TR 60079-32-1
for specific details).
WARNING: Avoid splashing. Splash filling can create static electricity and is extremely hazardous. Reduce motor speed to prevent splashing.
WARNING: Fluid velocity must be 3 feet/.9 meter/second maximum (7 gpm/26.5 lpm in 1” hose and 4 gpm/15 lpm in ¾” hose) to reduce risk of static electric-
ity. Reduce motor speed to reduce the fluid velocity.
5. Before using, confirm that the pump and any accessories (hose, nozzle, flow meter, etc.) materials of construction are suitable for the material to be pumped
and that the maximum temperature is not exceeded.
INFORMATIONS IMPORTANTES SUR LA SÉCURITÉ DURANT LE POMPAGE DE SUBSTANCES INFLAMMABLES OU DANGEREUSES
Veuillez lire attentivement ces instructions avant d’utiliser la pompe et l’équipement du moteur. Le fabricant ne sera pas tenu responsable des dommages matéri-
els ou corporels causés par une utilisation inappropriée de l’équipement.
AVERTISSEMENT: Il est de la responsabilité de l’utilisateur de faire fonctionner la pompe conformément aux règles OSHA (Santé et Sécurité au Travail)
relatives à la distribution de liquides. Les conteneurs de pompes doivent être électriquement mis à la terre lors de l’utilisation de liquides inflammables ou
combustibles afin d’éviter toute électricité statique.
1. Lors du transfert de liquides inflammables ou combustibles, utilisez uniquement des moteurs électriques ou non électriques (pneumatiques) antidéflagrants
sur des tubes de pompe en acier inoxydable dotés d’un dispositif de protection antistatique.
AVERTISSEMENT: N’utilisez jamais de moteur ouvert, à l’épreuve des éclaboussures, TEFC, alimenté par piles ou non antidéflagrant, ni un tube de pompe en
plastique lors du transfert de liquides inflammables ou combustibles.
2. Lors de l’utilisation d’une pompe à tambour (en particulier lors du pompage de liquides inflammables, combustibles ou dangereux), respectez tous les codes
électriques et les codes de sécurité.
a) Aux États-Unis : Loi américaine sur la sécurité et la santé au travail (OSHA); le code national de l’électricité (NEC) le plus récent; le code 30 de la
NFPA (code d’inflammabilité et de produits combustibles); le code NFPA 77 (électricité statique); le code NFPA 251 (Méthode standard de test
d’incendie de la construction de bâtiments); le code NFPA 704 (Identification des risques d’incendie des matériaux) et autres codes et règlements de
la NFPA.
b) En dehors des États-Unis : La directive sur les équipements ATEX 2014/34 / EU, le cas échéant, la directive ATEX sur le lieu de travail 99/92 /EC, le
cas échéant, ainsi que les précautions des codes des États-Unis énumérés dans la présente et de tous les autres codes, lois et règlements locaux.
3. Le pompage de liquides dangereux, inflammables ou combustibles ne doit être eectué que dans des bâtiments, des pièces ou des zones adaptées à cet
usage. (Voir NFPA 30, NFPA 78, NFPA 80, NFPA 251, NFPA 704, autres codes NFPA appropriés, OSHA, les directives des compagnies d’assurance ATEX 99/92
/CE, et autres codes, lois et règlements locaux.)
4. Lors du remplissage de bidons, fûts, etc. avec des liquides combustibles ou inflammables, les conteneurs d’où le liquide est pompé et le conteneur
recevant le liquide doivent être reliés et mis à la terre pour éviter toute accumulation éventuelle d’électricité statique et minimiser ainsi les étincelles
causées par l’électricité statique (voir NFPA 77). et CLC / TR 60079-32-1 pour des détails spécifiques).
AVERTISSEMENT: Évitez les éclaboussures. Les éclaboussures peuvent créer de l’électricité statique et sont extrêmement dangereuses. Réduisez la vitesse
du moteur pour éviter les éclaboussures.
AVERTISSEMENT: La vitesse du fluide doit être au maximum de 3 pieds / 0,9 mètre / seconde (7 gpm / 26,5 lpm dans un tuyau de 1”; et 4 gpm / 15 lpm
dans un tuyau de ¾”) afin de réduire le risque d’électricité statique. Réduisez la vitesse du moteur afin de réduire ainsi la vitesse du fluide.
5. Avant utilisation, assurez-vous que les matériaux de la pompe et des accessoires (tuyau, ajutage, débitmètre, etc.) sont compatibles avec le
fluide et que la température maximale n’est pas dépassée.

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.
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.
5. Install the motor according to instructions in the appropriate motor manual.
6. Attach discharge hose and install pump into the container. Torque Finish Thompson hose clamps to 25 in-lbs
(2.8 N·m)
Operation
1. Make sure the motor (electric or air) is properly installed on the pump tube and is in the o position. See
motor instruction manual for installation instructions.
2. Insert the pump tube into the uid to be dispensed and the hose into the container to be lled prior to
starting the pump. Bung adapters are available to provide a tighter t between the pump tube and bung
opening of a standard drum. Check drum pump accessories at www.nishthompson.com or contact your
local Finish Thompson distributor for bung adapter info.
3. Make sure the pump’s discharge hose is properly secured before operating the motor.
4. Begin pumping by turning the motor on and verifying that there are no leaks. If leaks are noticed immedi-
ately turn the motor o and check all discharge hose connections.
NEVER allow the pump to run dry.
Maintenance
Disassembly
1. Loosen the setscrew and remove the half coupling (item 2) from the end of the pump shaft.
2. Gently holding the intake tube so as not to crush the tube, use a 3/8” punch and hammer to drive the bottom
of the shaft (item 11) toward the top. This will drive the bearing assembly (item 3) out of the top of the
pump. Stop when the bearing assembly is exposed.
3. Use a 1/8” punch and drive out the roll pin that is located in the center of the bearing assembly (item 3), and
slide the bearing assembly o of the shaft.
4. Remove the pump shaft assembly by pushing it down through the intake tube (item 7) and out the bottom.
5. Remove the seal assembly (item 4) and discard. Never re-use a seal assembly.
Inspection
1. Visually inspect the impeller assembly (item 8), the center bearings (item 10), and the compressor (item 12)
for damage and replace as needed.

9
2. Inspect the bearing assembly for rust, corrosion, or tightness and replace as needed.
3. Inspect the pump shaft in the seal area and the center bearing areas for excessive wear. Replace the shaft if
needed.
Reassembly
1. Insert the shaft assembly up through the bottom of the tube until it sticks out the top of the pump head.
2. Warm up the seal assembly (item 4) prior to installation by using a heat lamp or socking them in hot water.
This will aid in the ease of proper seal installation. Make sure there are no metal burrs on the pump shaft in
the bearing hole location or the coupling half setscrew location that could “cut” the seal during installation.
3. Lubricate the end of the shaft with Vaseline to aid in the seal installation. Carefully install the seal down
over the shaft with the two “slots” facing up toward the bearing assembly. The raised lip in the center of the
seal (that faces the bottom of the pump) must go on straight and not buckle on one side.
4. After the seal is on the shaft correctly, install the bearing assembly (item 3) onto the shaft. Use the bearing
assembly to push the seal further down the shaft until the hole in the center of the bearing assembly matches
up to the hole in the shaft. Install the roll pin through the bearing assembly and shaft.
5. Line up the bearing assembly with the top of the pump head and press the bearing in. Use a block of wood
and a mallet if needed.
6. Install the coupling half and tighten the setscrew into the dimple in the shaft. Spin the coupling to insure
there is no binding.
