Design the installation with consideration NOT to transmit loads or twisting moments (AKA angular
mass or rotational inertia) to (or through) the pump assembly from the apparatus (chassis, frame,
bodywork, or suction and discharge piping connections). In addition, DO NOT USE THE MOUNTING
HARDWARE to eliminate voids between the bracket(s) and the pump body or gearbox mounting fac-
es. If the bracket(s) do not align with the pump/gearbox machined surfaces, reposition the bracket(s)
(or use shims/spacers) to ensure the mounting does NOT twist the pump/gearbox.
Attach the OEM provided primary rigid support bracket to the pump body. For an AP, CBP, or RSD use
a minimum of three (3) pump body-mounting bosses (CBP and AP) or studs (RSD). For an MBP use a
minimum of four (4) pump body-mounting bosses. The pump body-mounting bosses require SAE
grade 8 (or better) fasteners to attachment to the bracket(s) (The fasteners are NOT supplied by
Hale.)
Attach an OEM provided secondary support bracket to the gearbox using a minimum of three (3)
gearbox metric mounting studs. (The drive side of the gearbox provides ten (10) M10–1.5 threaded
holes.) Hale supplies four (4) M10 studs, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts to secure the OEMs
mounting bracket(s) to the gearbox.
When mounting a Flex series pump, provide easy access to the lubrication maintenance points on
the gearbox (drain, fill, and sight glass). The gearbox drawing FSG–PL–01481, Sheet 5 shows the
gearbox lubrication points. The drawing can be found on the flash drive provided with the pump or on
the Hale website (www.haleproducts.com).
The drive shaft from the PTO to the pump should conform to the driveline manufacturers require-
ments and typically has an angle of 4 degrees or more with cardan type shafts. CV type shafts have
their own criteria and the supplier of the driveline should be consulted for proper installation. Hale
bulletin (SB90) also address best practices for driveline angles and installations. This bulletin can be
found on the flash drive provided with the pump or on the Hale website (www.haleproducts.com).
Follow PTO manufacturers guidelines for pump drive. Mass moments of inertia can be found on the
Hale drawings (typically on Sheet 1).
Support valves and pump plumbing to minimize the loads on the pump assembly.
5.4.1 Hardware Requirements
Do NOT install used (reuse) nylon type self-locking hardware.
5.4.1.1 Mounting Hardware
PUMP ASSEMBLY HAS BOTH METRIC AND SAE HARDWARE
SAE grade 5 or metric class 8.8 (or better) bolts are required for all mounting hardware. Grade 8 re-
quired fasteners are specified for specific locations, see paragraph 5.4, Mounting A Hale Booster
Pump. All fasteners should be installed with a locking anaerobic adhesive/sealant, see para-
graph 5.4.3.2, Thread Lock, Bonding. See Figure 7 to identify grade 5 (or class 8.8) bolts from their
markings.
