Safety
General Precautions
The following are general safety precautions not related to any specific procedure. Per-
sonnel must understand and apply these precautions during both operation and main-
tenance of the pump.
Do Not Operate Pump Without Ear Protection. The pump has heat-treated steel
timing gears, which can be very noisy when operated above 900 rpm.
Be Aware of High Heat When Unit Is Running. Both operating and maintenance
personnel must observe all safety precautions at all times. To avoid injury, always de-
energize the input power sources and lock-out or red-tag the controller. Let the pump
cool before handling.
Be Aware of Chemical Hazards. Maintenance personnel must observe all safety pre-
cautions while working with the chemicals used in cleaning agents.
Warnings and Cautions
The following warnings and cautions relate to specific procedures in this manual. They
are repeated here for emphasis.
Warnings
Do not perform maintenance using this manual if the model number on the
pump is not 400-112 or the serial number is not ________________. Performing
maintenance using the wrong manual could result in pump failure or personal
injury.
To avoid injury, always de-energize the input driver and lock-out or red-tag the
controller. Let the pump cool before removing.
Overpressurization of the pump can cause equipment failure, resulting in per-
sonal injury.

Model 400 Pump
Cautions
Do not order parts using this manual if the model number on the pump is not
400-112 or the serial number is not ________________. Using parts ordered
from the wrong manual could result in pump failure or personal injury.
Do not hammer on pump endcase. This will cause gasket sealing surface dam-
age, resulting in leaks.
Use shaft protector between puller tip and shaft face to prevent distortion of
shaft center.
Never hammer directly on pump drive shaft. This will cause the rotor assem-
bly to become misaligned, resulting in incorrect internal clearances. Also,
hammering on the shaft ends may damage the shaft centers.
Never dip or soak packings, rubber, plastic, or teflon parts in “dry” cleaning
solvent. Wipe with clean, lint-free cloth. Solvent can react with material and
result in severe damage or destruction of parts.
Do not use excessive force when installing seals. This could damage the seals,
causing them to leak. Use approved tools available from Edwards.
Do not rotate rotor assemblies until bearings have been installed and adjusted.
Damage to rotors and liners may occur.
Make sure liners fit into counterbore on endcase, and that they can be fully
seated into the endcase counterbore without using excessive force. Damage to
endcases and liners could occur.
Support ends of shafts axially with a jaw puller on the endcase when install-
ing ball bearings to avoid damaging liners and rotors. The jaw puller should
be used on the shaft end opposite the end where the bearing is being installed.
Use a shaft protector to avoid damaging shaft center.
Do not overtighten bearing adjusting nut setscrews. Excessive bearing preload
may result, causing bearing damage.
Rotary pumps have close running clearances. Thus, clean piping is a must.
Dirt, grit, weld bead or scale, flushed from an unclean piping system, will
damage and may stall the pump. Flush the system thoroughly before connect-
ing piping to pump.

General 1
Introduction
The Edwards Model 400 pump (Figure 1-1) is a standard-duty high-speed gear-driven
positive-displacement rotary pump with gear-type rotors. The pump is self-priming.
Edwards rotary pumps are available in many configurations. While they may look alike,
there may be significant differences from one pump to another. Differences include
construction material, sealing method, rotor type, etc.

Edwards rotary pumps are available in many configurations. While they may look alike,
there may be significant differences from one pump to another. Differences include con-
struction material, sealing method, rotor type, etc. This manual covers only one config-
uration, which is defined by a model number and a serial number. Check the name plate
on the pump to make certain the model number is 400-112 and the serial number is
________________. If the numbers do not match, contact Edwards - Pentair Water.
Most pump repairs can be performed by maintenance personnel using normally avail-
able tools.
Consumable Materials
Cleaning materials, lubricants, and other products needed during pump maintenance
are listed in Table 2-1.
Do not perform maintenance using this manual if the model number on the
pump is not 400-112 or the serial number is not ________________. Performing
maintenance using the wrong manual could result in pump failure or personal
injury.

Lubrication
To ensure a long service life, the pump should be lubricated routinely with approved
grease (7, Table 2-1). If the pump is operating under normal loads and temperatures,
use the intervals defined in Table 2-2. If the pump is operating at over 180°F, contact
E dwards for recommended lubrication interval for your application.
Troubleshooting
Table 2-3 provides assistance in diagnosing and correcting malfunctions that may occur
during normal operation.

Zerk fittings do not
have check balls.
This prevents bear-
ings from being
over-greased.
Excess grease will

ting when pump is
in operation.
The pump has

timing gears,
which can be very
noisy when oper-
ated above 900
rpm. This is a nor-
mal condition, and
does not require
