WARNING: DO NOT pump ammable or explosive uids such
as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. DO NOT use in explosive
atmospheres. The pump should be used only with liquids
compatible with the pump component materials. Failure to
follow this warning can result in personal injury and/or property
damage and will void the product warranty.
1. When wiring the motor, follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
2. Always disconnect the power source before performing
any work on or near the motor or its connected load. If the
power disconnect point is out-of sight, lock it in the open
position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of
power. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock!
3. Be careful when touching the exterior of an operating motor
- it may be hot enough to be painful or cause injury. It is
normal for modern motors to be hot when they operate at
rated load and voltage because modern motors are built
to operate at higher temperatures.
4. Do not insert any object into the motor.
5. Protect the power cable from coming in contact with sharp
objects.
6. Do not kink the power cable and never allow the cable to
come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
7. Make certain that the power source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.
8. Do not handle the pump with wet hands or while standing
in water because electrical shock could occur. Disconnect
the main power before handling the unit for ANY REASON.
9. The unit should run clockwise as viewed facing shaft end.
Counterclockwise rotation can result in damage to the
pump motor, property damage and/or personal injury.
10. Release all pressure within the system before servicing
any component.
11. The maximum liquid temperature is 180o F for Series 9700
centrifugal pumps.
12. Drain all liquids from the system before servicing any
component. Flush with water.
13. Secure the discharge lines before starting the pump. An
unsecured line may whip, causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
14. Hypro pumps are not designed to be used as clean water
pumps as dened in 10CFR Parts 429 and 431.

mation. Read all instructions and general safety information
before attempting to install or operate the pump.
Drive Source Installation for the 9940-9750NRL Pedestal Mount Pump
Belt/Pulley Drive Installation
1
To gure proper diameter of pump pulley, multiply motor/engine
rpm by the diameter of the motor/engine pulley and divide that
gure by the desired pump speed.
Pump = Motor RPM x Motor Pulley Size
Pulley Size Desired Pump Speed
Refer to the pump performance charts to determine the desired
speed to obtain the desired maximum ow.
Push the belt
midway between
the pulleys, check
the deection (d)
and adjust:
d = 0.016 x L
2
Mounting Belts and Pulleys
Mount pulleys as close to the pump and motor engine shaft
bearings as possible. Check the alignment with a straight edge
as shown in Fig. 1. Make sure that the belt has proper tension.
(Too much tension will cause bearing wear; too little will cause
slippage.) See Fig. 2. Check with belt and pulley sources for
specic recommendation.
Direct Drive — Flexible Coupling
For direct driving of Hypro centrifugal pumps with exible
couplings, make sure that the speed (rpm) of the gas engine
or electric motor is within the maximum rated rpm of your
pump. Make sure that shaft rotation is correct between the
pump and the motor or gas engine (See Fig. 3).
4. Re-position the pump, sliding the coupling halves to-
gether. NOTE: No end thrust should be applied to the
pump when the coupling is connected.
5. Tighten the pump mounting and then the setscrews on
each coupling.
1. Mount the motor or engine into position on the base.
2. Line-up the pump shaft with the straight edge as shown
in Fig. 3 to assure they are aligned. Shim the pump if
necessary to match the shaft height of the engine or
motor. The shaft ends should not touch.
3. Mark the exact position of the pump on the base —
remove and install the coupling halves on both shafts.
Place the coupling center disc into one of the coupling
halves.

All electrical wiring should meet state and local ordinances.
Improper wiring may not only be a safety hazard but may
permanently damage the motor and/or pump!
1. Check that supply voltages match the motor's requirements.
2. Check the motor wiring and connect according to the mo-
tor instructions for matching supply voltage. Be sure of
proper rotation! Improper rotation will severely damage
the pump and void the warranty.
3. The power cord should be protected by conduit or by cable
and be of the proper gauge. It should be no longer than
necessary.
4. The power should be drawn directly from a box with circuit
breaker protection or with a fused disconnect switch.
5. Always switch off the power before repairing or servicing
the pump and/or motor.
6. Check for the proper rotation of three phase motors.

Installation
1. Position the pump as near as possible to the source being
pumped. A ooded suction situation is preferred. The pump
is not self-priming, therefore, if the uid level is below the
pump, a foot valve must be installed and the pump primed
prior to start-up. (See the gure above.)
2. Mount the motor base to a secure, immobile foundation.
3. Use only plastic ttings on both the intake and discharge
ports. Seal the pipe connections with teon tape. These
ttings should be self-supported and in neutral alignment
with each port. (i.e. Fittings must not be forced into align-
ment which may cause premature line failure or damage
to the pump volute.)
4. Never choke the intake. As much as possible, keep both
input and discharge lines free of elbows and valves . Al-
ways use the pipe of adequate diameter. This will reduce
friction losses and maximize output.
5. The pump is non-self-priming! The pump must not be
run dry! Hypro recommends a ooded suction. If this is
not possible, use a foot valve and prime the pump. (See
the gure above.)

Repair Instructions
Disassembly
1. Shut off the power to the motor before disconnecting
any electrical wiring from the back of the motor.
2. Disassemble the body-motor assembly from the volute.
(The volute may be left in-line if you wish.)
3. Remove the cap covering the shaft at the back motor
and, with a large screwdriver, prevent the shaft from
rotating while unscrewing the impeller.
4. Remove the ceramic piece from the impeller.
5. Detach the body from the motor.
6. Remove the carbon-graphite seal from the body by
pressing the seal out from the back. Do not dig the seal
out from the front.
Pump End Assembly
1. Clean and inspect all pump parts (o-ring or gasket, seal
seats, motor shaft, etc.)
2. Apply lubricant to the body bore hole and o-ring for seal
installation.
3. Press the carbon graphite seal into the body while taking
care not to damage the carbon graphite face.
4. Place the slinger (rubber washer) over the motor shaft
and mount the body to the motor.
5. Carefully grease the boot or o-ring around the ceramic
piece and press into the impeller. (On NRL model pumps,
if the ceramic has an o-ring, the marked side goes into
the impeller.)
6. Sparingly lubricate carbon-graphite and ceramic seal-
ing surfaces with a lightweight machine oil. Do not use
silicon lubricants or grease!
7. Thread the impeller onto the shaft and tighten! If required,
remove the motor end-cap and use a screwdriver on the
back of the motor shaft to prevent shaft rotation while
tightening. Replace the motor end cap.
8. Electrically, connect the motor so that the impeller will
rotate counterclockwise when facing the pump with the
motor end toward the rear. Incorrect rotation will damage
the pump and void the warranty!
9. Seat the o-ring (Models 9940-9750NRL, 9940-9751NRL
and 9940-9753NRL) in volute and assemble volute to
the body.
10. Install the drain plug in the volute drain hole.
1. Always drain and ush the pump before servicing or
disassembling for any reason (see instructions).
2. Always drain and ush the pump prior to returning the
unit for repair.
3. Never store pumps containing hazardous chemicals.
4. Before returning the pump for service/repair, drain out all
liquids and ush the unit with a neutralizing liquid. Then,
drain the pump. Attach a tag or include a written notice
certifying that this has been done. Please note that it
is illegal to ship or transport any hazardous chemicals
without United States Environmental Protection Agency
Licensing.
Hazardous Substance Alert
Water Flushed Seals:
9940-9750NRL, 9940-9751NRL and 9940-9753NRL
Water ushed seals are recommended for abrasive solu-
tions, high temperature service or against dead head
conditions. Where conditions cause the pumped liquid to
form crystals or if the pump remains idle for a period of
time without adequate ushing, a water ush seal system
is advised.
The water ush will provide decontamination of chemicals
on elastomers and seal and seat faces while providing
lubrication required for start up.
Two methods of water ush can be used:
1. Direct Plumbing to City Water
This provides the best possible approach to ushing the
seal and seat faces. Use caution to conform to local city
ordinances that may require back ow preventers. Back
ow preventers are a series of check valves required to
prevent contamination of city water if there is a shut off of
the water supply. Also, be aware of the addition of water
into the chemicals pumped where some imbalance may be
created altering the chemical's formulation and aggressive-
ness.
2. Recirculation of the Solution Pumped
This system takes a bleed off the pump discharge and
recirculates the solution in the seal chamber. Although not
nearly as effective as the direct water ush, this method
will provide cooling to the seal and seat faces under opera-
tion. This system is not effective where crystallization oc-
curs or for pumps in idle conditions. For internal recircula-
tion to seal, drill the recess plug on the pump body (which
is located at the 3 o'clock position) and leave the water
ush port plugged.
