RICE HYDRO EL Series User manual

The El-series is a line of low volume high pressure hydrostatic test pumps,
offering flow rates up to 5 GPM, and pressures to 1800 PSI. Designed for
testing sprinkler systems, irrigation lines, pressure vessels, plant process
piping, and small diameter water lines. The triplex ceramic plunger pump has an
inner oil bath, ensuring long life
with minimal maintenance.
Standard motor features include;
overload protection, totally
enclosed fan cooled, 110 to 220
volt, and the 1 HP motors are
capable of reading 50/60 Hertz.
There are no external moving
parts for increased operator safety
and reduced liability risk. All RICE
units can be “Built to Suit”, contact
the factory for special order
options available or details on
your required specifications.

FOR WARRANTY REGISTRATION CALL: 1-800-245-4777
WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining this equipment can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide and
lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid
breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, operate and service your equipment in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when servicing your equipment. For more information go to: www.p65warnings.ca.gov
CAUTIONS:
1.
Power source must meet voltage, phase, hertz and amperage requirements of
electric motor, as stated on label. If an extension cord is used, requires at
least 12 gauge 3 wire with maximum of 25 foot length.
2.
Check ALL fluid levels prior to operating the unit.
3. Use a sound 3/4" or larger supply hose.
4. Protect the pump from freezing, FLUSH with anti-freeze.
5. DO NOT run dry or pump chlorine thru the unit.
CONNECTING THE PUMP:
1.
With motor switch in the off position, connect power cord of motor to a standard
wall outlet. Extension cord: when needed, requires a 12 gauge 3 wire, maximum
25 foot length plugged into a 20 or larger amp breaker, depending on individual
motor requirements.
2.
Connect CLEAN pressurized water source to the inlet of the pump. It is
recommended that the unit be pressure fed. For gravity feed locate water within
8 feet and elevated above level of unit, and then prime the pump.
3.
Connect high-pressure outlet hose to the pump and your test environment.
OPERATING THE PUMP:
1.
Turn the outlet ballvalve to the open position, start the motor.
2.
The pressure regulator has been preset at the factory. To change this setting
you must make this adjustment while the water is flowing freely, and the unit is
under NO pressure. To adjust the pressure, first loosen the locknut. Turn the T-
handle/Knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the
pressure. Place a ballvalve or similar open and close valve at the end of the
outlet hose, open and close this valve multiple times as needed, to check
pressure setting and re-adjust as necessary. It is also recommended that you
open and close the hosebib located under the gauge to bleed excess air from
piping and ensure accurate pressure gauge readings. Upon reaching desired
pressure setting, tighten locknut and prepare to begin test.
3.
With the ballvalve open begin building pressure in the test environment. Be
sure to bleed the air from hosebib under gauge at least once during this
process. Once test pressure has been reached, close the ballvalve and shut-off
motor. An inlet checkvalve prevents water pressure from bleeding back into the
pump.
4.
Once the outlet ballvalve is closed and your test begins, you have now isolated
the test pump from the test environment, any loss of pressure is due to leaks or
trapped air being compressed in the test environment.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
1.
Pumps use non-detergent 30wt oil, gear reductions use 90wt gear oil.
