Warnings
1. Read the instructions before installing the pump and starting it up. Always follow the guidelines for assem-
bly in order to achieve optimum operational reliability.
2. Always check that the specifications of the motor and the motor control unit are correct, particularly in oper-
ating environments where there may be a risk of explosion.
3. Pumps should only be installed, disassembled, repaired and assembled by personnel trained in servicing
pumps.
4. Always ensure that all electrical installation is carried out by qualified staff.
5. Never hose down or clean the electric motor directly with water or cleaning fluid. If the motor will be used in
a washdown environment a washdown designed motor must be used.
6. Never dismantle the pump before the motor has been disconnected from the power supply. Remove the
fuses and disconnect the cable from the motor terminal box.
7. Never dismantle the pump until the isolating valves on the suction and discharge side have been closed
and the immediate pipe system has been drained. If the pump is used for hot and/or hazardous fluids, spe-
cial precautions must be taken. In such cases follow the local regulations for personal safety when working
with these products.
8. Always ensure that all pipe connections have been fitted and tightened properly before the pump is
started. If the pump is used for hot and/or hazardous liquids, take special care: follow the local regulations
for personal safety when working with these products.
9. Always wear personal protective equipment according to the requirements established by OSHA, NFPA,
NEC (See page 8).
10. Always remove all assembly and auxiliary tools from the pump before starting it up.
11. Make sure product lines and power cables are laid in suitable guides/trays.
12. Always ensure that no debris of any kind is present in the pump.
13. Always ensure that the pump and the motor shafts are properly aligned.
14. Always ensure that the suction and discharge valves isolating the pump are fully open before starting the
pump.
15. Never close or obstruct the outlet of the pump as the pressure in the system will increase above the speci-
fied maximum pressure of the pump and cause damage to the pump.
16. There are rotating parts in the pump. Never put hands or fingers into a pump while it is in operation.
17. The pump components and piping may contain sharp edges. Handle the rotors carefully because edges
may be sharp. Wear gloves while installing and servicing the pump to help avoid injuries from these haz-
ards.
18. Never touch the gear case during operation. The surface temperature may exceed 110°F (43°C). The
pump cover and body may be cold or hot depending on the product (CIP at 190°F (88°C) or 300°F (149°C)
product, for example).
19. Never touch the motor or motor shroud (if supplied) during operation, as it can become very hot.
20. When moving the pump, use appropriate lifting devices. Attach lifting devices to the eye bolts on the gear
case; the gear case has holes for attaching lifting eye bolts. Always use securely fitted lifting straps when
lifting with a crane or similar lifting gear. See "Lifting" on page 16.
21. Never drop parts on the floor.
22. Never exceed the maximum temperature or operating pressure specified under “Operating Parameters” on
page 13.
23. Guards should be used when applicable. See page 17, page 25, and page 129.
24. Make sure to keep the work area clear of machine parts, tools, product lines, foreign materials, and power

Care of Component Materials Waukesha Cherry-Burrell®Brand Universal 3 Pump
Page 10 95-03103 02/2021
Care of Component Materials
NOTE: SPX FLOW recommends the use of an FDA-approved anti-seize compound on all threaded
connections.
WARNING
Failure to comply with the Care of Component Materials could lead to bodily injury.
Stainless Steel Corrosion
Corrosion resistance is greatest when a layer of oxide film is formed on the surface of stainless steel. If film is
disturbed or destroyed, stainless steel becomes much less resistant to corrosion and may rust, pit or crack.
Corrosion pitting, rusting and stress cracks may occur due to chemical attack. Use only cleaning chemicals
specified by a reputable chemical manufacturer for use with 300 series stainless steel. Do not use excessive
concentrations, temperatures or exposure times. Avoid contact with highly corrosive acids such as hydroflu-
oric, hydrochloric or sulfuric. Also avoid prolonged contact with chloride-containing chemicals, especially in
presence of acid. If chlorine-based sanitizers are used, such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach), do not exceed
concentrations of 150 ppm available chlorine, do not exceed contact time of 20 minutes, and do not exceed
temperatures of 104°F (40°C).
Corrosion discoloration, deposits or pitting may occur under product deposits or under gaskets. Keep surfaces
clean, including those under gaskets or in grooves or tight corners. Clean immediately after use. Do not allow
equipment to set idle, exposed to air with accumulated foreign material on the surface. Corrosion pitting may
occur when stray electrical currents come in contact with moist stainless steel. Ensure all electrical devices
connected to the equipment are correctly grounded.
Alloy 88
Waukesha Alloy 88 is the standard rotor material for Universal 1, Universal 2, Universal 3, Universal TS, Uni-
versal Lobe, Universal 420/520, and 5000 Series Rotary PD pumps. This alloy was developed specifically for
corrosion resistance and close operating clearance requirements of high performance rotary positive displace-
ment pumps. Alloy 88 is a nickel based, corrosion-resistant, non-galling or seizing material. The ASTM desig-
nation is A494 Grade CY5SnBiM (UNS N26055), and the material is listed in the 3-A Sanitary Standards as
acceptable for product contact surfaces.
The corrosion resistance of Alloy 88 is approximately equal to AISI 300 Series Stainless Steel. However, Alloy
88 has limited resistance to certain aggressive chemicals that may be commonly used in contact with AISI 300
Series Stainless Steel.
Do not use Alloy 88 in contact with nitric acid. Nitric acid is commonly used to passivate new installations of
stainless steel equipment. Do not allow nitric acid based passivation chemicals to contact Alloy 88 rotors.
Remove the rotors during passivation and use a separate pump to circulate the passivation chemicals. Also, if
nitric acid-based CIP cleaning chemicals are used, remove the rotors prior to CIP cleaning and clean them
separately by hand in a mild detergent. If you have questions regarding other aggressive chemicals, please
contact SPX FLOW Application Engineering for assistance.
Elastomer Seal Replacement Following Passivation
Passivation chemicals can damage product contact areas of this equipment. Elastomers (rubber components)
are most likely to be affected. Always inspect all elastomer seals after passivation is completed. Replace any
seals showing signs of chemical attack. Indications may include swelling, cracks, loss of elasticity or any other
noticeable changes when compared with new components.

"Low Viscosity" rotors may be used with liquid temperatures up to 180°F (82°C).
Between 160° (71°C) and 200°F (93°C), consider other application factors, such as; speed of operation,
differential pressure, lubricating properties of liquid being pumped, and product viscosity. If these factors trend
toward a difficult application (high speed, high pressure, non-lubricating) then "Standard" clearance rotors are
recommended.
“Standard” clearance rotors are recommended for use with liquid temperatures between -40°F (-40°C) and
300°F (149°C). They provide additional clearance in the front face area plus rotor to body areas. Because of
this additional clearance there is more slip (inefficiency) with low viscosity liquids, which the pump must
overcome with higher operating speed (rpm.) VHP (viscous horsepower) is slightly lower when using standard
clearance rotors. Standard clearance rotors are also used when the product viscosity is above 200 CPS.
“316SS” clearance rotors are made from 316 stainless steel material (in place of standard non-galling alloy
88) and recommended for use at temperatures up to 200°F (93°C). These rotors provide additional clearance
all around (more than Standard clearance alloy 88 rotors) to ensure no running contact between the 316 SS
rotors and other 316 SS pump components. Because of this additional clearance, there is more slip
(inefficiency) with low viscosity liquids, which the pump must overcome with higher operating speed (rpm).
VHP (viscous horsepower) is slightly lower when using “316SS” clearance rotors.
NOTE: Consult SPX FLOW Technical Services for applications near 300°F (149°C) or above 200°F (93°C)
with 316SS rotors. For clearance data, see Table 18, “Rotor Clearances,” on page 89.

Important Safety
Information
DANGER
The pump contains internal moving parts. DO NOT put hands or
fingers into the pump body ports or drive area at any time during
operation. To avoid serious injury, DO NOT install, clean, service,
or repair the pump unless all power is off and locked out and the
pump is de-pressurized.
WARNING
The pump components and piping may contain sharp edges.
Handle the rotors carefully because edges may be sharp. Wear
gloves while installing and servicing the pump to help avoid
injuries from these hazards.
CAUTION
Maintenance should be performed only by trained personnel. See
“Qualification Guidelines for Operating Staff” on page 15.
Lifting
CAUTION
When moving the pump, use appropriate lifting devices. Always
use securely fitted lifting straps/chains when lifting with a crane or
similar lifting gear.
DANGER
Do not stand underneath the pump while it is being lifted.
As shown in Figure 3, attach lifting straps/chains to the two eye
bolts on the top of the gear case.
For Unit orders (a pump and motor
mounted on a common baseplate (not
pictured)), use straps to lift the unit by
the baseframe at either end. Do not lift
by the eye bolts on the pump or motor.
Due to the wide range of pump sizes and
motors, SPX FLOW cannot give lifting
instructions here for all configurations.
Contact SPX FLOW or an authorized lift-
ing expert if questions arise.
CAUTION
To lift the cover on a 210, 214, 320, or 324-U3, attach an eye bolt
to the threaded hole in the cover and attach lifting straps or
chains to the eye bolt.
CAUTION
To lift the body of a 130, 134, 180, 184, 210, 214, 220, 224, 320,
or 324-U3, use a lifting strap threaded through the ports on either
side of the body.
CAUTION
To lift the gear case assembly on pumps larger than 018-U3,
attach lifting straps/chains to the two eye bolts on the top of the

Install Pump and Drive Unit
CAUTION
Install the pump and piping system in accordance with local
codes and restrictions. Practices described in this manual are
recommended for optimum performance.
CAUTION
The motor must be installed by qualified personnel, e.g., a
licensed electrician.
All system equipment, such as motors, sheaves, drive couplings,
speed reducers, etc., must be properly sized to ensure satisfac-
tory operation of your Waukesha Cherry-Burrell brand pump
within its limits. Customer-supplied motors should have a basic
level of safety to prevent electrical hazards, and should be dealt
with in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
In a typical installation configuration, the pump and drive unit are
mounted on a common base plate. The unit can be installed in
any of the arrangements shown in Figure 4 through Figure 7.
NOTE: The gap between the pump body and gear case is
required for 3-A sanitary standards.
NOTE: When installing a unit as shown in Figure 7, level the unit
before installing the bolts.
The shaded area in Figure 4 through Figure 7 indicates the guard
location.
See “Pump Shaft Guards” on page 129.
WARNING
Full guards must be installed to isolate operators and
maintenance personnel from rotating components.
Guards are provided as part of a complete pump and drive
package and are selected by SPX FLOW Engineering for the
pump, base, and motor ordered. Do not modify the guard
provided by SPX FLOW. If the guard provided by SPX FLOW is
lost, contact SPX FLOW Customer Service and provide your
order number or PO number of the pump to order a correctly-
sized replacement guard.
If the pump was not purchased as a unit, it is the responsibility of
the customer to ensure proper guarding. Refer to your local
regulations for guidance.

Install Connections and
Piping
CAUTION
These pumps are positive displacement design and will be
severely damaged if operated with closed valves in discharge or
inlet lines. The pump warranty is not valid for damages caused by
a hydraulic overload from operation or start-up with a closed
valve in the system.
Piping Support
To minimize forces exerted on the pump, support all piping to the
pump independently with hangers or pedestals. Such forces can
cause misalignment of the pump parts and lead to excessive
wear of rotors, bearings, and shafts.
Figure 8 shows typical supporting methods used to independently
support each pipe, reducing the weight effect of piping and fluid
on the pump.
WARNING
Do not exceed 50 lb (22.7 kg) load on pump inlet or discharge
ports. Exceeding this limit may cause damage to the pump.
Expansion Joints
Thermal expansion of piping can cause tremendous forces. Use
thermal expansion joints to minimize these forces on the pump.
Flexible joints can be used to limit transmission of mechanical
vibration. Ensure that the free ends of any flexible connections in
the system are anchored.
Inlet Piping
Install the pump below the supply liquid level to reduce the air in
the system by flooded suction, to prevent the pump from becom-
ing air-bound (Figure 10).
If the pump is installed above the supply liquid level, the piping on
the inlet side must slope up toward the pump, preventing air
pockets in the pipes (Figure 11).

Install Check Valves Inlet Side on Lift Applications
Use check valves to keep the inlet line full, particularly with low-
viscosity fluids (Figure 12).
Discharge Side
For systems with liquid under a vacuum, install a check valve on
the discharge side of the pump. The check valve prevents back-
flow (air or fluid) to aid in the initial start-up by minimizing the
required differential pressure supplied by the pump to start the
flow (Figure 13).
Install Isolation Valves
Isolation valves permit pump maintenance and safe pump
removal without draining the system (Figure 14, item A).
NOTE: Make sure the inlet flow is not restricted. Don’t start the
pump deadheaded, e.g., operated with no flow through it.
Install Pressure Gauges
Pressure and vacuum gauges provide valuable information about
pump operation (Figure 15). Wherever possible, install the
gauges to help provide information on the following:
• Normal or abnormal pressures
• Indication of flow
• Changes in pump condition
• Changes in system conditions
• Changes in fluid viscosity

Install Relief Valves
Install relief valves to protect the pump and piping system against
excessive pressure. SPX FLOW recommends installing an exter-
nal relief valve designed to bypass fluid from the pump outlet to
the inlet side of the system (See Figure 16, Figure 17, and Figure
18).
