Principle of Operation
Two rollers, mounted on a rotor, alternately compress a thick-
walled hose in a patented concentric guide. As they rotate, they
push the liquid in the hose from the suction to the discharge
side. The subsequent opening of the hose, after a roller passes,
creates a vacuum on the suction side — resulting in continuous
pumping.
Installation Planning
Inlet Piping
• Size the inlet line one or two sizes larger than pump suction
opening.
• Suction lines should be as short and direct as possible.
• Size the suction line so that the velocity will not exceed
1 – 3 ft/sec.
Velocity = 0.408 x GPM
Pipe I.D.
• Install a 3 ft. to 4 ft. flexible hose between pump and hard
piping to absorb vibrations, expansions, or contractions.
• Install an inlet pressure/vacuum gauge on the inlet side of
the pump.
• To reduce turbulence and resistance, do not use 90° elbows.
If turns are necessary in the suction line use 45° elbows or
long sweeping elbows when required.
• Install piping supports where necessary to relieve strain on
the inlet line and to minimize vibration.
• In extreme cases, a pulsation dampener may be required to
decrease acceleration head.
Discharge Piping
• Size the discharge line to at least the size of the pump inlet
connection.
• Between the pump and hard piping, install flexible a hose
long enough to reduce pulsations (typically 3 ft. to 4 ft.).
• Install a pressure gauge in the discharge piping.
• In extreme cases, a pulsation dampener may be required to
absorb excessive pulsation (caused by high pump speed and
long discharge lines).

! CAUTION
Important Precautions
• To avoid personal injury or pump damage, follow all
instructions and safety precautions carefully.
• Don’t exceed the manufacturer’s recommended RPM
or pressure limits.
• Follow all codes and hydraulic recommendations on
installation and operation of the pumping system.
• To prevent vibration, mount the pump and motor securely
to a rigid, level base.
• For safety and easier servicing, provide adequate work
space around the pump. Allow space to remove the front
cover, hose clamps, hose, and drive unit.

Pump Test and Installation
Before you install the pump in the system, set the direction of
pump rotation and the position of the pressure rollers:
1. Remove front cover from pump (four screws).
2. See Figure 1. For easier adjustment, check that pressure
rollers are in position shown (one roller compressing middle
of hose, and one roller free).
Note: Model 2006 and 2007 pumps use a different rotor
assembly than the one shown.
Before Initial Start-Up
Before you pump fluid through the system, be sure that:
1. All shutoff valves are open.
2. All connections are tightly secured.
3. See Hose Identification Table. Hose material is compatible
with fluid being pumped, and hose design matches duty cycle
and discharge pressures.

3. Connect incoming power supply to motor (refer to motor
manufacturer’s instructions).
4. See Figure 2. Run pump and check direction of rotation,
“A” or “B” as shown. All pumps must rotate in direction “A“
(counterclockwise). To reverse rotation, exchange two of
three wires that connect incoming power to motor.
5. Set pressure rollers (see “Service: Setting the Roller
Pressure”). Roller pressure is not set at factory, because it
must be adjusted to compensate for size of inlet and discharge
lines and specific gravity of fluid being pumped.
6. Verify all fasteners are properly tightened.
7. Reattach front cover.
8. Install pump in system.
4. See Material Operating Temperatures Table. Temperature of
fluid pumped is within operating temperature range of hose
material installed in pump. Hose material can be identified by
5th and 6th digit of pump model number. E.g. 2007-NF-BB-D2,
where ‘NF’ designates natural rubber.
CAUTION: Contact factory when pumping a fluid that is
within 15˚ F of the maximum hose temperature. Take safety
precautions to insure hot pumpage does not harm operators
if a hose leaks.

Replacing Worn Hose
Remove Old Hose
1. Turn off and lock out all power to pump motor.
2. Remove front cover from pump (four screws).
3. See Figure 4. Position pressure rollers as shown.
4. Loosen screw(s) that secure mounting bracket of pressure
roller which is compressing hose. To maintain correct hose
compression adjustment, DO NOT loosen opposite roller’s
mounting bracket.
5. See Figure 5. Loosen hose clamp bolts. Remove hose
supports and clamps that secure both ends of hose.
6. Remove hose from pump casing.

Troubleshooting
If the hose fails prematurely, check for:
• Chemical attack. If the hose becomes soft, spongy, or harder
than when originally supplied, chemical attack may be the
problem.
• Improper hose selection for the fluid being pumped.
• Improper roller setting. If flow fluctuates back and forth or up
and down in the discharge line, the rollers may not be adjusted
with equal pressure on the hose.
• See Figure 3. If the hose fails in area A, this may occur from
operating the pump at a discharge pressure higher than the
hose is rated for, or with a closed discharge line. If the hose
fails in area B, this may occur from operating the pump under
a higher vacuum or higher inlet pressure than the hose is
rated for, or with a closed suction line.
• Line system problems — debris, closed valves, or a clogged
or packed line.
• Fluid temperature too high.
• Abrasive material being pumped, or solid size too large.
• Hose connector becomes loose:
- Wrong size connector.
- Suction pressure too high

Routine Maintenance
Periodically inspect hose for signs of failure caused by chemical
attack, material fatigue, etc.
Check non-petroleum silicone lubricant on hose, and reapply
if worn off.
Inspect roller bearings for damage, and replace if necessary
(See Parts List, item 11).
Check that all fasteners are properly tightened.

Install New Hose
1. Check for correct length of hose:
Model 2002: 13 in. (330 mm)
Model 2003: 15 3/8 in. (390 mm)
Model 2004: 23 1/4 in. (590 mm)
Model 2005: 33 7/8 in. (860 mm)
2. Install connectors in new hose.
3. Make sure that pressure rollers are in same position as before.
See Remove Old Hose, Step 3.
4. Position bent hose inside pump casing.
5. Push upper connector against end of pump casing. Install
top hose clamp and secure its bolt.
6. Repeat Step 5 on lower connection.
Important: On models 2002 through 2005, make sure the
hose lays completely against the inside of the pump casing.
7. Smear non-petroleum silicone grease on inner surface of
hose (where rollers contact hose).
8. Set roller pressure according to procedure following
(steps 2 thru 6).
Service (Models 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005)
Setting Roller Pressure
Note: This pressure setting must be checked when a new hose
is installed, because of variations in hose thickness.
1. Remove front cover from pump.
2. See Figure 6. Loosen all roller bracket screws and slide both
rollers away from the hose to reduce compression on the
hose. Retighten all roller bracket screws.
4. Test pump in full operation, and readjust as necessary.
5. Reattach front cover.
a. If there is vacuum on first attempt, rollers are set.
b. See Figure 8. If not enough vacuum, gradually move rollers
forward in 1/32 to 1/8 in. (0.8 to 3.0 mm) increments and
repeat test until suction seems to be correct. (Make sure
compression is same for both rollers by measuring roller
bracket in relation to rectangular rotor block).
3. See Figure 7. Start pump. Place palm of hand over suction
opening and check for vacuum.

opening and check for vacuum.
a. If there is vacuum on first attempt, rollers are set.
b. If not enough vacuum, gradually add 0.5 mm (.02 in.) shims
under one of rollers and repeat test until suction seems to
be correct. Do not install more than four shims under
each roller.
5. Add same number of shims under other roller.
6. Test pump in full operation, and readjust as necessary.
7. Reattach front cover.
