General Safety Information
1. WARNING: DO NOT pump solvents, thinners or
gasoline, as explosion may result causing personal
injury or death and/or property damage. 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
will void the product warranty.
2. WARNING: DO NOT operate with any of the mount-
ing bolts removed from the motor case. Explosion
resulting in personal injury, death or property dam-
age may occur. Case openings must be sealed to
avoid explosion and maintain ignition protected
rating.
3. Do not pump liquids at temperatures higher than the
recommended maximum temperatures (140oF).
4. Disconnect power before servicing.
5. Drain all liquids from the system before servicing any
component.
6. Check hose for weak or worn condition before each use.
Make certain that all connections are tight and secure.
7. Periodically inspect the pump and the system compo-
nents. Perform routine maintenance as required (see
Maintenance section).
8. Do not use these pumps for pumping water or other
liquids for human or animal consumption.

1. Always drain and flush the pump before servicing or
disassembling for any reason (see instructions).
2. Always drain and flush pumps prior to returning unit for
repair.
3. Never store pumps containing hazardous chemicals.
4. Before returning the pump for service/repair, drain out
all liquids and flush the unit with 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 Protec-
tion Agency Licensing.
Hazardous Substance Safety Information
The pump must be mounted in a dry location. The motor is
not waterproof; therefore, it must not be submerged. The
unit can be operated in any positon. It is advantageous to
mount the pumps so the water dripping from a loose port
connection will not wet the motor. The pump head may be
mounted at 90oincrements on the motor to allow mounting
as needed.
Installation and Operation
ELECTRICAL HOOKUP
WARNING: If the pump is operated in an area containing
flammable vapors, wire leads must be joined by insulated
mechanical locking connectors. Loose or inadequate
wire connections can spark resulting in explosion. Prop-
erty damage, injury or death may occur.
CAUTION: Lead wires on the motor must not be
shortened or the warranty will be voided.
Positive terminal of the battery is connected to an overload
protected distribution panel. The red lead with the fuse holder
is connected to the distribution panel. The black wire is
connected to the negative terminal of the battery. For proper
operation, the motor must rotate clockwise when viewed from
the pump end. The proper sized fuse has been installed in the
fuse holder. If this fuse blows, replace it with the same size
fuse after determining the reason for the blown fuse. Use the
proper wire size as determined by the wiring table.
OPERATION
Try not to run the pump dry because doing so shortens the
seal life. If you must run the pump dry, do so only for short
periods of time. The pump may run against a closed outlet.
Small particles will pass through the pump, so a 50-mesh
intake strainer should be fitted to the pump.
CAUTION: The motor runs hot, up to 180oF on the motor
case. Contact during operation may cause a burn.

MAINTENANCE
Check all electrical and plumbing connections periodically.
In salt water applications, corrosion of the electrical connec-
tions can cause a loss of performance or non-operation. The
motor should be protected with a corrosion inhibiting spray.
Any rust should be removed and the motor repainted.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the cover screws, cover and o-ring.
2. Remove the pipe plug on the side of the housing and
rotate the impeller so the set screw aligns with the plug
hole. Insert a 3/32" allen wrench through the plug hole
and loosen the impeller set screw. Remove the impeller.
3. Remove the screws that secure the housing to the
motor, and remove the housing.
4. From the inside of the housing, insert a dowel into the
seal area and press the seal out of the seal bore.
ASSEMBLY
1. From the rear of the housing, press the seal into the seal
bore with the open lip toward the pump cavity.
2. Apply a small amount of grease to the motor shaft in the
area where the seal contacts it. Slide the housing onto
the shaft and secure it to the motor with the (2) two hex
head screws.
3. Align the impeller set screw with the flat on the motor
shaft and slide the impeller onto the shaft until it contacts
the rear of the housing. Slide the impeller forward 1/32"-
1/16" and secure it with the set screw. Rotate the
impeller by hand to ensure that it does not rub on the
housing. Reinstall the pump plug in the housing.
4. Clean the surfaces of the cover and housing where they
make contact. A small amount of grease on the o-ring
will ease installation. Place the o-ring on the cover.
Align the cover with the housing and secure it with the (3)
three cover screws and lock washers.

Care of the Pump
AFTER USE PUMP CARE
A. GUMMING — Gumming or corrosion inside the pump can
be prevented by thoroughly flushing the pump clean with
water or a liquid that will neutralize the liquid pumped. (For
many liquids, a solution of 1 gallon ammonia mixed with
6 gallons of water works well.)
B. To PREVENT RUST/CORROSION, we recommend
(after Step A) flushing the pump with permanent-type
automobile radiator antifreeze containing a rust inhibitor,
and then preventing air from getting in the pump. Use a 50-
50 solution of antifreeze and water. Flush it through the
pump, and then drain it. Plug the ports to keep air from
getting into the pump during storage. Cleaning and rust
protection should be done when the pump will be stored
away for more than two to three days.
Hypro Corporation (“Hypro”) warrants to the original purchaser of its products (the “Purchaser”) that such products will be free from defects in
