Recommendations, Warnings & Installation
▶Receiving inspection
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage has occurred, file a claim immediately with the company that delivered the pump. If the manual is removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace it.
▶Storage
Any product that is stored for a period longer than six (6) months from the date of purchase should be bench tested prior to installation. A bench test consists of, checking the
impeller to assure it is free turning and a run test to assure the motor (and switch if provided) operates properly.
▶Controls
Manual models require a separate approved pump control device or panel for automatic operation. Be sure the electrical specification of the control selected properly matches the electrical specifications of the pump
▶Installation
Location – The pump should be located as near as possible to the liquid to be pumped and in no case should the pump be more than 25 feet above the surface of the liquid supply. The pump should always be as level as possible.
Locate the pump on a firm footing to make sure the pump will not move due to vibration. Flex coupled and Vbelt driven units should be permanently grouted onto a cement foundation. The pumps should be level to provide favorable operating conditions. In addition, the flexible coupling should be realigned after grouting in order to eliminate excessive wear on the coupling.
Allow a minimum of 18 inches in front of the pump case cover or hatch cover to permit easy removal and access to the interior of the pump. On belt-driven units, allow a minimum of 10 inches at the shaft end to permit easy removal of the pedestal or rotating cartridge.
All pump units rotate clockwise when looking from the driven end of the pump. The impellers are threaded on the shaft and it is necessary to slide one-half of the flexible coupling back when checking rotation in order to eliminate the possibility of unscrewing the impeller and damaging the pump. NOTE: Where impellers thread on the pump shaft, never check the direction of electric motor rotation without first disconnecting flexible coupling.THIS PUMP SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT A STRAINER ON THE END OF THE SUCTION LINE TO PREVENT STICKS, STONES, RAGS, AND OTHER FOREIGN MATTER FROM BEING DRAWN INTO THE IMPELLER. THE STRAINER SHOULD BE CLEANED REGULARLY TO INSURE FULL FLOW.
Suction – It is advisable to use a suction line of the same size as the pump port size. All horizontal suction lines should slope up to the pump to avoid trapped air pockets. An adjustable stand, pipe clamp, or floor flange must be installed to support the weight of the suction line. Using a smaller suction line than the pump port size can cause internal damage to the pump.
Discharge – Connect the discharge hose or pipe to the side outlet on the discharge tee or to the discharge elbow.
Pump Lubrication – The only part of the pump requiring lubrication is the bearing housing. The impeller and shaft seal is lubricated by the liquid being pumped and need no other lubrication.
The bearing housing is factory filled with 90-weight oil, for bearing lubrication. The oil level in the bearing housing should be periodically checked. This is accomplished by removing the oil dipstick and checking the oil level shown on it. If oil is required, add through the dipstick hole.
▶Operation
Priming – Remove the priming plug(s) (25) in the top of the pump body (18), and fill the pump body completely with liquid as free of solids as possible. In freezing weather, the pump should be primed with warm water, if possible, to prevent any damage that may be caused by ice films within the pump.
DO NOT OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT LIQUID IN THE PUMP BODY AS OPERATING DRY WILL RESULT IN DAMAGETOTHE SEAL.
Starting – Start the pump by applying power to the motor or by starting engine as outlined in the ENGINE or MOTOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Shutdown – Operation may be discontinued by stopping the engine as outlined in the ENGINE MANUAL or by disconnecting electric power if motor driven. When the pump has been operating in freezing weather or in liquid containing a considerable amount of solids, it is advisable to drain the pump body by removing the drain plug and flushing the solids out of the body. Replace the drain plug.
Operation, Service & Repair
▶Service & Repair
Check Valve Service – To clean out or repair the check valve, disconnect the suction piping. Remove hex. head screw (24) and suction flange (23). Remove gasket (22B), weights (22A), (22F), hex. head screw (22D), lockwasher (22C), and hex. nut (22E) and replace if worn or damaged.
When replacing the gasket and weight assembly onto pump body make sure that the HINGE section of the gasket is at the TOP and that LARGE weight is on the PUMP SIDE of the gasket.

Pull volute (15) and gasket (17) from seal plate (38). Remove hex. head screw (13) and shakeproof washers (14). Unscrew the impeller (12) from shaft (1) in the right-hand direction. Take note of the size and quantity of shims (10) & (11) used.
At reassembly make sure to use a combination of impeller shims (10) and (11) to result in an impeller-to-body clearance of approximately 0.015″ max.
Shaft Seal Service – Remove rotating member, spring, and retaining ring of seal (9) from the shaft. To remove stationary, remove hex. nuts (34) and lock washers (37) and pull seal plate (38) from coupling head (32). Press stationery out of seal plate. If any part shows wear or damage replace the complete seal (9).
HANDLE SEAL PARTS WITH EXTREME CARE. DO NOT DAMAGE LAPPED FACES.
To reassemble, lightly oil ring and press stationery into seal plate (38). Lightly oil inner surface of stationary and replace seal plate (38) onto coupling head (32). With lapped surface facing pedestal, slide rotating member onto the shaft until lapped faces of rotating member and stationary are together.
Pedestal & Shaft – Remove hex. head screws (5) and lock washers (6) from the bearing frame (2). Remove bearing cap (28), O-ring (41), lip seal (42), and snap ring (52). Remove shaft, slinger, and bearing assembly. To replace the inboard bearing (7) remove snap ring (27) and slinger (3).
Press off bearings (7) & (8) from shaft (1). Remove hex. head screws (44), lockwashers (47) & hex. nuts (48) and pull coupling head (32) from bearing frame (2), replace lip seal (36).
