INSTALLATION AND START-UP INFORMATION

Optimum performance of the pump is dependent upon the entire liquid system and will be obtained only with the proper selection, installation of plumbing, and operation of the pump and accessories.

SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum specifications refer to individual attributes. It is not implied that all maximums can be performed simultaneously. If more than one maximum is considered, check with your CAT PUMPS supplier to confirm the proper performance and pump selection. Refer to individual pump Data Sheet for complete specifications, parts list and exploded view.
LUBRICATION: Fill crankcase with special CAT PUMP oil per pump specifications [3CP-10 oz., 5CP-17 oz.]. DO NOT RUN PUMP WITHOUT OIL IN CRANKCASE. Change initial fill after 50 hours running period. Thereafter, change oil every 3 months or 500 hour intervals. Additional lubrication may be required with increased hours of operation and temperature.
PUMP ROTATION: Pump was designed for forward rotation to allow optimum lubrication of the crosshead area. Reverse rotation is acceptable if the crankcase oil level is increased slightly above center dot to assure adequate lubrication.
PULLEY SELECTION: Select size of motor pulley required to deliver the desired flow from Horsepower Requirement and Pulley Selection Chart (refer to Tech Bulletin 003 or individual Data Sheet).
DRIVE SELECTION: The motor or engine driving the pump must be of adequate horsepower to maintain full RPM when the pump is under load. Select the electric motor from the Horsepower Requirement Chart according to required pump discharge flow, maximum pressure at the pump and drive losses of approximately 3-5%. Consult the manufacturer of gas or diesel engine for selection of the proper engine size.
MOUNTING: Mount the pump on a rigid, horizontal surface in a manner to permit drainage of crankcase oil. An uneven mounting surface will cause extensive dam-age to the pump base. To minimize piping stress, use appropriate flexible hose to inlet and discharge ports. Use the correct belt; make sure pulleys are aligned. Excessive belt tension may be harmful to the bearings. Hand rotate pump before starting to be certain shaft and bearings are free moving.
LOCATION: If the pump is used in extremely dirty or humid conditions, it is recom-mended pump be enclosed. Do not store or operate in excessively high temperature areas or enclosed without proper ventilation.
INLET CONDITIONS: Refer to complete Inlet Condition Check-List in this manual before starting system. DO NOT STARVE THE PUMP OR RUN DRY. Temperatures above 130°F are permissible. Add 112 PSI inlet pressure per each degree F over 130°F. Elastomer or RPM changes may be required. See Tech Bulletin 002 or call CAT PUMPS for recommendations.
C.A.T.: Installation of a C.A.T. (Captive Acceleration Tube) is recommended in ap-plications with stressful inlet conditions such as high temperatures, booster pump feed, long inlet lines or quick closing valves.
DISCHARGE CONDITIONS: OPEN ALL VALVES BEFORE STARTING SYSTEM to avoid deadhead overpressure condition and severe damage to the pump or system. Install a Pulsation Dampening device on the discharge head or in the discharge line as close to the head as possible. Be certain the pulsation dampener (Prrrrr-o-lator) is properly precharged for the system pressure (refer to individual Data Sheet). A reliable Pressure Gauge should be installed near the discharge outlet of the high pressure manifold. This is extremely important for adjusting pressure regulating devices and also for proper sizing of the nozzle or restricting orifice. The pump is rated for a maximum pressure; this is the pressure that is read at the discharge manifold of the pump, NOT AT THE GUN OR NOZZLE. Use PTFE thread tape or pipe thread sealant (sparingly) to connect accessories or plumbing. Exercise caution not to wrap tape beyond the last thread to avoid tape from becoming lodged in the pump or accessories. This condition will cause a malfunction of the pump or system.
PRESSURE REGULATION: All systems require both a primary pressure regulating device (i.e., regulator, unloader) and a secondary pressure safety relief device (i.e., pop-off valve, safety valve). The primary pressure device must be installed on the discharge side of the pump. The function of the primary pressure regulating device is to protect the pump from over pressurization, which can be caused by a plugged or closed off discharge line. Over pressurization can severely damage the pump, other system components and can cause bodily harm. The secondary safety relief device must be installed in-line between the primary device and the pump or on the opposite side of the manifold head. This will ensure pressure relief of the sys-tem if the primary regulating device fails. Failure to install such a safely device will void the warranty on the pump. If a large portion of the pumped liquid is by-passed (not used) when the high pressure system is running, this by-pass liquid should be routed to an adequately sized, baffled supply tank or to drain. If routed to the pump inlet, the by-pass liquid can quickly develop excessive heat and result in damage to the pump. A tem-perature control device to shut the system down within the pump limits or multiple THERMO VALVES must be installed in the by-pass line to protect the pump.
NOZZLES: A worn nozzle will result in loss of pressure. Do not adjust pressure regulating device to compensate. Replace nozzle and reset regulating device to system pressure.
PUMPED LIQUIDS : Some liquids may require a flush between operations or before storing. For pumping liquids other than water, contact your CAT PUMPS supplier. STORING: For extended storing or between use in cold climates, drain all pumped liquids from pump and flush with antifreeze solution to prevent freezing and damage to the pump. DO NOT RUN PUMP WITH FROZEN LIQUID (refer to Tech Bulletin 083).

WARNING All systems require both a primary pressure regulating device (i.e., regulator, unloader) and a secondary pressure safety relief device (i.e., pop-off valve, safety valve). Failure to install such relief devices could result in personal injury or damage to the pump or to system components. CAT PUMPS does not assume any liability or responsibility for the operation of a customers high pressure system.

CAUTION: Before commencing with service, shut off drive (electric motor, gas or diesel engine) and turn off water supply to pump. Relieve all discharge line pressure by triggering gun or opening valve in discharge line. After servicing is completed, turn on water supply to pump, start drive, reset pressure regulating device and secondary valve, read system pressure on the gauge at the pump head. Check for any leaks, vibration or pressure fluctuations and resume operation.

INLET CONDITION CHECK-LIST Review Before Start-Up
Inadequate inlet conditions can cause serious malfunctions in the best designed pump. Surprisingly, the simplest of things can cause the most severe problems or go unnoticed to the unfamiliar or untrained eye. REVIEW THIS CHECK-LIST BEFORE OPERATION OF ANY SYSTEM. Remember, no two systems are alike, so there can be no ONE best way to set-up a system. All factors must be carefully considered.
INLET SUPPLY should exceed the maximum flow being delivered by the pump to assure proper performance.

• Open inlet shut-off valve and turn on water supply to avoid starving the pump. DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY.

• Temperatures above 130°F are permissible. Add 1/2 PSI inlet pressure per each degree F over 130°F. Elastomer or RPM changes may be required. See Tech Bulletin 002 or call CAT PUMPS for recommendations.

• Avoid closed loop systems especially with high temperature, ultra-high pressure or large volumes. Conditions vary with regulating/unloader valve.

• Low vapor pressure liquids, such as solvents, require a booster pump and C.A.T. to maintain adequate inlet supply. LI Higher viscosity liquids require a positive head and a C.A.T. to assure adequate inlet supply.

• Higher temperature liquids tend to vaporize and require positive heads and C. A.T. to assure adequate inlet supply.

• When using an inlet supply reservoir, size it to provide adequate liquids to accom-modate the maximum output of the pump, generally a minimum of 6-10 times the GPM (however, a combination of system factors can change this requirement); provide adequate baffling in the tank to eliminate air bubbles and turbulence; install diffusers on all retum lines to the tank.
  INLET LINE SIZE should be adequate to avoid starving the pump.

• Line size must be a minimum of one size larger than the pump inlet fitting. Avoid tees, 90 degree elbows or valves in the inlet line of the pump to reduce the risk of flow restriction and cavitation.

• The line MUST be a FLEXIBLE hose, NOT a rigid pipe, and reinforced on SUCTION systems to avoid collapsing.

• The simpler the inlet plumbing the less the potential for problems. Keep the length to a minimum, the number of elbows and joints to a minimum (ideally no elbows) and the inlet accessories to a minimum.

• Use pipe sealant to assure air-tight, positive sealing pipe joints.
  INLET PRESSURE should fall within the specifications of the pump.

• Acceleration loss of liquids may be increased by high RPM, high temperatures, low vapor pressures or high viscosity and may require pressurized inlet and C.A.T. to maintain adequate inlet supply. DO NOT USE CAT. WITH SUCTION INLET.

• Optimum pump performance is obtained with +20 PSI (1.4 BAR) inlet pressure and a C.A.T. for certain applications. With adequate inlet plumbing, most pumps will perform with flooded suction. Maximum inlet pressure is 60 PSI (4 BAR).

• After prolonged storage, pump should be rotated by hand and purged of air to facilitate priming. Disconnect the discharge port and allow liquid to pass through pump and measure flow.
  INLET ACCESSORIES are designed to protect against overpressurization, control inlet flow, contamination or temperature and provide ease of servicing.

• A shut-off valve is recommended to facilitate maintenance. U Installation of a C.A.T. is essential in applications with stressful conditions such as high temperatures, booster pump feed or long inlet lines. Do not use C.A.T. with negative inlet pressure. U A stand pipe can be used in some applications to help maintain a positive head at the pump inlet.

• Inspect and clean inlet filters on a regular schedule to avoid flow restriction. U A pressure transducer is necessary to accurately read inlet pressure. (Short term, intermittent cavitation will not register on a standard gauge.)

• All accessories should be sized to avoid restricting the inlet flow. U All accessories should be compatible with the solution being pumped to prevent premature failure or malfunction.

• Optional inlet protection can be achieved by installing a pressure cutoff switch between the inlet filter and the pump to shut off pump when there is no positive inlet pressure.
  BY-PASS TO INLET Care should be exercised when deciding the method of by-pass from control valves.

• It is recommended the by-pass be directed to a baffled reservoir tank, with at least one baffle between the by-pass line and the inlet line to the pump.

• Although not recommended, by-pass liquid may be returned to the inlet line of the pump if the system is properly designed to protect your pump. A PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE must be installed on the inlet line (BETWEEN THE BY-PASS CONNECTION AND THE INLET TO THE PUMP) to avoid excessive pressure to the inlet of the pump. It is also recommended that a THERMO VALVE be used in the by-pass line to monitor the temperature build-up in the by-pass loop to avoid premature seal failure.

• A reinforced, flexible, low-pressure hose rated up to 3000 PSI should be used for routing by-pass back to the pump inlet.

• Caution should be exercised not to undersize the by-pass hose diameter and length. Refer to Technical Bulletin 64 for additional information on the size and length of the by-pass line.

• Check the pressure in the by-pass line to avoid overpressurizing the inlet.

• The by-pass line should be connected to the pump inlet line at a gentle angle of 45° or less and no closer than 10 times the pump inlet port diameter e.g. 1-1/2″ port size = 15″ distance from pump inlet port.

Arriving at a total line pressure loss, consideration should then be given to pressure loss created by valves, fittings and elevation of lines. If a sufficient number of valves and fittings are incorporated in the system to materially affect the total line loss, add to the total line length, the equivalent length of line of each valve or fitting.

DIAGNOSIS AND MAINTENANCE

One of the most important steps in a high pressure system is to establish a regular maintenance program. This will vary slightly with each system and is determined by various elements such as the duty cycle, the liquid being pumped, the actual specifications vs rated specifications of the pump, the ambient conditions, the inlet conditions and the accessories in the system. A careful review of the necessary inlet conditions and protection devices required before the system is installed will eliminate many potential problems. CAT PUMPS are very easy pumps to service and require far less frequent service than most pumps. Typically, only common tools are required, making in-field service convenient, however, there are a few custom tools, special to certain models, that do simplify the process. This service manual is designed to assist you with the disassembly and reassembly of your pump. The following guide will assist in determining the cause and remedy to various operating conditions.
