Shurflo 5000 Series Pump
SHURflo offers various pumps models for different applications. The
information outlined by this manual is general, and not specific to all 5000
series pumps. Contact SHURFLO or your local distributor for specific
application information and pump selection.
SHURFLO always recommends professional installation and service of pumps and
accessories.
CAUTION “Intermittent Duty” is defined as: operated and/or frequently
started within a period of time that would NOT cause the motor to reach its
maximum thermal limits. Once the maximum thermal limit is obtained, the motor
must be allowed to return to ambient temperature before resuming operation.
CAUTION DO NOT use to pump flammable liquids. Never operate the pump in
an explosive environment. Arcing from the motor brushes, switch or excessive
heat from an improperly cycled motor may cause an explosion.
CAUTION DO NOT assume fluid compatibility. If the fluid is improperly
matched to the pumps’ elastomers, a leak may occur. Pumps used to transfer
hazardous or hot (max. temperature 120 ºF [49 ºC]) chemicals must be in a
vented area to guard against the possibility of injury due to harmful or
explosive liquid/vapors.
CAUTION DO NOT operate the pump at pressures which cause the motor to
exceed the amperes rating indicated on the name plate. Various pump models are
equipped with thermal breakers to interrupt operation due to excessive heat.
Once the temperature of the motor is within proper limits it will
automatically reset, and the pump will start operation without warning.
MOUNTING The 5000 series pumps are self-priming. Horizontal and vertical
prime vary depending on the fluid viscosity and pump configuration. The pump
should be located in an area that is dry and provides adequate ventilation.
If mounted within an enclosure, provisions to cool the motor may be necessary.
Heat sinks which attach to the motor are available from SHURflo if increased
heat dissipation is necessary.
CAUTION DO NOT locate the motor near low temperature plastics or
combustible materials. The surface temperature of the motor may exceed 250 ºF
[120 ºC]. The pump may be mounted in any position. However, if mounting the
pump vertically the pump head should be in the down position so that in the
event of a leak, fluid will not enter the motor. DO NOT compress the feet,
doing so will increase vibration and noise.
PLUMBING Flexible high pressure tubing compatible with the fluid should
be used to connect the inlet/outlet ports. Tubing should be at least ½” [13
mm]. Restrictions on the inlet may cause vacuum levels to reach the fluid
vapor pressure, causing cavitation, degassing, vapor lock, noise, and a loss
in performance. Inlet pressure must not exceed 30 psi [2.1 bar] maximum.
Installation of a 50 mesh strainer is recommended to prevent foreign debris
from entering the pump. If a check valve is installed in the plumbing, it
must have a cracking pressure of no more than 2 psi [.14 bar].
ELECTRICAL Electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician, in accordance with all local electrical codes. The pump should be
on a dedicated (individual) circuit, controlled with a switch (double pole
VAC U.L./C-UL certified) rated at or above the fuse ampere indicated by the
pump motor label. All 115 VAC and 230 VAC pump motors and systems MUST be
grounded per local and state electrical codes. For the pump to meet U.L./C-UL
requirements the circuit MUST be protected with a slow-blow fuse (U.L./C-UL
certified) or equivalent circuit breaker as indicated on the motor label. Use
an approved wire of the size specified or heavier.
For a DC Voltage Circuit with a 10% Voltage Drop, we recommend the following
Wire Sizes [but please follow all local electrical codes]:

Pump and Back: FEET [M]| 20
[6.1]| 30
[9.1]| 50
[15.2]| 65
[18.2]| 80

[5.26]| 10

[8.36]
120/240 VAC Circuits
120/240 VAC Circuits are recommended to use a minimum of 14GA [2.08mm2 ] Wire
Size for the circuit lengths shown
If your pump has a by-pass feature, please read the following section.
BYPASS OPERATION & ADJUSTMENT
By-pass adjustment should only be performed by aprofessional technician with proper gauges and equipment. The by-pass is a spring loadeddiaphragm that opens up allowing water from the discharge side back to the inlet side. Theby- pass is set to begin opening at about 40 psi and creating full by-pass at about 62 psi (lowerpressure pumps will vary depending on the by-pass and pressure shut-off settings). Thepressure switch on the pump is set to shut off at 55 psi. If the switch or by-pass are adjustedtoo much, the by-pass and switch shut-off can overlap and THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF. Screwing the switch screw in clockwise will raise the shut-off pressure. Unscrewing the switchscrew counterclockwise will lower the pump shut-off pressure. Screwing the by-pass screw inwill raise the pressure at which the by-pass starts and raise the full by-pass pressure. Unscrewing the by-pass screw counterclockwise will lower the pressure at which by-passstarts and lower the full by-pass pressure. WARNING: If full by-pass is reached before theshut-off setting, the pump will not shut off. Full by-pass pressure setting should be at least 710 psi higher than pump shut off pressure. Raising any pressure settings will also increase theamp load and power used.
SERVICE Repair kits are readily available to repair standard 5000 series
pumps. Repair kits include simple illustrated instructions allowing easy
installation. To insure that the correct kit is received, the model number and
all name plate data must be included with the order. Visit our web site,
contact a SHURflo distributor or contact SHURFLO directly to order the
necessary repair kits.
CAUTION To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before initiating
any work. In the case of pump failure, the motor housing and/or the pumped
fluid may carry high voltage to components normally considered safe.
