Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.

FLEX VANE IMPELLER PUMP

CAUTION DO NOT pump flammable liquids. Do not pump in flammable or explosive environments.

Mounting
The pump can be positioned up to 7.5 feet (2.3 meters)
above the tank liquid level. Consider a location that allows easy access if maintenance is required. The pump should not be located in an area less than one cubic foot unless adequate ventilation is provided.
CAUTION   Excessive heat may trigger the integral thermal breaker and interrupt operation. When the motor temperature drops, the thermal breaker may restart the pump without warning.

CAUTION To prevent electrical shock, protect pump from rain or washdown. Flex vane pumps are not waterproof.
The pump may be mounted in any position. If mounting the pump vertically, the pump head should be in the down position so that in the unlikely event of a leak, water will
not enter the motor.
Use# 8 hardware to fasten the pump. The mounting feet are intended to isolate the pump from the mounting surface; overtightening will reduce the ability to isolate  vibration and noise.

Electrical
The pump should be on a dedicated circuit. Use correct fuse and wire size as specified in the following table.
Increase wire size to 12 AWG on 3000-050 if wire length exceeds 20 feet.

VOLTAGE STOCK# FUSE WIRE LEADS WIRE SIZE

12VDC| 3000-050| 15Amp| Red (+ pos)| 14 AWG
12VDC| 3000-350| n/a| Black (- neg)| 1.6 mm Dia.
115VAC| 3000-100| n/a| 3 prong plug with ground|

For 3000-050, an “on/off” switch rated at or above 15amps is recommended. The switch must interrupt current flow on the (+ red) positive lead. Marine applicationsshould use U/L approved marine duty (ignition protected)switches and wiring standards.
On 12 VDC models 3000-050 and -350, the black (-) negative lead should be the same gauge as the red (+) positivelead, and be connected to a known ground. 3000-100must be connected to a properly grounded three-prong115 VAC receptacle.

Plumbing
SHURflo recommends 1/2” (13mm) I.D. flexible high pressure tubing to both ports. Pump ports should not be connected to rigid pipe. Rigid pipe may crack ports or transmit excessive noise.
Make sure washer in inlet fitting is clean and in good condition. Vacuum leaks on the inlet side will cause a “no prime” condition.
Installation of 2522-3300 50 mesh in-line strainer on the inlet side is recommended to prevent foreign debris from entering the pump. Failure due to debris is not covered under the SHURflo limited warranty.

Operation

NOTE DO NOT run pump dry. Pump requires liquid for lubrication. If pump does not prime within 20 seconds, recheck installation and plumbing. Failure due to dry  running is not covered under the SHURflo limited warranty. To help priming, pour one ounce (30 ml) of liquid in inlet port.
Pump should prime within 20 seconds. If not, turn off the pump and do the following:
Disconnect inlet hose at pump.
Pour one ounce (30 ml) of liquid into inlet port.
Check washers in inlet hose and make sure inlet is airtight.
Make sure inlet and discharge lines are free of kinks and restrictions.
Make sure pump is less than 7.5 ft (2.3 m) above the liquid source.
On older pumps that do not prime, replace the impeller with SHURflo P/N 94-120-00 impeller/seal kit.
Pump will deliver approximately 3.8 gallons (14 liters) per minute when discharge is not restricted. As discharge is restricted, pressure increases, and flow decreases. To prevent motor over heating, do not operate pump at a discharge pressure of more than 12 psi (.8 bar) or discharge lift of more than 28 feet (8.5 meters). Motor is rated for intermittent duty only.

Winterizing
If water is allowed to freeze in the system, serious damage to the plumbing and the pump may occur. The best guarantee against damage is to drain the water system.
Failures of this type will void the warranty.
