3000 Flex Vane Impeller Pump
Instruction Manual
Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the product described. 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.
