Pre-Installation
HANDLING
Avoid impact on pump or motor. In particular, avoid impact on discharge end of pump or rear motor access cover.

LOCATION

WARNING
In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup system(s) should be used.

  1. Locate pump as close to the fluid source as possible, keeping the inlet pipe short as possible.
  2. Place unit where the pump and piping are protected from the weather and extremes of heat, humidity and below freezing temperatures.
  3. Mount unit in a dry location that is easily accessible for inspection and maintenance. If a dry location is not available, mount it on a foundation well above the wet floor.
  4.  Allow ample clearance around unit for free air circulation.

SUCTION LIMITATIONS

  1. Units are non self-priming.
  2.  Pressure booster pumps are not recommended for suction lift applications.

PIPING

  1. Use galvanized piping, rigid plastic or other suitable pipe that will not collapse under suction or rupture due to pressure.

CAUTION

  1. If hose is used, make sure it is the reinforced industrial type that is rated higher than the shutoff pressure of the system. Ordinary garden hose will collapse and starve the pump of water.
  2. The diameter of the inlet and discharge pipe should be no smaller than the corresponding ports of the pump (See Figure 1). Smaller pipe will reduce the capacity of the pump. Increase pipe size on long runs.
  3. Avoid air pockets in inlet piping or air will accumulate at high points, making priming difficult.
  4. Use pipe compound on all joints and connections. Use Teflon tape or plastic joint stich, on plastic pipe. Draw all pipe up tightly.

IMPORTANT: The entire system must be air and water tight for efficient/proper operation.

Installation

PUMP INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Pump is built to handle clear water only; it is not designed to handle water containing sand, silt or other abrasives.

  1.  Refer to Figures 6, 7, and 8 for typical installations.
    CAUTION
    Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.

  2. If the pump is used as part of a permanent installation, bolt to a rigid foundation.
    WARNING
    Use only components that are rated for maximum pressure pump can produce when used in boosting system or any other system. Do not exceed the total maximum pressure boost as listed per model in Performance Charts B.

PRESSURE BOOST SYSTEMS

  1. On pressure boost systems, locate the pump so that there will always be a positive supply of water to the pump (See Figures 6, 7 and 8).

  2. For service convenience, install a gate valve and union in the inlet and discharge line.
    CAUTION
    Do not use a globe valve or other restricting type of valve that will seriously restrict the pumps discharge capacity.

  3. Install a check valve as shown in Figure 6. Be sure check valve flow arrows point in the direction of water flow.

  4. Whenever dirt, sand or debris is present in the supply water, install a strainer or filter on the inlet side of the pump (See Figure 7).
    NOTE: For heavy amounts of sediment, install a trap filter on the inlet side of the pump (See Figure 5).
    NOTE: Pressure gauges installed before and after the filter will show pressure differential indicating the need for filter replacement or cleaning.

  3.  Please refer to the pump’s motor nameplate as product may ship from the factory in either 115V or 230V. Please verify power supply and prewired connections before connecting or starting the pump. Three phase models are factory connected for 230V at the motor.

  4. c. If the motor wiring must be changed to conform to your spe-cific voltage requirements then the motor, pressure switch or other controls should be rewired to conform to one of the wiring diagrams (either 115V or 230V, single phase; 230V or 460V, three phase). Single phase 3 HP motors are 230V only and cannot be wired for 115V service.

  5. The motor wiring diagrams are Figures 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15 and also are located on the motor label of the pump.

  6. Remove the rear access cover of the motor.

  7. Make the wiring change and replace the rear access cover.
    WARNING
    Replace rear access cover before starting or operating pump. Failure to do so can result  in personal injury.
    IMPORTANT: Do not use an extension cord or splice wires. Joints should be made in an approved junction box. If the above information or the following wiring diagrams are confusing, consult a licensed electrician.

  8. 8. All units are not supplied with pressure switches, float devices, on/off switches, or the like (control devices). Controls should be wired in at this time, utilizing whatever instructions come with the controls. All units supplied with cords, will run whenever cord is plugged into power
    and will turn off whenever cord is disconnected from power.

MOTOR PROTECTION

  • All single phase motors have built in thermal protection for all voltages. The overload protects the motor against burnout from overload of low voltage, high voltage and other causes. The device is automatic and resets itself once the temperature has dropped to a safe point. Frequent tripping of the device indicates trouble in the motor or power lines and immediate attention is needed.
  • WARNING
  • Never examine, make wiring changes or touch the motor before disconnecting the main electrical supply switch. The thermal device may have opened the electrical circuit.
  • Three phase motors do not have a built in thermal protection. It is recommended that a properly sized magnetic or manual starter (both with properly sized heaters) be used with all three phase motors.
  • Install starters following instructions of the starter manufacturer. See Motor Rotation under Operation Section for changing rotation on three phase motors.
  • All motors (single and three phase) should be equipped with a correctly fused disconnect switch to provide protection. Consult local or United States National Electric Codes for proper fuse protection based on motor data chart (See Charts C, D and Wire

Operation

CAUTION

  • Unit must be full of fluid before operating.  Do not run dry, or against a closed discharge. Do not pump dirty water or abrasive liquids. To do so will cause pump failure and will void the warranty.

  • VALVES
    The inlet valve should be in the full open position and the discharge valve should be partially open, permitting some back pressure to be exerted against the pump when starting up. Open valve after  start up is completed.

  • PRIMING

  • NOTE: Before starting the pump it is absolutely necessary that both the pump and the inlet pipe be completely filled with water.

  • Pressure Boost Installations

  • Priming is automatic when pump is connected to a pressure source such as a hydrant or city main (See Figures 6, 7 & 8).

    1. Open valves or nozzle on inlet and discharge side of pump.

    2. To relieve trapped air, allow water supply to run a minimum of 30 seconds before starting the pump.
      IMPORTANT: An adequate flow of water going into the pump is required so that the pumps impellers and shaft seal do not run dry and fail.

    3. If you installed a pressure gauge at the pump inlet, a 3. If you installed a pressure gauge at the pump inlet, a This reading insures that there is an ample supply of water into the pump inlet housing.

MOTOR/PUMP ROTATION

  1.  Single phase models are one (1) rotation only (counterclockwise when facing the pump end) and cannot be reversed.
  2. Proper rotation of pump impeller is critical for three phase pumps. Pump motor should turn counterclockwise (CCW) when facing pump end. Momentarily “bump” (apply power for less than a second) the motor to check for proper rotation. To change rotation on three phase units, interchange any two (2) incoming line (power) leads.

CAUTION

  • Do not go over recommended maximum operating pressure (see Specifications), while maintaining minimum flow of 1.5 GPM thru the pump. Do not restrict the inlet line to the pump.
  • If driver (electric motor) is overloaded, a valve can be installed in the discharge line to increase the back pressure and reduce driver loading.

START – UP PROCEDURE
Once the preceding instructions have been completed, the pump can be started.

START – UP PROCEDURE
Once the preceding instructions have been completed, the pump can be started

  1. During the first few hours of operation, inspect the pump, piping and any auxiliary equipment used in connection with the unit.
  2. Check for leaks, excessive vibration or unusual noises.

NOTE: See rotation arrow on inlet casting.

Maintenance

Disconnect power supply and depressurize system before servicing pump or removing  any component.

  • ROUTINE
    • Pump should be checked routinely for proper operation. Replace or clean all filters and line strainers on a regular basis.
  • DRAINING
    • This pump cannot be completely drained because of internal design. Most of the liquid can be drained by tilting the discharge forward after removing discharge casting; or, the liquid can be drained  through the inlet port. Store in heated areas.
  • CLEANING
    • If used for spraying insecticides, pump should be thoroughly flushed with clean water after using.
  • LUBRICATION
    • The motor has prelubricated bearings. No lubrication is required.
  • SERVICING THREE-PHASE UNITS
    • Loctite (thread sealer) is used on the threads between the motor shaft and the pump shaft coupling. When reassembling, reapply thread sealer.
  • PUMP DISASSEMBLY
    • To disassemble the pump, refer to the exploded parts view and Figures 17, 18 & 19
  • Tools Required :
    • Block of wood (2” x 4” x 12”)
    • Piece of 3/4” pipe (12” to 24” long)
    • Pipe wrench
    • Strap wrench
    • 1/4” Dowel rod (about 24” long)
    • 9/16” Open end wrench
    • 3/8” Open end wrench
  1. To stabilize pump during disassembly, place block of wood underneath pump barrel.

  2. Thread pipe into pump inlet port. This acts as a handle.

  3. Using the pipe wrench, remove the discharge head, turning CCW (counter clockwise).

  4. With the strap wrench, loosen the barrel, turning CCW (counter clockwise). DO NOT use pipe wrench on pump barrel.

  5. Holding the impeller stack in place, position pump in upright position, standing unit on the motor end cover.

  6. Use the 1/4” dowel rod to hold the stages down and in place on the pump shaft. Remove pump barrel.

  7.  Slide the stages off the pump shaft onto the 1/4” dowel rod. Leave stages on rod and carefully set aside.
    NOTE: There may be some small .010” shim washers located next to the pump shaft coupling. Keep these shims for
    re-assembly.

  8. Through the side opening of the mounting frame, hold  the motor shaft with 9/16” wrench. Remove the shaft and coupling from the motor using the 3/8” wrench on the hex shaped pump shaft.
    NOTE: If the hex shaft comes free, leaving the coupling attached to the motor, use vise grips to free the coupling.

MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT

  1. Follow instructions under “Pump Disassembly”.

  2. Remove the mechanical seal assembly.

    • The rotary portion of the seal assembly (carbon ring, Buna-N gasket and spring will slide easily off the end of shaft).
    • Using two (2) screwdrivers, pry the ceramic seal and rubber  gasket from the recess of the mounting ring (See Figure 17).
      CAUTION
      The precision lapped faces of the mechanical seal are easily damaged. Handle the replacement seal carefully. Short seal life will result if seal faces (ceramic & carbon) are nicked, scratched or dirty.
  3. Clean the seal cavity of the mounting ring and the motor thoroughly.

  4. Wet outer edge of rubber cup on ceramic seat with liquid soap solution. Use sparingly (one drop only).
    NOTE: Liquid soap solution – one drop of liquid soap combined with one teaspoonful of water.

  5. With thumb pressure, press ceramic seal half firmly and squarely into seal cavity. Polished face of ceramic seat is up. If seal will not seat correctly, remove, placing seal face up on bench. Reclean cavity. Seal should now seat correctly (See Figure 18).

  6. If seal does not seat correctly after recleaning cavity, place a cardboard washer over polished seal face and carefully press into place using a piece of standard clean 3/4” pipe as a press (See Figure 19).
    IMPORTANT: Do not scratch seal face.

  7. Dispose of cardboard washer and recheck seal face to be sure it is free of dirt, foreign particles, scratches and grease.

  8. Inspect shaft to be sure it is free of nicks and scratches.

  9. Apply liquid soap solution sparingly (one drop is sufficient) to inside diameter of rubber rotating member.

  10. Slide rotating seal member (carbon face down toward ceramic face) and spring over the shaft.

IMPORTANT: Do not nick or scratch carbon face of seal when handling.
MOTOR REPLACEMENT
The motor can be replaced with any standard Nema 56J jet pump motor (of proper HP for each pump) by referring to the following instructions.

  1. Follow steps as outlined under Rotary Seal Replacement and Pump Disassembly.
  2.  Remove cap screws that connect the motor to the mounting ring and pull motor away.
  3. Replace motor with standard Nema 56J jet pump motor by positioning motor against the mounting frame and assembling with four (4) cap screws.
    IMPORTANT: Because damage to the shaft seal can occur in disassembly, a new seal will be necessary.

PUMP REASSEMBLY
Before reassembling the pump, carefully inspect the component parts of the cartridge (stage) assembly, looking for damage, wear or heat distortion. Pay careful attention to spacing direction of components, and location of shims. Refer to Figure 20 for proper facing and parts arrangement. If damage to Stage components is evident, a complete cartridge assembly or individual stage assemblies are available for replacement (See Replacement Parts List).

  1. Reassembly should follow the reverse order of the disassembly procedure with special care given to replacement of the rotary seal.
  2. Check top and bottom of o-rings for damage. It is recommended that new o-rings be used.
  3. Do not use pipe compound of Teflon tape on barrel threads. The o-rings will prevent pump from leaking.
  4. After pump is reassembled, tighten the discharge head to a torque of 45-50 ft/lbs. If torque wrench is not available, tighten firmly but avoid distortion or damage to plastic internal parts.
  5. After reassembly, apply power momentarily to unit (15 to 30 seconds). The pump and motor should rotate freely or with a light rubbing.
