all liquid from pump before lifting.
Lift pump and trailer only.
Do not load piping, hoses
or other equipment on trailer during lifting.
Use adequate strength chain or cable
assemblies (not supplied). Chain or cable must
be attached to all four lifting eyes. A center
lifting rig beam (not supplied) must be used to
balance load and to prevent chain or cable from
contacting fuel tank, engine, battery, or pump
casing during lifting.
Operation
1.
Fill engine with oil according to engine
manufacturer’s specifications listed in
engine manual supplied.
2.
Fill fuel tank with appropriate fuel for
engine.
3.
Fill pump casing with water through
discharge manifold priming port. Casing
must be full of water or pump will not
prime.
Do not run pump dry as
permanent damage to the
mechanical seal will result.
4.
Start the engine, following instructions in
engine manual.
5.
No load engine speed is set at 3400 rpm.
Engine speed will drop to 3200 rpm during
operation.
6.
A throttle control (not supplied) may be
installed if variable speed operation is
desire.
Do not operate pump
unattended. Shaft seal
damage will occur if prime is lost or if flow
is insufficient to keep the shaft seal cool.
PUMP END DRAIN
Pump end is equipped with an NPT drain port.
The port is located on the pump adapter plate
(Ref. No. 42) at the 6 o’clock position. An elbow
(Ref. No. 44) is installed in the port to direct the
liquid down through frame. An indented hex
pipe plug (Ref. No. 45) is installed in elbow. A
9/16" L-hex wrench is provided to remove plug.
A ball valve and length of pipe or hose (not
supplied) may be installed to direct the drain
liquid away from the pump.
ALWAYS DRAIN LIQUID:
1.
After pumping operation is complete if
freezing temperatures may be
experienced.
2.
Before transporting pump.
3.
Before lifting pump.
SEAL WASH PORTS
These units are equipped with provisions for
the addition of a seal wash hose (not supplied).
When pumping water containing abrasive
sediment or when a buildup of material on the
shaft seal is encountered, a seal wash may
increase seal life. The pump adapter plate is
equipped with two 1/8" NPT tapped ports; one
at the (high pressure volute discharge) 10
o’clock position on adapter face and one on top
of the locating boss (low pressure seal cavity).
NOTE: Fittings and hose must be compatible
with liquid pumped, liquid temperature, and
rated for maximum discharge pressure in the
installation.
NOTE: Addition of seal wash hose may affect
priming performance. After installing seal wash
hose monitor length of time required to reach
full prime.
Standard Installation:
Remove 1/8" NPT plugs (Ref. No. 43). Install
appropriate fittings and hose between the two
ports.
Abrasive Installation:
Remove 1/8" NPT plugs. Install appropriate
fittings and hose between the two ports. The
installation of an in-line abrasives separator is
recommended. Contact appropriate
manufacturer for details.
Clean Water Injection Installation: Remove
1/8" NPT pipe plug from low pressure port.
Connect external clean water source line to low
pressure port of adapter with appropriate hose
and fitting. Incoming pressure must be at least
10 psi greater than seal cavity pressure. A
check valve is recommended to prevent back
flow.
TRANSPORT TRAILER
Transport trailer (Ref. No. C1) supplied with
pump assembly is for off road use only as
shipped. Trailer registration for use on public
roads is the responsibility of the owner. A
Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin listing the
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is included
with the trailer. Trailer registration requirements
are regulated by each state and local
government. Contact your State Department of
Motor Vehicles or Department of Transportation
for information and guidance on licensing or
titling the trailer/pump for towing on public roads
in your state.
Towing safety and
operational guidelines:
Follow all safety and operational rules listed
in the trailer instruction manual supplied.
1. Make sure vehicle is capable of towing
the load. Make sure vehicle hitch is rated
for the load.
2. Make sure the trailer coupler and hitch
ball are the same sizes and rated for the
load.
3. Make sure trailer coupler is correctly and
safely connected to hitch ball.
4. Be sure to use safety chains supplied with
trailer. Safety chains should be attached
to towing vehicle at the same length of
both sides and should not drag on the
ground.
5. Never overload trailer. Trailer is rated to
carry pump, pump frame and a full load of
fuel. Loading other items on the trailer
may cause GVW to exceed trailer rating.
Maximum safe highway
towing speed is 45 mph.
Never allow passengers on the trailer.
6. Check all lights for proper operation
before each use.
7. Check tires for wear and proper inflation
before each use. Inflate to psi rating on
tire.
8. Check safety chains for wear and solid
connection to trailer frame.
MAINTENANCE:
SLIDING ENGINE SLED OPERATION
Refer to Repair Parts pages.
Disconnect spark plug
wires and battery to
prevent accidental starting.
NOTE: Drain pump casing (Ref. No. 36) by
removing plug (Ref. No. 45), discharge line, and
suction line of all liquid before sliding engine
sled.
1.
Loosen six 1/2-13 nuts (Ref. No. A13)
that are pressing clamp angle (Ref. NO.
A5) to side angle (Ref. No. B1).
To access impeller/seal plate area:
2.
Remove three 1/2-13x1-3/4" cap screws
(Ref. No. 4) holding bearing housing
adapter (Ref. No. 11) to pump adapter
(Ref. No. 42).
3.
Grasp frame spacer (Ref. No. B7) under
fuel tank (Ref. No. B4) and slide
engine/sled assembly back from pump
adapter. Slide far enough to access
impeller approximately 10" to 12".
NOTE: If engine/sled assembly will not slide
back easily, the seal plate (Ref. No. 10) may be
stuck in pump adapter. Remove two 1/2"-13 x
1" bolts (Ref. No. 12) from bearing housing
adapter. Insert two 1/2"-13 x 1-3/4" bolts and
tighten evenly and slowly until seal plate
loosens from pump adapter.
4.
Tighten 1/2-13 nuts to prevent
engine/sled from moving during
maintenance procedure.
To access pump volute and inside of
casing:
5.
Loosen four 5/8-11 hex nuts (Ref. No. 2)
holding casing to adapter. Slide 5/8" bolt
(Ref. No. 1) from casing ear four places.
