The Tiger HP
®
pump may be mounted three ways: 1)
using a reservoir bung fi tting and Balcrank Universal
Bung Adapter, model 4411-009N. 2); foot mount to a
reservoir bung fi tting using a double-tapped adapter,
model 4411-018N. 3) wall mount the pump using a
Wall Bracket, model 4411-008.
If mounting to a reservoir bung port, thread the pump
bung adapter (4411-009N) into the bung thread on
the fl uid reservoir, attach a suitable suction tube or
hose to the pump fl uid entry port, lower the pump into
the mounted bung adapter, then tighten. Install the
1/8" NPT x 3/8" barb in the port on the bung adapter.
Slide one of the spring clamps on to each end of the
included 3/8" clear tubing. Connect one end of the
tubing to the barb fi tting on the pressure relief valve
(56) and the other end to the barb on the bung adapter.
Slide the spring clamps up on both barb fi ttings to
secure the tubing.
If mounting with a double-tapped bushing (4411-018N)
attach the suction tube or hose to the double-tapped
bushing, thread the bushing into the bung thread on
the fl uid reservoir, and attach the pump to the double
tapped bushing. The suction tube should be sub-
merged in the tank liquid and should reach to within 1
to 2 inches from the bottom of the reservoir. Install the
1/8" NPT x 3/8" barb in the port on the double tapped
bushing. Slide one of the spring clamps on to each
end of the included 3/8" clear tubing. Connect one end
of the tubing to the barb fi tting on the pressure relief
valve (56) and the other end to the barb on the bung
adapter. Slide the spring clamps up on both barb fi ttings
to secure the tubing.
If mounting onto a wall bracket, place the pump in the
bung-mount adapter provided on the bracket, then
tighten the adapter clamping threads. Attach a wall
Pump Installation
mount Suction Assembly Kit to the pump, then lower
the suction tube into the reservoir, adjusting height to
set the end of the tube 1 to 2 inches above the bottom
of the reservoir. The connection on the pressure relief
valve (56) will need to be routed back to the reservior or
another suitable collection point using 3/8" I.D. tubing of
the appropriate length. The optional model 4411-024N
2" pvc collar can be used on a standard 2" bung port
to facilitate routing the pressure relief connection back
to the reservior.
Provide a drop-tee fi tting, 3/8" size or larger, in the
nearby air supply pipeline. From that tee, install the
following pump air line assembly:
pipe bushing or adapter (to bring the line
drop
size to 3/4" male)
1/2" pipe drop to pump level
1/2" pipe elbow
1/2" air F-R-L
1/2" air shutoff ball valve (having an air relief vent
when closed)
1/2" to 3/8" reducer and a 3/8" x 3 ft. air hose
3/8" air line coupler and nipple.
Attach the air nipple to the air inlet port of the Tiger
HP
®
pump. During assembly of the air supply line, be
sure to clean out all foreign materials before making
connection to the pump.
Balcrank recommends that an air line lubricator be
used with turbine oil (viscosity 150-170 SSU @ 100
0
F) and set at a maximum oil feed rate of 1 drop every
2 hours of pump operation.
The pump air motor has been coated internally with
a special synthetic grease at initial assembly (avail-
able as Balcrank P/N 826733) and does not require
additional grease except during reassembly after a
repair.
NOTE:
Pump performance will be degraded
by air or fl uid threaded connections which are
not air-tight. Use Tefl on™ tape or other suitable
means to achieve a complete thread seal.
WARNING:
Attach a proper ground wire to
the pump grounding lug (item 51, p.10) before
starting the pump.
CAUTION:
Always tighten pump down
securely to avoid damage to the fl uid reservoir,
the pump, and nearby equipment. Be sure to
use only the specifi ed bung adapter.
