SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest
pumps on the market today. Barnes
®
Pumps are products
engineered and manufactured of high quality components.
Over one hundred years of pump building experience along
with a continuing quality assurance program combine to
produce a pump which will stand up to the toughest
applications.
This Barnes Pumps, Inc. manual will provide helpful
information concerning installation, maintenance, and
proper service guidelines.
B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage
or shortages. If damage has occurred, file a claim
immediately with the company that delivered the pump. If the
manual is removed from the packaging, do not lose or
misplace.
B-3) Storage:
Short Term- Barnes Pumps are manufactured for efficient
performance following short inoperative periods in storage.
For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory
assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures
for up to six (6) months.
Long Term- Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty-four (24) months. The units should
be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed over
walled enclosure that provides protection from the elements
(rain, snow, wind-blown dust, etc.), and whose temperature
can be maintained b40 deg. F and +120 deg. F. (4.4
- 49°C) If extended high humidity is expected to be a problem,
all exposed parts should be inspected before storage and all
surfaces that have the paint scratched, damaged, or worn
should be recoated with a water base, air dry enamel paint.
All surfaces should then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.
Pump should be stored in its original shipping container. On
initial start up, rotate impeller by hand to assure seal and
impeller rotate freely. If it is required that the pump be
installed and tested before the long term storage begins,
such installation will be allowed provided:
1.) The pump is not installed under water for more than
one (1) month.
2.) Immediately upon satisfactory completion of the test,
the pump is removed, thoroughly dried, repacked in the
original shipping container, and placed in a temperature
controlled storage area.

SECTION C: INSTALLATION:
C-1) Location:
The pump should be located as near as possible to the liquid
to be pumped and in no case should the pump be more than
15 feet above the surface of the liquid supply. The pump
should always be as level as possible.
C-2) Suction System :
Connect suction pipe or hose to suction inlet. If hose is used,
it should be of the reinforced type to prevent collapsing under
suction. Make sure all suction System connections are tight
and free of air leaks, as even a very slight leak will greatly
reduce priming ability and pumping efficiency.
CAUTION!
THIS PUMP SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT A
STRAINER ON THE END OF THE SUCTION LINE TO
PREVENT STICKS, STONES, RAGS AND OTHER
FOREIGN MATTER FROM BEING DRAWN INTO THE
IMPELLER. THE STRAINER SHOULD BE CLEANED
REGULARLY TO INSURE FULL FLOW.
C-3) Discharge System :
Connect discharge hose or pipe to discharge opening in
pump.
C-4) Lubrication :
The pump requires no lubrication. It is equipped with a
mechanical shaft seal which is lubricated by the liquid being
pumped. Lubrication of the engine should be as indicated in
the Engine Manual.
CAUTION!
DO NOT OPERATE PUMP WITHOUT LIQUID IN THE
PUMP BODY AS OPERATING PUMP DRY WILL
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SEAL.
