Installation and Operation Precautions
y
The pump is equipped with a pressure sensing demand switch that controls the maximum
operating pressure.
y
In addition, never subject the pump to pressures above factory set/max pressure rating.
y
As long as there is inlet water pressure, the pump will not stop forward flow of water even if the
motor is turned off. Be sure the system has positive means of shutting off water supply.
y
Do not operate pump in an explosive environment. Arcing from the motor brushes, switch or
excessive heat from an improperly cycled motor may cause an explosion.
y
Do not locate the pump motor near low temperature plastics or combustible material. The
surface temperature of the motor may exceed 180°F (82°C).
y
Do not pump gasoline or other flammable liquids. Pump head materials are designed for use
with water only. Do not use with petroleum products.
y
Do not assume fluid compatibility. If the fluid is improperly matched to the pumps’ elastomers,
a leak may occur.
y
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before initiating any work. In the case of pump
failure, the motor housing and/or pump fluid may carry high voltage to components normally
considered safe. Therefore, always consider electrical shock hazard when working with and
handling electrical equipment. If uncertain, consult an electrician. Electrical wiring should only
be done by a qualified electrician per local and state electrical codes.
Servicing —
y
Every Year: Check system against operating standards. Flush with clean water and store in
warm dry place.
y
Every 2-3 Years: We recommend replacing the valves and checking against operating
standards.
Recommendations —
Electrical:
y
The ProFlo™ series pumps are designed for intermittent duty. Make sure that “OFF” periods are
sufficient. Consult the factory for particular data and design criteria.
y
Be sure power supply used is adequate for the application.
y
Pump and motor specifictions are based on an alternator charged battery (13.6 VDC)
y
Use sufficient battery supply power. UTV and lawn tractor batteries may affect pump
performance due to low voltage and amp ratings
y
Rapid On/Off Cycling must be limited to no more than 6 times per minute, even
if the pump is operating in the Continuous Duty zone. Cycling could cause the
motor to heat beyond the recommended maximum temperature, and reduce the
operational life of the pump and pressure-sensing switch.
Important return safety instructions -
When returning your pump for warranty or repair, you must always do the following:
y
Contact factory for RMA number.
y
Flush chemical residue from the pump (best done in the field).
y
Tag pump with type of chemicals having been sprayed.
y
Include complete description of operation problem, such as how pump was used, symptoms of
malfunction, etc. Since pumps can contain residues of toxic chemicals these steps are
necessary to protect all the people who handle return shipments, and to help pinpoint the
reason for the breakdown.
