Control Systems
• All pump systems with electric, hydraulic power sources and gas engines are required to have a control system which
meets all local and national standards.
• Overload and short-circuit protection devices should open at a current that is 10% higher than the normal load current.
• For more detail on a typical system installation, see preceding subsections of the “Assembly and Installation” section
of this manual.
Direct Drive - Hollow Shaft Installation
Hollow shaft models mount directly on the motor or
engine shaft. After mounting the pump, always turn
it by hand to make sure the pump is operating freely.
Never apply power to a pump that appears to be stuck.
CAUTION: Use a torque arm to keep the pump
from rotating with the shaft. The pump must be
allowed to float on the shaft and must not be tied
rigidly to the equipment on which it is mounted.
CAUTION:
For safety, always install a shield
over rotating shafts. Or enclose
the pump/motor assembly inside
a housing.
