tight and secure.
• Periodically inspect the pump and the system
components. Perform routine maintenance as
required (see Maintenance section).
• Protect pump from freezing conditions by draining
liquid and pumping rust inhibiting solution, such as
antifreeze, through the system, coating the pump
interior.
• Use only pipe, hose and fittings rated for the maximum
(or greater) PSI rating of the pump.
• Do not use these pumps for pumping water or
other liquids for human or animal consumption.
Drive Source Installation
This manual will cover the installation of the basic drive
configurations available for the Hypro Small Twin
Piston and Plunger pumps. Consult the manufacturer
of your motor or engine for additional information.
Read all instructions and general safety information
before attempting to install or operate the pump.
Belt/Pulley Drive Installation
Mounting Belts and Pulleys
Mount pulleys as close to pump and motor engine shaft
bearings as possible. Check alignment with a straight
edge as shown (See Figure 1). Make sure that belt has
proper tension. (Too much tension will cause bearing
wear; too little will cause slippage.) (See Figure 2). Check
with belt and pulley sources for specific recommendation.
To figure proper diameter of pump pulley, multiply
motor/engine RPM by diameter of the motor/engine pulley
and divide that figure by desired pump speed.
Pump = Motor RPM x Motor Pulley Size
Pulley Size Desired Pump Speed
Refer to pump performance charts to determine desired
speed to obtain desired maximum flow.
NOTE: Shaft rotation can be either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Push the belt midway
between the
pulleys, check the
deflection (d) and
adjust:
d = 0.016 x L
Four points of
contact indicate
alignment.
NOTE: Pump may
be mounted in other
orientations with
respect to the motor
or engine.
