Assembly and Installation
1 Contact your chemical or fluid supplier to check for compatibility with pump prior to
installation and operation.
2 Screw discharge spout into pump body outlet using Teflon tape provided or equivalent
sealant tape. Do not use paste pipe sealant.
3 Slide handle over handle shaft and assemble to crank arm using the hex nut supplied.
Attach entire crank arm subassembly, including handle, handle shaft, and hex nut, onto
pump shaft taking care to align setscrew to indent in rotor shaft.
4 Thread suction tube into pump inlet. Thread suction tube into suction tube. Thread tail
pipe onto suction tube section. Use Teflon tape provided or equivalent sealant tape to
seal suction tube threaded connections. Do not use paste pipe sealant.
5 Thread bung adapter into drum.
6 Insert pump and suction tube assembly into bung adapter and hand-tighten bung
adapter setscrew. Be sure to set pump and suction tube assembly so that the suction
tube is at the desired depth in the barrel and is not blocked.
Operation
1 To begin pumping fluid, rotate handle clockwise several times making complete
revolutions until fluid begins to flow. Several revolutions will be made with no fluid
dispensed as pump needs to prime. Once primed, fluid flow begins as handle is
rotated.
2 For siphoning or draining fluid back into barrel, place handle in the straight down
position.
3 To stop siphoning and maintain suction or prime, leave handle in horizontal position.
Maintenance
Regularly check pump and suction tubes for leaks. Leaks in the suction line or in pump housing
will cause inefficient pumping and loss of prime.
