SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the fi nest
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 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, fi le 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 effi cient
performance following long 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.
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.

SECTION C: PREPARE PUMP FOR OPERATION:
1. See Engine Manufacturer’s instruction manual for
quantity, grade and viscosity of oil and change interval.
Fill engine crankcase with amount needed. and check oil
level frequent. Fill fuel tank per manufacturer,s
recommendations. Be familiar with engine START UP
and SHUT DOWN procedures before operation.
Operate engine in accordance with the manufactures
instructions.
2. Check oil level in the pump transmission. If it is not up to
the oil level plug in the cover, top off with an
SAE 80 - 90 EP gear lube. Transmission oil capacity is
20 oz. (550 ml).
3. For best performance locate pump as close to water as
possible. Vertical suction lift should not exceed
25 ft. (7.6M) At high lifts, 15 ft. (4.5M) and up, a foot
valve is recommended. When using suction hose, make
sure the gasket in the female fi tting at the pump end is in
place and in good condition. When using pipe, coat the
threads with a thread sealing compound.
Suction hose must be in good condition with no leaks and
lining tight. A loose lining will collapse under suction and
keep liquid from being drawn into pump. A coarse straine
at end of suction hose is advisable if there is a possibility
of pumping large, hard, unbreakable solids, such as,
rocks, wood, tin cans, etc., that could be caught between
connecting rod and water box, causing pump damage.
4. To lead water away, connect non-collapsible suction hose
to the discharge connection. Discharge hose should not
be smaller than suction hose and not kinked. It is helpful
to use a short piece of hose at any time, with open end
raised a foot or so above discharge connection. Discharge
head should never exceed 25 ft. (7.6M).
5. On high lifts, or if pump has been idle and valves are dry,
pour water into the discharge opening to help seal valves
and speed up priming.
6. Pump speed can be regulated with throttle control on
engine from full volume, 65 strokes, to about 40 strokes
for lesser volume and seepage. By regulating pump
speed to suction and discharge conditions, the intermittent
up and down movements of the liquid columns in the
suction and discharge hoses can be timed so they will
assist each other and smooth out the pump operation,
rather than act in opposition. Smoothest operation can be
determined by trying pump at several speeds.
7. Drain pump in freezing weather by removing drain plugs.
SECTION D: MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep interior of pump and valves clean. When
pumping liquids containing foreign materials, fl ush
out pump with clear water whenever possible.
2. Keep suction hose air tight and check for leaks and
loose lining, as these are major trouble sources
when
priming.
3. Valves and valve weights must be straight, seat well
and have no cracks.
4. The capacity of a diaphragm pump will vary greatly
depending on the height of the suction lift and length of
discharge line. A discharge line which is too small, long
or high will cause:
A. Excessive bulging of diaphragm on down stroke.
B. Valves closing with loud snap.
C. Rough operation.
D. Engine overloads and slows down.
E. Reduced capacity.
5. Check all bolts frequently and keep them drawn
up
tightly.
