SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest
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, Inc. 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, file 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 efficient
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.
Pump should be stored in its original shipping container and
on initial start up, rotate impeller by hand to assure seal and
impeller rotate freely.

SECTION C: INSTALLATION:
C-1) Location:
The pump should be located as near as possible to the liquid
to be pumped and in no case should the pump be more than
25 feet above the surface of the liquid supply. The pump
should always be as level as possible.
All pump units rotate clockwise when looking from the driven
end of the pump. The impellers are threaded on the shaft
and it is necessary to slide one half of the flexible coupling
back when checking rotation in order to eliminate the
possibility of unscrewing the impeller and damaging the
pump.
NOTE:
Where impellers thread on pump shaft, never check
the direction of electric motor rotation without first
disconnecting flexible coupling.
Locate the pump on a firm footing to make sure the pump
will not move due to vibration. Flex coupled and V-belt driven
units should be permanently grouted onto a cement
foundation. The pumps should be level to provide favorable
operating conditions. In addition, the flexible coupling should
be realigned after grouting in order to eliminate excessive
wear on the coupling.
Allow a minimum of 18 inches in front of the pump case cover
or hatch cover to permit easy removal and access to the
interior of the pump. On belt driven units, allow a minimum
of 10 inches at the shaft end to permit easy removal of the
pedastal or rotating cartridge.
C-2) Suction System:
It is advisable to use a suction line of the same size as the
pump port size. All horizontal suction lines should slope up
to the pump to avoid trapped air pockets. An adjustable
stand, pipe clamp or floor flange must be installed to support
the weight of the suction line. Using a smaller suction line
than the pump port size can cause internal damage to the
pump.
The suction line must not have holes, even small holes. The
smallest air leak in the suction line may prevent the pump
from priming. Coat all threaded connections in the suction
line with pipe thread compound to insure an air tight joint. In
addition, suction flanges should be pulled up tight to prevent
air leaks.
CAUTION! - This pump should not be operated
without a strainer on the end of the suction line
to prevent sticks. stones, rags and other foreign matter
from being drawn into the impeller. The strainer should
be cleaned regularly to insure full flow.
C-3) Discharge System:
Connect discharge hose or pipe to the side outlet on the
discharge tee or to the discharge elbow.
