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.

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
frequently. Fill fuel tank per manufacture’s
recommendations. Be familiar with engine START UP
and SHUT DOWN procedures before operation. Operate
engine in accordance with the manufacture’s 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 lub. Transmission oil capacity is
20 oz. (550ml).
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 fitting at the pump end is in place and
in good shape. When using pipe, a short piece of hose
should be used between pump and pipe to assist in
eliminating a "hammer" action. 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 strainer 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 nipple in 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. This
retains water to seal the discharge valve and improves
capacity and operation. Discharge head should never
exceed 25 ft. (7.6M).
5. On high lifts, or if pump has been idle and valves are dry,
remove cap on suction chamber and pour water into pump.
This will seal valves and speed up priming. Replace cover
securely to keep air from leaking into suction line.
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 tipping unit toward
discharge side with hoses disconnected.
