Pump installation
Verify a relief valve is installed in the
pump outlet to insure pump pressure
remains below 5,000 psi
(345 bar)
. Use
only high pressure components. Failure
to comply may result in serious personal
injury.
W A R N I N G
Pressure switch adjustment
The pressure switch is factory set at
5,800 psi
(400 bar)
. Pump life will be
increased by maintaining a lower pump shut
off pressure. It is recommended that the
pressure be set no higher than the
application requires.
The pump should be wired using 12 AWG
(3,5 mm
2
)
wire capable of carrying 20 A at
24 V DC.
A separate fuse should be wired between
the pump and power supply on the positive
side of the circuit.
1
Mount the hose reel and pump in the
desired location.
!
Notice
Never allow pump to run dry of
lubricant. A dry pump quickly speeds up,
creating friction heat and can damage
seals. Monitor supply lubricant level and
refill when necessary.
Failure to comply may result in
damage to equipment.
Pumps are not equipped with a high
pressure shut off valve. Do not exceed
maximum rated outlet pressure. Failure
to comply may result in personal injury
and/or damage to equipment.

!
Notice
Pump motor is polarity sensitive
and will not run if connected incorrectly.
!
Notice
Refer to the FlowMasterII pump
service sheet for information on the
pump. Refer to
parts list
on
page 13
.
!
Notice
If optional pressure gauge is used,
install in manifold by removing plug and
screwing gauge into manifold port. Use
a teflon based thread sealant on fitting
threads to ensure proper sealing.
!
Notice
If the optional pressure gauge is
not used, install a temporary
gauge in the provided manifold port
until the switch is reset.
Do not exceed a shutoff pressure of
6,000 psi
(414 bar)
. Failure to comply
may result in damage to equipment.
1
Loosen adjustment stem locknut (
27
)
Refer to
figure IPB 1
.
2
Using a
5
/
16
hex head wrench, turn the
adjustment spring cap (
28
) clockwise to
increase (or counterclockwise to
decrease) the pump shut-off pressure.
3
Turn the stem
1
/
8
of a turn at a time,
checking the setting by releasing the
pressure and allowing it to build again.
4
While holding the adjustment stem with
a
5
/
16
hex head wrench, tighten the
locknut.
5
Check the setting once more to ensure
the adjustment stem did not move when
the locknut was tightened.
2
Connect the pump outlet from the
manifold to the hose reel inlet using the
supplied hose and fittings. Use a teflon
based thread sealant on fitting threads to
ensure proper sealing.
3
With the pump in a full container of
lubricant, energize the pump.
4
Purge air from the pump.
5
Verify lubricant is flowing evenly from
the pump.
6
Stop the pump.
7
Attach the pump outlet line to the outlet
port (
55
).
