Standard Pump Operating Instructions and Parts Manual (OIPMS0611)
Assembly
1
. Remove the pump and motor from packaging.
2 . Inspect all contents for damage .
3. Couple the motor to the pump tube by using the Hex Nut
(see Figure 1) .
4. First pump clean water in order to familiarize yourself with
the pump’s operation, flow rate, discharge pressure and
motor speed .
5. It is recommended to thoroughly clean and sanitize models
SP-8800 & SP-8900 before operation.
Do not use these pumps for the transfer of
flammable or combustible products or in an
environment where flammable or combustible fumes are present
unless used in conjunction with an Explosion Proof Motor or
SP-A1FP / SP-A2 Series air motor. Please contact the factory or
authorized distributor with any questions regarding this matter
(see page 24).
General Operation Guide (SP-8800 & SP-8900)
1
. Use closed top drum or other cover to avoid possible
contamination .
2. Once the pump is fully cleaned, assembled and all
connections are securely fastened, insert the pump into the
drum or tank .
3. It is recommended to attach a suitable hose or pipe to the
pump discharge.
4. If you opt to use a hose, fasten the hose to the hose
barb with a suitable hose clamp that exceeds the pump
discharge pressure.
Make sure the hose meets the pump
discharge pressure requirements (SP-8800
= 16 psi (1,1 bar)) / (SP-8900 = 32 psi (2,2 bar). It is
recommended to use a hose that is rated 4 x the pump
discharge pressure. Ex: 32 x 4 = 128 psi (9 bar).
5. Turn the motor to the “ON” position.
6. After use, clean the pump and store vertically.
Disassembly / Cleaning Procedures
(SP-8800 & SP-8900)
1. In order to clean a majority of the residue from the pump
tube, immerse the pump into a 55 Gallon Drum of water
or a non-flammable, food safe cleaning agent. Allow the
pump to circulate the water for 3 minutes.
2. For a more thorough cleaning remove the motor from the
pump tube by loosening the connection nut (P/N: 8842)
(see Figure 2) .

Note:
Flow rates are based on water. As viscosity increases, the flow
rate will decrease .
