Periodic maintenance and inspection is required on all pumps to insure proper operation. Unit must be clear of debris and sediment. Inspect for leaks and loose bolts. Failure to do so voids warranty.

3 Inch Self-Priming Centrifugal Pumps

Refer to form 1808-634-00 for General Operating and Safety Instructions.

Description

These centrifugal pumps are self-priming (to 20 ft. lift) units designed for high volume liquid transfer – irrigation, de-watering, lawn sprinkling, etc. They can also accommodate semi-solids (up to 1/2" dia.), sediment laden liquids, and liquids with entrained air or gases. Casing working pressure to 100 psi (689 kPa).

The units are equipped with a cast iron pump casing designed with a full dual volute, clog resistant semi-open stainless steel/bronze impeller, and a cast iron adapter. Units are equipped with flapper valves to assure a positive prime. A mechanical seal isolates the motor from the liquid in the pump casing. The units are coupled to 3600 RPM, totally enclosed fan cooled motors. All units are manual models, no controls are supplied. For use with nonflammable, non-abrasive liquids compatible with pump component materials.

Maintenance

Make certain that unit is disconnected from power source before attempting to service or remove any component.

NOTE: Pump casing should be removed and inspected periodically to insure that any foreign material or rust is not clogging internal pump parts. This unit is equipped with a dual volute pump casing. One of the volutes runs 180°, all the way from side opposite discharge into discharge through a completely enclosed passageway. If foreign material clogs this area, it can be dislodged by using a wire or long spring.

REMOVAL OF OLD SEAL

Refer to Figure 1

IMPORTANT: Always replace both seal seat (Ref. No. 10) and seal head (Ref. No. 11) to insure proper mating of components! Also, impeller seal washer (Ref. No. 14) should be replaced anytime impeller lock bolt (Ref. No. 15) has been removed.

1.Remove four bolts (Ref. No. 4) that connect adapter (Ref. No. 7) to casing (Ref. No. 16).

2.Remove casing and casing seal (Ref. No. 8).

Care should be taken not to "pinch" or "shave" the o-ring gasket (Ref. No. 8) between adapter and casing.

3.Using an Allen wrench, remove impeller lock bolt, impeller seal washer, and impeller (Ref. No. 13).

IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to insure that same number of shim washers (Ref. No. 12) are replaced behind impeller as were removed. These shim washers are located directly behind impeller. These washers as well as impeller key (Ref. No. 2) become loose as impeller is removed.

4.Seal head and shaft sleeve can now be pulled from shaft.

5.Pry seal seat from adapter.

6.Push seal head from shaft sleeve.

INSTALLATION OF NEW SEAL

The precision lapped faces on mechanical seal are easily damaged. Handle your replacement seal carefully.

1.Thoroughly clean all surfaces of seal seat cavity.

2.Using a clean cloth, wipe shaft and shaft sleeve and make certain that they are perfectly clean.

3.Wet the rubber portion of new seal seat with a light coating of soapy water. While wearing clean gloves or using a clean light rag, press seal seat squarely into adapter recess. Avoid scratching polished surface. If seal will not position properly, place a cardboard washer over polished surface and use a piece of pipe to press in, firmly but gently.

8.A short "run-in" period may be necessary to provide completely leak free seal operation.

SHIM ADJUSTMENT

When installing a replacement impeller (Ref. No. 13) or motor (Ref. No. 1), it may be necessary to adjust the number of shims (Ref. No. 12) to insure proper running clearance between impeller and casing (Ref. No. 16). Proceed as follows:

NOTE: A proper running clearance is less than 0.010".
