Safety
1. Introduction
This manual contains all the information needed for the correct installation, use and maintenance of your new Finish Thompson
pump. It should be read and understood by all the personnel involved in installation, operating and servicing of the pump before
it is started.
2. Operator Qualification and Training
The personnel in charge of the installation, the operation, and the maintenance of the pump must be qualified and able to per form the operations described in this manual. Finish Thompson, Inc. shall not be held responsible for the training level of
personnel and for the fact that they are not fully aware of the contents of this manual.
3. Safety Instructions
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
BEFORE using or servicing your pump, please make sure to wear the proper clothing, eye protection and follow standard safety
procedures when handling corrosive or personally harmful materials.
GENERAL DANGER
ALWAYS use a stainless steel pump tube with an explosion proof electric motor or air motor and static protection kit with
grounded discharge hose when pumping or mixing flammable or combustible material.
ALWAYS use and store the pump and motor in an upright position.
DANGER: POWER SUPPLY
Refer to instructions in the appropriate motor Operation & Installation Manual.

Installation & Maintenance Instructions
Installation
1. Remove the drum pump and motor from its packaging and inspect for shipping damage.
2. Turn the pump coupling to verify there is no binding.
3. Adjust the coupling so that the empty slots in the insert are at 3 and 9 o’clock with the pump discharge at 12
o’clock.
4. Install the motor according to instructions in the appropriate motor manual.
5. Attach discharge hose and install pump into the container.
Maintenance
Disassembly
1. Loosen the setscrew and remove the coupling half (item 2) from the end of the pump shaft.
2. Carefully holding the intake tube (so as not to crush the tube), use a 3/8” punch and hammer to drive the
bottom of the pump shaft (item 10) up through the intake tube (item 7) until the bearing assembly (item 3) is
completely exposed.
3. Use a 1/8” punch to remove the roll pin that holds the bearing assembly (item 3) onto the pump shaft, and
remove the bearing assembly.
4. Remove the setscrew (item 13) from the bottom of the intake tube and remove the bottom bearing (item 12).
5. Now drive the shaft assembly back down through the intake tube and remove it from the bottom. Remove
and discard the seal assembly (item 4) from the top of the pump head.
Inspection
1. Inspect the bottom bearing for damage or wear (if ID is .400 or larger) and replace as needed.
2. Visually inspect the compressors (item 8) for damage or wear and replace as needed.
3. Visually inspect the pump shaft for wear in the bottom bearing area and in the seal assembly area. Replace
as needed.
4. Inspect the bearing assembly for rust, corrosion, or tightness and replace as needed.
5
Reassembly
1. Insert the shaft assembly up through the bottom of the intake tube (item 7) until the end of the shaft sticks
out above the top of the pump head.
2. Warm up the seal assembly (item 4) prior to installation by using a heat lamp or soaking them in hot water.
This will aid in the ease of proper seal installation. Make sure there are no metal burrs on the pump shaft in
the bearing hole location or the coupling half setscrew location that could “cut” the seal during installation.
3. Lubricate the end of the shaft with Vaseline to aid in the seal installation. Carefully install the seal down
over the shaft with the two “slots” facing up toward the bearing assembly. The raised lip in the center of the
seal (that faces the bottom of the pump) must go on straight and not buckle on one side.
4. After the seal is on the shaft correctly, install the bearing assembly (item 3) onto the shaft. Use the bearing
assembly to push the seal further down the shaft until the hole in the center of the bearing assembly matches
up to the hole in the shaft. Install the roll pin through the bearing assembly and shaft.
5. Carefully press on the shaft end to slide the bearing assembly into the pump head. Use a block of wood and
a mallet if needed to drive the assembly into the pump head. Be careful not to mushroom the shaft head or
the coupling half will not go on.
6. Install the coupling half (item 2) on the end of the shaft and tighten the setscrew into the dimple on the shaft.
Make sure the setscrew bottoms out in the dimple.
7. Reinstall the bottom bearing (item 12), and tighten the setscrew that holds it in place.
8. Turn the pump coupling to insure there is no binding.
