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.

NEVER use in pressurized containers.

ALWAYS store unit upright, i.e. motor above pump, and away from corrosive liquids and vapors.

DANGER: POWER SUPPLY

Refer to instructions for the appropriate motor in the Operation & Installation Manual - Drum Pump Motors.

4. Noise Level

Refer to specifications in the Operation & Installation Manual - Drum Pump Motors.

5. Modifications and Spare Parts

Any changes concerning the service of the pump as originally purchased can be executed only after written approval from
Finish Thompson Inc. It is recommended to use only genuine Finish Thompson Inc. spare parts and approved accessories. The
use of non-original spare parts or non-approved accessories will void warranty and removes any responsibility on the manufac­ turer’s behalf for any damage caused to people or things.

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. Verify the housing cover (item 16) is on tight (it has
a left hand thread.

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 1” i.d. discharge hose and secure with hose clamp.

6. Install into the container.

Maintenance

Disassembly

1. Remove the housing cover (item 16) by turning it clockwise (left hand thread) while gripping the impeller
housing (item 13).

2. Turn the impeller until a hole in the shaft can be seen through the square slot in the impeller housing (item

13), and insert 3/32 pin into the hole. Holding the pin, turn the impeller (item 15) counterclockwise (right-
hand thread) and remove it.

3. Remove the impeller housing (item 13) by gripping the intake tube and turning the housing clockwise
(left hand thread).

4. Place a wooden board or rubber mat on the floor (to protect the threads on the bottom of the shaft) and
gently tap the shaft (item 14) on it until the inner tube (item 9), shaft sleeve (item 10), and bottom bearing
(item 3) drops out. Continue to tap the shaft until both bearings (item 3) are exposed at the top of the pump.

5. Pull the bearings and shaft out through the top of the pump.

Inspection

1. Check the housing cover (item 16), the impeller (item 15), and the impeller housing (item 13) for wear, rub­bing, or damage from foreign objects. Replace if damaged.

Note: The double impeller design of this pump is dependant on the impeller working correctly. Any damage
to the impeller can cause pump failure.

2. Inspect the pump shaft (item 14) for wear in the bearing (item 11) and the lip seal (item 4) areas. Replace
the shaft if needed.

3. Inspect the bottom bearing (item 11) for internal wear. Inspect all o-rings (items 8 &12) for nicks or chemi­cal attack. Replace as needed.

4. Inspect the bearing assembly (item 3) for rust or corrosion.

5. If the bearing assembly needs to be replaced, unthread it from the shaft. Insert 3/32” pin into the hole at
the bottom and hold the bearing assembly by the half coupling. Turn the shaft counterclockwise (right
hand thread) to loosen and remove. If corroded, then a penetrating fluid may be used on the threads to help
loosen.

Note: Never reuse the lip seal.

4

Reassembly

1. Install new lip seal (item 4) into the pump head with the grooved side facing the bottom of the pump.

2. If bearing assembly is replaced -- thread the shaft (item 14) into the bearing assembly (item 3) with the 3/32

hole in the shaft on the other end. Carefully insert the shaft straight through the lip seal (to avoid seal dam­age) from the top and seat the bearing assembly (item 3) into the pump head.

3. If o-rings are replaced -- install 2 inner tube o-rings (item 8) in the grooves. Install the impeller housing o-

ring (item 12) inside the top of the housing. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to the o-rings to aid in assem­bly.

4. With the pump on a bench, slide shaft liner (item 10) into the inner tube (item 9) assembly onto the shaft

until it stops. Slide the shaft liner/inner tube/shaft assembly into the outer tube (item 7) using the shaft (item

14) as a guide.

5. Slide the impeller housing over the shaft, center the bottom of the lower inner tube into the counter bore in

the top of the impeller housing, and push / thread into the intake tube bottom (left hand thread).

6. Gripping the coupling at the top of the pump, thread the impeller on (right hand thread). Install the housing

cover (left hand thread). turn the coupling to verify there is no binding inside the pump.
