† Example: If PB0508A031 pump is connected to supply line of sufficient capacity, carrying water at 40 PSI, and the output of the pump is held to 7.3 GPM by a
gate valve, the pump will add 40 PSI to line pressure for a total output pressure of 80 PSI.
* Operation of pump in this range may result in reduced pump life and/or motor damage.
To keep pump and seal lubricated, a minimum flow of 1.5 GPM must always be maintained through the pump.
Motor voltage: Single Phase 1/3 - 2 HP - 115/230; 3 HP - 230V 60 Hz.
Three Phase 1/2 - 2 HP - 208-230/460, 50/60Hz.

5.Specific Wiring Procedure (Refer to Figures 9, 10, & 11
and Minimum Wire Size Chart).
a. Select the voltage you are to use, either 115V or 230V
single phase, 230V or 460V three phase.
b. The 1/3, 1/2 and 3/4 HP single phase pumps are factory
connected for 115V at the motor. The 1, 1
HP pumps are factory connected for 230V at the motor.
Three phase models are factory connected for 230V at
the motor.
c. If the motor wiring must be changed to conform to your
specific voltage requirements then the motor, pressure
switch or other controls should be rewired to conform
to one of the wiring diagrams (either 115V or 230V,
single phase; 230V or 460V, three phase). Single phase 3
HP motors are 230V only and cannot be wired for 115V
service.
d. The motor wiring diagrams are Figures 9, 10, & 11 and
also are located on the motor label of the pump.

or operating pump. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury.
Replace rear access cover before starting
IMPORTANT: Do not use an extension cord or splice wires.
Joints should be made in an approved junction box. If the
above information or the following wiring diagrams are confusing, consult a licensed electrician.
8. All units are not supplied with pressure switches, float
devices, on/off switches, or the like (control devices).
Controls should be wired in at this time, utilizing whatever
instructions come with the controls. All units supplied
with cords, will run whenever cord is plugged into power
and will turn off whenever cord is disconnected from
power.
MOTOR PROTECTION
All single phase motors have built in thermal protection for
all voltages. The overload protects the motor against burnout from overload of low voltage, high voltage and other
causes. The device is automatic and resets itself once the
temperature has dropped to a safe point. Frequent tripping
of the device indicates trouble in the motor or power lines
and immediate attention is needed.
!
touch the motor before disconnecting the main electrical
supply switch. The thermal device may have opened the
electrical circuit.
Never examine, make wiring changes or
Three phase motors do not have a built in thermal protection. It is recommended that a properly sized magnetic or
manual starter (both with properly sized heaters) be used
with all three phase motors. Install starters following instructions of the starter manufacturer. See Motor Rotation under
Operation Section for changing rotation on three phase
motors.
All motors (single and three phase) should be equipped
with a correctly fused disconnect switch to provide protection. Consult local or United States National Electric Codes

Operation
ing. Do not run dry, or against a closed discharge. Do not
pump dirty water or abrasive liquids. To do so will cause
pump failure and will void the warranty.
VALVES
The inlet valve should be in the full open position and the
discharge valve should be partially open, permitting some
back pressure to be exerted against the pump when starting
up. Open valve after start up is completed.
PRIMING
NOTE: Before starting the pump it is absolutely necessary that both the pump and the inlet pipe be completely
filled with water.
PRESSURE BOOST INSTALLATIONS
Priming is automatic when pump is connected to a pressure
source such as a hydrant or city main (See Figures 6, 7 & 8).
1. Open valves or nozzle on inlet and discharge side of pump.
2. To relieve trapped air, allow water supply to run a minimum of 30 seconds before starting the pump.
IMPORTANT: An adequate flow of water going into the
pump is required so that the pumps impellers and shaft seal
do not run dry and fail.
3. If you installed a pressure gauge at the pump inlet, a reading of 2 psi minimum should show whenever the pump is
in operation (See Figures 6, 7 & 8).
This reading insures that there is an ample supply of water
into the pump inlet housing.
Unit must be full of fluid before operat-

Operation (Continued)
MOTOR/PUMP ROTATION
1. Single phase models are one (1) rotation only (counterclockwise when facing the pump end) and cannot be
reversed.
2. Proper rotation of pump impeller is critical for three phase
pumps. Pump motor should turn counterclockwise (CCW)
when facing pump end. Momentarily “bump” (apply
power for less than a second) the motor to check for
proper rotation. To change rotation on three phase units,
interchange any two (2) incoming line (power) leads.
Do not go over recommended maximum
operating pressure (see Specifications), while maintaining
minimum flow of 1.5 GPM thru the pump. Do not restrict
the inlet line to the pump.
If driver (electric motor) is overloaded, a valve can be
installed in the discharge line to increase the back pressure
and reduce driver loading.
START - UP PROCEDURE
Once the preceding instructions have been completed, the
pump can be started.
1. During the first few hours of operation, inspect the pump,
piping and any auxiliary equipment used in connection
with the unit.
2. Check for leaks, excessive vibration or unusual noises.
Disconnect power supply and depressurize system before servicing pump or removing any component.
ROUTINE
Pump should be checked routinely for proper operation.
Replace or clean all filters and line strainers on a regular
basis.
DRAINING
This pump cannot be completely drained because of internal
design. Most of the liquid can be drained by tilting the discharge forward after removing discharge casting; or, the liquid can be drained through the inlet port. Store in heated
areas.
CLEANING
If used for spraying insecticides, pump should be thoroughly
flushed with clean water after using.
LUBRICATION
The motor has prelubricated bearings. No lubrication is
required.
SERVICING THREE-PHASE UNITS
Loctite (thread sealer) is used on the threads between the
motor shaft and the pump shaft coupling. When reassem-
bling, reapply thread sealer.
PUMP DISASSEMBLY
To disassemble the pump, refer to the exploded parts view,
Figures 17 & 18 Tools Required
• Block of wood (2” x 4” x 12”)
Piece of 3/4” pipe (12” to 24” long)
• Pipe wrench
• Strap wrench
• 1/4” Dowel rod (about 24” long)
• 9/16” Open end wrench
• 3/8” Open end wrench
1. To stabilize pump during disassembly, place block of wood
underneath pump barrel.
2. Thread pipe into pump inlet port. This acts as a handle.
3. Using the pipe wrench, remove the discharge head, turning CCW (counter clockwise).
4. With the strap wrench, loosen the barrel, turning CCW
(counter clockwise). DO NOT use pipe wrench on pump
barrel.
5. Holding the impeller stack in place, position pump in
upright position, standing unit on the motor end cover.
6. Use the 1/4” dowel rod to hold the stages down and in
place on the pump shaft. Remove pump barrel.
7. Slide the stages off the pump shaft onto the 1/4” dowel
rod. Leave stages on rod and carefully set aside.
NOTE: There may be some small .010” shim washers located
next to the pump shaft coupling. Keep these shims for reassembly.
8. Through the side opening of the mounting frame, hold
the motor shaft with 9/16” wrench. Remove the shaft and
coupling from the motor using the 3/8” wrench on the hex
shaped pump shaft.
NOTE: If the hex shaft comes free, leaving the coupling
attached to the motor, use vise grips to free the coupling.
MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT
1. Follow instructions under “Pump Disassembly”.
2. Remove the mechanical seal assembly.
a. The rotary portion of the seal assembly (carbon ring,
Buna-N gasket and spring will slide easily off the end of
shaft).
b. Using two (2) screwdrivers, pry the ceramic seal and rub-
ber gasket from the recess of the mounting ring (See
Figure 14).
The precision lapped faces of the mechanical seal are easily damaged. Handle the replacement seal
carefully. Short seal life will result if seal faces (ceramic &
carbon) are nicked, scratched or dirty.
3. Clean the seal cavity of the mounting ring and the motor
thoroughly.
4. Wet outer edge of rubber cup on ceramic seat with liquid
soap solution. Use sparingly (one drop only).
FLINT & WALLING, INC. • 95 North Oak St. • Kendallville, IN 46755 • www.flintandwalling.com

Maintenance (Continued)
NOTE: Liquid soap solution - one drop of liquid soap com-
bined with one teaspoonful of water.
5. With thumb pressure, press ceramic seal half firmly and
squarely into seal cavity. Polished face of ceramic seat
is up. If seal will not seat correctly, remove, placing seal
face up on bench. Reclean cavity. Seal should now seat
correctly (See Figure 14).
6. If seal does not seat correctly after recleaning cavity,
place a cardboard washer over polished seal face and
carefully press into place using a piece of standard clean
3/4” pipe as a press (See Figure 15).
IMPORTANT: Do not scratch seal face.
7. Dispose of cardboard washer and recheck seal face to
be sure it is free of dirt, foreign particles, scratches and
grease.
8. Inspect shaft to be sure it is free of nicks and scratches.
9. Apply liquid soap solution sparingly (one drop is sufficient) to inside diameter of rubber rotating member.
10. Slide rotating seal member (carbon face down toward
ceramic face) and spring over the shaft.
IMPORTANT: Do not nick or scratch carbon face of seal
when handling.
MOTOR REPLACEMENT
The motor can be replaced with any standard Nema 56J jet
pump motor (of proper HP for each pump) by referring to
the following instructions.
1. Follow steps as outlined under Rotary Seal Replacement
and Pump Disassembly.
2. Remove cap screws that connect the motor to the
mounting ring and pull motor away.
3. Replace motor with standard Nema 56J jet pump motor
by positioning motor against the mounting frame and
assembling with four (4) cap screws.
IMPORTANT: Because damage to the shaft seal can occur in
disassembly, a new seal will be necessary.
PUMP REASSEMBLY
Before reassembling the pump, carefully inspect the component parts of the cartridge (stage) assembly, looking for
damage, wear or heat distortion. Pay careful attention to
spacing direction of components, and location of shims.
Refer to Figure 16 for proper facing and parts arrangement.
If damage to Stage components is evident, a complete cartridge assembly or individual stage assemblies are available
for replacement (See Replacement Parts List).
1. Reassembly should follow the reverse order of the disas-
sembly procedure with special care given to replacement
of the rotary seal.
2. Check top and bottom of o-rings for damage. It is recom-
mended that new o-rings be used.
3. Do not use pipe compound of Teflon tape on barrel
threads. The o-rings will prevent pump from leaking.
4. After pump is reassembled, tighten the discharge head to
a torque of 45-50 ft/lbs. If torque wrench is not available,
tighten firmly but avoid distortion or damage to plastic
internal parts.

Troubleshooting Chart
SymptomPossible Cause(s)Corrective Action
Pump won’t
start or run
at full speed
Pump operates, but
delivers little
or no water
1. Blown fuse or open circuit breaker1. Replace fuse or close circuit breaker. See wire size chart for
proper break/fuse size
2. Power supply in OFF position2. Turn power on
3. Incorrect voltage at motor (check volt-
age with motor running)
4. Loose, broken or incorrect wiring4. Rewire any incorrect circuits. Tighten connections, replace
5. Defective motor5. Replace motor
6. Pump hydraulic components clogged/
worn/damaged
1. Manual or solenoid valves plumbed
into system restricting flow
2. In-line filter restricting flow2. Check all in-line filters to be sure they are not plugged or
3. Low line voltage3. See low line voltage corrective action (above)
3. Low voltage
a. Voltage must be within ± 10% of motor rated voltage.
Check incoming voltage. Contact power company
b. Make certain that voltage of motor matches voltage of
power supply. See motor name plate and motor wiring
diagrams
c.Check wire size from main switch to pump. See wire
size chart for correct wire size
defective wires
6. Replace worn parts or entire pump. Clean parts if required
1. a Check all valves on pump inlet and discharge sides of
system to be sure they are opened properly to allow
flow to and from the pump
b. Bleed trapped air in pump which keeps water from
reaching the pump. (Normally
due to closed valve in discharge plumbing)
restricted
4. Inadequate water supply to booster
pump
5. Undersized piping5. Replace undersized piping
6. Leak on inlet side of system6. Make sure connections are tight. Repair leaks as necessary
7. Inadequate, defective or plugged foot
valve and/or strainer
8. Worn or defective pump parts or
pump.
9. Suction lift too great9. Pump should be operated under
10. Pump not primed10. Prime pump - Make certain inlet pipe is drawn up tight and
11. Incorrect rotation, motor running
backwards
Excessive
noise while
pump in
Pump leaks1. Worn mechanical seal (leaks at shaft)1. Replace shaft (rotary) seal
1. Pump not secured to firm foundation1. Secure properly
2. Piping not supported2. Make necessary adjustments
3. Restricted inlet line3. Clean or correct
4. Cavitation (noise like marbles in pump)4. a.Reduce speed on direct drive
5. Worn motor bearings5. Replace bearings or motor
2. Worn o-ring seals2. Replace o-ring seals, located inside both ends of the stainless
4. Check pressure on inlet side of booster to be sure positive
pressure is maintained to the booster pump
7. Clean, repair or replace as needed
8. Replace worn parts or entire plugged impeller Clean parts if
flooded suction only
pump and pipe are full of water
11. Reverse motor rotation can occur on three phase units. To
correct, interchange any two incoming power leads.
b. Increase inlet pipe size
c.Too viscous (material being pumped too thick
steel shell
