APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Application assistance and technical
information can be obtained by calling
MP PUMPS at 800-563-8006.

The HTO pump is designed for pumping high
temperature fluids that are non-corrosive,
non-volatile and have good lubricating qualities.

INSTALLATION AND START-UP

INSTALLATION

1. The pump must be installed in a horizontal shaft
position.

2. The housing may be rotated to a horizontal or
vertical discharge to fit the particular piping
installation.

3. Rigid and supported piping must be used that
will not strain the pump housing when
temperature changes are made during the use
of the pump.

4. The piping system must be free of foreign
material and moisture before start-up.

5. Pipe thread sealing compound must be used on
the NPT flanges that is compatible with the fluid
being pumped and is rated for the temperature
requirements.

The installation should permit adequate

circulation of air to provide proper cooling of the
motor and pump seal housing.

7. Do not install in a sealed enclosure or insulate
the pump adapter and motor. The motor and/or
pump seal may fail from excessive heat.

The primary application for use is with heat
transfer oils.

It is the users' responsibility to determine the
pump and product compatibility with the materials
of construction.

START-UP

1. Follow all requirements and recommendations
from the heat transfer fluid manufacturer for fill,
start-up and use.

2. Check for leaks before insulating the piping
system.

3. Check for proper shaft rotation by jogging the
power and observing the fan clamp. Rotation
arrows are provided on pump housing.

4. The seal cavity inside the pump will internally
vent during fill and start-up.

5. A small amount of oil may leak from the seal
cavity at the shaft; this is normal for a new
installation and will stop after approximately one
hour.

6. Do not allow the pump to run dry, or continue to
operate the pump when it is noisy
leaks are observed. These noticeable signs give
a warning that something is wrong with the
equipment and must be investigated to avoid
possible damage or injury from burns caused by
hot oil.

, vibrating, or

8. A good installation will have an enclosure that
provides adequate air flow of ambient air to the
motor of the pump.
