resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly
(see specifications chart). Protector tripping
is an indication of motor overloading as a
result of operating the pump at too high a
pressure (over 125 PSI), too high of viscosity,
too high of specific gravity, excessively high
or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect
motor connections, too small a motor (sized
incorrectly, not enough HP), or a defective
motor or pump.
Do not handle pump with wet hands
or when standing in water. Failure to
follow the General Safety Information
and all warnings could result in fatal
electrical shock!
It may be equipped
with an automatic
Assembly
(If pump and motor are
pre-assembled, skip assembly.)
If a pump head needs to be coupled to
an electric motor, then the following
procedure should be followed. (See
Figures 3 and 4.) First, install one of
the two coupling halves and key on
the pump shaft and tighten the set
screw. The shaft end should be even or
slightly recessed from the coupling half
(approximately 1/8”). The other
coupling half must be installed on the
motor shaft. To do this, it should be
placed on the shaft with the key,
with the shaft recessed approximately
1/2”. The set screw is not yet tight-
ened. It is necessary to establish a gap
between the coupling halves of
approximately .02” to .05” (See Figure
4). A thin piece of cardboard or a piece
of paper folded up will work fine to set
this gap. The pump is placed into position on the motor and the position of
the motor coupling half is established
using the piece of thin cardboard or
other gauge material. The motor
coupling half is tightened. The pump
is removed, the coupling spider (rubber
piece) is placed into position, and the
pump bolted to the motor using the
four bolts.

property damage and/or personal
injury can occur when the pump is
not operating due to power outages,
discharge line freezing, or any other
reason, a back-up system(s) and/or
warning system(s) should be used.
In order to safely use this product,
familiarize yourself with this pump and
also with the liquid (chemical, etc.)
that is going to be pumped through
the unit. This pump is not suitable for
many liquids.
1. Locate the pump as close to the
liquid source as possible, making
the suction line as short and direct
as possible.
PIPING
SUCTION
2. Avoid excessive lengths or number
of fittings and bends in the suction
line.
3. Attach suction line to suction inlet
(See Figure 1 for proper rotation).
4. It is recommended that same size
pipe as pump ports be used or, in
cases requiring lengthy piping, the
next larger size pipe be used.
5. If suction lift is greater than what is
indicated in the performance chart,
attach a foot valve below liquid
level at end of suction line to ensure
positive priming. Also note: If fluid
specific gravity is greater than 1.4 or
viscosity greater
than 500 SSU, a foot valve is also
recommended.
NOTE: If a foot valve (or check valve) is
not used in the suction line, it may be
necessary to refill the pump every time
the unit is stopped and you wish to restart
the pump. This depends on the length of
time between starts and whether or not
the gears are wet enough to close cavities
to affect a prime.
6. If solid contaminates are suspected
in a liquid, place a filter in the
suction line.
7. Be certain all suction piping connections are airtight.
NOTE: Assure airtight pipe connections
with the use of a pipe joint sealant.
DISCHARGE
8. Attach discharge piping to the
discharge outlet.
Support pump and
piping during assembly
and after installation.
Failure to do so may cause piping to break,
pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc., all
of which can result in property damage and/
or personal injury.
NOTE: Should the pump need to be
self-draining, the pump head should be
mounted in the vertical position with
the suction port facing down. When
pumping high viscosity fluids, the
vertical position can be used with the
suction port facing up and the pump
mounted under the source. Increasing
the suction pipe size and eliminating
bends and elbows also assists in pumping high viscosity fluids. Max. viscosity is
500 SSU at 1725 RPM.
9. If a shut-off valve or handgun is
required in discharge line, provide
a pressure relief valve for pump
protection.
Shutting off
discharge without
providing pressure
relief can cause extreme overpressure which
can result in pump and/or motor failure. Do
not exceed 125 PSI pump or system pressure.
10. Operation under shut-off discharge
conditions will overheat and
damage pump.
NOTE: Globe valve or other restrictive
valves should not be used as shut-off
mechanism as they are restrictive in
nature and will seriously affect pump
performance.
11. After all piping and controls (not
supplied with unit) have been
installed, unit is ready for operation.
Operation
Do not run pump
dry, as permanent
damage to the pump
gears, seal, and
bearings will result. Suction pressure should
never be greater than the discharge pressure.
1. All pumps must be primed before
start-up and the seal chamber needs
Remove plug and fill seal chamber
with fluid and reinstall plug
Figure 5 - Prime Plug
to be filled (See Figure 5). Never
operate a pump unless it is secured
to a solid foundation and all safety
shields are installed.
Upon start-up, maintain a minimum
of 15 PSI (1 BAR) operating pressure
on the pump. This will allow any
remaining air to be driven from the
seal chamber and will ensure liquid
circulation to the mechanical seal.
2. Gear pumps are built to very close
tolerances and this tolerance must
not be altered. The liquids must,
therefore, be free of all abrasives.
Sand, silt, wettable powders, etc.
must be avoided.
3. When pumping a more viscous
(beyond 500 SSU) liquid; a slower
speed, a larger pipe size pump,
and possibly a larger motor should
be selected.
Form L-4089 (2/17)
8
Page 9
SHURflo Operating Instructions, Performance,
Specifications and Parts Manual
4. Recheck motor and pump rotation.
Pump rotation is by-directional
(See Figure 1).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
5. Standard models do not include a
pressure relief valve. If discharge
is going to be shut off, an external pressure relief valve should be
installed.
GEAR PUMP GASKET ADJUSTMENT
FOR TEMPERATURE (See Appendix 1)
6. For operation in fluid temperatures
above 120° F, stainless steel pump
models must have the gasket thickness adjusted. Use Appendix 1 to
identify pump, temperature and
gasket recommendations for adjusting the cover clearance prior to
operation in elevated temperatures
or viscosities above 500 SSU.
Failure to adjust pump
cover clearances for
operating temperatures above 120° F. will result in severe
pump and/or motor damage.
NOTE: When pumping fluids of high
viscosity (>500 ssu), the required torque
and HP can be reduced by adding a
gasket for increased gear clearance.
MECHANICAL SEAL FLUSH
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
7. These stainless steel pumps are
equipped with mechanical seals and
have been designed with flush ports
because mechanical seals require
cooling lubrication for long life.
a. For fluids with viscosities less than
2000 SSU, a flush is not necessary,
but the seal cavity must be prefilled with either the operating
fluid or a neutral fluid. This is to
ensure seal cooling and lubrication
during start-up (See Figure 5).
Failure to provide
initial seal prime can
result in the mechanical seal overheating with resulting repair
costs.
b. For high viscosity fluids, a flush
will be necessary. The seal must
be cooled and lubricated by a
fluid. In the case of high viscosity
fluids, due to the precision clearances between the gear teeth and
the stainless steel body, highly
viscous fluids will not be able to
adequately relieve the air in the

seal cavity on start-up. The dry running of a mechanical seal
will cause rapid failure. A flush
must be provided for fluids with a
viscosity of greater than 2000 SSU.
Pumping fluids with
viscosities greater than
2000 SSU requires
flushing the seal chamber during operation,
otherwise seal damage
will occur.
EXTERNAL FLUSH
An external flush system is typically
recommended for applications where
crystallization build-up on the seal is
possible. Some dilution of the working
material must be acceptable to use an
external flush system.
The external flush system (See Figure
6 for typical installation) is commonly
used with liquids where city water can
be used as the neutral flush fluid. City
water is taken from an external source
such as a tap, hose, or special plumbing
fixture and is regulated into the seal
cavity by means of a needle valve and
flow meter. Use of an anti-siphon check
valve is required.
Operation (Continued)
It is essential that an
anti-siphon check
valve be installed
between the pump and the city water supply to prevent any back flow from possibly
contaminating the city water supply. Failure
to do so could result in contamination of the
water supply with consequential damages.
Manufacturer assumes no responsibility for
failure of user in not providing safeguards to
city water systems.
Step 1: Locate appropriate city water supply and install anti-siphon check valve.
Step 2: Use appropriate pipe nipple to
reduce piping to 1/8”.
Step 3: Install appropriate needle valve
and flow meter.
Step 4: Connect piping to one of three
available seal flush ports on pump.
Step 5: Adjust needle valve to achieve
desired flow to seal cavity (recommended 1 to 3 GPH).
INTERNAL FLUSH
Similar to above but internal supply
(See Figure 7 for typical installation).
Typically recommended for high viscosity applications ensuring lubrication to
the mechanical seal.
In an internal flush system, the fluid is
taken from the discharge and regulated from 1 to 3 GPH (Gallons Per Hour)
to the seal cavity by means of a flow
meter and needle valve.

Step 2: From this coupling, attach a
needle valve with appropriate nipple,
reducing to 1/8” pipe or tube. Install
appropriate flow meter.
Step 3: Connect 1/8” pipe or tube to
one of three available seal cavity flush
ports.
Step 4: Adjust needle valve to desired
flow into seal cavity (recommended
1 to 3 GPH).
For alternate flush
systems for hazardous
fluid applications, hot
liquid transfer, and those not addressed in
this booklet, consult a qualified fluid handling specialist for
assistance in specifying and installing flush
systems according to local, state and federal
environmental laws.
GEAR SPEED REDUCER OPTIONS
A gear reducer can be directly mounted
between a standard pump and motor
combination. Gear speed reducers are
available for applications with high
specific gravity, or when viscosities are
greater than 500 SSU, using a standard
1725 RPM motor (See Appendix 2). The
pump relationship between volume
(GPM), pressure (PSI), speed (RPM),
viscosity, specific gravity and horsepower is shown on performance chart in
Shurflo Motor Manual form L-4082.
8. Unit is ready for operation.
Maintenance
Make certain that the
power source is
disconnected before
attempting to service
or disassemble any components!
If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock
it in the open position and tag to prevent
application of power.
CLEANING
Clean the suction line filter at regular
intervals.
ELECTRIC MOTOR
Properly selected and installed, electric motors are capable of operating
for years with minimal maintenance.
Periodically clean dirt accumulations
from open-type motors, especially in
and around vent openings, preferably
by vacuuming (avoid imbedding dirt in
windings). Oil and maintain as recommended by motor manufacturer.
GENERAL
Check the pump to motor shaft coupler
alignment at regular intervals.
Periodically check that electrical connections are tight. Pump should be drained
if placed in an area that is subject to
freezing temperatures and should not
be operated until temperature permits.
To store the pump, place a small quan-
tity of light oil or some other storage
preservative compatible with your application in the pump and rotate the shaft
very slowly to work the oil throughout
the gears and the body.

REASSEMBLY
(Refer to Figure 13 for Reference
Numbers and Figures 3, 8, 9, 10, 11 &
12 for detailed seal and shaft assemblies.)
1. Shaft/Seal Assembly
a. Install inside o-ring (Ref. No. 20)
into body (Ref. No. 11). Lubricate
with water.
b. There are two possible standard
types of seals. One style, the seal
is one piece while the other style
has a seal boot, spring and spring
retainer. The seal seats can also
be of two styles; one has a rubber
boot and the other has an o-ring.
Identify which type you have
(See Figure 10). (For the Teflon
seal, see the following note and
Figure 12.)
c. Refer to assembling components
on drive shaft (See Figure 9).
When installing the seal on the
shaft, wet with water and be
cautious when sliding it into
position. The spring retaining
washer and spring are behind
the seal with the carbon ceramic
facing towards the keyed end of
drive shaft (See Figure 9).
d. Press seal seat into the seal
retainer (See Figure 11) using
water as a lubricant. The white
shiny ceramic face should be
visible after pressing the seal
into the seal retainer. It is recommended to use a cardboard washer or wood dowel when pushing
the seal seat into the seal seat
retainer. Any scratches, dirt, or
fingerprints on the carbon ceramic
faces will cause the seal to leak.
The seal seat is stationary in the
pump, while the seal on the
shaft rotates, providing for the
sealing surface.
NOTE: When installing the seat for the
Teflon seal, an anti-rotation pin must be
installed into the seat retainer. The
anti-rotation pin (Ref. No. 25) is a small
spring pin which must be installed into
the seat retainer in the small hole.
About 1/8” to 3/16” of the pin should
be exposed inside of the seat retainer (Figure 11). The seal seat is then
installed into the seat retainer.

Appendix 1 - Gear Pump Gasket Adjustment for Temperature
Gear pump is factory assembled to
operate within a temperature range
of 70° – 120° F (20° – 50° C). For
temperatures outside this range,
please see the table below for your
series and port size pump.
NOTE: Always refer to the original
owner’s manual repair and maintenance sections on pump disassembly and assembly for more detailed
instructions.
NOTE: When pumping fluids of high
viscosity (>500 SSU), the required torque
and HP can be reduced by adding a
gasket for increased gear clearance.
Gasket Installation Instructions (refer
to assembly diagram below):
1. Turn off power to pump, turn off
inlet and outlet valves, and relieve
pressure in lines.
2. Allow pump to cool.
3. Remove cover screws (1), cover (2)
and gasket (3). Be sure to mark
proper orientation of cover and
pump body.
4. Replace gaskets (3) per instructions
listed in table.
5. Replace cover (2) and cover screws
(1) according to orientation marked
in step 3.
6. Tighten cover screws (1) in
sequence listed on diagram. Use
torque specifications listed in table.
