Check motor.
It may be equipped
with an automatic 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!
Assembly

3. If you have a Type B coupler, install
the rubber plug (See Figure 4) into
the bottom of the motor shaft bore
in the drive coupling.
4. Align the keyways of motorshaft
and coupling, then install the key
(See Figure 3 or 4). Slide the drive
coupling onto the motor shaft as far
as it will go.
NOTE: Some models are supplied with a
bushing and extra key (not shown),
which converts the drive coupling from
a 7/8" motor shaft bore to a 5/8" motor

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.
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 af

fect a prime.
7. Be certain all suction piping connections are airtight.
NOTE: Assure airtight pipe connections
with the use of a pipe joint sealant.
ISCHARGE

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 over
pressure 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 valves 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 sup-
plied 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
to be filled (See Figure 5). Never
operate a pump unless it is secured
to a solid foundation and all safety
shields are installed.
Remove plug and
fill seal chamber
with fluid and
reinstall plug
Figure 5 - Prime Plug
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.
NOTE: Cast iron pumps are for oil-based
fluids only.
When pumping a more viscous

relief valve is always on discharge
side (See Figure 1).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
6. Standard model rotary gear pumps
are supplied with a built-in internal
pressure relief valve (can be externally ported). The valve may be
adjusted and used to set system
operating pressure, or used as a
system pressure relief valve to
prevent pump and motor damage
that can occur when discharge line
is closed off. This relief valve is not
factory set. Extended operation
(over one minute) under shut-off
conditions could cause pump to
overheat, leak, and damage itself
or overload motor.
7. To increase the pressure relief valve
pressure setting, loosen lock nut
(See Figure 12, Ref. No. 37), then
turn the set screw (See Figure 12,
Ref. No. 36) in (clockwise). Turning
the set screw out (counterclockwise)
will reduce the pressure setting.
When desired pressure is achieved,
tighten lock nut and reinstall protective cap (See Figure 6).
Loosen valve lock nut and adjust
pressure with adjustment screw
and tighten lock nut again.
Figure 6 - Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment
The pressure relief valve can be

converted to an external relief. This
will allow the relief to dump back
to tank and allow longer periods of
relief without pump damage.
Remove external bypass
lug cover and discard.
p
then insert external bypass
relief plug as shown.
Figure 7 - External Pressure
Relief Valve Installation
However, this is not a full-line relief
valve, and in cases where frequent
extended relief valve operation is
anticipated, a full-line external relief
valve should be piped in the discharge line and connected either
back to the tank or well downstream of the pump suction inlet
(See Figure 7).
9. To convert the relief valve to external relief, remove the NPT pipe plug
from the pump cover (See Figure 12,
Ref. No. 36) and discard. This plug is
next to the relief valve. In the bottom of the NPT hole, there is a second drilled and tapped hole. An
optional external bypass plug (See
Figure 12, Ref. No. 39 included)
should be inserted in this hole and
bottomed out. The open NPT port
must now be piped back to the tank
or well downstream of the pump
suction (See Figure 7).
10. Standard models are equipped with
pressure relief valves, and the pump
can be run in reverse, however,
the pressure relief valve will not
function. For continuous reverse
rotation, the cover plate must be
rotated 180˚. This is accomplished
by removing the eight cover plate
screws, rotating the cover plate,
and reattaching the screws. The
pressure relief valve should now
be on the opposite side. This will
allow operation of the pump with
a functioning pressure relief valve
in reverse rotation.
GEAR PUMP GASKET ADJUSTMENT
FOR TEMPERATURE (See Appendix 1)
11. For operation in fluid temperatures
above 120° F, bronze pump models
must have the gasket thickness
djusted (not necessary for cast iron
a
models). 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
12. These bronze and cast iron 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 clear
ances between the gear teeth and
the bronze or cast iron 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 8
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.
Figure 9 - Internal Flush
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 9 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 (Gallon Per Hour) to
the seal cavity by means of a flow
meter and needle valve.
Step 1: Select a T pipe coupling that is
consistent with discharge pipe size and
material. Couple to discharge piping.
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).

REASSEMBLY
(Refer to Figure 12 for Reference
Numbers and Figures 10 & 11 for
detailed seal and shaft assemblies.)
1. Shaft/Seal Assembly
a. Install inside o-ring (Ref. No. 10)
into body (Ref. No. 4). Lubricate
with water on bronze models and
oil on cast iron models.
b. Refer to assembling components
on drive shaft (See Figure 10).
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.
c. There are two possible 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 11). Press seal seat into the
seal retainer (See Figures 10 & 11)
using water as a lubricant. The
white shiny ceramic face should
be visible after pressing the seal
to the seal retainer
mended to use a cardboard wash
er or wood dowel when pushing
the seal seat into the seal seat
retainer
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.
d. Slide the seal retainer onto
the drive shaft holding seal
onto the shaft.
. Any scratches, dirt, or
. It is recom
e. Slide the drive shaft assembly
(Ref. Nos. 5,6,7,8 &19) into the
ear pump and secure with the
g
internal retaining ring (Ref. No.
28). (Also see Figure 10.)
f. As a last step, install o-ring (Ref.
No. 20) over the drive splines of
the drive shaft (Ref. No. 5).
2. Gear and Shaft Installation
a. Install external retainer ring (Ref.
No. 22) onto drive shaft assembly
(Ref. No. 5). Replace the woodruff
key (Ref. No. 24) into the drive
shaft (Ref. No. 5) using soft jaw
pliers, or protect the shaft with
rubber while pressing the key in
place. Be sure that the key is level
and that the key and shaft are
free of burrs and scratches.
b. The drive gear (Ref. No. 21) can
be dropped in place and must be
free to float on the shaft. Do not
force the drive gear onto the
shaft. Install external retainer ring
(Ref. No. 22) onto drive shaft
assembly (Ref. No. 5).
c. The idler gear (Ref. No. 21) is
placed on the idler shaft (Ref. No.
23) over the woodruff key and
secured by the two external
retaining rings (Ref. No. 22).
d. Slide idler gear and shaft assem-
bly into pump body (Ref. No. 4),
rotating gear to get gears to
-
-
mesh.
e. Ensure that the gasket surfaces
are clear of debris, and dry off
surfaces.
Place new, clean and dry gasket on
the pump body by sliding gasket
over dowel pins. For bronze mod
els, refer to Appendix 1, to identify
the right thickness of gasket to use.
Any foreign or liquid
material on the gasket
or the gasket surfaces will increase the space
between the gears and the cover, and substantially reduce pump performance.
f. Slide cover over dowel pins. The
drive shaft assembly will require
light compression as cover is
s
tightened. Replace and tighten
cover screws. Alternate from top
to bottom and side to side while
tightening screws. Torque cover
screws (See Appendix 1).
g. Reinstall pump to motor (See
Assembly on page 5).
3. All pumps must be primed before
start-up and the seal chamber needs
to be filled (See Figure 5).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
1. Loosen lock nut (Ref. No. 37) on
regulator/relief valve adjustment
screw (Ref. No. 36) and rotate
clockwise (CW) 1-2 turns to free
regulator/relief valve spring retainer
(Ref. No. 34).
2. Unscrew and remove adjustment
screw (Ref. No. 36) by rotating
counterclockwise (CCW).
3. Unscrew valve end cap (Ref. No. 35)
by rotating counterclockwise (CCW).
4. Remove valve spring (Ref. No. 31)
and valve piston (Ref. No. 30), cover
and/or valve end cap.
Inspection of relief valve components
should include piston for wear and
erosion, the spring and the o-rings for
degradation. Components should be
cleaned of accumulated build-up of
solid matter
cover (Ref. No. 1) needs to be inspected
for wear on the piston pressure relief
valve seat (Ref. No. 29), the cover face
and the bushing pockets. Replace any
parts if worn.
o reassemble, reverse the disassembly
