MODEL EEDD-29 PUMP UNIT ONLY

To mount pump to your engine, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen clamp assembly (Key No. 4C) on shaft extension. Position pump adapter on motor; insert engine shaft into shaft extension. BE SURE pump adapter pilot fits pilot bore in engine.

2. Attach pump adapter to engine using (4) 5/16 x 3/4” capscrews and lockwashers–(5/16-24 capscrews are required for engines with aluminum blocks, and 5/16-18 capscrews are required for engines with cast iron blocks).

3. Push shaft extension toward pump until fibre spacer will not rotate freely on shaft. Tighten clamp assembly on shaft extension. Hold the shaft extension with a screwdriver in one of the slots while tightening the nut.

4. As the fibre spacer is used to establish impeller clearance only, it will burn out shortly after pump is put into operation and need not be replaced.

NOTE: If engine is removed, a new fibre washer should be obtained to re-establish clearance before replacing engine.

5. Use one of the following engines:

(a) Briggs and Stratton

(b) Kohler

Refer to engine manufacturer’s service manual for parts or service to engine.

BE SURE to fill crankcase with recommended grade of oil.

Do NOT run pump until it has been primed, as this could ruin the seal.

NOTE: MODEL EDG-105 IS BUILT FOR USE WITH SWIMMING POOLS.

MODEL EDG-105 IS SHIPPED WITH A 1-1/2” SUCTION FLANGE ASSEMBLY.

* These parts are not furnished. Order Strainer Fittings Package C298-9, which includes these parts.

PLACING THE PUMP

This pump is portable, and should be placed on a level foundation or firm level ground as near the water source as possible, for efficient operation. Model EEDD-29 can be mounted on an available gasoline engine. It must have the engine supported to the same level as the pump mount, to avoid placing strain on the pump adapter or engine. All suction and discharge piping should also be supported independently near the pump, to avoid strain on the unit. Standard piping can be used, or as the pump is portable, reinforced suction hose can be used on the suction inlet. This hose must have the equivalent capacity of 2” iron pipe. A strainer should be used on the end of the suction pipe or hose. See Figures 1 and 2 for typical installations.

PRIMING THE PUMP

Install pipe tee in the discharge opening of the pump with a nipple. Provide a priming plug in the top opening.

See Figure 2.

Fill the pump with water and tighten the priming plug. Start the engine, and the pump will prime, with priming time depending upon the suction lift and the horizontal distance to water.

OPERATING SPEED Models With Engine

These pumps leave the factory with a gas engine set to operate at 3500 rpm when pumping, which is the correct speed for maximum efficiency. Model EEDD-29 must be provided with an engine which will operate at approximately the same speed (3500 rpm).

Always start the unit at full speed until unit is primed and pumping water. It can be throttled to lower the pump’s capacity while pumping.
