! CAUTION

Important Precautions

• To avoid personal injury or pump damage, follow all
instructions and safety precautions c arefully.

• Don’t exceed the manufact urer’s recommended RPM
or pressure limits.

• Follow all codes and hydraulic recommendations on
installation and operation of the pumping system.

• To prevent vibration, mount the pump and motor securely
to a rigid, level base.

• For safety and easier servicing, provide adequate work
space around the pump. Allow space to remove the front
cover, hose clamps, hose, and drive unit.

Limited Warranty

Wanner Engineering, Inc. extends to the original purchaser
of equipment manufactured by it and bearing its name, a
limited one-year warranty from the date of purchase against
defects in material or workmanship, provided that the
equipment is installed and operated in accordance with the
recommendations and instructions of Wanner Engineering,
Inc. Wanner Engineering, Inc. will repair or replace, at its
option, defective parts without charge if such parts are
returned with transportation charges prepaid to Wanner
Engineering, Inc., 1204 Chestnut Avenue, Minneapolis,
Minnesota 55403.

This warranty does not cover:

1. The electric motors (if any), which are covered by
the separate warranties of the manufacturers of these
components.

2. Normal wear and/or damage caused by or related to
abrasion, corrosion, abuse, negligence, accident, faulty
installation or tampering in a manner which impairs normal
operation.

3. Transportation costs.

This limited warranty is exclusive, and is in lieu of any
other warranties (express or implied) including warranty of
merchantability or warranty of fitness for a particular purpose
and of any nonc ontractual liabilities including product
liabilities based on negligence or strict liability. Every form
of liability for direct, special, incidental or consequential
damages or loss is expressly excluded and denied.

Principle of Operation

Two rollers, mounted on a rotor, alternately compress a thick­walled hose in a patented concentric guide. As they rotate, they
push the liquid in the hose from the suction to the discharge
side. The subsequent opening of the hose, after a roller passes,
creates a vacuum on the suction side — resulting in continuous
pumping.

Installation Planning

Inlet Piping

• Size the inlet line one or two sizes larger than pump suction
opening.

• Suction lines should be as short and direct as possible.

• Size the suction line so that the velocity will not exceed
1 – 3 ft/sec.

Velocity =
Pipe I.D.

• Install a 3 ft. to 4 ft. flexible hose between pump and hard
piping to absorb vibrations, expansions, or contractions.

• Install an inlet pressure/vacuum gauge on the inlet side of
the pump.

• To reduce turbulence and resistance, do not use 90° elbows.
If turns are necessary in the suction line use 45° elbows or
long sweeping elbows when required.

• Install piping supports where necessary to relieve strain on
the inlet line and to minimize vibration.

• In extreme cases, a pulsation dampener may be required to
decrease acceleration head.

Discharge Piping

• Size the discharge line to at least the size of the pump inlet
connection.

• Between the pump and hard piping, install flexible a hose
long enough to reduce pulsations (typically 3 ft. to 4 ft.).

• Install a pressure gauge in the discharge piping.

• In extreme cases, a pulsation dampener may be required to
absorb excessive pulsation (caused by high pump speed and
long discharge lines).

Pump Test and Installation

Before you install the pump in the system, set the direction of
pump rotation and the position of the pressure rollers:

1. Remove front cover from pump (four screws).

2. See Figure 1. For easier adjustment, check that pressure
rollers are in position shown (one roller compressing middle
of hose, and one roller free).

Note: Model 2006 and 2007 pumps use a dif ferent rotor

assembly than the one shown.

Figure 1

3. Connect incoming power supply to motor (refer to motor
manufacturer’s instructions).

4. See Figure 2. Run pump and check direction of rotation,
“A” or “B” as shown. All pumps must rotate in direction “A“
(counterclockwise). To reverse rotation, exchange two of
three wires that connect incoming power to motor.

Before Initial Start-Up

Before you pump fluid through the system, be sure that:

1. All shutoff valves are open.

2. All connections are tightly secured.

3. See Hose Identification Table. Hose material is compatible
with fluid being pumped, and hose design matches duty cycle
and discharge pressures.

4. See Material Operating Temperatures Table. Temperature of
fluid pumped is within operating temperature range of hose
material installed in pump. Hose material can be identified by
5th and 6th digit of pump model number. E.g. 2007-NF-BB-D2,
where ‘NF’ designates natural rubber.

CAUTION: Contact factory when pumping a fluid that is

within 15˚ F of the maximum hose temperature. Take safety

precautions to insure hot pumpage does not harm operators
if a hose leaks.

5. S et pressure rolle rs (see “Ser vice: Set t ing the Roller
Pressure”). Roller pressure is not set at factory, because it
must be adjusted to compensate for size of inlet and discharge
lines and specific gravity of fluid being pumped.

6. Verify all fasteners are properly tightened.

7. Reattach front cover.

8. Install pump in system.
