1. ENGINE STARTING BATTERY 2. PUMP OUTLET (DISCHARGE) PORT. Opening for discharge of liquids from the pump. Fittings can be threaded or bolted to the pump flange. 3. REAR LEVELING JACKS. Used to level the rear of the pump on rough or uneven ground. 4. CHECK VALVE. A valve that permits flow in one direction only. (Required for pump priming.) 5. DRAIN/SUCTION HOSE RELEASE VALVE. (Located on rear skid.) Allows for complete draining of the pump volute for storage and/or maintenance.
SPECIFICATIONS Read this manual carefully before attempting to use this pump. The potential for property damage, personal injury or death exists if this equipment is misused or installed incorrectly. Read all of the manuals included with this unit. Each manual details specific information regarding items such as set up, use and service requirements.

FRONT HOOD OPERATION WARNING Stay clear of hood and lift structure when opening and closing pump hoods. Personal injury may result. TO OPEN THE FRONT HOOD: 1. With your right hand, grip the handle located on the upper right side of the front panel. 2. With your left hand, pull the hood latch located on the upper corner of the left hood side (see Figure A). Tilt the hood open until it contacts the bulkhead panel. CAUTION Pump hoods are heavy. Use caution when opening or closing. TO CLOSE THE FRONT HOOD: 1.
REAR HOOD OPERATION WARNING Stay clear of hood and lift structure when opening and closing pump hoods. Personal injury may result. TO OPEN THE REAR HOOD: 1. Open front hood. 2. Verify that the control door is completely closed and secure. 3. Pull lever located under lift structure to release the primary hood latch (see Figure A). 4. Proceed to rear of unit to release the secondary hood latch and tilt the hood open (see Figure B). A. With your right hand, grip the handle located on the rear of the hood. B.
REAR HOOD OPERATION WARNING Stay clear of hood and lift structure when opening and closing pump hoods. Personal injury may result. TO CLOSE THE REAR HOOD: 1. Make sure the skid is free of debris and all personnel are clear of unit. 2. Verify that the control door is completely closed and secure. 3. Release the red safety link located on the left side metal guide strap by rotating the link counterclockwise. Failure to release the safety link could result in damage to the link or other components.

Displays engine oil pressure. Typical range is 30-80 psi. 5. VACUUM GAUGE. Used to determine if the pump is achieving prime.
CONTROL PANEL LEDS FLASHING LOW FUEL / LOW COOLANT STEADY LOW OIL PRESSURE HIGH TEMPERATURE OVERCRANK NO SPEED SIGNAL ENGINE REST OVERSPEED ENGINE RUNNING PREHEAT FLASHING LEDS • • • LOW FUEL / LOW COOLANT: Indicates a low fuel level or low coolant level shutdown (optional). NO SPEED SIGNAL: Indicates a pump engine shut down due to a loss of signal from the engine’s magnetic pickup. Refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section for possible causes.
PRE-USE CHECKPOINTS Before using the pump, be sure to check the following: • • • • Place the pump as close as possible to the liquid being pumped, keeping the number of hose sections and couplings to a minimum. The pump should be the highest point between the intake and outlet section of the hoses. Make sure the ground is firm and as level as possible. Check the pump discharge area; make sure it will not erode the material under the pump or damage any nearby structures.
STARTING THE PUMP Before starting the pump, be sure to check the following: • • • • Make sure all hose couplings, covers and plugs are tight. Check the oil level in the mechanical seal oil reservoir bottle. Do not allow the bottle to run dry. Check the engine oil level, coolant level and fuel level. Make sure the engine starting battery is connected. 1. Make sure the Emergency Stop switch is pulled out (deactivated). 2. Push the Engine Start Switch up to the MANUAL START position.
7. Use the table below for approximate flow rates for the 6” pump. 6 Inch SUCTION SPECIFICATIONS B C A A = Suction Lift: The distance between the centerline of the pump impeller and the surface of the liquid being pumped. B = Vertical Discharge Head: Vertical distance from the centerline of the pump inlet to the centerline of the highest point of discharge. C = Total Dynamic Head (TDH): Suction lift plus vertical discharge plus friction loss. Note: To calculate PSI, divide TDH in feet by 2.31.
STOPPING THE PUMP 1. Reduce the engine speed by adjusting the engine throttle. 2. Allow the engine to idle briefly before switching the engine start switch to the center (OFF) position. Do not use the Emergency Stop switch unless absolutely necessary. Stopping the pump suddenly may cause shock waves to be transmitted back to the pump volute, causing pump damage. To activate the emergency stop, push the stop switch in. To deactivate the switch, pull the switch out. 3.
PUMP BEARING FRAME LUBRICATION The lubrication of the ball bearings depends on speed, load, ambient temperature, contamination, moisture, intermittent or continuous service and other factors. These re-greasing recommendations are general and are to be used with good judgement and consideration of the pump service.
DAILY WALK AROUND INSPECTION Look for conditions that could hinder performance or safety, such as (but not limited to) oil/coolant/fuel leakage, blocked vents, loose/missing hardware and electrical connections Visually inspect the fan belt for cracks, fraying, stretching and that the belt is properly seated in pulley grooves. Replace the belt according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Note: At the 500 hour/12 month service interval, it is recommended that the belt be removed and checked for wear.
Maintenance Action Daily 100 Hours 250 Hours 500 Hours Service Battery Flush Cooling System Clean Crankcase Vent Tube Check Compressor Mounting Hardware Replace Fan Belt 2000 Hours Replace Cooling System Hoses Pressure Test Cooling System Check Engine Valve Clearance Check Flex Coupling Condition Check Pump to Engine Hardware 2500 Hours Lubricate Pump Bearings *** * See “MECHANICAL SEAL LUBRICATION” on page 20 for details.
LIFTING THE PUMP Only lift the pump with equipment that is in good condition and that is rated to support the weight of the pump. See the specifications on page 10 for approximate weights. A central lifting eye is located on the top of the pump. The eye is connected to a central lifting frame. Attach a sling or hook directly to the lifting eye. Always remain aware of others around you when moving or lifting the pump. Suction and discharge hoses and piping must be removed from the pump before lifting.
