Hazardous pressure! Install pressure relief valve in discharge pipe. Release all pressure on system before working on any component. 1. Make workshop child proof - use padlocks, master switches; remove starter keys. 2. Wear safety glasses when working with pumps. 3. Wear a face shield and proper apparel when pumping hazardous chemicals. 4. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted; replace all unused tools and equipment. 5. Provide guarding around moving parts. 6. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area. 7. Periodically inspect pump and system components. 8. Protect electrical cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately. 9. Do not insert finger or any object into pump or motor openings. 10. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage or puncture. Do not touch an operating motor or engine. They are designed to operate at high temperatures. ! This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. ! Risk of Electric Shock. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas. NOTE: Pumps with the “CSA-CUS” mark are tested to UL standard UL778 and certified to CSA standard C22.2 No. 108. Pre-Installation HANDLING 1. Use handle supplied to lift pump. 2. Avoid impact on pump or motor. In particular, avoid impact on discharge end of pump or rear motor access cover. LOCATION ! In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup system(s) should be used. 1. Locate pump as close to the fluid source as possible, keeping the inlet pipe short as possible. 2. Place unit where the pump and piping are protected from the weather and extremes of heat, humidity and below freezing temperatures. 3. Mount unit in a dry location that is easily accessible for inspection and maintenance. If a dry location is not available, mount it on a foundation well above the wet floor. 4. Allow ample clearance around unit for free air circulation. SUCTION LIMITATIONS 1. Units are non self-priming. 2. Pressure booster pumps are not recommended for suction lift applications. PIPING 1. Use galvanized piping, rigid plastic or other suitable pipe that will not collapse under suction or rupture due to pressure. If hose is used, make sure it is the reinforced industrial type that is rated higher than the shutoff pressure of the system. Ordinary garden hose will collapse and starve the pump of water. 2. The diameter of the inlet and discharge pipe should be no smaller than the corresponding ports of the pump (See Figure 1). Smaller pipe will reduce the capacity of the pump. Increase pipe size on long runs. 3. Avoid air pockets in inlet piping or air will accumulate at high points, making priming difficult. 4. Use pipe compound on all joints and connections. Use Teflon tape or plastic joint stik, on plastic pipe. Draw all pipe up tightly. IMPORTANT: The entire system must be air and water tight for efficient/proper operation. 4 FLINT & WALLING, INC. • 95 North Oak St. • Kendallville, IN 46755 • IL0419IL0419 No Air Leaks In Pipe Joint Compound Installation No Sags Sags Allow Air Pockets Inlet Pipe Will Damage Plastic PUMP INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Pump is built to handle clear water only; it is not designed to If Air Flows Water handle water containing sand, silt or Won’t other abrasives. 1.Refer to Figures 6, 7, and 8 for typical installations. Support pump and piping when assembling and when IL0418 IL0420 installed. Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor Use Teflon Tape bearing failures, etc. 2. If the pump is used as part of a per-Figure 2 - No Air Pockets in Inlet Pipe Figure 3 - Inlet Pipe Must Not Leak manent installation, bolt to a rigid If Air Pockets Form, Water Won’t Flow foundation. ! Use only components that are rated for maximum pressure pump can produce when used in boosting system or any other system. Do not exceed the total maximum pressure boost as listed per model in Performance Charts B. PRESSURE BOOST SYSTEMS 1. On pressure boost systems, locate the pump so that there will always be a positive supply of water to the pump (See Figures 6, 7 and 8). 2. For service convenience, install a gate valve and union in the inlet and discharge line. Do not use a globe valve or other restricting type of valve that will seriously restrict the pumps discharge capacity. 3. Install a check valve as shown in Figure 6. Be sure check valve flow arrows point in the direction of water flow. 4. Whenever dirt, sand or debris is present in the supply water, install a strainer or filter on the inlet side of the pump (See Figure 7). NOTE: For heavy amounts of sediment, install a trap filter on the inlet side of the pump (See Figure 5). NOTE: Pressure gauge...
