COOLING

Our fan cooled drives are designed to eliminate the need of cooling water in most cases. Drive sizes M40 through M80
and G40 through G200 are not equipped with cooling coils except on special order. The operating temperature of these
models should not exceed 190 F. Propeller Pump Gear Drives Model M80P thru M30A require no water cooling.

Drives sizes M100 thru M200 and G250 through F1000 are equipped with auxiliary cooling coils. The water cooling
coils must be hooked up to reduce excessive heat generation. Failure to properly use the water cooling system
will void the warranty. The amount of fresh water required at 70 F. will be 3 gal. per minute for G250 to 7 gal. per
minute for F1000. Water pressure through the cooling coils should be limited to 90 psi or less. Oil temperature will rise
with increase of speed above 1760 RPM or in rooms with limited air circulation causing high room temperatures.

NON-REVERSE CLUTCH - PIN TYPE


The four pins enclosed are for the non-reverse clutch. They are to be installed in the drilled holes of the clutch if
non-reverse protection is desired. They may be omitted if non-reverse protection is not needed. Pins must be clean
and free from oil so they will fall freely.

The non-reverse protection is not guaranteed. Settings of over 400 ft. (122 meters) deep will require special
procedures, and in some cases the pin and ratchet type non-reverse will not work. Consult supplier for proper
procedure for shutting down the well. The gear drive can be damaged by shock engagement caused by the pump
starting to back spin before the pins engage. Check the gear drive carefully after shock engagement of the
non-reverse for any damage to the gear drive.

NON-REVERSE CLUTCH - SPRAG TYPE

The sprag non-reverse is a positive type available on most models. The sprag clutch allows no more than 1 degree
backspin of the pump. When the sprag non-reverse is in service, the engine should be idled back, and the Power Take
Off clutch should be disengaged at a slow speed allowing the non-reverse to stop the pump.

CAUTION: Failure to install a P.T.O. (clutch) between the engine and gear drive, and failure to disengage same
on pump shut down can cause damage to the Sprag Non-Reverse as well as the pin type non-reverse.
Repeated engine roll back into the gear drive will cause damage to the non-reverse pins, the ratchet plate, and
shear the clutch drive bolts. NON-REVERSE PROTECTION IS NOT GUARANTEED.

WARNING
All rotating shafts and couplings must be adequately guarded before operating the gear drive. The top cover
supplied with the gear drive must be installed over the non reverse coupling and the top of the head shaft
before operating the gear drive.

An adequate guard (supplied by others) must be installed around the drive line or coupling between the gear
drive and the engine before operating the gear drive.

All gear drives are furnished with lifting devices which are adequate for safely lifting the gear drive.

1. Disconnect the drive line or coupling from the horizontal shaft of the gear drive.
2. Remove the pump head shaft nut.
3. Remove the non reverse clutch from the head shaft.
4. Disconnect the gear drive from the pump discharge base.
5. Lift the gear drive using the lifting device provided with the gear drive.

Caution: Lifting devices provided are not designed to lift the gear drive and pump together.

This torsional coupling is designed to be installed with systems using U-joint type drive lines and standard gear drives.
The bonded-rubber element is manufactured by Ringfeder and is self supporting. The coupling has been selected with
the best compromise of torsional characteristics for engines operating between 1200 and 2400 rpm. In most cases
the standard element will work. If all operating parameters are known, a torsional vibration analysis can be performed
at an extra cost. If needed, rubber elements with different torsional characteristics can be supplied. Different selections
may be determined by operation or analysis. (Ringfeder Corp. - 201-666-3320)

In most cases, the coupling can be installed with minimal modifications to the drive line shaft length and guarding
system.

WARNING: ROTATING SHAFTS AND COUPLINGS ARE DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY. AN ADEQUATE GUARD MUST BE INSTALLED AROUND THE COUPLING
AND DRIVE SHAFT BEFORE OPERATION OF THE GEAR DRIVE. THE GUARD IS NOT
