 IMPELLER SHAFT  Compact and economical
 SUCTION FLANGE

INSTALLATION
 Install pump as near as possible to water source
 Give a sufficient space for after care and checking
 Before installation, check carefully and clean all impurities in the pump to avoid
impeller damage
 The installation foundation of the pump must be rigid and leveled correctly to
obtain true alignment and steady smooth operation
 It’s better to choose short and straight inlet to reduce the losses of the lift.
 The bottom valve must be keep a certain distance with the surface bed and bank
of the river.
 When the pump is belt driven, the PTO of the engine must be parallel with the
axle of the pump. The tight side of the belt should be placed downward.
 For direct-coupled pump, both their axle centerlines must coincide with each
other. There should be a clearance between couplings.
 While installing, take care with the right rotation of the pump.

OPERATION
  Check if the pump turns smoothly.
 Connect all the suction and discharge fittings to the pump.
 Check tightness of all connections.
 Be sure that the strainer or footvalve is not buried into the sand, leaves or mud.
 Fill or prime the pump with water
 Do not operate the engine or motor without water in the pump since seals or
packings are lubricated by water.
 The pump is now ready to use.

REPAIR & MAINTENANCE

 Having used the pump in heavy sand or mud conditions, Wash the pump to
prevent sand or mud from setting in the pump body.
 Replace worn out packing or seals.
 Occasionally check rubber suction valve which seats against the suction flange for
self priming.
 Occasionally check the impeller from obstruction (e.i. stones, muds or other
foreign object, then remove it if there’s any).

 Replace worn out impeller and mechanical plates

 Always make a periodic check on the tightness of bolts, nuts, set screws, and
alignment of belts
 Check unusual noises during operation
 To prevent foreign materials from falling into the pump, put cover on both inlet
and outlet when not using the pump
 Occasionally check the clearance of the impeller, clearance should be 0.1-0.2 mm

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTION

 Beware of revolving or moving parts

 Avoid wearing loose clothes and jewelries
 Operate in a well-ventilated place since exhaust gases are harmful
 Keep inflammable matters away
 Stop the prime mover when checking, adjusting and cleaning necessary parts
 Cover the discharge and suction ports when pump is not in use.
 Keep children away during the operation
 Always make a periodic check on the tightness of bolts, nuts, set screws, and
alignment of belts
 Keep it in safe place when not in use.
 Read Operator’s Manual carefully before usaing the pump.
TROUBLESHOOTING

NO WATER COMES OUT

PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY

Pump body has no enough water Fill up water
Defective hose bands or clamps Replace
Loose connection Tighten connection
Pump speed too low Increased speed
A head current of water in pump body Check suction valve and replace if
necessary
Defective gland packing Replace
Worn mechanical plate Replace
Impeller badly worn Replace
Trapped air Loosen priming plug until air comes out
and tighten again
Strainer clogged Clean
Installation too high Lower the pump
Pump wrong rotation Check and correct rotation
UNEVEN FLOW OF WATER
Suction hose crushed or flatten Hose must be round and in good
condition
Kinks in delivery hose Straighten out
Impeller badly worn Replace
Defective gland packing Tighten
Air leaks from the inlet Eliminate the air leaks
Motor speed not stable Regulate the speed
Loose belt connection Tighten
TOO MUCH NOISE AND VIBRATION
Bearing worm out Replace
Unleveled installation Check level
Offset axle alignment Adjust and calibrate it
Rubbing between impeller and casing Check impeller
Axle shaft bended Starighten or replace
Cavitation Lower pump installation
