INSTALLATION
PUMP DRIVE AND MOUNTING
When mounting the pump and motor, care must be
taken to align the pump and motor shafts within .003
T.I.R. Direct inline through a jaw type/flexible web
coupling is recommended for all Continental pumps.
Tire-type flexing elements and chain-type drives are
not recommended. With belt drives, please consult
factory.
To avoid axial and radial end loading of the pump
shaft, do not couple the pump and motor shafts
rigidly. Allow freedom at the coupling for the two
shafts to ride independently.
To prevent end loading, the space between the pump
and motor shaft ends should be 3/4 inch (19.1 mm)
for PVR50 pumps, or as the coupling manufacturer
specifies.
PIPING AND RESERVOIR
The pump should be mounted with a minimum
number of elbows or fittings. The pump suction
should be at least two (2) inch (50.8 mm) tube/pipe
for PVR50 pumps and 2-1/2 inch (63.5 mm) tube/pipe
for PVR50-70B pumps.
