Thank you for purchasing a Tri-Clover Product! This manual contains installation, operation, cleaning and repair instructions, with parts lists, for the C-Series close coupled pumps manufactured by Tri-Clover Inc., Kenosha, Wisconsin. It also provides a troubleshooting chart to assist in determining pump malfunction.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Safety is very important! DO NOT attempt to modify any Tri-Clover product. To do so could create unsafe conditions and void all warranties. DO NOT place any Tri-Clover product in an application where general product service ratings are exceeded.
INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION WARNING Before servicing pump, disconnect electrical power source. The “C” series close coupled pumps are made up of two sections, power or drive section and the liquid end or pump section. The pump is mounted to the frame of the drive motor by means of an adapter, and is coupled to the motor shaft by a stainless steel stub shaft.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION GUIDELINES UNPACKING EQUIPMENT Check the contents and all wrapping when unpacking your equipment. Inspect all parts for damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report any damage to the carrier. LOCATION AND INSTALLATION The pump unit should be located as near as possible to the Figure One liquid source and in a position where the suction piping can be short and direct with a minimum number of elbows and fittings.
INSTALLATION PIPING HINTS GENERAL This section provides some do’s and don’ts of piping which will aid in obtaining the maximum efficiency and service from your pump. Piping should be independently supported at both the suction inlet and discharge outlet. Care should be taken that piping is properly aligned and does not put any strain on the pump casing.
It is necessary to disassemble parts of the pump for cleaning and sanitizing. For Tri-Clover pumps equipped with the “Groove-In-Shaft” design (types D, DG, or F seals only), it is not necessary to disassemble if used in Clean-In-Place installation.

MAINTENANCE REPAIR It is recommended that periodic inspection of all parts of the pump be made to prevent malfunctions caused by worn or broken parts. Disassembly for repair is the same procedure as for cleaning. Note: Protect the sealing surface of the backplate against nicks and scratches while removing, cleaning and reassembling.

MAINTENANCE REPAIR It is recommended that periodic inspection of all parts of the pump be made to prevent malfunctions caused by worn or broken parts. Disassembly for repair is the same procedure as for cleaning. This seal design is used in applications where a vacuum tight, cool operating seal is required. This seal consists of two carbon seals inside a stuffing box, which is attached to the backplate.
