FTI KC 5.5 Series Installation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

ASSEMBLY
Unpack the pump, drive magnet assembly and hardware package
from carton and check for shipping damage.
WARNING: Magnetic field hazard. This pump contains powerful
rare earth magnets. When the pump is disassembled (not connected
to a motor) and the magnets are exposed, these magnets produce
powerful magnetic fields. Individuals with cardiac pacemakers,
implanted defibrillators, other electronic medical devices or sickle
cell anemia must not handle or be in the proximity of the magnets
contained inside the pump. Consult a health care provider for specific
recommendations before working with this pump.

1. Remove the pump, drive magnet assembly and hardware
package from box.
CAUTION: Keep away from metallic particles, tools and
electronics. Drive magnets MUST be free of metal chips.
2. Slide drive magnet assembly (item 6) onto the motor shaft
until it is between 3.110" and 3.120" as measured from the
motor face to the top of the drive magnet assembly. See
Figure 1.
Align set screw (item 6B) with flat or key slot on
the motor shaft and tighten both setscrews with a 5/32" Al-
len wrench to 70 in.-lbs. (7.9 N-m ).
CAUTION: Do not operate/test the motor with the drive mag
net assembly exposed.
WARNING : Magnets are strong. To avoid damage and pinch-
ing fingers, tightly grasp pump assembly keeping finger tips
away from the area where the motor adapter and motor meet.

3. Carefully slide the pump assembly over the drive magnet
assembly. Orient the discharge port to either the 12 or
9 o'clock position. Make sure rabbet (step) on motor is fully
seated into the motor adapter (item 5). Align bolt holes in
motor adapter and motor. Install (4) bolts and washers (items
10A,10B, & 10C) from hardware package.
4. Manually rotate pump assembly to ensure that the pump
is not binding or rubbing on the drive magnet assembly.
5. Install the pump into the system according to installation
instructions.

63/B14, 71/B14 & 80/B14
1. Remove pump, drive magnet assembly and hardware
package from box.
CAUTION: Keep away from metallic particles, tools
and electronics.
2. Remove screws and washers (items 9A, 9B & 9C) from
impeller housing (item 1) and remove pump assembly
from motor adapter (item 5).
3. For 63 frame pumps - Adjust the single setscrew located in
the middle of the supplied shaft adapter so that it protrudes
slightly into the inside bore. Align that protruding setscrew
with the keyway or flat on the motor shaft and slide on the
shaft adapter until it bottoms out. Tighten the single set-
screw into the keyway, and then tighten the two setscrews
on the end of the adapter onto the motor shaft.
4. Install the motor adapter (item 5) onto the motor with the
access holes top and bottom. Secure with supplied hard-
ware (items 10A, 10B, and 10C). On 63 frame pumps,
from the motor side, insert the supplied gray spacer into the
base of the motor adapter and secure both to the motor.
5. For 63 frame pumps - Screw the cone point drive magnet
assembly setscrew (item 6B) in so that it protrudes
slightly into the drive bore. Align the protruding setscrew point
with the key slot on the shaft adapter and slide the drive
magnet assembly (item 6) on. Adjust the drive magnet
assembly (item 6) so that it is 1.016 mm (.040 +/- .005)
below the face of the motor adapter (see figure 2) and
tighten both setscrews with a 5/32" Allen wrench to 7.9 N.m
(70 in. lbs.).
