Pump Test and Installation

Before you install the pump in the system, set the direction of
pump rotation and the position of the pressure rollers:
1. Remove front cover from pump (four screws).
2. See Figure 1. For easier adjustment, check that pressure
rollers are in position shown (one roller compressing middle
of hose, and one roller free).
Note: Model 2006 and 2007 pumps use a different rotor
assembly than the one shown.
W0455
3. Connect incoming power supply to motor (refer to motor
manufacturer's instructions).
4. See Figure 2. Run pump and check direction of rotation,
"A" or "B" as shown. All pumps must rotate in direction "A"
(counterclockwise). To reverse rotation, exchange two of
three wires that connect incoming power to motor.

5. Set pressure rollers (see "Service: Setting the Roller
Pressure"). Roller pressure is not set at factory, because it
must be adjusted to compensate for size of inlet and discharge
lines and specific gravity of fluid being pumped.
6. Verify all fasteners are properly tightened.
7. Reattach front cover.
8. Install pump in system.

Before Initial Start-Up

Before you pump fluid through the system, be sure that:
1. All shutoff valves are open.
2. All connections are tightly secured.
3. See Hose Identification Table. Hose material is compatible
with fluid being pumped, and hose design matches duty cycle
and discharge pressures.

4. See Material Operating Temperatures Table. Temperature of
fluid pumped is within operating temperature range of hose
material installed in pump. Hose material can be identified by
5 and 6 digit of pump model number. E.g. 2007-NF-BB-D2,
th th
where 'NF' designates natural rubber.
CAUTION: Contact factory when pumping a fluid that is
within 15˚ F of the maximum hose temperature. Take safety
precautions to insure hot pumpage does not harm operators
if a hose leaks.
