Capacities and horsepower ratings are based on maximum head of
20 feet or 10 psi. Additional horsepower may be required when head
pressures exceed 10 psi. Farm tank outlet inside diameter must be
1-3/8" with 1-1/2" hose to obtain capacities to 65 GPM and 1-7/8" with
2" hose for capacities to 90 GPM.
Table shows approximate capacity, in U.S. gallon per minute, for new
pump with 20 feet of suction line. High starting torque motors are
required. Pump starting torque in dry condition (no fluid in pump
body) is 228 inch-pounds and in wet condition (fluid in pump body) is
168 inch-pounds. Impeller direction reversing torque in dry condition
is 336 inch-pounds and in wet condition is 228 inch-pounds. Appli-
cations requiring continual reversal of impeller are not recommended.
This product is specifically designed for farm pick-up milk tanker
trucks equipped with a remote drive. Jabsco pumps are also
available pedestal mounted with capacities to 100 GPM. Contact
factory for details.
1. INSTALLATION – Pump may be mounted in any position. The
rotation of the pump shaft determines the location of the pump's
intake and discharge ports; refer to dimensional drawing. Pump is
normally assembled at factory for clockwise rotation, looking at end
cover. If counterclockwise rotation is desired, follow steps 1,2 & 3
of disassembly and steps 3, 4 & 5 of assembly instructions to
change direction of impeller blade deflection under cam. Before
use, rotate pump shaft in direction of operating rotation.
2. DRIVE – Belt or direct.
BELT: Proper belt tension will insure optimum performance,
bearing and belt life.
DIRECT: Clearance should be left between drive shaft and pump
shaft when installing coupling. Mount and align pump and drive
shaft before tightening set screw. Flexible coupling is
recommended. NOTE: Capacitor type motor is required.

3. SELF-PRIMING – Vertical lifts to 10 feet when dry. INTAKE LINES
MUST BE AIRTIGHT to prevent product foaming and assure
self-priming. Use noncollapsible hose.
4. RUNNING DRY – The impeller is lubricated by the product being
pumped. CAUTION: DO NOT RUN DR
Lack of liquid will damage the impeller.
5. NOTICE – If pumping light fraction petroleum derivatives, solvents,
thinners, highly concentrated or organic acids, consult Jabsco
Chemical Resistance Table (which is available upon request from
Jabsco) for proper body materials and impeller compounds. If
corrosive fluids are handled, pump life will be prolonged if pump is
flushed with a neutralizing solution after each use or each work day.
6. PRESSURES – Consult performance chart. Contact factory for
higher head applications.
7. TEMPERATURES–Standard impeller 40° to 150° F (4° to 65° C).
Contact factory for impeller recommendation on applications outside
this range. Other impeller compounds are available which may be
utilized for certain applications at higher or lower temperatures.
