    6. When driving on the road with the machine lifted the control lever must be locked against lowering! Trailed machines 1. When a machine is coupled to the drawbar make sure that the coupling point provides sufficient flexibility! Operating manual for BAUER gear pump...
  • Page 7 8. Never use electric-driven implements in damp situations or locations exposed to fire hazard unless they are adequately protected against moisture and dust! 9. Covering electric motors may cause heat concentration with high temperatures which could destroy the operating equipment and cause fires! Operating manual for BAUER gear pump...
  • Page 8: General

    BAUER products are designed and manufactured carefully and subject to a system of continuous quality control. MAGNUM slurry pumps fully meet the requirements of the agricultural practice. They are best suited for delivering all kinds of slurries from thin liquid manure to viscous mixtures containing solids such as straw, fibres or clots.
  • Page 9: Description

    It is absolutely necessary to install a stop valve in the delivery line. This valve must be closed during the priming process, otherwise slurry would be sucked in through the delivery line and the suction line would not be filled. Operating manual for BAUER gear pump...

    DO NOT OVER MIX! Air in the slurry affects performance & can cause serious pump damage by cavitation. • Difficult suction conditions can seriously affect the performance of the pump and lead to cavitation Operating manual for BAUER gear pump...
  • Page 11 Use drive shafts with shear pin couplings only! WARNING! Refer to separate drive shaft manual for length adjustment, profile tube overlap and maintenance! Do not raise or lower pump on tractor hydraulic linkage while PTO shaft is turning WARNING! Operating manual for BAUER gear pump...
  • Page 12 Always choose a speed that is just sufficient to obtain the desired performance. Failure to this instruction could increase fuel consumption, pump wear-out rates and possibly damage other parts & the pumping system NEVER WORK THE PUMP IN CAVITATION !

    1. Positioning the Pump 2. Attaching the suction line Equip the suction line with ORIGINAL Bauer coupling parts Never mount the suction line hanging from the pump (no strain relief). Always mount the suction line in a rising position (no sagging –entrapped air) The suction line must be absolutely leak-tight.
