WARNING!!!
This pump is designed to handle mild industrial corrosives, residues and slurries containing
large entrained solids. Do not attempt to pump volatile, corrosive, or flammable materials that
may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure.
WARNING!!!
After the pump has been positioned, make certain that the pump and all piping connections are
tight, properly supported and secure before operation. (Refer to Installation section)
DANGER!!!
Do not operate the pump without the guards in place over the rotating parts. Exposed rotating
parts can catch clothing, fingers, or tools, causing severe injury to personnel.
WARNING!!!
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges, pipe plugs, or fittings from an overheated pump. Vapor
pressure within the pump can cause parts being disengaged to be ejected with great force.
Allow the pump to cool before servicing.
WARNING!!!
Do not operate the pump against a closed discharge valve for long periods of time. If operated
against a closed discharge valve, pump components will deteriorate, and the liquid could come
to a boil, build pressure, and cause the pump casing to rupture or explode.
WARNING!!!
Remove suction and discharge piping from pump prior to moving. Use lifting and moving
equipment with adequate capacity and in good repair.
INSTALLATION
Use the following guidelines when installing your new PB Series Self Priming Pump.
WARNING!!!
Review safety information in safety information section. This section is intended to outline
general recommendations and practices required to position and arrange the pump and piping
in static lift situations. If installing the unit in flooded suction applications some of the
information will need to be tailored to the specific application. Never exceed the maximum
permissible operating pressure of the pump as shown on the pump performance curve.
FOUNDATION/BASE PLATE/SKID
If using a concrete foundation it should be rigid enough to inhibit vibration. Pour the
foundation well in advance of installation of pump equipment to allow time for drying and
curing.
