    The pump inlet should be as close to the liquid source as practical and preferably below it. Even though gear pumps have self-priming and lift capability, many issues can be avoided with a flooded suction arrangement. NOTE: The Poly-Guard Series pumps are close-coupled and no alignment procedures between the pump and motor are required. General Piping Requirements Refer to the Hydraulic Institute Standards for piping guidelines.
  • Page 9: Strainers & Solids Handling

    Models P1 thru P9, Close-Coupled Strainers & Solids Handling Liquiflo gear pumps have very close internal clearances and are designed to pump relatively clean fluids. The entrance of foreign material could cause damage or rapid wear to pump components. While occasional small particles may not be catastrophic to the pump, the use of a strainer on the inlet will prevent large particulates from entering the pump.
  • Page 10: Motor Hook-Up

    The direction of rotation of the motor shaft (same as that of the pump drive shaft) will determine which side of the pump is the inlet (suction side) and which side is the outlet (discharge side). For the Poly-Guard Series pumps, the flow direction...
  • Page 11: Start-Up & Operation

    Refer to the performance curves of the specific pump model being operated (see Liquiflo website: www.liquiflo.com). During pump operation, inspect for: (1) Unusual noise, (2) Product leakage, (3) Expected suction and discharge pressures and (4) Expected flow rate based on pump speed, fluid viscosity and differential pressure.

  • Page 14 Plates NOTE: Steps are not necessary if you are using a Liquiflo Repair Kit to rebuild the pump. Remove the drive gear (4) and key (13) from the drive shaft (2) by removing the retaining ring(s) (5). Discard the retaining rings.
  • Page 15: Outer Magnet Removal

    NOTE: The pedestal is shown connected directly to a motor, but the pedestal could also be connected directly to the Liquiflo S-Adapter (P/N SADAPT) or the Liquiflo Power Frame (P/N A-620804). Each of these devices can be used to long-couple the mag- drive pump to the motor.

  • Page 18: Installation Of Wear Plates

    NOTE: The drive shaft is located on the pump’s centerline. When the pump is in its normal horizontal orientation, the idler gear will be above the drive gear. Install the gear-shafts so that the Poly-Guard Series tag on the rear housing will be upright when the pump is horizontal.

    ® Liquiflo Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Poly-Guard Series MAG-DRIVE Gear Pumps Models P1 thru P9, Close-Coupled 5.4.2 Outer Magnet-to-Motor Assembly The axial positioning of the outer magnet on the motor shaft is critical to pump performance. Improper positioning can cause the outer magnet to rub against the front housing or produce an axial load on the inner magnet, causing premature pump wear.
