•Read and familiarize yourself with both the FF-3D-TM-TCP Manual and the HPU’s manual before a>empting to operate this pump. Pump service applica ons are seldom iden cal, please call Fast Flow Pumps at (228) 475-2468 if you have any ques ons about your specific applica on.
The unique double suc on pump design uses suc on from both sides of the impeller, elimina ng impeller thrust loading and is ideally suited for tank cleaning. Fast Flow is the only known centrifugal pump that does not have any mechanical seals and has no internal fric on.
•Ensure the hydraulic motor and hose couplings are free of blockage, have not been damaged, and properly match. •Contact Fast Flow Pumps or an approved service provider if any system component appears to be damaged, defec ve, or incomplete. Hose Installa on •Connect the hoses from the power source-connect the return hose first, when turning off...
Fluid Power System | Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) •Follow any warning s ckers and instruc onal s ckers on the HPU, as well as reading the manual. •Ensure the HPU has a flow of 4-28 GPM (15-106LPM) @ 2250-3300 PSI (155-227 Bar) and make sure the system opera ng pressure is set between 1500 PSI to 3000PSI (103-206 Bar.) The normal pressure for most applica ons is 2800 PSI.
Hydraulic Connec ons 1. Clean the ma ng surface of the couplings to avoid contamina ng the circuit. 2. Pull the connec on sleeve of the female coupling forward 3. Align the female and male coupling holding the connec on sleeve and thread together and turning the sleeve.
Dry Run Spin Test The FF-3D-TM-TCP is capable of Running Dry for extended periods of time, and it is best practice to perform a run dry test before using the pump. To perform this test, first double check that all hydraulic couplings are fully tightened, then connect the hydraulic system and run the FF 3D pump dry with varying speeds for 1-2 minutes.
Shutdown and Disassembly Shut Down •Slowly shut down the power unit, star ng/stopping fluid flow suddenly can cause damage to the pump and motor seals. In case of Emergency, you can use the emergency shutdown on the hydraulic power unit. Pull handle to close the air inlet to engine.
