INSTRUCTION BULLETIN

MP CHEMFLO CENTRIFUGAL PUMPAK

MODEL: CHEMFLO 5, 6, 7, 8

READ THIS BULLETIN CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE

PUMPAK

It is important that this instruction bulletin be

read over carefully to fully familiarize yourself

with the PUMPAK assembly arrangement. The

instructions contained in this bulletin pertain to

the installation and maintenance of the PUMPAK

assembly only.

Check the PUMPAK over carefully to make

certain that no parts are missing or broken in

shipment. CAUTION: Do not disturb the

assembly shim at the suction opening of the

pump housing until AFTER the PUMPAK has

been completely assembled to the driver.

Packed separately with each unit are instructions

bulletin, parts list, and literature describing the

PUMPAK.

CONTRUCTION:

The PUMPAK consists of a stainless steel

housing, seal housing motor adaptor, shaft

sleeve, shaft seal, impeller nut, drive clamp, o-

ring, and stainless steel fasteners.

The impeller is screwed onto the shaft sleeve.

The impeller nut secures the impeller on the

sleeve. The shaft sleeve is machined to precisely

fit the shaft on your driver, No provision is made

for an internal drive key and none is required.

The drive clamp assembly takes the place of

internal drive keys, securely locks the shaft

sleeve to the driver shaft, and serves additionally

as a liquid slinger to protect you motor.

The mechanical seal is the self-adjusting,

greaseless type, being lubricated by the liquid in

the pump. It requires no maintenance and

provides long and trouble-free operation.

Because the seal is lubricated by the liquid in the

pump,

THE PUMP SHOULD NEVER BE

OPERATED WITHOUT LIQUID IN THE

HOUSING.

In freezing weather, the pump should always be

drained of liquid unless sufficient anti-freeze

solution is in the system.

MOUNTING PUMPAK TO DRIVER:

ROTATION:

Check rotation of driver to be sure in coincides

with the required rotation of the PUMPAK

assembly. When viewed from the driver end

PUMPAK

rotation

is

Right

Hand

(CLOCKWISE).

Loosen the drive clamp fasteners but do not

remove.

NOTE: If driver shaft is a keyed shaft,

remove the key before installing the MP

PUMPAK. The drive clamp assembly on the MP

PUMPAK is all that is required to drive the

pump. Slide PUMPAK assembly onto the driver

shaft, aligning capscrew holes in adaptor with the

tapped holes in the driver mounting face, until

adaptor contacts the mounting face.

Install fasteners and tighten to secure PUMPAK

assembly to driver, First center, then tighten

drive clamp assembly to lock shaft sleeve onto

driver shaft.

After all fasteners are tight, including drive

clamp assembly, remove the strip stock shim

from the suction eye of the pump housing. This

shim was inserted to establish clearance between

the face of the impeller and pump housing.

Rotate driver slowly by hand to make certain the

impeller does not rub or hit the housing or

adaptor.

If the impeller is rubbing, this means the shim

was displaced during shipment or handling.
