4. Tighten the two (2) set screws (Item #25) on the motor shaft to 7.9
N•m (70 in•lbs).
5. Now install motor adapter bolts and washers (Items #12,19) and
tighten securely.
6. Verify back of impeller is not touching the housing cover by looking
into the discharge of the pump.
7. Reinstall protective shroud back onto the motor adapter.
8. Install pump according to installation instructions.
INSTALLATION
MOuNTINg
Motor or base plate must be securely fastened.
PIPINg
• Always support the piping near the pump to minimize stress and
strain on the pump’s casing.
• Minimize frictional losses by increasing the piping size by one
diameter.
• Use a minimal number of bends, keeping any bends at least a
distance of ten pipe diameters away from the pump.
• Install valves on the suction and discharge lines. Place the valves
within a minimum distance of ten pipe diameters away from the
pump.
• Ensure that the piping is leak free.
• Position the pump as close to the liquid source as possible.
• Maintain a flooded suction at all times.
PuMPS wITh COOLINg (PreSSure) COLLArS
A cooling collar provides a water flush to the pump’s seal. This is
necessary when pumping hot liquids or liquids that tend to build up or
crystallize around the seal faces. If your pump is supplied with a cool-
ing collar, proper water flow and pressure are critical to the operation
of the pump.
1. Plumb a water supply to the cooling collar. Use the 1/8” NPT
threaded holes for the water inlet and drain lines. Either hard pipe
or flexible tubing is suitable.
2. Adjust the water flow and pressure of the flush/cooling water
BEFORE starting the pump.
• For pumps with bellows or multi-spring seals, supply
one to two gallons water flow per hour at 1 - 2 psi.
• For pumps with a double seal, supply one to two
gallons water flow per hour at 5 - 10 psi ABOVE the dis-
charge pressure of the pump.
CAuTIONS:
1) Never run a pump equipped with a cooling collar without
a proper water supply. Doing so will result in damage to
the pump. Use of a flow switch is recommended.
2) Do not over pressurize the cooling collar’s water supply.
Doing so can result in damage to pump components.
PuMPS wITh MOTOr
No assembly required. Simply unpack the pump and motor and
examine for any shipping damage. If damage is detected, save the
packaging and notify the carrier immediately.
Remove the shipping plugs from the suction and discharge of the
pump and proceed to the “Installation Requirements” section of these
instructions.
PuMPS wIThOuT MOTOrS
184JM MOTOr AdAPTer (STANdArd)
1. Unpack the pump and examine for any shipping damage. If damage
is detected, save the packaging and notify the carrier immediately.
2. Prepare to install the pump onto the motor.
a. Remove the protective shroud (Item #22) from the
Motor Adapter (item #6).
b. Install key (provided) on keyway of motor and coat with anti-
seize.
3. Align pump impeller shaft with the motor shaft and key, then push
pump onto the motor.
4. Pull the socket head bolt, impeller cap and impeller cap o-ring
(Items #4, 13, 16) from the hardware bag.
a. Install the socket head bolt through the suction of the pump with
a 5/16" hex key. Coat threads of socket head bolt with anti-seize
and tighten in a clockwise rotation. It may be necessary to hold
the motor fan blade with a screwdriver to keep motor shaft from
turning.
b. Install the impeller cap and impeller cap o-ring using a large flat
head screwdriver in a clockwise rotation.
IMPOrTANT: Do not cross thread impeller cap or leakage could
occur.
5. Now install motor adapter bolts and washers (Items #12,19) and
tighten securely.
6. Verify back of impeller is not touching the housing cover by looking
into the discharge of the pump.
7. Reinstall protective shroud back onto the motor adapter.
8. Install pump according to installation instructions.

1. Unpack the pump and examine for shipping damage. If damage is
detected, save the packaging and notify the carrier immediately.
2. Prepare to install the pump onto the motor.
a. Remove the protective shroud (Item #22) from the motor adapter
(item #6).
b. Install key (provided) on keyway of motor and coat with anti-
seize.
3. Align pump impeller shaft with the motor shaft and key, then push
pump onto the motor until it bottoms out.
