General Safety Information
(continuted)
All positive displacement plunger
pumps must have a safety relief valve
installed on the discharge side of the
pump, this valve could be either an
unloader or regulator and must be of
adequate flow and pressure for the
pump. (This pump has an unloader
already built in).
Adequate protective guards must
cover all moving parts. Perform
routine maintenance on the pump and
components.
Use only components that are rated
for the flow and pressure of the pump,
this would include hose, fittings, safety
valves, spray guns etc.
Special Features
Wet End
Manifold: Forged Brass: Strength
and no porosity - long life. Higher
hydrostatic pressures - safety. Unloader:
Integral trap pressure, fixed chemical
injector. Simple repair using a cartridge
replacement kit. Bolts: Three bolts,
6mm grade 8.8.
Valves: Ultra Form Cages: Durable,
strong, and long life. Poppets and
Spring: 303 series stainless steel. Valve
Seat: Brass with an external sealing o-
ring on both inlet and discharge valves.
Valve Caps: Machined brass for greater
strength.
Packing and Plungers: Dual seal
system. High Pressure Packing and
Low-Pressure Seals: “U” cup double
lip Buna-N for a good positive seat.
Support and Guides: Special anti-wear
plastic, 1-piece construction to assure
proper plunger alignment, maximize
packing and seal life and prevent
plunger wear and damage. Plungers:
Solid hardened stainless steel, strong
and durable.
Drive End
Bearings: Oversized ball bearing
stabilizes the crankshaft and one needle
style thrust bearing absorbs the plunger
load and assures long radial plate life.
Crankcase: Precision die-cast, with
cooling fins for maximum heat
dissipation. The housing retains the
crankshaft bearing, oil seal and rear
wobble plate bearing support washer.
Crankshaft/Wobble Plate: Precision
die-cat to assure proper stroke, duration
and alignment.
Oil Seals and O-rings: All are
constructed of Buna-N rubber. The oil
seals have stainless steel garder springs
to assure constant tension on the
sealing surface.
Oil Capacity: 2.2 oz.
Ports: Inlet Port: Is supplied with a

with inlet strainer. Discharge Port:
Is supplied with 3/8”M connection.
Accessory Ports: All models have a
1/4”F port on the inlet side of the
manifold.
Extra Features
Dyno Proven: All pumps are dyno
tested to assure the theoretical design
meets the actual design.
Valve Design: Each pump series has a
valve design that optimizes its highest
efficiency.
Wet End Repair: Very simple no
special tools required.
Design: Using advanced fluid handling
design programs. Overall pump
efficiency is increased.
