INSTALLATION
Hydraulic Drive
Pump sizes 1.5” – 3” may also be driven hydraulically.
Hydraulic motors need to be well supported with their shafts
parallel to the pump shaft in all respects. Blackmer provides
an optional close-coupled hydraulic motor adapter. The
adapter provides for straight alignment of a hydraulic motor
drive through a solid coupling connected to a straight key
shaft. This coupling connection requires grease lubrication
every three months at minimum. Refer to the "Lubrication"
section of this manual.

PUMP ROTATION
NOTICE:
Confirm correct pump rotation by checking the pump
rotation arrows respective to pump driver rotation.
TO CHANGE PUMP ROTATION
TXD Models
The TXD pump models are equipped with a double ended
rotor and shaft, enabling them to be driven from either shaft
end. To change rotation, rotate the pump 180 degrees so that
the opposite shaft becomes the driven shaft. On TXD pump
models, the shaft protector (186) MUST be mounted over the
non-driven shaft end.
Operation without shaft protector can
cause serious personal injury, major
property damage, or death.
Do not operate
without guard
in place
TX1.5, TX4 Models
To reverse rotation, the pump must be disassembled then
reassembled with the shaft on the opposite side of the pump.
See the ‘Maintenance’ section for instructions.
