INDUSTRIAL PUMP 8000 SERIES
Installation and Operation Manual
SHURflo offers various pump models for different applications. The
information outlined by this manual is general, and not specific to all 8000
Be certain the pumps' materials will be compatible with the
fluid being pumped. 8000 series pumps are intended for intermittent or
continuous duty when the proper operating criteria is met. Product Data
Sheets outlining specific thermal limits, load, flo
w curves, and other technical
information for a particular model are available. If unsure of the chemical
compatibility with a given elastomer or the motors intended design, please
call SHURflo for assistance.
CAUTION: "Intermittent Duty" is defined as; o
frequently started within a period of time that would cause the motor to
reach its maximum thermal limits. Once the maximum thermal limit is
obtained, the motor must be allowed to return to ambient temperature
before resuming operation.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use to pump flammable liquids. Never operate
the pump in an explosive environment. Arcing from the motor brushes,
switch or excessive heat from an improperly cycled motor may cause an
explosion.
CAUTION
: DO NOT assume fluid compatibility. I
f the fluid is improperly
matched to the pumps' elastomers, a leak may occur. Pumps used to
transfer hazardous or hot (max. temperature 170°F [76°C] Viton™
chemicals must be in a vented area to guard against the possibility of injury
due to harmful or explosive liquid/vapors.
CAUTION: DO NOT
operate the pump at pressures which cause the motor
to exceed the amperes rating indicated on the name plate.
models are equipped with thermal breakers to interrupt operation due to
excessive heat. Once the temperature of the motor is within proper limits it
