HALE FYR PORT PUMP MODEL: 20FP-C8FR/C8SK OPERATION AND INSTRUCTION MANUAL ENGINE DRIVEN, PORTABLE CENTRIFUGAL PUMPING UNIT INTRODUCTION PURPOSE: This operation and instruction manual is published to guide and assist in the installation, operation, lubrication, maintenance and repair of the Hale FYR PORT pumping unit. The installer and operator should understand this manual and the engine manufacturers operating manual before attempting to install or operate the unit.
DESCRIPTION GENERAL: The FYR PORT is a lightweight, portable, centrifugal pump mounted either on skids or in a wraparound frame. The pumping unit consists of a Hale 20FP single stage centrifugal pump close coupled to an air cooled, 2 cycle, single cylinder, gasoline engine. The unit includes an automatic rewind starter, a spark arresting muffler, engine overspeed control switch, priming pump and priming valve. It is intended for pumping water from draft, relay, or hydrant.
MOUNTING BASE: The mounting base is an intermediate part to which the engine is attached with three shock-vibration isolation mounts. The base is then attached to the two skids. The mounting base has the overspeed control switch, priming pump mounting clamps (skid version) and Hale nameplate attached to it. OVERSPEED CONTROL: The overspeed switch control assembly is a safeguard against overspeeding of the engine. The overspeed switch is attached to the mounting base of pumping unit below the carburetor.
PREPARATION INSPECTION OF NEW UNIT: When unpacking unit do not discard cushioning materials, carton, or case until you are certain everything is correct. Inspect carefully; perfect condition of the outside shipping container does not guarantee undamaged contents. Check for loose, missing, or damaged parts. Also, check the packing slip for any additional parts. After inspection proves satisfactory discard all shipping material in a proper manner.
In-Line Fuel Filter: Provides primary fuel filtering for engine. Nozzle Plate: Riveted to the engine fan housing, directs air pressure to flexible transparent hose and overspeed control. Overspeed Control: For description refer to DESCRIPTION - OVERSPEED CONTROL, page 3. Starting Handle: Pull to start. Throttle Lever: Varies the speed of the engine. (Pull up to increase speed). Do not force the lever against the stops. Fuel Line Connector (Skid Version): Connect the fuel line from the fuel caddie here.
PRIME PUMP: It is recommended that the pump be primed before starting the engine. a) PRIMING PROCEDURE: 1. The discharge must be closed either with a discharge valve, shut-off nozzle or by pinching the discharge hose (use a pinch clamp if available). 2. Open priming valve. 3. Operate priming pump until water is discharged from priming pump. 4. Close priming valve. 5. Start engine. See starting procedure. 6. Slowly open discharge valve until a steady stream is discharged. 7.
5. Move ignition switch to ON position. 6. Place foot on frame or skid to prevent movement. 7. Pull the starting handle slowly to bleed off some compression; then, pull with a quick short stroke. Repeat as necessary. 8. When engine starts, slowly open choke. 9. Slowly open discharge valve. 10. Set throttle to desired operating point. NOTE: When operating from draft, especially on high lifts, do not increase engine speed without a corresponding increase in pump pressure.
WARNING: Prevent accidental starting by always removing spark plug or by disconnecting and grounding spark plug wire before working on engine or pump. NOTE: Replace the spark plug or wire only after all preparation is completed on both pump and engine. 1. Fuel System: If the unit is to be stored for any length of time, drain the fuel system by running until it stops as instructed in STOPPING PROCEDURE. The wraparound frame unit can be run until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel. 2.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE FUEL AND LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS: GASOLINE: Use clean, fresh, regular grade leaded or low lead type. When regular or low-lead is unavailable an unleaded type fuel may be used; however, it should be limited to emergency use only. Oil must be mixed with the gasoline, refer to fuel mixture below. OIL: Use a good quality outboard motor oil or equivalent. The oil should meet the Boating Institute of America (BIA) classification type TC-W.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: 1. DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA. Be sure the area is well ventilated. 2. Stay away from moving parts. Avoid wearing loose jackets, shirts and ties. 3. Keep the equipment and surrounding area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents. 4. Keep power shields and guards in place. Do not make adjustments and repairs while the engine is running, unless specified for in repairs. 5. Do not run the pump more than two min. without water in pump. 6.
Monthly or Every 25 Hours: 1. Expanded aluminum foil element: Clean as follows. Note: Service air cleaner more often under dusty conditions. a) Remove (2) screws and washers so foil element and end plates can be removed. b) Wash foil element in kerosene or liquid detergent and water. c) Dry foil element by shaking out excess water. Use compressed air if available. d) Install foil element, end plates, screws and washers on carburetor. 2. Spark Plug: Clean and regap at .030 inch (.8 mm).
Seasonal or as Required: 1. Engine cooling system: Clean the starter screen, flywheel (fan), and engine cooling fins. Foreign matter may clog cooling system after prolonged service. Continued operation with a clogged cooling system causes severe overheating and possible engine damage. a) Remove the four screws that fasten the fan housing to the sheet metal cylinder cover. b) Remove the flexible transparent hose from nozzle plate and the spark plug wire from spark plug.
a) Assembly is the reverse of the removal procedure above 5. Repair or replacement of any Components in Pump: (Replacing Mechanical Seal) a) Remove pump/engine assembly from mounting base. Refer to item 3, Removal of Pump/Engine Assembly b) Remove the four screws that fasten the volute body to the pump head. Remove the volute body. c) Remove the impeller retaining screw and washer. ATTENTION: The impeller screw is left hand thread.
e) With impeller removed, remove the impeller key. f) Remove the spring and carbon section (sealing washer) of mechanical seal from engine crankshaft sleeve. Observe the ceramic seal seat and carbon sealing washer. If they are scored or lip on the sealing washer is worn or cracked, replace complete assembly. g) If further disassembly is required beyond mechanical seal replacement, remove the four 5/16-18 X 2 1/2 lg. screws and 5/16 flat brass washers that fasten pump head to engine.
g) Coat end of shaft and impeller with thin layer of gasket sealer. h) Coat the threads of a new impeller screw (018-9350-00) with a thread locking adhesive (Loctite 242 or equal). i) Mount impeller washer (097-0381-00) and impeller screw, torque impeller screw to loft./lbs. ATTENTION: The impeller screw is left hand thread. If impeller clearance ring requires replacement, proceed with the following steps. However, if impeller clearance ring is in good condition proceed to step M.
