"Intermittent Duty" is defined as: operated and/or frequent-

ly 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.

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.

DO NOT assume fluid compatibility. If the fluid is improp-

erly matched to the pump’s elastomers, a leak may occur.

Pumps used to transfer hazardous or hot (max. tempera-

ture 120°F [49°C] viton only) chemicals must be in a

vented area to guard against the possibility of injury due

to harmful or explosive liquid/vapors.

DO NOT operate the pump at pressures which cause the

motor to exceed the amperes rating indicated on the name

plate. Various pump models are equipped with thermal

breakers to interrupt operation due to excessive heat.

Once the temperature of the motor is within proper limits,

it will automatically reset, and the pump will start

operation without warning.

To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before

initiating any work. In the case of pump failure, the motor

housing and/or the pumped fluid may carry high voltage to

components normally considered safe.

Description

Form 911-1051

SHURflo offers various pump models for different applications. The information

outlined by this manual is general and not specific to all 5059 series pumps.

Be certain the pump’s materials will be compatible with the fluid being pumped.

The 5059 series pumps are intended for intermittent or continuous duty when

the proper operating criteria are met. Product data sheets outlining specific

thermal limits, load, flow curves, and other technical information for a particular

model are available. If unsure of the chemical compatibility with a given elas-

tomer or the motors intended design, please call SHURflo for assistance.

General Safety Information

Notes are used to notify of installation, operation, or

maintenance information that is important but not safety

related.

Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard,

which will or may cause minor injury or property damage

if the notice is ignored.

Warning denotes that a potential hazard exists and indi-

cates procedures that must be followed exactly to either

eliminate or reduce the hazard, and to avoid serious

personal injury, or prevent future safety problems with the

product.

Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that

will result in severe personal injury, death, or property

damage if the notice is ignored.

Hazardous Substance Alert

1. Always drain and flush pump before servicing or disassem-

bling for any reason (see instructions).

2. Always drain and flush pump prior to returning unit for repair.

3. Never store pumps containing hazardous chemicals.

4. Before returning pump for service/repair, drain out all liquids

and flush unit with neutralizing liquid. Then, drain the pump.

Pressure Switch Operation The pressure switch reacts to outlet pressure and interrupts power at the preset shut-off pressure indicated on the pump label. When outlet pressure drops below a predetermined limit (typically 15-20 psi [1-1.4 bar] less than the shut-off pressure), the switch will close and the pump will operate until the shut-off (high) pressure is achieved. The shut-off pressure is set to factory calibrated standards. See the motor label for specific pump specifications.

Electrical trip, or can result in premature motor or switch failure due to excessive heat. Electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with all local electrical codes. For the pump to meet U.L./C-UL requirements, the circuit MUST be protected with a slow-blow fuse (U.L./C-UL certified) or equivalent circuit breaker as indicated on the motor label. Use an approved wire of the size specified or heavier.

Service Kits Kits are readily available to repair standard 5059 series pumps. Repair kits include simple illustrated instructions allowing easy installation. To ensure that the correct kit is received, the model number and all name plate data must be included with the order. Contact a Hypro/SHURflo distributor or Hypro/SHURflo directly to order the necessary repair kit.
