Safety
1. Introduction
This manual contains all the information needed for the correct installation, use and maintenance of your new Finish Thompson
pump. It should be read and understood by all the personnel involved in installation, operating and servicing of the pump before
it is started.
2. Operator Qualification and Training
The personnel in charge of the installation, the operation, and the maintenance of the pump must be qualified and able to per-
form the operations described in this manual. Finish Thompson, Inc. shall not be held responsible for the training level of
personnel and for the fact that they are not fully aware of the contents of this manual.
3. Safety Instructions
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
BEFORE using or servicing your pump, please make sure to wear the proper clothing, eye protection and follow standard safety
procedures when handling corrosive or personally harmful materials.
GENERAL DANGER
NEVER use a plastic pump or an open, splash-proof, TEFC or non-ATEX motor when pumping or mixing flammable or combus-
tible material.
ALWAYS use and store the pump and motor in an upright position.
DANGER: POWER SUPPLY
Refer to instructions in the appropriate motor Operation & Installation Manual.
4. Noise Level
Refer to specifications in the appropriate motor Operation & Installation Manual.
5. Modifications and Spare Parts
Any changes concerning the service of the pump as originally purchased can be executed only after written approval from
Finish Thompson Inc. It is recommended to use only genuine Finish Thompson Inc. spare parts and approved accessories. The
use of non-original spare parts or non-approved accessories will void warranty and removes any responsibility on the manufac-
turer’s behalf for any damage caused to people or things.
6. Cleaning
It is highly recommended to flush pumps with clean water or some other neutralizing fluid compatible with pump materials
when done pumping or when switching chemicals.

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
1. Remove the drum pump from its packaging and inspect for shipping damage.
2. Turn the pump coupling to verify there is no binding.
3. Verify the housing cover (item 16) is on tight (it has a left hand thread).
4. Adjust the coupling so that the empty slots in the insert are at 3 and 9 o’clock with the pump dis-
charge at 12 o’clock.
5. Install the motor onto the drum pump per the installation instructions from the Operation & Installation
Manual of the specific motor model.
Note: Pumps with the standard 1” barb spout include a variable orifice fitting, which initially limits the flow of the
pump to 10 gpm. As it is cut away, flow will increase from 10 gpm up to maximum flow (to increase flow,
simply trim back orifice). Orifice steps control flow as follows: Step 1 = 10 gpm, Step 2 = 20 gpm, Step 3 = 30
gpm, Step 4 (maximum opening) = maximum flow (see Fig. 1).

Step 1
Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
Note: ALWAYS use a 1” I.D. hose properly secured to the barb spout using a hose clamp.
Maintenance
Disassembly
1. Remove the housing cover (item 16) by turning it clockwise (left hand thread) while gripping the impeller
housing (item 14).
2. Turn the impeller until a hole in the shaft can be seen through the square slot in the impeller housing (item
14), and insert 3/32 pin into the hole. Holding the pin, turn the impeller (item 15) counterclockwise (right-
hand thread) and remove it.
3. Remove the impeller housing (item 14) by gripping the intake tube and spinning the housing clockwise
(left hand thread). Re-insert the 3/32 pin and while gripping the pump coupling unthread (counterclock-
wise) and remove the shaft (item 4) from the bearing assembly (item 3).
4. Place the pump head (item 6) in a vise (do not crush) and remove the intake tube (item 7) by unthreading
clockwise (left hand thread). Remove the inner upper (item 10) and shaft sleeve (item 8) from the head.
Remove the bearing assembly (item 3) and the FKM lip seal (item 5) from the head.
5. Remove the center support (item 11) from the innter tube (item 10).

Inspection
1. Check the housing cover (item 16), the impeller (item 15), and the impeller housing (item 14) for wear, rub-
bing, or damage from foreign objects. Replace if damaged.
Note: The double impeller design of this pump is dependant on the impeller working correctly. Any damage
to the impeller can cause pump failure.
2. Inspect the pump shaft (item 4) for wear in the bottom (item 12), and the FKM lip seal (item 5) areas. Re-
place the shaft if needed.
3. Inspect the bottom bearing (item 12) and the shaft sleeve (item 8) for internal wear. Inspect all o-rings (items
9, 13, & 17) for nicks or chemical attack. Replace as needed.
4. Inspect the bearing assembly (item 3) for rust or corrosion. Never reuse the lip seal (item 5).
Reassembly
1. Install new lip seal (item 5) into the pump head (item 6) with the grooved side facing the bottom of the
pump.
2. Thread the shaft (item 4) into the bearing assembly (item 3) with the 3/32 hole in the shaft on the other end.
Carefully insert the shaft straight through the vapor seal (to avoid seal damage) from the top and seat the
bearing assembly (item 3) into the pump head (item 6).
3. If o-rings are replaced: Install 2 upper inner tube o-rings (items 9), and install the impeller housing o-ring
(item 13) inside the top of the housing (item 14). Apply a small amount of Vaseline to the o-rings to aid in
assembly. Install the center support (item 11) onto the inner tube (item 10).
4. Slide the inner tube (item 10) up the shaft and into the counter bore in the bottom of the head. Slide the shaft
sleeve (item 8) up inside the inner tube. Slide the intake tube up from the bottom, centering the center sup-
port, and thread it (left hand thread) into the head (item 6).
5. Gripping the coupling (item 7) at the top of the pump, thread the impeller on (right hand thread). Install the
housing cover (left hand thread). Turn the coupling to verify there is no binding inside the pump.
