4.2 Connecting to Power Take-Off (PTO)

Connect the pump to your equipment's PTO using a torque bar and chain. The pump features a 15/16” solid shaft. The standard rotation is Counter-Clockwise (CCW). Ensure correct alignment and secure connection to prevent damage.

4.3 Conexiones de fontanería

The pump has 1” NPT (female) port sizes for both inlet and outlet. Use appropriate plumbing fittings and sealants to ensure leak-free connections. Always use a suction hose that is adequately sized and reinforced to prevent collapse under vacuum.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

Follow these guidelines for safe and effective operation of your Delavan 8900C pump.

Cebado: Ensure the pump is adequately primed before starting. Operating a roller pump dry can cause rapid wear and damage.
Velocidad de operacion: Do not exceed the maximum operating speed of 1,000 RPM. Monitor your PTO speed to stay within this limit.
Control de presión: The maximum operating pressure is 150 PSI. Use a pressure regulator or bypass valve to control system pressure and prevent over-pressurization.
Temperatura: The maximum recommended fluid temperature is 140°F (60°C). Operating above this temperature can reduce pump life.
Compatibilidad de fluidos: Ensure the fluid being pumped is compatible with cast iron, Viton seals, and stainless steel components.

6. Mantenimiento

El mantenimiento regular prolonga la vida útil de su bomba y garantiza un rendimiento óptimo.

6.1 Reemplazo de rodillos

The Delavan 8900C is designed for quick roller replacement, typically taking about 3 minutes. Refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions for detailed steps on how to access and replace the "Ultra" rollers. Timely replacement of worn rollers is essential for maintaining pump efficiency and pressure.

6.2 Lubricación de cojinetes

The pump features permanently-lubricated, heavy-duty sealed bearings, which generally do not require additional lubrication under normal operating conditions.

6.3 Preparación para el invierno y almacenamiento

Before storing the pump for extended periods, especially in freezing temperatures, it is critical to drain all water and flush the pump with a suitable anti-freeze solution or light oil. The pump may feature a drain plug (often 1/4") for this purpose. After draining, circulate a small amount of motor oil through the pump to coat internal components and prevent corrosion.

7. Solución de problemas

Esta sección aborda problemas comunes que puede encontrar con su bomba.

Problema	Posible causa	Solución
Pump does not build pressure or low pressure.	Worn rollers. Fuga de aire en la línea de succión. Clogged inlet screen or hose. Incorrect operating speed. Bomba no cebada.	Inspect and replace rollers if worn. Compruebe que todas las conexiones de succión estén bien apretadas. Clean inlet screen and ensure hose is clear. Verify PTO speed is within specifications (1000 RPM max). Ensure pump is properly primed before starting.
Fugas en la bomba.	Herrajes sueltos. Damaged seals (Viton seal rings, shaft seals). Cracked housing (unlikely with cast iron, but possible from impact).	Apriete todas las conexiones de plomería. Inspect and replace damaged seals. Inspect pump housing for visible damage.
Pump operates in reverse.	PTO rotation is opposite to pump's standard CCW rotation.	If possible, reverse PTO rotation. Otherwise, switch inlet and outlet connections on the pump to accommodate reverse flow.
