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 series pumps. 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, flow 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; operated and/or 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. If 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™ only) 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. 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
