SERVICE AND OPERATING MANUAL

Model SLUDGEMASTER

MSMA3-A

Read these safety

warnings and

instructions in this

manual completely,

before installation and start-up of the pump.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to

retain this manual for reference. Failure to

comply with the recommendations stated

in this manual will damage the pump, and

void factory warranty.

IMPORTANT

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This pump has been tested prior to shipment from factory. The oil reservoir has been

partially ﬁ lled at testing with air motor lubricant and should be completely ﬁ lled before

operation. When reservoir is full, the pump will not require reﬁ lling for approximately

50 hours of use. (See Lubrication Instructions.)

OPERATION

Your SludgeMaster is equipped with a mufﬂ er located at side of unit. Air exhaust

port is located at top of mufﬂ er and a ¾" NPT thread is provided to extend exhaust

port above liquid being pumped. Exhaust port must be extended above liquid to

prevent liquid and foreign material from entering air motor when not in opera-

tion. This can be done with a standard pipe, rigid plastic pipe, or hose as desired.

Connect air supply to air inlet ﬁ tting and submerge into liquid to be pumped. Unit

requires 70 CFM maximum at 80 PSI (5.51 bar) air pressure. Operation at pressures

in excess of 120 PSI (8.27 bar) is not recommended.

When handling liquid with large stones or similar solid objects, it is desirable to

run unit at full speed. This provides greater inertia for handling heavy foreign objects

without stoppage due to lodging between impeller and pump casing.

Should a foreign object lodge and prevent pump from rotating, insert a rod or bar

through hole provided at bottom of strainer into impeller vanes and bump impeller

backwards (clockwise facing strainer end) until free. Strainer can be removed when

necessary; however, this normally will not be required.

LUBRICATION

The only regular servicing required is maintaining oil reservoir which is just

as important on this unit for proper lubrication as the oil supply is for an engine.

A one quart capacity oil reservoir is provided for bearing and shaft seal lubrication and

provides oil for automatic air motor lubricator. Five drops of oil per minute is automati-

cally dispensed into air stream for continuous air motor lubrication and to prevent rust

formation due to moisture which is present in any air supply. Check and reﬁ ll reservoir

to oil ﬁ ll plug level regularly with Shell TELLUS

T Oil 32 Premium Multigrade AW

Hydraulic Oil air motor lubricant, or an equivalent lightweight oil with rust inhibitor.

The automatic oiler will consume approximately 1 pint (473 cc) of oil in 50 hours of

operation. Oil reservoir should be completely drained and reﬁ lled after approximately

100 hours operation to remove accumulated moisture.

It is beneﬁ cial to pour a little oil into air inlet connection and run for a few minutes

before storing for long periods.

This unit is not harmed by running without liquid.

DISASSEMBLY

Remove upper row of six bolts and lift off air motor and upper housing assembly.

Filter element and ﬁ lter housing are now exposed and can be removed. Lower half

of jaw type coupling is threaded on pump shaft and is removed by inserting drift pin

through hole in shaft to prevent rotation while turning coupling counterclockwise with

pipe wrench. DO NOT USE JAWS OF COUPLING TO LOOSEN AS THEY CAN BE

BROKEN.

Remove spacer (item 25 on Repair Parts List) from shaft and remove governor

housing assembly by lifting with screwdriver from each side. This is done by inserting

screwdriver under male connectors (see Figure 1) and prying down on intermediate

housing. Intermediate housing can now be removed by removing lower row of six

bolts.
