Page 3: Introduction
CONDITIONS AND TERMS OF SALE ........................22 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Pioneer PB Series Self-Priming centrifugal pump, complete with integral suction check valve. The pump is designed for handling non-volatile, non-flammable, mild industrial corrosives, residues and slurries containing large entrained solids. -

RMA number on file will be scrapped upon arrival. SAFETY INFORMATION These warnings apply to PB Series basic pumps. In many cases, Pioneer Pump, inc. has no control over or particular knowledge of the power source that will be used. Therefore, refer to the manual accompanying the power source before attempting to begin operation. -
Page 5: Installation
Remove suction and discharge piping from pump prior to moving. Use lifting and moving equipment with adequate capacity and in good repair. INSTALLATION Use the following guidelines when installing your new PB Series Self Priming Pump. WARNING!!! Review safety information in safety information section. This section is intended to outline general recommendations and practices required to position and arrange the pump and piping in static lift situations. -
Page 6: Leveling
If the pump is to be mounted on a steel frame, or similar structure, it should be set directly over the supporting beams. These beams and the structure must be rigid enough to prevent distortion and potential misalignment due to movement within the structure or base. The location of this structure should be as close as possible to the pumpage source. -
Page 7: Discharge Piping
The suction and discharge pipe/hose material should be compatible with the liquid being pumped. CAUTION!!! If hose is used on the suction line it should be of the reinforced type to prevent collapse under suction lift. DANGER!!! If a manual shut-off valve is installed in the discharge line, it must not be left closed during operation, a closed manual shut off valve will cause overheating and possible explosive rupture of the pump casing. -
Page 8: Lifting
SUBMERGENCE WITHOUT BELL (FT) PIPE ID (in)- No Bell SUBMERGENCE WITHOUT BELL (FT) LIFTING Any lifting equipment is to be rated for at least five (5) times the weight of the item being lifted. Use only established methods when lifting or moving any heavy components. ALIGNMENT OF PUMP AND MOTOR Precise alignment is mandatory to achieve correct performance of the system. -
Page 9: Lubrication
WARNING!!! This pump is designed to handle most non-volatile, non-flammable liquids containing specified entrained solids and corrosives. Do not attempt to pump volatile, corrosive, or flammable liquids that may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure. CAUTION!!! Pump speed and operating condition points must be within the continuous performance range shown on the Performance Curve in the separate Part List Manual for your specific pump... -
Page 10: Operation Of Engine Driven Units
Do not attempt to operate the pump unless all connecting piping, fill plug and other fittings are securely installed, failure to do so, could cause liquid pumped to be forced out under pressure causing injury to personnel. WARNING!!! Never run the pump with the discharge valve closed for extended periods of time. Never use the suction valve to throttle the flow. -
Page 11: Liquid Temperature And Overheating
Operation Open all valves in the discharge line and start the power source. Priming is indicated by a positive reading on the discharge pressure gauge or by a quieter operation. The pump may not prime immediately because the suction line must first fill with liquid. If the pump fails to prime within five minutes, stop it and check the suction line for leaks. -

Page 15: Rotating Assembly
ROTATING ASSEMBLY The power source must be removed prior to removing the rotating assembly. Drain the oil in the seal cavity by removing the seal cavity drain plug. Clean and replace the drain plug after draining seal cavity of oil. Remove the four (4) nuts on studs of the volute, and use the jackscrews to remove the rotating assembly from the volute. -

screw if necessary. Use the impeller removal tool to fix the shaft from rotating, and use a metal bar or piece of wood to rotate the impeller counter-clockwise until it is free of the shaft. It may be necessary to pound the bar with a hammer to loosen the impeller. Inspect the impeller and replace as necessary. - Page 17 SHAFT AND BEARING With the mechanical seal removed, remove the bearing housing drain plug located on the front bottom left of the bearing frame (figure 4), and drain oil. Clean plug and reinstall in housing. Remove fasteners, and slide the bearing cap/SAE bracket and grease seal off the shaft.
- Page 18 If bearings are to be replaced, then the bearings may be heated to 250º F for ease of installation. An induction heater, electric oven or hot plate may be used to heat the bearings. Never use direct flame to heat bearings. After heating the bearings slide the bearings on the appropriate shaft end.

IMPELLER The shaft and impeller threads must be completely clean before re-installing the impeller. Apply anti-seize compound to the external shaft threads. Do not use anti- seize compounds on the lockscrew threads! Screw the impeller onto the shaft until tight. A clearance of .025 to .035 between the impeller and the seal plate is recommended for optimum pump efficiency. -
Page 20: Lubrication
LUBRICATION Proper lubrication is essential to maintain performance and to help ensure trouble free operation. Seal Assembly Prior to starting the pump, remove the seal vent plug and fill the seal cavity with approximately 1 quart of ISO VG 32 viscosity grade 32 Turbine oil, so that the oil level is halfway in the level sight gauge. - Page 21 Symptom Possible Causes Symptom Possible Causes No Discharge 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,17,18,19,20, Vibration and noise 2,4,9,10,14,15,17,26,27,28,29 37,49 30,31,32,33,34,35,36,39,40, 41,42,43,44,48,49 Reduced Capacity 2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,17,19,20,21,383 9,40,47,49 Seal: excessive leakage, 22,23,25,33,34,35,36,41,44, short life, seal housing 45,46 Reduced Pressure 5,7,8,11,13,18,19,38,39,40,47,49 overheating Loss of Prime 2,3,4,7,10,11,20,21,22,23,49 Bearings: over heating, 26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34, short life, noise 35,36,41,42,43,44...
