This manual is not intended for repair or overhaul of the Tonkaflo pump liquid ends.
Only the factory and those certified by the Factory Service School are authorized to repair, service or overhaul Tonkaflo liquid ends.
Your new Tonkaflo multi-stage centrifugal pump is designed for quiet, efficient, vertical oper- ation in environments where noise from a fan-cooled motor is acceptable. A modular design permits the liquid end to be separated from the motor module for greater serviceability, while at the same time ensuring precise shaft alignment. The materials and construction of Quiet Submersible Verticle (QSV) pumps make them suitable for many chemical and pure water applications.
The Tonkaflo pump’s multi-stage design allows the user to choose a pump model that most closely matches the desired performance and, thereby, to achieve the highest pumping effi- ciency. Unlike many other pump manufacturers, Tonkaflo will produce pumps to fit your par- ticular applications should a standard model not suit your requirements.
