General Comments:
1) Never work in the sump with the power on.
2) Level controls are factory set. Be certain that the level
control cannot hang up or foul in it’s swing. Also, make
certain the pump impeller is still submerged when the level
control is in the ’off’ mode.
3) Plug the pump plug into a GFI receptacle. One cycle of
operation should be observed , so that any potential
problems can be corrected.
IMPORTANT! - When installing vertical float
pumps, check to be sure float is not hung up
on top of volute housing.
C-4) Electrical Connections:
WARNING ! - Pumps must be properly
grounded per THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC
CODE or THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE and
YOUR LOCAL ELECTRIC CODE. Improper grounding
voids warranty.
C-4.1) Power Cable:
The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be
modified in any way. This pump comes complete with a 3
wire cord and 3 prong grounded plug that must be
connected into a 3 wire grounded Ground Fault receptacle.
DO NOT
remove ground pin from electrical plug. It is
NOT
recommended to use an extension cord with these pumps.
DO NOT USE THE POWER CABLE TO LIFT PUMP.
C-4.2) Overload Protection:
Automatic thermal overload protects the sealed-in-oil
motor. Running dry may overheat the motor and trip the
overload. The type of in-winding overload protector used
is referred to as an inherent overheating protector and
operates on the combined effect of temperature and
current. This means that the overload protector will trip out
and shut the pump off if the windings become too hot, or
the load current passing through them becomes too high.
It will then automatically reset and start the pump up after
the motor cools to a safe temperature. In the event of an
overload, the source of this condition should be determined
and rectified immediately.
DO NOT LET THE PUMP CYCLE OR RUN IF AN
OVERLOAD CONDITION OCCURS !
SECTION D: SERVICE AND REPAIR
WARNING ! - Electrical power to the pump
motor must be disconnected and locked out to
prevent any dangerous electrical hazards or personnel
danger before any service work is done to the pump.
CAUTION: - Operating pump builds up heat
and pressure; Allow time for pump to cool to
room temperature before handling or servicing.
WARNING ! - DO NOT overfill oil. Overfilling of
motor housing with oil can create excessive
and dangerous hydraulic pressure which can destroy
the pump and create a hazard. Overfilling oil voids
warranty.
IMPORTANT! - Float or shunt plug connector
must be installed for pump to operate.
D-1) Bottom Plate:
Remove screws, and remove bottom plate from volute and
remove volute. Clean and examine impeller. If impeller
vanes are clogged, or it is excessively worn or broken, the
impeller should be replaced.
D-2) Impeller:
After removing the bottom plate, as outlined in Paragraph
D-1, the impeller, may be removed by turning impeller
counterclockwise to remove from shaft. When
reassembling the impeller, turn the impeller clockwise until
it bottoms against shaft. Replace volute, bottom plate, and
screws.
