Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
3. Release all pressure within the
system before ser vic ing any
component.
4. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
This pump contains
dielectric motor oil for
motor heat transfer. Care should be taken
when disposing of this oil. Do not use this
pump in ponds or fountains because the
motor oil can be harmful to aquatic life.
5. Secure the discharge line before
starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
6. Check hoses for weak and worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are secure.
7. Periodically inspect the pump and
system com po nents. Perform routine
maintenance as required (See
Maintenance Section).
8. Provide a means of pressure relief
for pumps whose discharge line can
be shut-off or obstructed.
9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times
when working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered
and properly lighted; replace all
unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors a safe distance from the
work area. Make workshop child-
proof with pad locks, master switch es,
and by re mov ing starter keys.
10. When wiring an elec tri cal ly driven
pump such as this, fol low all electrical
and safety codes, as well as the most
recent National Electrical Code (NEC)
and the Oc cu pa tion al Safety and
Health Act (OSHA).
Risk of
electric
shock! Never connect the
green (or green and yellow)
wire to a live terminal!
11. This equipment is only for use on
120 volt (single-phase) and is
equipped with an ap proved 3-con duc-
tor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type
plug as shown in Fig ure 1A and 1B.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
motor must be securely and adequately
grounded. This can be ac com plished by
the following:
• Inserting plug directly into a
properly installed and grounded
3-prong, grounding-type re ceptacle
(as shown in Figure 1A and 1B).
• Permanently wiring the unit with a
grounded, metal raceway system.
• Other suitable means.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong re cep ta-
cle installed in accordance with the NEC
and local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified elec tri cian.
13. Always connect this product to a
grounded outlet equipped with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
device. Con sult a local electrician for
installation and availability.
The pump motor
is equipped with
automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of motor
overloading as a result of operating
the pump at low heads (low discharge
restriction), excessively high or low
voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor
conditions, or a defective motor or pump.
14. This pump is designed to transfer
water in cycles. Using this pump in
a continuous duty application by
ma nip u lat ing the switch to stay on,
will affect the per for mance and the
life of the product.
15. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot sur fac es, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Re place or repair damaged or worn
cords im me di ate ly. Use wire of
adequate size to minimize voltage
drop at the motor.
16. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface,
or in water.
17. Do not hang this product by the
carry handle. Sewage pumps
should be set firmly on their legs
and supported by rigid piping. This
eliminates twisting and damage
during pump operation.
18.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not
walk on
wet area until all power has
been turned off. If the shut-
off box is in basement, call
the electric company to shut-off service to
the house, or call the local fire department
for instructions. Remove pump and repair
or replace. Failure to follow this warning
can result in fatal electrical shock.
Installation
In any installation
where property
damage and/or personal injury might result
from an inoperative or leaking pump due to
power outages, discharge line blockage or
any other reason, use a backup system(s).
1. Thread the discharge pipe or
pipe nipple into the dis charge
connection.
2. If a check valve is used in a solids
handling system mount the check
valve in a horizontal position or at
a 45º angle with the valve pivot on
top. In a vertical position, solids will
tend to lodge on the valve flapper
and can prevent it from opening.
3. Drill a 1/16 inch hole in the discharge
pipe ap prox i mate ly 1 inch to 2 inch
above the pump discharge when a
check valve is used. The hole prevents
air locking of the pump at the initial
start-up and if it should lose prime.
4. A gate valve should be installed in the
system after the check valve. This gate
valve should be a full port valve which
will pass 2 inch solids or as required
by state and local codes. This gate
valve permits removal of the pump
and/or check valve for servicing.
5. A union should be installed between
the check valve and the pump so the
pump can be removed with least
disturbance of the piping.
6. BCSE models are supplied with a
detachable tether switch with a
piggyback plug (see Figure 3A). The
length of the tether (distance of cord
from float to clamp) should not be set
shorter than 3-1/4 inches and should
not be used in a basin smaller than 14
inches in diameter. If using a differential
other than the factory setting, be sure
when the pump shuts off at least 4
inch of fluid is left in the basin so the
impeller remains submerged.
7. The BCAPSE40 model is supplied with
an capacitive water sensor. Orient the
pump in the basin so that the water
