SECTION A: GENERAL INFORMATION
A-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the fi nest pumps
on the market today. CP&S pumps are products engineered
and manufactured of high quality components. Over one
hundred years of pump building experience along with a
continuing quality assurance program combine to produce a
pump which will stand up to the toughest applications. This
manual will provide helpful information concerning installation,
maintenance, and proper service guidelines.
A-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for
damage or shortages. If damage has occurred, fi le a
claim immediately with the company that delivered the
pump.
MAKE CERTAIN TO RETAIN THIS MANUAL!
A-3) Storage:
Short Term-
CP&S Pumps are manufactured for effi cient
performance following short inoperative periods in storage.
For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory
assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures
for up to six (6) months.
Long Term
- Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty-four (24) months. The unit should
be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed over
walled enclosure that provides protection from the elements
(rain, snow, wind-blown dust, etc.), and whose temperature
can be maintained between +40 deg. F and +120 deg. F.
(4.4 - 49°C). Pump should be stored in its original shipping
container. On initial start up, rotate impeller by hand to
assure seal and impeller rotate freely. If it is required that
the pump be installed and tested before the long term
storage begins, such installation will be allowed provided:
1.) The pump is not installed under water for more than
one (1) month.
2.) Immediately upon satisfactory completion of the test,
the pump is removed, thoroughly dried, repacked in the
original shipping container, and placed in a temperature
controlled storage area.

SECTION B: INSTALLATION
B-1) Location:
These self-contained pumping units are recommended for
use in a sump, lift station or basin. This pump is designed
for submerged continuous duty (15 minutes duty in air
at nameplate horsepower), pumping sewage, effl uent,
wastewater or other nonexplosive or noncorrosive liquids
not above 104°F (40°C). Never install the pump in a trench,
ditch or hole with a dirt bottom; the legs will sink into the dirt
and the suction will become plugged.
B-1.1) Submergence:
It is recommended that the pump be operated in the
Continuous Duty Submergence condition and the sump
liquid level should never be less than the Minimum
Submergence Level (See Fig. 1). The time required to
draw the well down from top of motor to the minimum
submergence level should not be greater than 15 minutes.
NOTE:
Outer shaft seal must be in liquid when motor is
operated, whether motor is submerged or in air.
B-2) Discharge:
Discharge piping should be as short as
possible. Both a check valve and a shut-off valve are
recommended for each pump being used. The check valve
is used to prevent backfl ow into the sump. Excessive
backfl ow can cause fl ooding and/or damage to the pump.
The shut-off valve is used to stop system fl ow during pump
or check valve servicing.
Barnes Pumps manufactures a break away fi tting discharge
system designed to allow the submersible wastewater pump
to be installed or removed without requiring personnel to
enter the wet well. Place the Break Away Fitting (BAF) in
position. Temporarily secure the guide rails in the upper
mounting brackets and locate the base elbow on the bottom
of the wet well. Level the base elbow with grout and/or
shims. Install the intermediate support brackets, if required.
Make sure the rails are in a true vertical position so the
pump will clear the access opening and will slide freely
down the rails into place on the discharge base elbow. Once
the rails are in proper alignment, bolt the base elbow into
the fl oor of the station and connect the discharge pipe to
the elbow. Connect the movable portion and other supplied
fi ttings of the BAF onto the pump and lower into wet well.
See the Break Away Fitting manual for more information.
