SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest
pumps on the market today. Barnes
®
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 Barnes Pumps, Inc. manual will provide helpful
information concerning installation, maintenance, and proper
service guidelines.
B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage
or shortages. If damage has occurred, file a claim
immediately with the company that delivered the pump. If the
manual is removed from the packaging, do not lose or
misplace.
B-3) Storage:
Short Term-
Barnes Pumps are manufactured for efficient
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 units 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 b40 deg. F and +120 deg. F. (4.4 - 49°C)
If extended high humidity is expected to be a problem, all
exposed parts should be inspected before storage and all
surfaces that have the paint scratched, damaged, or worn
should be recoated with a water base, air dry enamel paint.
All surfaces should then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.
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 C: INSTALLATION
C-1) Location:
These self-contained pumping units are recommended for
use in a Dry Pit application. This pump is designed to pump
sewage, effluent, wastewater or other nonexplosive liquids.
Never install the pump in a trench, ditch or hole with a dirt
bottom, the pump will sink into the dirt and the suction will
become plugged.
C-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 backflow into
the sump. Excessive backflow can cause flooding and/or
damage to the pump. The shut-off valve is used to stop
system flow during pump or check valve servicing.
C-3) Wire Size:
If additional cable is required consult a qualified electrician for
proper wire size. See table for further electrical information.
