PUMP INSTALLATION
Risk of electrical shock.
Do not remove or alter
cord. Do not connect conduit to pump.
1. Only qualified personnel should install the pump and
associated control equipment.
2. Vent sewage tank according to local code.
3. Do not install pump in any location classified as haz-
ardous by National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1984.
4. These pumps are intended for permanent connection only.
Provide strain relief at control panel for power supply cord
connection to box. All control components must be UL
listed and suitable for end use application.
5. Do not pump flammable liquids, strong caustics, or strong
acids with this pump.
6. To prevent dropping pump, lower it by the drop pipe, not
by the cables. The electrical cables will not hold the pump
weight.
7. Discharge outlet is 1-1/4" NPT threaded.
NOTICE:
If installing external check valve, hold discharge
with pipe wrench to prevent loosening discharge in shell.
8. If pump is to be operated with an open discharge, a dis-
charge valve
must be installed. Before startup, open this
valve about 1/3 open. Start pump.
Slowly open valve until
the desired flow rate is reached. Final setting must be with-
in pump’s recommended operating range.
OPERATION
1. The pump must be submerged at all times during normal
operation.
Do not run pump dry.
2. Make sure that the float switches are set so that the pump
stops before the pump runs dry or breaks suction. If neces-
sary, adjust float switches to achieve this.
3. The motor bearings are lubricated internally. No mainte-
nance is required or possible on the pump.
