Pump

Installation

Electrical Connections:

Make all connections from motor
to control panel to comply with
local codes.

CAUTION:    Make  sure  that
the  ground  wire  is  securely
connected  and  that  the  unit
is

properly

grounded

accordance with local codes.

Unpacking Pump:

Remove pump from carton. When
unpacking

unit,

check

for

concealed  damage.  Claims  for
damage  must  be  made  at  the
receiving end through the delivery
carrier.  Damage  cannot  be
processed from the factory.

Installing Pump in Sump:

Before installing pump in sump,
lay it on its side and rotate
impeller. Impeller may be slightly

stuck due to factory test water so
it  must  be  broken  loose  with  a
small  bar  or  screwdriver  in  edge
of vanes. The impeller should turn
freely.  Do  not  connect  the  power
until after this test.
Clean  all  trash  and  sticks  from
sump and connect pump to piping.
A check  valve  must  be  installed
on each pump.

Location:

If  pumps  are  installed  in  an
existing  basin  or  concrete  sump,
the piping can either be connected
permanently or rails and brackets
can  be  furnished  for  mounting  to
walls  of  basin.  In  either  case,
be  sure  the  HYDROMATIC
non-clog  ball  check  valve  is
used  and  that  the  pumps  are
submerged  in  a  vertical  position.
The

complete

factory-built

packaged system is recommended
for

the

most

satisfactory

installation and generally for the
lowest cost where expensive
installation labor is involved.

Making Electrical Connections:

All  electrical  wiring  must  be  in
accordance  with  local  code,  and
only  qualified  electricians  should
make  the  installations.  Complete
wiring  diagrams  are  included
for use in making the installation.
All  wires  should  be  checked
for  shorts  to  ground  with  an
ohmmeter  or  Meggar  after  the
connections  are  made.  This  is
important,  as  one  grounded  wire
can cause considerable trouble.

IMPORTANT: If equipment is
not

properly

wired

and

protected as recommended,
HYDROMATIC

warranty

is void.

Power Cords:

The power cord and heat sensor
seal failure cord are potted into
the connection box cap. The cords
must not be spliced.

NOTE:  Each  cable  has  a  green
lead.  This  is  the  ground  wire
and must be grounded properly
per N.E.C.  and/or local  codes.
During  normal  maintenance
procedures  power cords  should
be inspected for abnormal wear
and replaced accordingly.

Overload Heaters:

If  the  HYDROMATIC  electrical
panel  is  not  used,  starters  with
3-leg  overload  relay  must  be
supplied on 3-phase pumps. Each
leg  is  to  have  an  identical  heater
sized  in  accordance  with  the
nameplate  amps  on  the  motor
housing.  The  amp  draw  on  these
submersible  motors  is  slightly
higher  than  a  corresponding
horsepower  surface  motor,  so
heaters  must  be  sized  by  the
nameplate rating.
Single-phase pumps with capacitor
start  have  a  run  and  a  start
winding,

each

drawing

different  current.  To  adequately
protect  these  windings  with
the  appropriate  heaters,  consult
the factory.

NOTE: Red lead is always
start winding of pump using
single phase.
