Handling and Installation Instruction
LIFTING
1.
Heavy Object. Lifting equipment must be
capable of lifting motor and attached equipment. Check
over all tools, especially the hoisting gear, for wear or
damage before hoisting the unit.
2. If the total length of the pump and motor unit (without
any riser pipe attached) exceeds 10ft (3m), support the
unit with a girder while hoisting (see Figure 1). Do not
remove the supporting girder until the unit is standing
vertically in the hoist. Check for damage.
ELECTRICAL
(See Pages 5 & 6, for Product Specifications)
1.
Risk of electrical shock if the cable is
damaged. Inspect the motor cable for any nicks or cuts.
Do not use the motor cable to pull, lift, or handle the
motor. Protect the motor cable during storage, handling,
moving, and installation of the motor.
2. Inspect the motor to determine that it is the correct
horsepower, voltage, and size for the job and that there
is no shipping damage. Verify that the motor nameplate
voltage matches the available power supply voltage. The
nameplate rated voltage must not vary more than ± 10%
from the power supply voltage.
3. On all new installations and after the motor has sat idle
for a long period of time, check the motor’s internal
electrical resistance with a megohmmeter with lead
wires connected. Prior to installation, the motor should
have an insulation value of at least 20 megohms. After
installation, the motor and power cable should have a
minimum insulation value of 2 megohm. If the minimum
values are below the listed values, contact the factory
before starting the motor.
4. Fuses or circuit breakers and overload protection are
required. Fuses or circuit breakers and overloads must
be sized in accordance with National Electrical Code
(NEC) or Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requirements,
as applicable, and with all applicable local codes and
ordinances. See page 6 for more information on fuse
and breaker sizing.
5. Wire and ground the motor in accordance with National
Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
requirements, as applicable, and with all applicable
local codes and ordinances.
Less Than 10 Ft (3 M)
10 Ft (3M) or More
10 Ft (3M) or More
Support the pump and motor!
Lack of support will destroy the motor!
Figure 1: When the pump and motor together (without any riser pipe) are 10ft (3m) long or more, sup-
port the assembly before lifting to avoid bending it in the middle. Never try to lift the motor or pump by
the motor cables.
