 Attaching a Rope to Suspend the Pump

Refer to the illustration on the right in order to suspend 

the pump by a rope.

CAUTION

  Make sure that the rope does not 

become twisted during installation. 

Failure to observe this precaution 

could cause the rope to break, the 

pump to fall and break, which could 

lead to injury.

CAUTION

  With automatic control, the water in the pipe could flow backwards, causing 

the water surface control device to react immediately. As a result, the pump 

will operate ON/OFF repeatedly, which could cause the pump to malfunction.

(8) Install a check valve if the pump tank is deep, or the vertical head or the lateral distance 

is long.

 Electrical Wiring Work

WARNING

  •  All electrical work must be performed by an authorized electrician, in 

compliance with the local electrical equipment standards and internal 

wiring codes. Never allow an unauthorized person to perform electrical 

work because it is not only against the law, but it can also be extremely 

dangerous.

 

•  Improper wiring can lead to current leakage, electrical shock, or fire.

 

•  Absolutely provide a dedicated earth leakage circut breaker and a thermal 

overload relay suitable for the pump (available on the market). Failure 

to follow this warning can cause electrical shock or explosion when the 

product fails or an electrical leakage occurs.

 Make sure that the power supply and wiring have adequate capacity.

 Grounding 

WARNING

  Make sure to install the ground wire securely. Failure to observe this 

precaution could damage the pump and cause current leakage, which may 

lead to electrical shock.

CAUTION

  Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or 

telephone ground wire. Improper grounding could cause electrical shock.

CAUTION

  Do not operate the pump with the cabtyre cable dangling. Failure to observe 

this precaution may cause the cabtyre cable to become wrapped around the 

impeller, which could cut the cable, break the impeller, or cause flooding, 

which may lead to current leakage or electrical shock.

(5) Install the submersible pump upright on top of a surface such as concrete, in an area 

that is free of turbulence and does not cause the pump to take air in.

(6) The area near the inlet of a water tank is susceptible to turbulence or allows the pump 

to take air in; therefore, place the pump and the float switch away from the inlet or 

install a baffle plate.

(7) Carry out piping work properly so as not to create any air pockets in the middle of 

piping.
