PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
DATE INSTALLED:
MODEL NUMBER:
1. Inspect your pump.
Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before using.
DO NOT
remove the test plugs
in the cover nor the motor housing.
2. Carefully read the literature
provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.
CAUTION
SEE BELOW FOR
LIST OF CAUTIONS
SEE BELOW FOR
LIST OF WARNINGS
1.
Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the pump’s power
supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that
are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor.
But, more important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were
to become damaged or the connection end were to fall into the sump.
2. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or
circuit breakers of proper capacity.
A separate branch circuit is recommended,
sized according to the “National Electrical Code” for the current shown on the
pump nameplate.
3. Testing for ground.
As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be
checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer
which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly connected
to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified licensed electrician.
4. For Added Safety.
Pumping and other equipment with a 3-prong grounded
plug must be connected to a 3-prong grounded receptacle. For added safety
the receptacle may be protected with a ground-fault circuit interrupter. When
a pump needs to be connected in a watertight junction box, the plug can be
removed and spliced to the supply cable with proper grounding. For added
safety this circuit may be protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter. The
complete installation must comply with the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances.
5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS
POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING
. Single phase pumps are supplied
with a 3-prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of
electrical shock.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE
GROUND PIN.
The 3-prong plug
must
be inserted into a mating 3-prong
grounded receptacle.
If
the installation does not have such a receptacle, it
must be changed to the proper type, wired and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Three
phase pumps require motor starting devices with motor overload protection.
See FM0486 for duplex installations.
6.
The tank is to be vented in accordance with local plumbing code. Pumps
must
be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable
local codes and ordinances. Pumps are not to be installed in locations classified
as hazardous in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
7. “Risk of electrical shock”
Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief
or connect conduit directly to the pump.
8.
Installation and servicing of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed
by a qualified licensed electrician.
9.
Pump installation and servicing should be performed by a qualified person.
10.
Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated for use in
swimming pool and marine areas.
11.
According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
1.
Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage
requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump name plate.
2. Information - vent hole purpose.
It is necessary that all submersible sump,
effluent, and sewage pumps capable of handling various sizes of solid waste
be of the bottom intake design to reduce clogging and seal failures. If a check
valve is incorporated in the installation, a vent hole (approx.
3
/16" [5 mm]) must
be drilled in the discharge pipe below the check valve and pit cover to purge
the unit of trapped air. Trapped air is caused by agitation and/or a dry basin.
Vent hole should be checked periodically for clogging. The model 63 pump
has a vent hole located in the pump housing opposite the float, adjacent to
a housing lug, but an additional vent hole is recommended. If you choose
not to drill a vent hole, be sure the pump case and impeller is covered with
liquid before connecting the pipe to the check valve and no inlet carries air
to the pump intake.
NOTE: THE HOLE MUST ALSO BE BELOW THE BASIN
COVER AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY.
Water stream will be visible from
this hole during pump run periods.
3.
Pump should be checked frequently for debris and/or build up which may
interfere with the float “on” or “off” position. Repair and service should be
performed by Zoeller Pump Company Authorized Service Station only.
4.
Dewatering and effluent sump pumps are not designed for use in pits handling
raw sewage.
5.
Non-automatic pumps with external-level controls are recommended for septic
tank effluent applications.
6.
Maximum operating temperature for standard model pumps must not exceed
130°F (54°C).
7.
Do not operate a pump in an application where the Total Dynamic Head is
less than the minimum Total Dynamic Head listed on the Pump Performance
Curves.
NOTE: Pumps with the “UL” mark and pumps with the “US” mark are tested
to UL Standard UL778. CSA Certified pumps are certified to CSA Standard
C22.2 No. 108.
