SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the fi nest pumps
on the market today. CP&S pumps are products engineered
and manufactured of high quality components. Over one
hundred years of pump building experience along with a
continuing quality assurance program combine to produce a
pump which will stand up to the toughest applications. This
manual will provide helpful information concerning installation,
maintenance, and proper service guidelines.
B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage
or shortages. If damage has occurred, fi le a claim immediately
with the company that delivered the pump. If the manual
is removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.
B-3) Storage:
Short Term-
CP&S Pumps are manufactured for effi cient
performance following short inoperative periods in storage.
For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory
assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures
for up to six (6) months. Long Term- Any length of time
exceeding six (6) months, but not more than twenty-four (24)
months. The unit should be stored in a temperature controlled
area, a roofed over walled enclosure that provides protection
from the elements (rain, snow, wind-blown dust, etc.), and
whose temperature can be maintained b40 deg. F
and +120 deg. F. (4.4 - 49°C). Pump should be stored in its
original shipping container. On initial start up, rotate impeller
by hand to assure seal and impeller rotate freely. If it is
required that the pump be installed and tested before the long
term storage begins, such installation will be allowed provided:
1.) The pump is not installed under water for more than
one (1) month.
2.) Immediately upon satisfactory completion of the test,
the pump is removed, thoroughly dried, repacked in the
original shipping container, and placed in a temperature
controlled storage area.

SECTION C: INSTALLATION
C-1) Location:
Water feeding and discharging for construction and civil
works; Water supply and sewage works; Various kinds of
industrial facilities; Housing and building facilities.
The pump can be used at almost all places but avoid con-
tinuous short-water operation at a sandy place, such may
accelerate wear of the pump. Install the pump at a position
where water can be collected most easily. When the pump is
installed on soft muddy or sandy ground, lay wooden board
or block under the body.
DO NOT
allow pump to be buried in
mud or sand.
C-1.1 Submergence:
It is recommended that the pump be operated in the sub-
merged condition and the sump liquid level should never be
less than dimension “A” in Figure 1.
Before pumping fl uids other than water, consult the factory,
giving fl uid, fl uid temperature, specifi c gravity, viscosity,
capacity in USGPM and total head and/or pressure require-
ments, including friction loss through discharge line, fi ttings,
valves, etc. Maximum fl uid temperature for sustained opera-
tion is 120°F (49°C) at specifi c gravity 1.0.
IMPORTANT ! - Pump Should Have Strainer
Affi xed At All Times. Inspect And Clean The Pump
Strainer Periodically For Maximum Effi ciency And
Performance.
C-2) Discharge:
When any hose is used for connection, keep the hose as
straight as possible as excessively bent hose reduces water
quantity. Refrain from placing the end of discharge hose
under water or reverse siphioning may occur when pump is
turned off.
C-3) ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
C-3.1) Power & Control Cords:
The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modi-
fi ed in any way except for shortening to a specifi c application.
Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be
made in accordance with all applicable electric codes. It is
recommended that a junction box, if used, be mounted out-
side the sump or be of at least Nema 4 (EEMAC-4) construc-
tion if located within the wet well.
DO NOT USE THE POWER
OR CONTROL CORDS TO LIFT PUMP.
NOTE: The White Wire Is Not A Neutral Or Ground Lead.
The Black, White And Red Leads Are Power Carrying
Conductors. The Green Lead Is For Connection To
Ground.
