LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS. PROTECT
YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE!
DESCRIPTION
The pump you have purchased is a submersible effluent pump
for use in basins or lift stations and suitable for pumping sewage,
effluent, wastewater and other non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids.
The 10S Series sewage ejector pumps have a 2" spherical solids
handling capability. The 10E Series sewage effluent pumps have a
3/4" spherical solids handling capability.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline,
fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Use
the pump only with liquids compatible with pump component
materials.
Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface, or in water.
Do not use power cord for lifting the pump.
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding-
type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be
certain that it is connected to a properly grounded grounding-type
receptacle.
The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain
equipment, pools, etc.
In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury
might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup
system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed,
failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor
bearing failures, etc.
This pump’s motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor
heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings. This oil is
non-toxic to aquatic life; however, suffocation can occur if oil is left
on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor housing, it can be
removed from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the
water surface to soak up the oil.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an
indication of motor overloading as a result of excessively high or
low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections or a
defective motor or pump.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not
connect to voltage other than that shown.
2. If pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third
prong is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical
shock hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the third prong from the plug.
A separate branch circuit is recommended. Do not use an
extension cord. Do not cut plug from the cord. If the plug is cut
or the cord is shortened, then this action will void the warranty.
3. If the cord is equipped with stripped lead wires, such as on 230V
models, be sure that the lead wires are connected to a power
source correctly. The green/yellow wire is the ground, the other
two are live.
4. Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The
installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well
as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
5. To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps must be
wired with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250’, 14 AWG wire
is sufficient. For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician or the
factory.
