DESCRIPTION
This is a submersible effluent pump for use in basins or lift stations, and is
suitable for pumping effluent, wastewater, and other non-explosive, non-
corrosive liquids with up to 3/4” spherical solids and temperatures up to
200°F.
SAFET
Y GUIDELINES
CAUTION: INTENDED FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
READ SAFETY GUIDELINES AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
1. Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel
oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous
locations as classified by NEC, ANSI/NFPAT. Pump should only be
used with liquids compatible with pump component materials.
2. Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface, or in water.
3. Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the pump
is operating or connected to power source.
4. 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.
5. The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain equipment,
pools, etc.
6. In any installations 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.
7. 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.
8. This pump’s motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor heat
transfer and life-time 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.
9. 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.
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 feet, 14 AWG wire is
sufficient. For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician or the factory.
6. Pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no other
outlets or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit breaker should
be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
7. The flexible PVC jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must
not be modified in any way, with the exception of shortening the cord
to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control
panel must be made within a junction box and mounted outside of the
basin and comply with the National Electrical Code.
