PRIOR TO INSTALLATION & OPERATION
The installer must consult a WHS supervisor and/or adhere to all relevant criteria and regulations. The Installer should consult an engineer for site
assessment and correct installation methods.
When the pump is delivered, first perform the following checks.
INSPECTION
While unpacking, inspect the product for damage during shipment, and make sure all the fasteners, clamps, etc. are tightened properly.
SPECIFICATION CHECK
Check the model number to make sure it is the product that was ordered. Be certain it is the correct voltage and frequency.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION
- Do not operate this product under any conditions other than those for which it is specified.
-Failure to observce this precaution can lead to electrical shock, electrical leakage, fire, water leakage, damage to property, injury and death.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
•
Do not pump in liquids other than water, sewage, or chemically stable wastewater. Do not use pump in oil, salt water, flammable liquids, or organic
solvents.
•
Use with a power supply voltage 5% of the rated voltage.
•
Do not use in water temperatures outside the range of 0-35
˚
C. This can lead to failure, electrical leakage, shock or fire.
•
Do not use in the vicinity of explosive or flammable materials, or areas classified as hazardous.
•
Use only in fully assembled state
NOTE: Consult your dealer or representative before using with any liquids others than those indicated in this document.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Before installing the pump at a work site, you will need to have the following tools and instruments ready.
•
Insulation resistance tester
•
AC Voltmeter
•
AC ammeter (clamp on type)
•
Bolt and nut tighteners
•
Power supply connection tools
•
Ensure adequate power supply is available
NOTE: Please read also instructions that come with each of the test instruments.
CHECKS TO MAKE BEFORE INSTALLATION
When a three pin plug is used:
Use the megohmeter to measure the insulation resistance between the cabtyre cable plug tips and ground.
When connection leads are used:
With the megohmeter, measure the insulation resistance between each core lead and the ground lead (Green/Yellow.)
Insulation Resistance must be in accordance with the applicable Australian Standard.
**DANGER!** Do not conduct electrical work unless you are a licenced Electrician.
WARNING
•
When installing the pump, pay close attention to it’s centre of gravity and weight. If it is not lowered into place correctly, it may fall and be damaged
or cause injury.
•
When transporting the pump by hand, be sure to employ manpower commensurate with the weight of the pump. To avoid back injury when lifting the
pump, bend the knees to pick it up rather than bending your back.
CAUTION
•
Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump by suspending it from the power cable. The cable may be damaged causing electrical
leakage, shock, fire, injury and death.
1.
Attach the hose to the hose coupling as far as it will go, then fasten it securely with the hose band.
2.
Avoid dropping the pump or other strong impact. Lift the pump by holding it firmly with both hands or by attaching a rope or chain to the handle.
3.
Install the pump in an upright position on a secure base. Ensure that the inlet to the pump is not blocked by sludge, mud, solids, plastic bags, rubbish.
4. Where a float switch is attached to the pump, ensure the float switch is free to operate without interfering with tank walls, pipe owkr etc.
5.
A swing check non-return valve and isolating valve should be fitted to discharge pipe close to the pump but accessible to that it can be replaced.
6.
The pump must not be used in or at swimming pools, garden ponds, or where there are people in the water.
CAUTION
•
Avoid dry operation, which will not only lower performance but can cause the pump to malfunction, leading to electrical leakage and shock
7.
Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water collects readily.
N
OTE: Please refer to “Operating Water Level” for the water level neccesarry for operation
N
OTE: The discharge end should be located higher than the water surface. If the end of the hose or pipe is submerged, water may flow back to the pump
when the pump is stopped; and if the hose end is lower than the water surface, water may overflow when the pump is turned off.
CAUTION
•
If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting from erosion in the pump can lead to electrical leakage and shock
8.
To prevent the pump strainer stand from becoming submerged in mud, causing it to suck in debris, mount it on a blaock or firm base
