PUMP INSTALLATION
KZN-F Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions.
Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Risk of electric shock. KZN-F Series pump models do not come
with electric plug connectors. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is
connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle or control panels.
Lifting:
Attach a rope or lifting chain (not included) to the handle (or lifting rings) on the top of
the pump.
Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/piping.
Proper lifting equipment (rope/chain) must be used.
POSITIONING THE PUMP
BJM Pumps, KZN-F Series pumps are designed to operate fully or partially submerged.

or by
calling BJM Pumps, LLC at 860-399-5937. As a general rule, KZN Series top discharge
pumps can pump down to a level above the suction screen. Pumping lower than the
screen will permit air to enter the pump and cavitate, lose prime or become air bound.

Do not run pumps dry.

Pump liquid should not exceed a maximum temperature of 200°F (93°C).

Never place the pump on loose or soft ground. The pump may sink, preventing
water from reaching the impeller. Place on a solid surface or suspend the pump
with a lifting rope/chain. The KZN-F Series pumps are provided with a suction
strainer to prevent large solids from clogging the impeller. Any spherical solids
which pass through the strainer should pass through the pump.

For maximum pumping capacity, use the proper size non-collapsible hose or rigid
piping. A check valve may be installed after the discharge to prevent back flow
when the pump is shut off.
