NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND
MUST BE FOLLOWED.
THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY WORK
ON THIS PUMP.
MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.
All electrical work must be performed by
a qualified technician. Always follow the
National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian Electri-
cal Code, as well as all local, state and provincial codes.
Code questions should be directed to your local electrical
inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and OSHA
safety standards may result in personal injury or equip-
ment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer’s installation
instructions may result in electrical shock, fire hazard,
personal injury or death, damaged equipment, provide
unsatisfactory performance and may void manufacturer’s
warranty.
Pumps are listed for use in water and sew-
age as Class 1, Groups C and D hazardous
locations. As defined by the NEC hand book, a Class 1
location is one in which flammable gases or vapors are or
may be present in quantities sufficient to produce explosive
or ignitable mixtures. See the NEC handbook for Groups C
and D definitions.
See specific pump and motor nameplates
for all agency Listings.
See motor nameplate for all electrical
ratings.
The user must provide an appropriate
motor starter (control panel) with ther-
mal (high temperature) protection, over
current protection and moisture detection circuits. The
over current protection must provide Class 10 quick trip
protection. Consult Motor Installation Manual as well
as the National Electric Code, Canadian Electric Code,
state, provincial and/or other local codes which may
apply.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
This motor is rated for continuous duty
when fully submerged in liquid and
15-minute duty in air when operated at nameplate HP.
Do not exceed 15 minutes in air duty rating. Consult
motor manual for further information.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage. Report
any damage to your supplier or shipping carrier immedi-
ately.
Verify that all equipment is the correct voltage and phase.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting
pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (volt-
age/phase supply).
Record the model numbers and serial numbers from the
pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction
manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix
it to the control panel when finished with the installation.
LIFTING OF PUMP
DO NOT LIFT, CARRY OR HANG
PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL
CABLES. DAMAGE TO THE
ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN CAUSE
SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.
Lift the pump with an adequately sized chain or cable at-
tached to the lifting lugs on the motor. DO NOT damage
electrical and sensor cables while raising and lowering unit.
GUIDE RAIL SYSTEM
Hazardous Class 1 environments require
non-sparking guide rail or disconnect equip-
ment. Mating parts constructed of brass or stainless steel will
prevent sparks during equipment installation and removal.
We offer the A10-30B, A10-40B and A10-60B cast iron and
brass guide rail assemblies for use in these locations.
Typical wastewater collection systems are possibly
dangerous environments due to gases collected in the
wet well. Most codes do not allow personnel to enter a
wetwell without the correct protective equipment and
training. Guide rail systems are designed to allow easy
removal of the pump without the need for entry into the
wetwell or need to disturb piping.
An optional guide rail system facilitates pump installation
and removal for inspection and maintenance. Guide rails
eliminate this safety concern. They save time as there is
no need to disturb piping to pull a pump for service.
NOTICE: FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE SUPPLIED
WITH THE GUIDE RAIL SYSTEM.
Installation of the guide rail should locate the pump
opposite the influent opening preventing stagnate areas
where solids can settle.
The pit floor must be flat under the guide rail base and
have sufficient loading capacity to support the entire
weight of the guide rail, discharge piping and the pump.
See Typical Installations Drawings.
