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 Electrical
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 equipment 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.
Standard units are not designed for use in
swimming pools, open bodies of water,
hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist. These
fluids and gases may be present in containment areas. Tank or
wetwell must be vented per local codes.
Only pumps specifically Listed for Class 1, Division 1 are al-
lowable in hazardous liquids and where flammable gases may
exist. See specific pump catalog bulletins or pump nameplate
for all agency Listings.
Disconnect and lockout electrical power
before installing or servicing any electri-
cal equipment. Many pumps are equipped with automatic
thermal overload protection which may allow an overheated
pump to restart unexpectedly.
All three phase (3Ø) control panels for
submersible pumps must provide
Class 10, quick-trip, overload protection.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage. Report any
damage to your supplier or shipping carrier immediately.
Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate Amps,
Voltage, Phase, and HP ratings match your control panel and
power supply.
Many of our sewage pumps are oil-filled. If there are any signs
of oil leakage or if the unit has been stored for an extended
period check the oil level in the motor dome and the seal
housing, if so equipped.
Check the motor cover oil level through the pipe plug on top
of the unit. The motor chamber oil should just cover the mo-
tor. Do not overfill, leave room for expansion!
To check the seal housing oil level, where used, lay the unit on
its side with the fill plug at 12 o’clock. Remove the plug. The
oil should be within ½" (13mm) of the top. If low, refill with
an ASTM 150 turbine oil. Replace the plug.
Oil is available in 5 gallon cans through our distributors. You
can also source oil locally at motor repair shops. Typical oil
brands are: Shell Turbo 32, Sunoco Sunvis 932, Texaco Regal
R&O 32, Exxon Nuto 32 and Mobil DTE Light.
Check the strain relief nut on power cable strain assemblies.
Power cables should be torqued to 75 in. lbs. for #16 cables
and 80 in. lbs. for all other cable assemblies. Seal/heat sensor
cables, where used, should be torqued to 75 in. lbs.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting
pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (voltage/
phase supply).
Attach the extra label supplied with the pump to this manual
and 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 attached
to the lifting eye bolt. DO NOT damage electrical and sensor
cables while raising and lowering unit.
OPTIONAL GUIDE RAIL/
BASE ELBOW SYSTEM
In many effluent and sewage basins or lift stations it is
advisable to install the pump on a guide rail system to facilitate
installation and removal for inspection and/or service. Most
codes do not allow personnel to enter a wetwell without the
correct protective equipment and training. Guide rails are
designed to allow easy removal of the pump without the need
for entry into the wetwell or need to disturb piping. The guide
rail should locate the pump opposite the influent opening
preventing stagnate areas where solids can settle. The basin or
pit must be capable of supporting the weight of the pump and
guide rail. The pit floor must be flat.
