4 CP-Series Submersible Motors Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
IV. Handling and Installation
1. Do not use lead wires to pull, lift or handle the motor. The lead wires should be protected during storage,
handling, moving and installation of the motor.
2. Inspect the motor to determine that it is the correct HP, voltage and size for the job and that there is no
shipping damage.
3. The factory-installed water in the motor is supplied with antifreeze capable of temperatures to -5º C (23º F).
Do not install, transport or store below these temperatures. If storage is necessary below these temperatures,
drain the water from the motor.
4. After long periods of idleness and on all new installations, check the electrical resistance and megger the
motor with lead wires connected. The insulation resistance should have a value of at least 5 megohms at
installation and at least 1 megohm after running.
5. Verify motor is filled with clean water before installing. The warranty is void if this is not done. Also check
the tightness of all water filling and drain plugs, mounting bolts and cable connections.
6. Do not hammer the shaft, coupling or slinger since this may damage the thrust bearing. Check the rotation
of the motor by hand to insure that it turns freely.
7. Do not drop the bottom end of the motor in the dirt or mud since this may plug up the diaphragm opening.
8. If motor is to be installed horizontally, make sure the relief valve is at the 12 o'clock position when facing the
motor shaft (in horizontal position).
9. Check that winding coil resistance in each two phases is equal to values in Tables 1 - 4.
10. Select the proper overload relay or heaters.
11. For 50HP and 60HP models: Remove the metal sleeve attached to the midpoint of the motor and discard.
