Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate, amps, voltage, phase, and
HP ratings match your control panel and power supply.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting pumps and controls to an
incorrect power source (voltage/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.
If anything appears to be abnormal, contact your
BJM Pumps distributor or BJM
Pumps, LLC. If damaged, the pump may need to be repaired before use. Do not install
or use the pump until appropriate action has been taken.
INSTALLATION:
1. Inspect each part/component to verify that it is free of damage and imperfections.
2. Do not lift or move the pump by the power cable. Use the lifting handle or eye
bolt attachment to support movement of the pump.
3. 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 suspended the
pump with a lifting rope/chain. The pump can pass solids that are compatible with
the suction/agitator opening size (see technical data sheet).
4. Running the pump dry for extended periods of time may damage the seals and
over-heat the motor. Do not run the pump below the recommended operating
level (see technical data sheet).
5. Pumping liquid should not exceed a maximum temperature of 104°F.
Remove foreign matter such as concrete clods or stones after installing the pump in the
tank. Failure to observe this caution may cause damage to the impeller or casing, or
block the intake port.
