PUMP INSTALLATION
KZE Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions.
Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Risk of electric shock. KZE 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 lifting chain (not included) to the lifting rings on the top of the pump.
Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/piping.
Proper lifting equipment (chain) must be used.
POSITIONING THE PUMP
BJM Pumps, KZE Series pumps are designed to operate fully or partially submerged.
Do not run the pump dry. Refer to data sheet for minimum submersion depth for your
particular model. Data sheets can be obtained online at
or by
calling BJM Pumps, LLC at 860-399-5937. As a general rule, KZE Series side discharge
pumps can pump down to the top of the volute. Pumping lower than the suction screen
will permit air to enter the pump and cavitate, lose prime
or become air bound (see chart below).
