INTRODUCTION This Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual provides important information on safety and the proper inspection, disassembly, assembly and testing of the BJM Pumps® SK-F & SKX-F Series submersible pump. This manual also contains information to optimize performance and longevity of your BJM Pumps submersible pump. The F-Series fahrenheit™ pumps are engineered to pump water based liquids up to 200° Fahrenheit (93°C).
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in personal injury or product or property damage. These instructions describe the procedure required and the possible damage which could result from failure to follow the procedure. SAFETY Pump installations are seldom identical. Each installation and application can vary due to many different factors. It is the owner/service mechanics responsibility to repair, service, and test to ensure that the pump integrity is not compromised according to this manual.
Pumps and related equipment must be installed and operated according to all national, local and industry standards. INSPECTION Review all safety information before servicing pump. The following are recommended installation practices/procedures for the pump. If there are questions in regards to your specific application, contact your local BJM Pumps distributor or BJM Pumps, LLC. PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Check the pump for damage that may have occurred during shipment.
Lubrication: No additional lubrication is necessary. The shaft seal and bearings are fully lubricated from the factory. Seal oil should be checked once per year. See table: Oil Fill Quantity / Type.

Risk of electric shock. Pump models; All three phase pumps 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. Lifting: Attach a rope or lifting chain (not included) to the handle (or lifting rings) on the top of the pump. Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/piping. Proper lifting equipment (rope/chain) must be used.
PUMP ROTATION Two ways to check the correct pump rotation: 1. By looking at the impeller; the rotation of the impeller should be counter clockwise as shown in the picture below. 2. By looking from the top of the pump. Since the impeller cannot be seen, the best way to check the rotation is to check the kick back motion of the pump when the pump just starts. The kick back motion of the pump should be counter clockwise as shown in the picture below.
PUMP OPERATION This pump is designed to handle dirty water that contains some solids. It is not designed to pump volatile or flammable liquids. Do not attempt to pump any liquids which may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure. Do not operate this pump where explosive vapors or flammable material exist. Death or Serious injury will result. TYPICAL MANUAL WASTEWATERING INSTALLATION NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
STOPPING To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode), unplug it from the power source, turn off the breaker, or turn the power source off (generator). Typical 3 phase manual control 1 TYPICAL AUTOMATIC WASTEWATERING INSTALLATION NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
Three phase pumps need a separate control box with float(s) for automatic operation. STOPPING To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode), turn off the breaker, or turn the power source off (generator). INTENDED METHODS OF CONNECTION Use with approved motor control that matches motor input in full load amperes. “UTILLISER UN DÉMARREAR APPROUVÉ CONVENANT AU COURANT Á PLEINE CHARGE DU MOTEUR.” BJM Pumps has been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions.
THREE PHASE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. “Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief or connect conduit directly to the pump. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician. To automatically operate a non-automatic three phase pump, a control panel is required. Follow the instructions provided with the panel to wire the system.
DO NOT PLACE HANDS IN PUMP SUCTION WHILE CHECKING MOTOR ROTATION. TO DO SO WILL CAUSE SERVER PERSONAL INJURY. Three phase pumps have integral motor overload protection. It is recommended that all three phase pumps using a motor starting device also incorporate motor overload protection. Pumps must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
SERVICING YOUR SUBMERSIBLE PUMP Pump should be disconnected from the electric power supply before proceeding to do any service or maintenance. To service or repair your pump, please contact your local BJM Pumps distributor. Service should only be performed by a qualified electrician. The design of the “F” series high temperature pump models is unique and requires specific knowledge to perform the proper assembly.
7) Remove the impeller. 8) Remove the inspection screw for the oil chamber (pos#50-08). Pour out a small sample of the oil. If it is milky white, or contains water, then the oil and possible, the mechanical seal, should be changed. If an oil change is needed. 9) Remove the screws that hold the oil chamber cover in place & remove the oil. 10) Replace the mechanical seal if necessary. 11) Replace the oil. 12) Assemble the pump.

SEAL MINDER® - THERMAL MOTOR SENSOR SWITCH (For high temperature pump models) Seal Minder: Also known as a seal failure circuit (or moisture detection circuit) is designed to inform the pump operator that there is moisture within the oil chamber. This early warning can allow the operator to schedule repair & inspection on the pump. The Seal Minder sensor probe is inside the oil chamber. (The oil chamber houses the mechanical seals that are cooled & lubricated by oil).
