DESCRIPTION
This is a submersible effluent pump for use in basins or lift stations,
and is suitable for pumping sewage, effluent, wastewater, and other
non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids with up to 1/2" spherical solids.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make certain pump is disconnected from power source before
attempting to service or remove any component.
2. Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as
gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. DO NOT use in explosive
atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by NEC, ANSI/
NFPAT. Pump should be used with liquids compatible with pump
component materials.
3. Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing on a
wet or damp surface or in water.
4. Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the
pump is operating or connected to power source.
5. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or
grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded
grounding type receptacle.
6. The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying
fountain equipment, pools, etc.
7. In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury
might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup
system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
8. Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed.
Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor
bearing failures, etc.
9. This pump’s motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor
heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings. This oil is
non-toxic to aquatic life. However, suffocation can occur if oil is
left on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor housing it can
be removed from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on
the water surface to soak up the oil.
10. The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an
indication of motor overloading as a result of excessively high or
low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a
defective motor or pump.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not
connect to voltage other than that shown.
2. If pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third prong
is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical shock hazard.
DO NOT REMOVE the third prong from the plug. A separate
branch circuit is recommended.
Do not use an extension cord. Do not cut plug from the cord. If
the plug is cut or the cord is shortened, then this action will void
the warranty.
3. If the cord is equipped with stripped lead wires, such as on 230V
models, be sure that the lead wires are connected to a power
source correctly. The green/yellow wire is the ground. The blue
(or white) and brown (or black) are live.
4. Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The
installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well as
the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
5. To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps must be wired
with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250', 14 AWG wire is sufficient.
For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician or the factory.
6. Pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no
other outlets or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit
breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
