WARNING: Servicing should be performed only by an authorized service center. Always disconnect the pump from power source before handling or making any adjustments. Always wear rubber boots when there is water on the floor and you must unplug the pump or make any adjustments.

WARNING: A clearance under the pump for entrance of sewage solids must be a minimum of 2 inches to a maximum of 3.5 inches.

The sump or basin shall be sealed and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. This pump is designed to pump domestic wastewater, nonexplosive and non-corrosive liquids and shall NOT be installed in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/ NFPA 70 or Canadian Electric Code (CEC). The pump should never be installed in a trench, ditch, or hole with a dirt bottom. The legs will sink into thedirt and the suction will become plugged. These pumps are usually installed in concrete or fiberglass basins with the lift-out rail system. Instructions for installing rail system are furnished with rail package.

If pump is not installed with lift-out rail system it must be properly supported on legs and connected to discharge pipe so that space is provided under pump for entrance of sewage. Pump inlet should not be closer than 2 inches from bottom of sump. It is not generally desirable to install these pumps without the rail system except on special O.E.M. packaged systems. Check valves should always be installed along with shut-off valves. This allows for easier service and prevents backflow into basin.

Starting Pump After Installing in Sump
Before lowering pump into basin, connect power lines and start motor. Impeller should turn counterclockwise when looking at impeller.

WARNING : Disconnect all power and control wires to motor at control panel before starting disassembly operation. Never rely on opening circuit breaker only.

CAUTION: Operating pump builds up heat and pressure; allow time for pump to cool to room temperature.

Submergence
The pump should always be operated in the submerged condition. The minimum sump liquid level should never be less than above the pump’s motor, unless very briefly.

Discharge Piping
Install discharge piping or hose assembly to the pump. Discharge piping should be as short as possible and sized no smaller than the pump discharge. Do not reduce the discharge pipe size below that which is provided on the pump. Both a check valve and a shutoff valve are recommended for each pump. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. The shut-off valve is used to manually stop system flow during pump servicing. Be sure the discharge pipe has a 1/8” diameter hole approx. 5” from end nearest volute and oriented towards the pump body.

Control Panel
Single phase series sewage pumps DO NOT require a control panel, but do require a level control.

Motor
Each motor is provided with heat sensor thermostats attached directly to the motor windings. The thermostats open if the motor windings see excessive heat and, in turn, open the motor contactor in the control panel when used, breaking the power to the pump. When the motor is stopped due to an overheated condition, it will not start until the motor has cooled.

Pre-Operation

Check Voltage And Phase
Before operating pump, check to make sure that voltage and phase information stamped on the pump’s identification plate matches the available power.

Check Pump Rotation
Before putting pump into service for the first time, the motor rotation must be checked. Improper motor rotation can result in poor pump performance and can damage the motor and/or pump.

Identification Plate
Note the numbers on the pumps identification plate and record in this manual for future reference. Turn circuit breaker off before plugging or unplugging the switch and/or pump. It is recommended that the level control float should be set to insure that the liquid in the sump never drops below the top of the motor housing. The level control should have adequate clearance so it cannot hang up in it’s swing and that the pump is completely submerged when the level control is in the “Off ” mode. Minimum tether length is 3.50”. By adjusting the cord tether the control level can be changed. DO NOT USE THE POWER CABLE TO LIFT PUMP.

Pump-Down Test
Be sure pump has been plugged in, lowered into the basin or sump, check the system by filling with liquid and allowing the pump to operate through its pumping cycle. The time needed to empty the system, or pump-down time along with the volume of water, should be recorded.

Thermal Protection
The normally closed (N/C) over temperature sensor is embedded in the motor windings and will detect excessive heat in the event an overload condition occurs. The thermal sensor will trip when the windings become too hot and will automatically reset when the pump motor cools to a safe temperature. In the event of an over temperature, the source of this condition should be determined and repaired immediately. Thermal protection shall not be used as a motor overload device.

Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required. Perform the following checks when pump is removed from operation or when pump performance deteriorates:

  1. Inspect motor chambers for oil level and contamination.
  2. Inspect impeller and body for excessive buildup or clogging.
  3. Inspect motor and bearings.
  4. Inspect seal for wear or leakage

Troubleshooting
