Pump Warning

To reduce risk of electrical shock:

1. Risk of Electrical Shock: This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
2. Risk of Electrical Shock:

Connect only to a properly grounded receptacle. Septic tank is to be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. Do not smoke or use sparkable electrical devices or flame in a septic (gaseous) or possible septic sump. If a septic sump condition exists and if entry into sump is necessary, then (1) provide proper safety precautions per OSHA requirements and (2) do not enter sump until these precautions are strictly adhered to. Do not install pump in location classified as hazardous per N.E.C., ANSI/NFPA 70 – 2001. Failure to heed above cautions could result in injury or death.

Installation Instructions

These important instructions must be followed for satisfactory performance of your pump. Before installation, check your local electrical and plumbing codes.

1. Provide proper
   Recommended minimum sump diameter is 18″.

2. Make sure sump is free of string, cloth, nails, gravel, etc. before installing pump.

3. Do not set pump directly on the bottom of sump if it is not solid. Raise the pump by using bricks or concrete blocks underneath it.

4. Use steel or plastic pipe for all connecting lines between pump and sewer outlet.
   NOTE: Some city regulations do not allow installing a pump with plastic pipe. Check local regulations.

5. In applications where the pump may sit idle for months at a time, it is recommended that the pump(s) be cycled every month to ensure the pumping system is working properly when needed.

6. Hydro matic check valve should be installed in discharge pipe.

7. An audible alarm system for high water conditions should be installed in every pump for greater protection, such as the Q Alert for indoor use, rated NEMA I. For additional control panels contact your HYDROMATIC distributor.

8. Connect to power source using 3-prong grounded AC receptacle. Do not remove ground pin from electrical plug. Do not use an extension cord.

9. Use pump partially or completely submerged for pumping water like liquids (temperature to 140° F). The SP50 will pump solid materials up to 1-1/2″ (spherical) in This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.

10. Caution: Do not pump flammable liquids, strong chemicals or salt water.

Pump Installation

Pump Servicing

Read the following instructions carefully before replacing any parts. Reasonable care and safe methods should be practiced. Check local codes and requirements before installation. Only competent electrician should make the installations.
Servicing should be performed only by knowledgeable pump service contractor or authorized service station.

Remove from power source.
WARNING: Shock hazard.

1. Checking power cord. To be sure wires are not burned off or broken in cord, use ohmmeter to Set ohmmeter scale pointer to R X 1 scale and attach one meter lead to white cord wire and one meter lead to black cord lead, then place screwdriver blade across blade terminals of plug. If cord is OK, meter needle will go to zero and stay there. If meter needle does not move, this will indicate an open wire and cord must be replaced.

2. Checking motor operation. When switch cap is off and switch is removed, connect two terminals that were connected to switch together and tape. Plug power cord in power receptacle to check motor operation. Motor should start and run smoothly. If motor does not start, pump must be dismantled and motor checked.
   CAUTION: Be sure to unplug cord before continuing or reassembly if pump is functional.

3. Checking motor stator. If motor does not run when tested as described above, the stator must be removed from the housing and checked. Remove plug (12) from top of housing, and pour oil in container, preferably glass, so that oil can be observed.
   If oil is clear it will indicate motor is not burned and there has been no water leaking into the motor. If oil is cloudy or black, it will indicate water in the motor or a burned stator.
   After draining oil, remove bolts (10) and remove cord nut (25) from motor cord (21). Remove rubber seal ring from around cord. Turn cord and lift up until seal ring (26) is removed. Pry between ears of housing (24) to remove from base. Disconnect motor cord from stator and remove bolts (2) and plate. Lift stator from base. If stator is visibly burned, it must be replaced. If stator is not burned but the oil shows signs of water, stator can be checked with the ohmmeter to see if it can be reused.

4. ground check. Set ohmmeter scale pointer to r X 100K scale and check meter by putting both meter leads together and adjusting the needle knob until meter reads zero.  if meter cannot be adjusted to zero it will indicate that batteries in meter must be replaced. check meter to zero and adjust if necessary before making any checks on  motor. Now connect one meter lead to one blade terminal of stator and touch other meter lead to motor stator shell. if needle reads below 5 (500,000 ohms) stator must  be dried out before rechecking. To dry out, place motor in 220 degree oven for four hours. recheck after motor cools. if motor is new or thoroughly dry, needle of  ohmmeter will not move on the ground check: This indicates a reading of 50 megohms or higher. one megohm is one million ohms.
   When making the ground check, if the needle goes to zero the motor in all probability has a wire touching the stator shell at some point and the stator will have to be replaced.
   

5. Winding resistance test. If motor shows a satisfactory ground check then the winding resistance must be checked. Use ohmmeter with scale pointer set on R X 1 scale. On this scale, meter reads directly on ohms. Always check the meter with leads together as described above, under ground check, before making a reading on the winding. Connect one meter lead to the terminal with the brown wire connected underneath the terminal board. Connect the other lead to the terminal housing with the blue wire. Meter should read 1.2 to 1.4 ohms; this is the resistance of the main winding for a 115 volt stator. This reading for a 230 volt stator should be 4.8 to 5.9 ohms. Now connect one meter lead to the brown wire terminal and the other meter lead to the red wire beneath the terminal board. The meter should read 3.8 to 5.4 ohms for a 110 volt stator. For a 230 volt stator this reading should be 16 to 21 ohms. This is the resistance of the start winding. Now connect one meter lead to the red wire and one to the blue wire. The meter reading should be the sum of the other two readings or 5.0 to 6.8 ohms for a 115 volt stator or 20.8 to 26.9 ohms for a 230 volt stator. If the readings obtained do not agree with those given, the stator is defective and must be replaced.

NOTE: in sumps where the pump is operating daily, air locking rarely occurs.
