BK17 Condensate Removal Pump
User Manual

INSTALLATION

Select a location for the TANK that is level and below the condensate pan drain.
The unit may be mounted on a wall by MULTI-SLOT METAL MOUNT TABS on the tank, which are 8.0”, 8.35”, 9.33”, 10.3” or 10.65” apart.
The BULLSEYE LEVEL helps to confirm the pump is installed level.
Connect the CONDENSATE DRAIN, using flexible tubing or PVC pipe into one of the four top inlets. When removing the inlet cover, make sure it does not remain inside the tank. Be sure the tubing or pipe extends below the lid 1” or more but not all the way to the bottom (obstructing inlet flow or causing a siphon).
Discharge connection to CHECK VALVE may be made with 3/8” vinyl tubing secured by hose clamp (not included). NOTE: If it becomes necessary to replace the check valve, a check valve replacement kit is available. Instructions for installing are included in the kit.
Once the DISCHARGE TUBING has been extended to the required height it should be slanted downward, if possible, to assist drainage. NOTE: For best results, do not extend discharge tubing beyond 17’ vertically for BK17 and 22’ for BK22. (Refer to performance chart.)
The SAFETY SWITCH leads should be connected for proper operation of the pump. Using this feature may prevent damage from condensation overflowing if the discharge becomes blocked or pump fails. The leads may be connected in series with the low voltage thermostat circuit to shut down heating/air-conditioning system if water level in pump tank rises beyond normal, or they may be connected to an external alarm.
To provide maximum mounting positions the tank LID may be removed and rotated 180º so that check valve will be on the opposite side of the unit. To remove the LID from the TANK, insert a slotted screwdriver in the lid’s slot and pry the tank outward, while lifting the lid. After removing and rotating, be sure LID snaps back into place firmly.
When all mounting and water connections are secure, connect unit to electrical supply.

WARNING: This pump is supplied with a 3-prong grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to properly grounded receptacle.

Do not pump flammable liquids.
Do not use this pump in explosive areas.
Do not run dry.
Do not handle unit with wet hands or while standing in water.
Do not connect to any voltage other than that shown-on nameplate.
Always disconnect this unit from its electrical supply before servicing.
Connect safety switch for proper operation.
For Indoor use only.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
DISCONNECT FROM ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING.
All Beckett pumps are carefully tested prior to shipment to insure long, trouble-free service. However, if pump is used in a dirty environment or is pumping other than clear, condensate water, the tank should be removed and cleaned periodically with soap and water. If pump fails to run, please check the following:

Be sure the pump is getting electrical power. Try another outlet to be sure.
Examine discharge tubing for any kinks or blockages. Also, be certain that intake tubing or pipe is not obstructed.
Disconnect power and remove the ENCLOSURE, item 2, and spin the FAN, item 3, by hand to be sure that the motor is free.
Be certain that the MAIN SWITCH, item 1, and the SAFETY SWITCH, item 4, are fully “snapped” into their mounts.
If further disassembly is required, push the sides, item 5, on both ends, to remove the TANK, item 6.
Examine the PUMP-CHECKVALVE ASSEMBLY, at its INTAKE, item 7, for any obstructions. The CHECKVALVE, item 8, can be removed by pressing the BLOCKING PLATE, item 9, and then turning the CHECKVALVE counterclockwise.
