ALL A P P L I C A B L E L A W S A N D R E G U L AT I O N S S H A L L A P P LY.
WARNING
Installation, wiring, and j u n c t i o n co n n e c t i o n s m u s t b e i n accordance with the National Electric Code and all applicable state and local codes. Requirements may vary depending on usage and location.
WARNING
I n s t a l l a t i o n a n servicing is to be conducted by qualified personnel only.
Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. Do not insert fingers in pump with power connected; the impeller can cause serious injury
Always wear eye protection when working on pumps. Do not wear loose clothing that may become entangled in moving parts.
**DANGER
**
Pumps build up heat and pressure during operation. Allow time for pumps to cool before handling or servicing the pump or any accessory items associated with or near the pump.
**DANGER
**
This pump is not intended for use in swimming pools or water installations where there is human contact with pumped fluid
DANGER
Risk of electric shock. To reduce risk of electric shock, always disconnect pump from power source before handling any aspect of the pumping system. L ock out power and tag.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. To reduce risk of electric shock, always disconnect pump from power source before handling any aspect of the pumping system. Lock out power and tag.
WARNING
D o n o t u s e t h e s e pumps in water over 160º F. Do not exceed manufacturers recommended maximum performance, as this could cause the motor to overheat.
DANGER
Operation against a closed discharge valve will cause premature bearing and seal failure. Heat build up on self-priming and end suction pumps may cause dangerous pressures. A high temperature switch o r p r e s s u r e r e l i e f v a l v e i s recommended to be installed in pump case.
WARNING
C a r e f u l l y r e a d instruction manuals supplied with motor or engine before operating or servicing
WARNING
Pumps construct ted w i t h o r f i t t e d w i t h bronze/brass may contain lead levels higher than considered safe for potable water systems. Lead is known to cause cancer and birth defects or other r e p r o d u c t i v e h a r m . V a r i o u s g o v e r n m e n t a g e n c i e s h a v e determined that leaded copper alloys should not be used in potable water applications.

Receiving inspection
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage has occurred, file a claim immediately with the company that delivered the pump. If the manual is removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace. -
Storage
Any product that is stored for a period longer than six (6) months from the date of purchase should be bench tested prior to installation. A bench test consists of, checking the impeller to assure it is free turning and a run test to assure the motor (and switch if provided) operate properly -
Location
Locate pump as near as possible to the liquid being pumped. Do Not place pump more that 25 feet above the surface of the liquid supply. Be sure pump is level. Mount pump on a firmly so not to move due to vibration -
Controls
Manual models require a separate approved pump control device or panel for automatic operation. Be sure the electrical specification of the control selected properly match the electrical specifications of the pump. -
Motor Connection
All wiring of motor and control, overload protection and grounding should be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, State and Local codes. Make motor connection per label located on motor or motor manufactures manual. -
Rotation
Pump rotation should agree with the direction on the rotation plate. If rotation on 3 phase is incorrect, interchange any two incoming wire leads. Rotation is “clockwise” when looking from the motor end. -
Suction
CAUTION! – Pump should not be operated without a suction strainer to prevent foreign matter from being drawn into impeller. The strainer should be cleaned regularly.
The use of pipe the same size as the port size is highly recommended. Using a smaller pipe line can cause internal damage. Make sure all lines are have air-tight joints. The smallest air leak in the suction line may prevent the pump from priming. All horizontal suction lines should slope up to the pump to avoid trapped air pockets. -
Discharge
Connect discharge hose or pipe to the discharge port. Make sure all lines are have air-tight joints. -
Priming
Remove pipe plug in top of body and fill the pump body completely with solids free liquid. In freezing weather prime pump with warm water.
DO NOT operate pump without priming first. Operating dry will damage seal. -
tarting
To start pump, apply power to motor per the Motor manufactures instructions. -
Shutdown
Disconnect electric power to shut down. It is recommended to drain and fl ush pump if pump has been operating in freezing weather. -
Service
Turn offand lock out power before servicing pump. To replace, the HINGE section of gasket is at the TOP and the LARGE weight is on the pump side of gasket. -
Body, Volute & Impeller
Disconnect suction and discharge piping. Remove hex nuts and lockwashers then remove body from intermediate coupling. Pull volute from intermediate. On BSP3CCE remove set screw on BSP4CCE & BSP5CCE remove hex nut, on BSP10CCE through BSP25CCE’s remove capscrew, and unscrew the impeller from motor shaft in the right hand direction. Take note of the size and quantity of shims & used. To reassemble, use the required number of shims and to result in an impeller-to-volute clearance of .015”max. -
Shaft Seal
Remove rotating member, spring and retaining ring of seal from shaft. Remove stationary by prying out with screwdriver. If any part shows wear or damage replace complete seal.
Handle all seal parts with care. Do Not damage lapped faces.
To reassemble, lightly oil ring and press stationary member over shaft and into intermediate coupling. Lightly oil motor shaft and inner surface of bellows of rotating member. With lapped surface facing intermediate coupling, slide rotating member onto shaft until lapped faces are of rotating member and stationary together. -
Motor
Remove caps crews and lock washers to remove motor and slinger.
REASSEMBLE PUMP IN OPPOSITE ORDER.
