General Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

• This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the C8050 & C8100 pumps. You will need to refer to it before attempting any installation or maintenance.
• ALWAYS keep these instructions with the unit so that they will be easily accessible.
• Failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Warning: Risk of electric shock. To reduce this risk, observe the following precautions.

• ALWAYS disconnect the pump from the power source before servicing or making adjustments.
• NEVER handle the pump or motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface while the pump is plugged into the power source.
• MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This pump is wired with a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is only connected to a properly grounded, 3-prong receptacle (preferably with ground fault circuit interrupt). If you have a 2-prong receptacle, have a licensed electrician replace it with a 3-prong receptacle according to local codes and ordinances.
• NEVER bypass grounding wires or remove the ground prong from the plug.
• DO NOT use an extension cord. The electrical outlet should be within the length of the pump’s power cord, and at least 4 feet above the floor level to minimize potential hazards from flood conditions.
  • DO protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
  • MAKE SURE the supply circuit has a dedicated fuse or circuit breaker rated to handle the power requirements noted on the nameplate of the pump.
  • NEVER install the pump in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
  • ALWAYS install the pump in accordance with the National Electric Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a licensed electrician.

Caution: To reduce the risk of hazards that can cause injury or property damage, observe the following precautions.

• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to carry the pump. Use the pump handle.
• DO NOT operate the pump if it has been damaged in any way.
• ALWAYS use a float switch that is compatible with the pumped fluid.
• DO drill an air bleed hole 3/16” (4.7mm) in the discharge pipe when a check valve is used. Drill the hole angled toward the bottom of the sump to avoid splashing fluid outside the sump pit. If a hole is not drilled above the pump, an air lock may prevent the pump from operating. The best location for the hole is above the normal fluid level. The hole must be drilled below the check valve.
• DO NOT use pump in pits handling fluids that are not compatible with the pump component parts. Refer to the chemical compatibility chart.
• DO NOT disassemble the pump. When service is required, contact Glentronics technical support at 800-991-0466 for additional directions.

NOTE: After the initial installation, be sure to check the operation by filling the sump and observing the pump operation through several full cycles. For continuous duty operation, the pump must be submerged at least 3/4 of the depth of the pump at all times. In instances where the discharge line is exposed to freezing temperatures, the pipe must be sloped downward so any remaining water will drain out. Failure to do so will prevent water from exiting the sump and damage the pump if the line freezes.

Installation

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

1. Visually inspect your pump. Products may be damaged during shipping. If the product has been damaged, contact your place of purchase or Glentronics, Inc. before installation.
2. Thoroughly read the instructions provided to learn specific details regarding installation and use. This manual should be retained for future reference.

INSTALLING THE PUMP

_ Warning: _This installation must be in accordance with the National Electric Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.

1. Use a pit that conforms to all local codes and is large enough to accommodate the pump and float switch.
2. Clean the pit of all debris. The pump’s intake screen must be kept clear.
3. The pump should not be set directly onto a clay, earthen, or sand base. Install bricks or blocks under the pump to provide a solid base.
4. The pump should be level.
5. Install discharge plumbing according to local, regional and state codes. Rigid PVC pipe is recommended.
6. The discharge outlets on the pumps are 2”. Try to match the size of the discharge pipe to the size of the outlet on the pump to maintain the optimum pumping capacity.
7. An inline check valve is recommended to prevent backflow. This check valve is mandatory when sharing a discharge line with another pump (i.e. a backup pump or a second primary pump).
   • NOTE: When using a check valve, an air bleed hole of 3/16” (4.7mm) needs to be drilled in the discharge pipe. The hole should be below the check valve, but above the water line. A small stream of water will escape through this air bleed hole when the pump is running, so the hole should be drilled at an angle toward the bottom of the sump pit.
8. Install a gate valve or ball valve as required by any codes.
9. Secure the power cord to the discharge pipe with wire ties or clamps to prevent interference with the float assembly (if used).
10. A pit cover is recommended for all installations as a safety measure, and to prevent debris from falling into the pit.
11. In instances where the discharge line is exposed to freezing temperatures, the pipe must be positioned in a downward slope so any remaining water will drain away. Failure to do this will prevent water from exiting the pit and damage the pump if the line freezes.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION

1. After the initial installation, be sure to check the pump operation by filling the sump with water and observing the pump through several full cycles.
   • NOTE: When the pump activates, it should have a “normal pumping” sound. Any abnormal sound, vibration, or lack of output is the signal of a problem. Stop the pump and refer to the troubleshooting guide.
2. Replace the pit cover making sure not to pinch or crimp the pump wire with the cover. The pit cover either has a ‘hole punch’ that will allow the cord to be passed through or one can be drilled.

Operation

OPERATING THE PUMP IN A CONTINUOUS-DUTY APPLICATION

C8050 and C8100 pumps are rated for continuous duty and may be used in applications requiring continuous pumping including fountains, ponds, etc. For use in any continuous-duty application, the pump should be plugged directly into the wall outlet without the use of a controller. The outlet must be a single-phase properly grounded 3-prong receptacle, 115V, 60Hz (preferably with ground fault circuit interrupt). For continuous-duty operation, the pump must be submerged at least 3/4 of the depth of the pump at all times.

Maintenance

Maintenance should be performed 1-2 times per year

1. Remove all debris from the bottom of the pit and the pump strainer.
2. Remove all debris floating in the water.
3. Remove all debris from the float switch.
4. Fill the pit with water. Make sure pump turns on at the intended level.
5. While the pump is running, make sure pump is evacuating water at a good pace.
6. While the pump is running, make sure a stream of water is escaping from the air bleed hole. If not, clear the hole of any deposits or debris.

Notes:

1. The above list of chemicals is based on the chemical resistance of the pump component materials (304 stainless-steel pump housing, motor housing, impeller and hardware and with the carbon/ceramic/Viton mechanical shaft sealand PVC-jacketed line cord). It is based upon information from material suppliers and careful examination of available published information.
2. Since the resistance of metals, plastics and elastomers can be affected by concentration, temperature, presence of other chemicals and other factors, the above listing should only be considered as a general guide.
3. It is the responsibility of the user to determine the suitability of the pump with the pumped fluid.
