They are fitted with integral thermal protectors and can be connected directly
to mains power supply through a suitably rated fuse or MCB, though additional
protection is recommended where there is risk of voltage fluctuation.

INSTALLATION
- Lower the pump into the well by attaching a chain or rope to the grip to install the pump.
- The pump must not be installed on its side or operated under dry condition. Ensure that it is installed upright on a secure base.
- Install the pump at a location in the tank SlopWaterLevel where there is least turbulence.
- If there is flow inside the tank, support the piping appropriately. The pipes must be installed such as to prevent air lock, if unavoidable, an air release valve must be installed wherever such air pockets are likely to develop.
- The end of discharge pipe should not be submerged as back flow will result when the pump is shut down.
- Install the float switch as shown in the figure above. The pump may not start if the float switch touches the wall of the water tank or the piping.
warning If the pump is operated continuously for an extended period of time in a dry condition or at the lowest water level, the motor will overload and shut down. Prolonged overheating will shorten pump service life. Do not start the pump again in such a situation until after the motor has completely cooled.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
warning The installer is responsible for making electrical connections to the mains supply in compliance with relevant local regulations. Ensure that a professional electrician carries out the electrical connections and that the following guidelines are followed:-
- All installations must be provided with an isolator to cut off mains power supply and coarse current protection in the form of a fuse or MCB rated at 2-3 times the full load current as given on the pump plate.
- Ensure that the power supply rating complies with the specification on the pump rating plate.
- Electrical connections must be made according to details in the pump junction box cover and effective earthing must be provided according to local regulations.
- The motors being single-phase are protected against overloads by a thermal overload fitted in the motor windings.
MAINTENANCE
- Regularly check the current readings. If fluctuating, foreign matter may be clogging the pump. Also if pump output reduces, foreign matter may be present and the pumps hydraulic end should be checked and cleaned.
- Measure the insulation resistance monthly. The value should be more than l M ohm. If resistance starts to fall rapidly even with an initial indication of over l M ohm, this will be an indication of a reduction in motor integrity and a qualified electrician should be consulted.
- To prolong the service life of the mechanical seal, replace the oil in the mechanical seal chamber once a year.
- Water mixed with the oil or cloudy mixtures are indications of a defective mechanical seal which requires replacement. When replacing the oil, lay the pump on its side with filler plug on top and inject suitable amount of turbine oil No.32 (ISO VG-32)
- After 3-Syears conduct an overhaul of the pump, for general maintenance.
- Replace the appropriate part when the following conditions are apparent.
