Recommendations and Warnings
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.
Submergence
The pump should always be operated in the submerged condition. The minimum
sump liquid level should never be less than above the pump’s volute (See
Figure 1).
Installation
These pumps are recommended for use in a sump, basin or lift station. The
sump, basin or lift station shall be sealed and vented in accordance with
local plumbing codes. This pump is designed to pump sewage, effluent or
wastewater, non-explosive and non-corrosive liquids and shall NOT be installed
in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electric Code (CEC). The pump
should never be installed in a trench, ditch, or hole with a dirt bottom. The
legs will sink into the dirt and the suction will become plugged.in simplex or
duplex stations or basins with a slide rail system (Barmesa SRC), which allows
the pump(s) to be installed or removed without requiring personnel to enter
the station, or resting on the basin floor.
Discharge Piping
Discharge piping should be as short as possible and sized no smaller than the
pump discharge. Do not reduce the discharge pipe size below that which is
provided on the pump. Both a check valve and a shut-off valve are recommended
for each pump. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. The
shut-off valve is used to manually stop system low during pump servicing.
Liquid Level Controls
The level control(s) should be mounted on the discharge piping, a cable rack
or float pole. The level control should have adequate clearance so it cannot
hang up in it’s swing and that the pump is completely submerged when the level
control is in the “Off ” mode. By adjusting the cord tether the control level
can be changed. One cycle of operation should be observed, so that any
potential problems can be corrected. It is recommended that the level control
float should be set to insure that the liquid in the sump never drops below
the top of the motor housing or a minimum level of 10 inches above the basin
floor.
Overload Protection
Single Phase – The stator in-winding overload protector used is referred to as
an inherent overheating protector and operates on the combined effect of
temperature and current. This means that the overload protector will trip out
and shut the pump off if the windings become too hot, or the load current
passing through them becomes too high.
IMPORTANT! – The overload will then automatically reset and start the pump up after the motor cools to a safe temperature. In the event of an overload, the source of this condition should be determined and corrected immediately.
WARNING DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO CYCLE OR RUN IF AN OVERLOAD CONDITION
OCCURS.
If current through the temperature sensor exceeds the values listed, an
intermediate control circuit relay must be used to reduce the current or the
sensor will not work properly.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR ELECTRICAL RATINGS
Volts| Continuous Amperes| Inrush Amperes
110-120| 3.00| 30.0
220-240| 1.50| 15.0
440-480| 0.75| 7.5
600| 0.60| 6.0
Wire Size
If longer power cable is required consult a qualified electrician for proper
wire size.
Pre-Operation
-
Check Voltage and Phase -Compare the voltage and phase information stamped on the pump name plate.
-
Check Pump Rotation – Improper motor rotation can result in poor pump performance and can damage the motor and/or pump. Check rotation on three phase units by momentarily applying power and observe the “kickback”.
-
Kickback should always be in a counter-clockwise direction as viewed from motor end or opposite to impeller rotation. Impeller rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed from bottom of pump.
Name Plate – Record the information from the pump name. -
Pump-Down Test – Be sure pump has been properly wired, lowered into the basin, sump or lift station, check the system by filling with liquid and allowing the pump to operate through its pumping cycle. The time needed to empty the system, or pump-down time along with the volume of water, should be recorded.
Maintenance
No lubrication or maintenance is required. Perform the following checks when pump is removed from operation or when pump performance deteriorates:
- Inspect motor chamber for oil level and contamination.
- Inspect impeller and body for excessive build-up or clogging.
- Inspect motor, bearings and shaft seal for wear or leakage.
Servicing
NOTE: Item numbers in ( ) refer to Figures 6 through 13. Cooling Oil –
Anytime the pump is removed from operation, the cooling oil in the motor
housing should be checked visually for oil level and contamination. To check
oil, set unit upright. Remove pipe plug (20) from housing (4). With a
flashlight, visually inspect the oil in the housing (4) to make sure it is
clean and clear, light amber in color and free.
Pressure Test (If oil has been drained)
Remove pipe plug (20) from housing (4). Apply pipe sealant to pressure gauge
assembly and tighten into hole. Pressurize motor housing to 10 P.S.I. Use soap
solution around the sealed areas and inspect joints for “air bubbles”. If,
after five minutes, the pressure is still holding constant, and no “bubbles”
are observed, slowly bleed the pressure and remove the gauge assembly. Replace
oil. Leek must be located and repaired if pressure does not hold. Pressure
Test (If oil has NOT been drained) – Oil should be at normal level. Remove
pipe plug (20) from housing (4). Apply pipe sealant to pressure gauge assembly
and tighten into hole. Pressurize motor housing to 10 PSI. Use soap solution
around the sealed areas above the oil level and inspect joints for “air
bubbles”. For sealed areas below oil level, leeks will seep oil. If, after
five minutes, the pressure is still holding constant, and no “bubbles”, oil
seepage is observed, slowly bleed the pressure and remove the gauge assembly.
Replace oil. Leek must be located and repaired if pressure does not
hold.Pressure builds up extremely fast, increase pressure by “TAPPING” air
nozzle. Too much pressure will damage seal. DO NOT exceed 10 PSI.
Oil Replacement – Set unit upright and refill with new cooling oil as per table below. Fill to just above motor, but below capacitor as an air space must remain in the top of the housing to compensate for oil expansion. Apply pipe thread compound to threads of pipe plug (20) then assemble to housing (4).

Pump will not run
| 1. Poor electrical connection, blown fuse, tripped breaker or other interruption of power; improper power supply
2. Motor or switch inoperative (go to manual operation)
2a. Float movement restricted
2b. Switch will not activate pump or is defective 2c. Defective motor
3. Insufficient liquid level
| 1. Check all electrical connections for security. Have electrician measure current in motor leads, if current is within ± 20% of locked rotor Amps, impeller is probably locked. If current is 0, overload may be tripped. Remove power, allow pump to cool, then re-check current.
2a. Reposition pump or clean basin as required to provide adaquate clearance for float
2b. Disconnect level control. Set ohmmeter for a low rang, such as 100 ohms full scale and connect to level control leads. Actuate level control manually and check to see that ohmmeter shows zero ohms for closed switch and full scale for open switch. (Float Switch)
2c. Check winding insulation (Megger Test) and winding resistance. If check is outside of range, dry and re-check. If still defective, replace per service instructions.
3. Make sure liquid level is above the pump
4. Re-check all sizing calculations to determine proper pump size.
5. Check discharge line for restrictions, including ice if line passes through or into cold areas.
6. Remove and examine check valve for proper
. in c stallation an o d freedom of op m eration
7. Open valve
8. Check impeller for freedom of operation, security and condition. Clean impeller cavity and inlet of any obstruction
9. Loosen union slightly to allow trapped air to escape. Verify that turn- off level of switch is set so that the suction is always flooded. Clean vent hole
10. Check rotation. If power supply is three phase, reverse any two of three power supply leads to ensure proper impeller rotation
11. Repair fixtures as required to eliminate leakage
12. Check pump temperature limits and fluid temperature
13. Replace portion of discharge pipe with flexible connector or tighten existing piping.
14. Turn to automatic position
15. Check for leaks around basin inlet and outlets
Pump will not turn off
| 2a. Float movement restricted
2b. Switch will not activate pump or is defective
4. Excessive inflow or pump not properly sized for application
9. Pump may be air locked causing pump not to flow
14. H-O-A switch on panel is in “HAND” position
Pump hums but doesn’t run
| 1. Incorrect low voltage
8. Impeller jammed or loose on shaft, or inlet plugged
Pump deliv a ers insufficient r capacity m| 1. Incorrect low voltage
4. Excessive inflow or pump not properly sized for application
5. Discharge restricted
6. Check valve partially closed or installed backwards
7. Shut e -off valve closed sa
8. Impeller jammed or loose on shaft, or inlet
plugged
9. Pump may be air locked causing pump not to flow
10. Piping fixtures leaking or discharge before the nozzle
Pump cycles too frequently or runs periodically when fixtures are not in use| 6. Check valve partially closed or installed backwards
11. Fixtures are leaking
15. Ground water entering basin
Pump shuts off and turns on independent of switch, (trips thermal overload protector). CAUTION! Pump may start unexpectedly. Disconnect power supply.
| 1. Incorrect low voltage
4. Excessive inflow or pump not properly sized for application
8. Impeller jammed or loose on shaft, or inlet plugged
12. Excessive water temperature (internal protection only)
Pump operates noisily or vibrates excessively
| 2c. Worn bearings, motor shaft bent
5. Debris in impeller cavity or broken impeller
10. Pump running backwards
13. Piping attachments to building structure too loose or rigid
