SAFETY

Pump installations are seldom identical. Each installation and application can vary due

to many different factors. It is the owner/service mechanics responsibility to repair,

service, and test to ensure that the pump integrity is not compromised according to this

manual.

Risk of electric shock – this pump has not been investigated for use

in swimming pool areas.

Do not pump flammable, inflammable or volatile liquids. Death

or serious injury will result.

Before attempting to open or service the pump:

1) Familiarize yourself with this manual.

2) Unplug or disconnect the pump power cable to ensure that the pump will remain

inoperative.

3) Allow the pump to cool if overheated.

Do not operate the pump with a worn or damaged electric power

cable. Death or serious injury could occur.

Never attempt to alter the length or repair any power cable with a

splice. The pump motor and pump motor and cable must be completely waterproof.

Damage to the pump or personal injury may result from alterations.

After the pump has been installed, make sure that the pump and all

piping are secure before operation.

Do not lift the pump by the power cable piping or discharge hose.

Attach proper lifting equipment to the lifting handle (or lifting rings) fitted to the pump. Do

not suspend the pump by the power cable.

Obtain the services of a qualified electrician to troubleshoot, test

and/or service the electrical components of this pump.

Pumps and related equipment must be installed and operated

according to all national, local and industry standards.

INSPECTION

Review all safety information before servicing pump.

The following are recommended installation practices/procedures for the pump. If there

are questions in regards to your specific application, contact your local BJM Pumps

distributor or BJM Pumps, LLC.

PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION

1) Check the pump for damage that may have occurred during shipment.

2) Inspect the pump for any cracks, dents, damaged threads, etc.

3) Check power cable (and seal minder cable, if installed) for any cuts or damage.

4) Check for, and tighten any hardware that appears loose.

5) Carefully read all tags, decals and markings on the pump.

6) Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate, amps, voltage, phase, and

HP ratings match your control panel and power supply.

Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting pumps and controls to an

incorrect power source (voltage/phase supply). Record the model numbers and serial

numbers from the pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction manual for

future reference. Give it to the owner or affix it to the control panel when finished with

the installation.

If anything appears to be abnormal, contact your BJM Pumps distributor or BJM Pumps,

LLC. If damaged, the pump may need to be repaired before use. Do not install or use

the pump until appropriate action has been taken.

Lubrication:

No additional lubrication is necessary. The shaft seal and bearings are fully lubricated

from the factory. Seal oil should be checked once per year. See table below.

OIL FILL QUANTITY/TYPE

Oil in seal chamber

Model U.S. fl. oz. cc. Type of oil

SV400F 5.1 150 ISO 32 NSF Food Grade Mineral Oil

SV750CF 9.3 275 ISO 32 NSF Food Grade Mineral Oil

SV1500CF 9.3 275 ISO 32 NSF Food Grade Mineral Oil

Note: The stator on this model is oil filled. This needs to be changed annually

when the seal oil is changed. With the power cable entry removed, fill the motor

chamber with oil to a level that insures the oil is covering the motor windings by

½”, and that will be above the upper bearing. Do not overfill, an air gap of 10-15%

must be maintained for heat expansion.

PUMP INSTALLATION

SVF Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions.

Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.

Risk of electric shock. Pump models; SV400, SV750 (115v) are

supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. 230V single

phase pumps and all three phase pumps do not come with electric plug connectors. To

reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly

grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

Lifting:

Attach a rope or lifting chain (not included) to the handle (or lifting rings) on the top of

the pump.

Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/piping.

Proper lifting equipment (rope/chain) must be used.

POSITIONING THE PUMP

BJM Pumps, SVF Series pumps are designed to operate fully or partially submerged.

Avoid running the pump dry for extended periods of time. Refer to data sheet for

minimum submersion depth for your particular model. Data sheets can be obtained

online at www.bjmpumps.com or by calling BJM Pumps, LLC at 860-399-5937. As a

general rule, SVF Series side discharge pumps can pump down to a level above the

suction cover. Pumping lower than the cover will permit air to enter the pump and

cavitate, lose prime or become air bound.

•Do not run the pump dry.

•Pump liquid should not exceed a maximum temperature of 104°F.

•Never place the pump on loose or soft ground. The pump may sink, preventing

water from reaching the impeller. Place on a solid surface or suspend the pump

with a lifting rope/chain. The SVF Series pumps are provided with a suction

strainer to prevent large solids from clogging the impeller. Any spherical solids

which pass through the strainer should pass through the pump.

•For maximum pumping capacity, use the proper size non-collapsible hose or rigid

piping. A check valve may be installed after the discharge to prevent back flow

when the pump is shut off.

PUMP ROTATION

If wired properly to the control, the single phase BJM Pumps SV-F Series pump should

operate with the correct pumping rotation. Verification is recommended prior to installing

into the sump basin.

Two ways to check the correct pump rotation:

1. By looking at the impeller; the rotation of the impeller should be counter

clockwise as shown in the picture below.

2. By looking from the top of the pump. Since the impeller cannot be seen, the best

way to check the rotation is to check the kick back motion of the pump when the

pump just starts. The kick back motion of the pump should be counter clockwise

as shown in the picture below.

PUMP OPERATION

This pump is designed to handle dirty water that contains some

solids. It is not designed to pump volatile or flammable liquids. Do not attempt to pump

any liquids which may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump

failure.

Do not operate this pump where explosive vapors or

flammable material exist. Death or Serious injury may result.

TYPICAL MANUAL DEWATERING INSTALLATION

NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.

MANUAL OPERATION

All SVF models are provided with a 50’ (15 m) power cable. NEVER splice the power

cable due to safety and warranty considerations. Always keep the plug end dry.

Do not alter the length or repair any power cable with a splice. The

pump motor and cable must be completely waterproof. Damage to the pump or

personal injury may result from alterations.

The BJM Pumps, SV-F series pumps require a special control that contains the starting

components, thermal sensor and Seal Minder connections. These pumps cannot be

directly connected to a power source.

TYPICAL AUTOMATIC DEWATERING INSTALLATION

NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.

STOPPING

To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode),turn the pump off at the control, turn off

the breaker, and/or turn the power source off (generator).

CONTROL PANELS CONNECTION OPTIONS

Use with approved motor control that matches motor input in full

load amperes. “UTILLISER UN DÉMARREAR APPROUVÉ CONVENANT AU

COURANT Á PLEINE CHARGE DU MOTEUR.”

BJM Pumps has been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions. Please

contact the manufacturer for additional information.

SINGLE PHASE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP

FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied

with a three prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical

shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The

three prong plug must be inserted into a mating three prong grounded receptacle. IF

the installation does not have such a receptacle it must be changed to the proper type,

wired and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable

local codes and ordinances.

“Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cable and

strain relief or connect conduit directly to the pump.

Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should

be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
