Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual
or on pump.
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on
your pump or in this manual, look for one of the following
signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury!
DANGER warns about hazards that will cause
serious personal injury, death or major
property damage if ignored.
WARNING warns about hazards that can cause
serious personal injury, death or major property
damage if ignored.
CAUTION warns about hazards that
will or can cause minor personal injury,
or property damage if ignored.
The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which are important but
not related to hazards.
To avoid serious or fatal personal injury and possible property
damage, carefully read and follow the safety instructions.
Under certain conditions, submersible pumps
1. HAZARDOUScan develop extremely high pressure. Installa pressure
relief valve capable of passing entire
PRESSURE pump flow at 75 psi.
Do not allow pump, piping, or any other system component
containing water to freeze. Freezing may damage system,
leading to injury or flooding. Allowing pump or system components to
freeze will void warranty.
Can shock burn or cause death. To avoid
2.dangerous or fatal electric shock hazard,
use pump only in an effluent system.
DO NOT Install pump in an open body of
water (lake, swimming, etc.).
Install, ground and wire pump according to local and Canadian
Electrical Code or National Electrical Code requirements that
apply.
Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing pump.
Make sure motor nameplate voltage and frequency match line
voltage and frequency of power supply.
1. Install pump according to all plumbing, pump and well
coderequirements.
2. Install an all leg disconnect switch in the power supply near
thepump.
3. Two-wire motors are equipped with automatic thermal
overloadprotection which will open the circuit and stop the motor
when a thermal overload (excessive heating) exists. When motor
cools, overload will rest and motor will restart automatically. This
can cause the motor to start unexpectedly and without warning!
GENERAL
Inspect pump and motor for delivery damage. Report any damage
Immediately to shipping carrier or to Clearstream immediately.
Have any installation, repair, or service work done by your Clearstream
dealer.
Never run pump dry.
During system operation, pump must be submerged at all times.
Pipe joint compound can cause cracking in plastics. Use only teflon
tape when sealing joints in plastic pipe or connecting pipe to
thermoplastic pumps.
Warranty is void in the following conditions: *
Water is highly corrosive.
*If entrained gas or air present in water being pumped reduce the
flowand cause cavitation (which can damage the pump).
*Pump has been operated with discharge valve closed (severe
internaldamage may result).
ELECTRICAL
WIRING/GROUNDING
Can shock, burn, or cause death. Permanently
Ground pump, motor and control box before
Connecting power supply to motor.
Ground pump and motor in accordance with all codes and ordinances
that apply. All wiring must meet National Electrical Code and Canadian
Electrical Code (whichever applies). Use copper ground wire at least as
large as wires carrying current to motor.
Motor is supplied with copper ground wire. Splice to copper conductor
that matches motor wire size specified in Table 2. Use only copper wire
for connections to pump.
Permanently ground pump and motor before connecting power cable to
power supply. Connect ground wire to approved ground first, then connect
to equipment being installed.
Do not ground to a gas supply line.
Float switches or any other approved motor control must match motor
input to full load amperes.
For more information, contact your local code officials.
INSTALLATION WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Single Phase, 2 Wire
2-Wire pumps have two power supply wires (Red/Black) and one
ground wire (Green).
1. Fasten power supply wire leads securely to pump discharge
section;leave 4-5” of slack in leads at this point. Securely fasten leads
to plastic pipe within 6” of the pump discharge section.
2. Ground wire must be as large as wires supplying current to
motor.Consult current National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical
Code (as applicable) and local codes for grounding information.
3. Use only submersible power supply wires supplied by pump
manufacturer. When installing pump, secure supply wires to
discharge pipe with Scotch #33 electrical tape. DO NOT damage
pump wires.
NOTICE: To avoid dropping or damaging wires or splices,
NEVER allow pump wires to support weight of pump.
EFFLUENT APPLICATIONS
Pumps designed and tested for effluent applications must meet the
following:
Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove cord and strain
relief. Do not connect conduit to pipe.
1. Only qualified personnel should install the pump and
associatedcontrol equipment.
2. Vent sewage tank according to local codes.
3. Do not install pump in any location classified as hazardous
byNational Electrical Code, ANSI/FPA 70-1984.
4. These pumps are intended for permanent connection only.Provide
strain relief at control box for power supply cord connection to
box. All control components must be UL listed and suitable for end
use application.
