Positioning the Pump

This pump is designed to operate fully or partially

submerged; however, it should not be operated

dry for extended periods of time.

Extended dry operation will destroy the

seal assembly.

Never place the pump on loose or soft ground; the

pump could sink, preventing water from reaching

theimpeller(seeFigure3).

pump motor cover to ensure cooling of the

pump motor.

2. The tie is positioned on the cable approxi-

mately6inches(152mm)belowthefloat.This

setting allows approximately 9 inches (229

mm) of liquid rise between pump start/stop.

The start/stop interval may be increased by

loosening thenut on the plastictie swiveland

extending the float end of the power cable.

The liquid level in the sump will increase ap-

proximately8inches(203mm)betweenstart/

stop intervals for every 6 inches (152 mm) of

cable increase.

3. Plug the pump power cable into the female

end of the float cable plug.

4. Plugthefloatcableintoagrounded recep-

tacle. It is strongly recommended that a

Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) type recep-

tacle(orequivalent)beused(seeFigure2).

Operational Checks

Checkthepumpforproperoperationwhenitisfirst

started and periodically thereafter toidentify minor

problems.

Check the pump for unusual noises or excessive

vibration while it is operating. If noise or vibration is

excessive, stop the pump and refer to the

troubleshooting chart for possible causes.

Check the pump strainer screen for clogging

caused by stones, sticks, or other debris. Clean

the strainer screenwhen required. In somecases,

stopping the pump momentarily may back flush

the strainer screen, purging most of the debris

from it. If this fails to clean the screen, unplug the

pump , remove it from the sump, and remove the

debris manually (see MAINTENANCE AND RE-

PAIR in Section E).

Never introduce air or steam pressure into the

pump casing or piping to remove a blockage. This

could result in personal injury or damage to the

equipment. If backflushing is absolutely neces-

sary, liquidpressuremust be limited to 50%ofthe

maximum permissible operating pressure shown

on the pump performance curve (see MAINTE-

NANCE AND REPAIR,SectionE).

STOPPING

To stop the pump when in manual mode, simply

unplug it from the receptacle. After stopping the

pump,besuretoperformallrequiredmaintenance

and preservation procedures.

This pump is equipped with automatic

thermaloverloadprotectionwhichwillstop

the pump if overheating occurs. Unplug

the pump and allow it to cool before at-

tempting to service the pump.

When operated in the automatic mode, the pump

will stop and start as the liquid level rises and falls.

For service or extended stopping, unplug both the

pump and float switch from the receptacle.

Storage and Cold Weather Preservation

After stopping the pump, use the rope or chain at-

tached to the lifting handle on the pump to remove

the pump from the sump. Do notlift the unit by the

power cable or the discharge piping. Customer in-

stalled equipment such as rigid discharge piping

must be removed before attempting to lift.

Do not attempt to lift the pump by the

power cable or piping. Attach proper

lifting equipment to the handle on the

pump.

Clean the strainer screen before storage. If the

applicationinvolves alotofmud or sludge, remove

the strainer and clean the impeller before storage.

NOTE

The most common cause of failure to run is hard-

ened mud or sludge in the impeller.

In freezing temperatures, the pump will not freeze

as long as it is submerged in liquid. If the pump

casing is not submerged, or if the liquid begins to

freeze, remove the pump from the sump and allow
