SECTION 13: GENERAL INFORMATION B-1) To the Purchaser: Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest pumps on the market today. CP&S pumps are products engineered and manufactured of high quality components. Over one hundred years of pump building experience along with a continuing quality assurance program combine to produce a pump which will stand up to the toughest applications. This manual will provide helpful information concerning installation, maintenance, and proper service guidelines. B-2) Receiving: 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. B-3) Storage: Short Term- CP&S Pumps are manufactured for efficient performance following short inoperative periods in storage. For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures for up to six (6) months. Long Term- Any length of time exceeding six (6) months, but not more than twenty-four (24) months. The unit should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed over walled enclosure that provides protection from the elements (rain, snow. wind-blown dust, etc.), and whose temperature can be maintained between +40 deg. F and +120 deg. F. (4.4 - 49°C). Pump should be stored in its original shipping container. On initial start up, rotate impeller by hand to assure seal and impeller rotate freely. If it is required that the pump be installed and tested before the long term storage begins, such installation will be allowed provided: 1.) The pump is not installed under water for more than one (1) month. 2.) Immediately upon satisfactory completion of the test, the pump is removed, thoroughly dried: repacked in the original shipping container, and placed in a temperature controlled storage area.

SECTION C: INSTALLATION C-1) Location: These pumping units are self-contained and are recommended for use in a sump, lift station or basin that is free of hard debris like gravel, stones, sand or earth. The sump, lift station or basin shall be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. This pump is designed to pump sewage, effluent, or other nonexplosive or noncorrosive wastewater. and shall NOT be installed in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSIINFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). Never install the pump in a trench, ditch or hole with gravel, stones, sand, or earth bottom; the legs will sink into the dirt and the suction will become plugged, or the pump impeller will be damaged. C-1.1) Submergence: It is recommended thatthe pump be operated in the submerged condition and the sump liquid level should never be lower than the top of the pump. (see Fig. 2) FIGURE 1 ECOMMENDED UWA= 2GENCE LEVEL C-2) Discharge: Discharge piping should be as short as possible. Both a check valve and a shut-off valve are recommended for each pump being used. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. Excessive backflow can cause flooding and/or damage to the pump. The shut-off valve is used to stop system flow during pump or check valve servicing. Barnes Pumps supplies a Stainless Rail Package for the 2" models and also a variety of 2" and 3" break -away fitting discharge systems (see Fig. 1) designed to allow the submersible wastewater pump to be installed or removed without requiring personnel to enter the wet well. Contact your local Barnes Pumps distributor for complete details. Stainless Rail Package (Not Shown) - The package system comes complete and ready to place into the ground as outlined in the project specifications- The moveable portion of the Break Away Fitting (BAF), check valve, piping and guide bracket comes assembled on the pump along with the lifting cord. Insert pump bracket and moveable portion of BAF into the guide channel and lower pump into basin (DO NOT DROP). Now connect power and control cords to the junction box or control panel depending on system design. C-3) Liquid: Level Controls: The level controls are to be supported by a mounting bracketthat is attached to the sump wall, cover or junction box. Cord grips are used to hold the cords in place on the mounting bracket. The control level can be changed by loosening the grip and adjusting the cord length as per the plans and specifications. Be certain that the level controls cannot hang up or foul in it:s swing and that the pump is completeiy submerged when the levei control is in the "Off' mode.
