SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS <br />TO AVOID SERIOUS OR FATAL PERSONAL INJURY <br />OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ AND <br />FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN MANUAL <br />AND ON PUMP. <br />THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN THE <br />INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT <br />AND MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP. <br />This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. <br />When you see this symbol on the pump <br />or in the manual, look for one of the fol- <br />lowing signal words and be alert to the <br />potential for personal injury or property <br />damage. <br />Warns of hazards that WILL cause <br />serious personal injury, death or major <br />property damage. <br />A WARNING Warns of hazards that CAN cause <br />serious personal injury, death or major <br />property damage. <br />A CAUTION Warns of hazards that CAN cause per- <br />sonal injury or property damage. <br />NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS <br />WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND <br />MUST BE FOLLOWED. <br />THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS <br />AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY <br />WORK ON THIS PUMP. <br />A WARNING All electrical work must be performed <br />by a qualified technician. Always follow <br />the National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian <br />Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial <br />codes. Code questions should be directed to your local <br />electrical inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and <br />OSHA safety standards may result in personal injury or <br />equipment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer's <br />installation instructions may result in electrical shock, <br />fire hazard, personal injury or death, damaged equip- <br />ment, provide unsatisfactory performance, and may void <br />manufacturer's warranty. <br />A WARNING Standard units are not designed for use in <br />swimming pools, open bodies of water, <br />hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist. These <br />fluids and gases may be present in containment areas. <br />Tank or wetwell must be vented per local codes. <br />Only pumps specifically Listed for Class 1, Division 1 <br />are allowable in hazardous liquids and where flammable <br />gases may exist. See specific pump catalog bulletins or <br />pump nameplate for all agency Listings. <br />A WARNING Disconnect and lockout electrical power <br />before installing or servicing any electrical <br />equipment. Many pumps are equipped with automatic <br />thermal overload protection which may allow an over- <br />heated pump to restart unexpectedly. <br />ACAUTION All three phase (30) control panels for <br />submersible pumps must provide <br />Class 10, quick -trip, overload protection. <br />PRE -INSTALLATION CHECKS <br />Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage. Report <br />any damage to your supplier or shipping carrier immedi- <br />ately. <br />Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate Amps, <br />Voltage, Phase and HP ratings match your control panel <br />and power supply. <br />Many of our sewage pumps are oil -filled. If there are any <br />signs of oil leakage or if the unit has been stored for an <br />extended period check the oil level in the motor dome <br />and the seal housing, if so equipped. <br />Check the motor cover oil level through the pipe plug on <br />top of the unit. The motor chamber oil should just cover <br />the motor. Do not overfill, leave room for expansion! <br />To check the seal housing oil level, where used, lay the <br />unit on its side with the fill plug at 12 o'clock. Remove <br />the plug. The oil should be within 1/2" (13mm) of the top. <br />If low, refill with an ASTM 150 turbine oil. Replace the <br />plug. <br />Oil is available in 5 gallon cans through our distributors. <br />You can also source oil locally at motor repair shops. <br />Typical oil brands are: Shell Turbo 32, Sunoco Sunvis <br />932, Texaco Regal R&O 32, Exxon Nuto 32 and Mobil <br />DTE Light. <br />Check the strain relief nut on power cable strain assem- <br />blies. Power cables should be torqued to 75 in, lbs. for <br />#16 cables and 80 in. lbs. for all other cable assemblies. <br />Seal/heat sensor cables, where used, should be torqued to <br />75 in. lbs. <br />Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting <br />pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (volt- <br />age/phase supply). <br />Record the model numbers and serial numbers from the <br />pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction <br />manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix <br />it to the control panel when finished with the installation. <br />LIFTING OF PUMP <br />AWARNING DO NOT LIFT, CARRY OR HANG <br />9 PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL <br />CABLES. DAMAGE TO THE <br />ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN CAUSE <br />SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH. <br />Hazardous voltage <br />can shock, burn or <br />cause death. <br />Lift the pump with an adequately sized chain or cable at- <br />tached to the lifting eye bolt. DO NOT damage electrical <br />and sensor cables while raising and lowering unit. <br />OPTIONAL GUIDE RAIL <br />OR LIFT -OUT SYSTEM <br />In many effluent and sewage basins or lift stations it is <br />advisable to install the pump on a guide rail system or on <br />a lift -out adapter to facilitate installation and removal for <br />inspection and/or service. Most codes do not allow person- <br />nel to enter a wetwell without the correct protective equip- <br />ment and training. Guide rails are designed to allow easy <br />removal of the pump without the need for entry into the <br />wetwell or need to disturb piping. The guide rail or lift - <br />out adapter should locate the pump opposite the influent <br />
