Receiving & Installation
Receiving inspection
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.
Storage
Any product that is stored for a
period longer than six (6) months
from the date of purchase should be
bench tested prior to installation. A
bench test consists of, checking the
impeller to assure it is free turning
and a run test to assure the motor
(and switch if provided) operate
properly. Do not pump out of liquid.
Controls
Manual models require a separate
approved pump control device or
panel for automatic operation. Be
sure the electrical specification of the
barmesapumps.com
control selected properly match the
electrical specifications of the pump.
Submergence
The pump should always be
operated in the submerged
condition. The minimum sump liquid
level should never be less than above
the pump’s volute (See Figure 1).
Liquid Level Control
Typical Discharge Pipe Mounted:
Refer to Figure 2 below which shows
a typical installation of a 1 phase 115
volt pump using a level control
mounted to the discharge piping
with a piggyback plug. The level
control should have adequate
clearance so it cannot hang up in it’s
swing and that the pump is
completely submerged when the
level control is in the "Off" mode. By
adjusting the cord tether the control
level can be changed.

Installation
These pumps are recommended for
use in a sump or basin. The sump or
basin shall be sealed and vented in
accordance with local plumbing
codes. This pump is designed to
pump effluent or wastewater,
nonexplosive and noncorrosive
liquids and shall NOT be installed
in locations classified as hazardous
in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA
70 or Canadian Electric Code
(CEC).The pump should never be
installed in a trench, ditch, or hole
with a dirt bottom. The legs will sink
into the dirt and the suction will
become plugged.

Level Control Basic instructions:
Plug the level control plug into the
GFI receptacle, then plug the pump
into the piggy-back plug (See Figure
3). One cycle of operation should be
observed, so that any potential
problems can be corrected.
It is recommended that the level
control float should be set to insure
that the liquid in the sump never
drops below the top of the motor
housing or a minimum level of 6
inches above the basin floor.
The installation should be at a
sufficient depth to ensure that all
plumbing is below the frost line. If
this is not feasible, remove the check
valve and size the basin to
accommodate the additional
backflow volume.
Discharge Piping
Discharge piping should be as short
as possible and sized no smaller than
the pump discharge. Do not reduce
the discharge pipe size below that
which is provided on the pump.
03
Page 5
Installation & Service
Both a check valve and a shut-off
valve are recommended for each
pump. The check valve is used to
prevent backflow into the sump. The
shut-off valve is used to manually
stop system flow during pump
servicing.
Electrical Connections
Power cable:
The power cable mounted to the
pump must not be modified in any
way. This pump is provided with a 3
wire cord and 3 prong grounded
plug that must be connected into a 3
wire grounded Ground Fault
receptacle. Do not bypass grounding
wires or remove ground prongs from
plug. This pump requires separate,
properly fused and grounded branch
circuit. Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) is strongly
recommended.
The electrical outlet or panel shall be
within the length limitations of the
barmesapumps.com
pump power cord, and at least 4 feet
above floor level to minimize
possible hazards from flood
conditions. Do Not use an extension
cord.
IF USED with Control Panel - Any
splice between the pump and the
control panel must be made in
accordance with the electric codes. It
is recommended that a junction box,
if used, be mounted outside the
sump or be of at a minimum NEMA 4
construction if located within the wet
well. DO NOT USE THE POWER
CABLE TO LIFT PUMP. Always rely
upon a Certified Electrician for
installation.
Overload Protection:
Single Phase - The stator in-winding
overload protector used is referred to
as an inherent overheating protector
and operates on the combined effect
of temperature and current.
This means that the overload
protector will trip out and shut the
pump off if the windings become too
hot, or the load current passing
through them becomes too high.
IMPORTANT! - The overload will then
automatically reset and start the
pump up after the motor cools to a
safe temperature. In the event of an
overload, the source of this condition
should be determined and corrected
immediately.
WARNING
P UM P C Y C LE O R R U N I F A N
OVERLOAD CONDITION OCCURS.
If current through the temperature
sensor exceeds the values listed, an
intermediate control circuit relay
must be used to reduce the current
or the sensor will not work properly.

Pre-Operation
1.Check Voltage and Phase -
Compare the voltage and phase
information stamped on the
pump name plate.
2.Check Pump Rotation - Improper
motor rotation can result in poor
pump performance and can
damage the motor and/or pump.
Incorrect rotation for Single-Phase
pumps is unlikely. If the rotation is
incorrect contact factory.
3.Name Plate - Record the
information from the pump name
plate to drawing in front of
manual for future reference.
4.Insulation Test - An insulation
(megger) test should be
performed on the motor. Before
the pump is put into service. The
resistance values (ohms) as well
as the voltage (volts) and current
(amps) should be recorded.
5.Pump-Down Test - Be sure pump
has been properly wired, lowered
into the basin, sump or lift station,
check the system by filling with
liquid and allowing the pump to
operate through its pumping
cycle. The time needed to empty
the system, or pump-down time
along with the volume of water,
should be recorded.
Maintenance
No lubrication or maintenance is
required. Perform the following
checks when pump is removed from
operation or when pump
performance deteriorates:
a)Inspect motor chamber for oil
level and contamination.
b)Inspect impeller and body for
excessive build-up or clogging.
c)Inspect motor, bearings and shaft
seal for wear or leakage.
Servicing
Cooling Oil - Anytime the pump is
removed from operation, the cooling
oil in the motor housing should be
checked visually for oil level and
contamination.
To check oil, set unit upright. Remove
pipe plug from housing.
04
Page 6
Service
With a flashlight, visually inspect the
oil in the housing to make sure it is
clean and clear, light amber in color
and free from suspended particles.
Milky white oil indicates the presence
of water. Oil level should be just
above the motor when pump is in
vertical position.
Oil Testing
Ÿ Drain oil into a clean, dry
container by placing pump on it’s
side, remove pipe plug, from
housing.
Ÿ Check oil for contamination using
an oil tester with a range to 30
kilovolts breakdown.
Ÿ If oil is found to be clean and
uncontaminated (measuring
above 15 kV breakdown), refill the
housing.
Ÿ If oil is found to be dirty or
contaminated (or measures below
15 kV breakdown), the pump
must be carefully inspected for
leaks at the shaft seal, cable
barmesapumps.com
assembly, square ring and pipe
plug, before refilling with oil. To
locate the leak, perform a
pressure test.
After leak is repaired, dispose of old
oil properly, and refill with new oil.
Pressure builds up extremely
fast, increase pressure by
"TAPPING" air nozzle. Too
much pressure will damage
seal. DO NOT exceed 10 PSI.
Oil Replacement - Set unit upright
and refill with new cooling oil as per
table below. Fill to just above motor,
but below capacitor as an air space
must remain in the top of the
housing to compensate for oil
expansion.
Apply pipe thread compound to
threads of pipe plug then assemble
to housing.
DO NOT overfill oil.
Overfilling of housing with oil
can create excessive and
dangerous hydraulic pressure
which can destroy the pump
and create a hazard.
Overfilling oil voids warranty.
