Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest
pumps on the market today. Barnes
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 Barnes Pumps, Inc. manual will provide helpful
information concerning installation, maintenance, and
proper service guidelines. Check local codes and
requirements before installation. Servicing should be
performed by knowledgeable pump service contractors or
authorized service stations.
The pump is packaged ready for installation and no
connections or adjustments are necessary except for
attaching discharge piping and plugging in service cord.
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 crating, do not lose or misplace.
B-3) Storage:
Short Term- Barnes Pumps are manufactured for efficient
performance following long 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 units 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.

Pumps are products
C-1) Location:
These pumping units are self-contained and are
recommended for use in a sump or basin. This pump is
designed to pump rain water or light effluent, 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 the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). The sump or basin shall
be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. Provide
proper sump diameter of approx. 18" (457mm) minimum and
depth of approx. 20" (508mm) minimum to allow the pump
and switch to operate without restriction. The float switch
should not come in contact with side or bottom of sump.
Make sure sump is free of string, cloth, nails, gravel, etc.
before installing pump. Never install the pump in a trench,
ditch, or hole with a dirt bottom where the suction will become
plugged.
C-1.1) Submergence:
The minimum sump liquid level should never be less than
2.5 inches (64mm) on BP 25 series or 3.43 inches (87mm)
on BP33 & 50 series, above the pump bottom.
C-2) Discharge:
Discharge piping should be as short as possible. The
installation of a check valve in the discharge piping is
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.
C-3) Liquid Level Controls
Figure 2 shows a typical installation for any submersible
pump using a wide angle level control mounted to the pump.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION WITH WIDE ANGLE
LEVEL CONTROL
Pump should be stored in its original shipping container and
on initial start up, rotate impeller by hand to assure seal and
impeller rotate freely.

General Comments:
1) Never work in the sump with the power on.
2) Level controls are factory set. Be certain that the level
control cannot hang up or foul in it’s swing. Also, make
certain the pump impeller is still submerged when the level
control is in the ’off’ mode.
3) Plug the pump plug into a GFI receptacle. One cycle of
operation should be observed , so that any potential
problems can be corrected.
IMPORTANT! - When installing vertical float
pumps, check to be sure float is not hung up
on top of volute housing.
C-4) Electrical Connections:
WARNING ! - Pumps must be properly
grounded per THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC
CODE or THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE and
YOUR LOCAL ELECTRIC CODE. Improper grounding
voids warranty.
C-4.1) Power Cable:
The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be
modified in any way. This pump comes complete with a 3
wire cord and 3 prong grounded plug that must be
connected into a 3 wire grounded Ground Fault receptacle.
DO NOT remove ground pin from electrical plug. It is NOT
recommended to use an extension cord with these pumps.
DO NOT USE THE POWER CABLE TO LIFT PUMP.
C-4.2) Overload Protection:
Automatic thermal overload protects the sealed-in-oil
motor. Running dry may overheat the motor and trip the
overload. The type of 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.
It 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 rectified immediately.
DO NOT LET THE PUMP CYCLE OR RUN IF AN
OVERLOAD CONDITION OCCURS !
SECTION D: SERVICE AND REPAIR
WARNING ! - Electrical power to the pump
motor must be disconnected and locked out to
prevent any dangerous electrical hazards or personnel
danger before any service work is done to the pump.
CAUTION: - Operating pump builds up heat
and pressure; Allow time for pump to cool to
room temperature before handling or servicing.
WARNING ! - DO NOT overfill oil. Overfilling of
motor housing with oil can create excessive
and dangerous hydraulic pressure which can destroy
the pump and create a hazard. Overfilling oil voids
warranty.
IMPORTANT! - Float or shunt plug connector
must be installed for pump to operate.
D-1) Bottom Plate:
Remove screws, and remove bottom plate from volute and
remove volute. Clean and examine impeller. If impeller
vanes are clogged, or it is excessively worn or broken, the
impeller should be replaced.
D-2) Impeller:
After removing the bottom plate, as outlined in Paragraph
D-1, the impeller, may be removed by turning impeller
counterclockwise to remove from shaft. When
reassembling the impeller, turn the impeller clockwise until
it bottoms against shaft. Replace volute, bottom plate, and
screws.
E-1 INFORMATION NEEDED:
ALWAYS furnish the following information:
1. Pump serial number and date code.
2. Pump model number.
Typical Name Plate
E-2 MODEL NUMBER:
This designation consists of numbers and letters which
represents the horsepower, motor phase and voltage, and
pump design. This number is used for ordering and
obtaining information.
