REMOVAL OF PUMP FROM EXISTING SYSTEM FOR REPLACEMENT

WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect and lockout the power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
personal injury or death.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Be certain the electrical power is not present at the
motor leads before continuing. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious personal injury or death

WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD

Pressure may be present in the pump body. This
pressure can be relieved by loosening the flange bolts and
shifting the pump assembly slightly to allow the pressurized
water to escape. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury or death.

1. Close the valves on the suction and discharge sides of the
pump. (If no valves have been installed, it may be neces­sary to drain the system.)

2. Loosen the conduit box cover screw and remove the cover.

WARNING: EXCESSIVE SYSTEM

PRESSURE HAZARD

The maximum working pressure of the pump is listed on
the nameplate – DO NOT EXCEED THIS PRESSURE.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
personal injury, death and/or property damage.

WARNING: EXCESSIVE PRESSURE HAZARD

VOLUMETRIC EXPANSION

The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric
expansion. The associated forces may cause failure of
system components and the release of high temperature
fluids. This can be prevented by installing properly sized
and located expansion tanks and pressure relief valves.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
personal injury, death and/or property damage.

WARNING: EXTREME TEMPERATURE HAZARD

If the pump, motor or piping are operating at
extremely high or low temperature, guarding or insulation is
required. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious personal injury, death and/or property damage.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Electrical connections are to be made by a qualified
electrician in accordance with all applicable codes,
ordinances and good practices. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious personal injury, death
and/or property damage.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING HAZARD

Adequate electrical grounding is required for the safe
operation of B&G Pumps. The use of grounded metal
conduit assures this requirement. If the means of connection
to the supply – connection box (wiring compartment) is
other than grounded metal conduit, ground the pump back
to the service. Use a copper conductor at least the size of
the circuit connectors supplying the pump. Connect the
ground wire to the green grounding screw in the wiring
compartment. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury death and/or property
damage.
