SAFETY
Pump installations are seldom identical. Each installation and application can vary due to many different factors. It is the owner/service mechanics responsibility to repair, service, and test to ensure that the pump integrity is not compromised according to this manual.
Risk of electric shock – this pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
Do not pump flammable or volatile liquids. Death or serious injury will result.
Before attempting to open or service the pump:
1)Familiarize yourself with this manual.
2)Disconnect the pump power cable to ensure that the pump will remain inoperative.
3)Allow the pump to cool if overheated.
Do not operate the pump with a worn or damaged electric power cable. Death or serious injury could occur.
Never attempt to alter the length or repair any power cable with a splice. The pump motor and pump motor and cable must be completely waterproof. Damage to the pump or personal injury may result from alterations.
After the pump has been installed, make sure that the pump and all piping are secure before operation.
Do not lift the pump by the power cable piping or discharge hose. Attach proper lifting equipment to the lifting handle (or lifting rings) fitted to the pump. Do not suspend the pump by the power cable.
Obtain the services of a qualified electrician to troubleshoot, test and/or service the electrical components of this pump.
Pumps and related equipment must be installed and operated according to all national, local and industry standards.

INSPECTION
Review all safety information before servicing pump.
The following are recommended installation practices/procedures for the pump. If there are questions in regards to your specific application, contact your local BJM Pumps distributor or BJM Pumps, LLC.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
1)Check the pump for damage that may have occurred during shipment.
2)Inspect the pump for any cracks, dents, damaged threads, etc.
3)Check power cable (and seal minder cable, if installed) for any cuts or damage.
4)Check for, and tighten any hardware that appears loose.
5)Carefully read all tags, decals and markings on the pump.
6)Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate, amps, voltage, phase, and HP ratings match your control panel and power supply.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (voltage/phase supply). Record the model numbers and serial numbers from the pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix it to the control panel when finished with the installation.
The KZE Model pumps are equipped with embedded thermal motor sensor switches and a Seal Minder. Both are required to be properly connected to maintain warranty.
If anything appears to be abnormal, contact your BJM Pumps distributor or BJM Pumps, LLC. If damaged, the pump may need to be repaired before use. Do not install or use the pump until appropriate action has been taken.
Lubrication:
No additional lubrication is necessary. The shaft seal and bearings are fully lubricated from the factory. Seal oil should be checked one per year. See table below.

PUMP INSTALLATION
KZE Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions. Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Risk of electric shock. KZE Series pump models do not come with electric plug connectors. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle or control panels.
Lifting:
Attach lifting chain (not included) to the lifting rings on the top of the pump.
Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/piping. Proper lifting equipment (chain) must be used.
POSITIONING THE PUMP
BJM Pumps, KZE Series pumps are designed to operate fully or partially submerged. Do not run the pump dry. Refer to data sheet for minimum submersion depth for your particular model. Data sheets can be obtained online at www.bjmpumps.com or by calling BJM Pumps, LLC at 860-399-5937. As a general rule, KZE Series side discharge
pumps can pump down to the top of the volute. Pumping lower than the suction screen |
||
will permit air to enter the pump and cavitate, lose prime |
||
or become air bound (see chart below). |

Do not run pump dry.
Pump liquid should not exceed a maximum temperature of 104°F.
Never place the pump on loose or soft ground. The pump may sink, preventing water from reaching the impeller. Place on a solid surface or suspend the pump with a lifting chain. The KZE Series pumps are provided with a suction strainer to prevent large solids from clogging the impeller. Any spherical solids which pass through the strainer should pass through the pump.
For maximum pumping capacity, use the proper size non-collapsible hose or rigid piping. A check valve may be installed after the discharge to prevent back flow when the pump is shut off.
PUMP ROTATION
Two ways to check the correct pump rotation:
1.By looking at the impeller; the rotation of the impeller should be counter clockwise. As seen from the bottom.
2.By looking from the top of the pump. Since the impeller cannot be seen, the best
way to check the rotation is to check the kick back motion of the pump when the pump just starts. The kick back motion of the pump should be counter clockwise as shown in the picture below.

PUMP OPERATION
This pump is designed to handle water and agrated slurry. It is not designed to pump volatile or flammable liquids. Do not attempt to pump any liquids which may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure.
Do not operate this pump where explosive vapors or flammable material exist. Death or Serious injury will result.
TYPICAL MANUAL DEWATERING INSTALLATION
NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
All KZE models are provided with a 50’ (10m) GGC power cable. NEVER splice the power cable due to safety and warranty considerations. Always keep the power lead end dry.
Note: 460 & 575V three phase units do not have a plug.
Do not alter the length or repair any power cable with a splice. The pump motor and cable must be completely waterproof. Damage to the pump or personal injury may result from alterations.
For manual operation: 460 & 575 volt: Connect directly to the power source or control box. KZE model pumps are supplied with two grounding wires and a ground check wire; two green for grounding to the panel; the other is green with a yellow stripe and is to be used for grounding check systems. Check the direction of the rotation. Tilt the pump and start it. It should twist in the opposite direction of the arrow (on pump). It is recommended that a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) type breaker (or equivalent) be used.
STOPPING
To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode), turn off the breaker/disconnect, or turn the power source off (generator).
