SK & SKX Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based
solutions with some solids. Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
The Shredder pumps (1 and 2 HP) are not designed to pump unscreened solids which
could contain matter such as bunched paper towels, feminine napkins, tampon
applicators, etc. This type of debris can clog the pump & prevent it from operating
properly. The BJM Pumps Shredder Pumps (7.5 HP and larger) are designed to handle
unscreened sewage.
PUMP INSTALLATION
8
Risk of electric shock. Pump models; SK750C, SK750C-3,
SKX750CSS & SK750CSS-3 (115v) are supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. All 230V single phase pumps and all three phase
pumps 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.
Lifting:
Attach a rope or lifting chain (not included) to the handle (or lifting rings) on the top of
the pump.
Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/piping.
Proper lifting equipment (rope/chain) must be used.
POSITIONING THE PUMP
BJM Pumps, SK & SKX Series pumps are designed to operate fully or partially
submerged. Avoid running the pump dry for extended periods of time. 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, SK and SKX Series SIDE discharge pumps can pump down to a level
above the suction screen. Pumping lower than screen will permit air to enter the pump
and cavitate, lose prime or become air bound.
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 rope/chain. The SK & SKX 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.
Take stand off of pump when using slide rail. Keep stand and reattach when
transporting or handling the pump.
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 shown in the picture below.
9
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 dirty water that contains some
solids. 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 MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER INTALLATION
NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
10
MANUAL OPERATION
All SK & SKX Models are provided with a 33’ (10 m) power cord. NEVER splice the
power cable due to safety and warranty considerations. Always keep the plug end dry.
Note: 230V, single phase and 208V, 230V, 460V & 575V three phase units do not
have a plug and have to be provided separately.
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: 115 volt: plug the power cable into any 115 volt grounded
receptacle. 208, 230, 460 & 575 volt: Attach the proper plug, connect directly to the
power source or control box. 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 receptacle (or equivalent) be used.
Single phase pumps always use a three-prong grounded
receptacle. It is recommended that a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) type receptacle (or
equivalent) be used.
11
STOPPING
To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode), unplug it from the power source, turn
off the breaker, or turn the power source off (generator).
