INTRODUCTION
This Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual provides important information on
safety and the proper inspection, disassembly, reassembly and testing of the BJM
Pumps SVF Series submersible pump. This manual also contains information to
optimize performance and longevity of your BJM Pumps submersible pump. The F
Series FARHRENHEIT™ pumps are engineered to pump water based liquids up to 200°
Fahrenheit (93°C).
The submersible SVF Series pumps are designed to pump municipal and
industrial wastewater. The SVF Series pumps are not explosion-proof. They are
not designed to pump volatile or flammable liquids.
Note: Consult a chemical resistance chart for compatibility between pump
materials and liquid before operating pump.
If you have any questions regarding the inspection, disassembly, reassembly or testing
please contact your BJM Pumps distributor, or BJM Pumps, LLC.

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, inflammable or volatile liquids. Death
or serious injury will result.
Before attempting to open or service the pump:
1) Familiarize yourself with this manual.
2) Unplug or 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.
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 once per year. See table below.
Note: The stator on this model is oil filled. This needs to be changed annually
when the seal oil is changed. With the power cable entry removed, fill the motor
chamber with oil to a level that insures the oil is covering the motor windings by
OIL FILL QUANTITY/TYPE
6
½”, and that will be above the upper bearing. Do not overfill, an air gap of 10-15%
must be maintained for heat expansion.
PUMP INSTALLATION
SVF Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions.
Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Risk of electric shock. Pump models; SV400, SV750 (115v) are
supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. 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, SVF 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, SVF Series side discharge pumps can pump down to a level above the
suction cover. Pumping lower than the cover will permit air to enter the pump and
cavitate, lose prime or become air bound.
Do not run the 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 SVF 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.
7
PUMP ROTATION
If wired properly to the control, the single phase BJM Pumps SV-F Series pump should
operate with the correct pumping rotation. Verification is recommended prior to installing
into the sump basin.
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.
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.
8
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 may result.
TYPICAL MANUAL DEWATERING INSTALLATION
NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
MANUAL OPERATION
All SVF models are provided with a 50’ (15 m) power cable. NEVER splice the power
cable due to safety and warranty considerations. Always keep the plug end dry.
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.
The BJM Pumps, SV-F series pumps require a special control that contains the starting
components, thermal sensor and Seal Minder connections. These pumps cannot be
directly connected to a power source.
