SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION

o The Purchaser:

B-1) T

Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the fi nest
pumps on the market today. Barnes® Pumps are products
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.

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, fi le 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 effi cient

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.

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 fl oat 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
4 inches (102mm) 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 backfl ow into the sump. Excessive back­fl ow can cause fl ooding and/or damage to the pump.

C-3) Liquid Level Controls:

Figure 2 shows a typical installation for a submersible
pump using a piggy-back wide angle level control mounted
to the pump.

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. Pump should be stored in its original shipping
container and before initial start up, rotate impeller by hand
to assure seal and impeller rotate freely.

B-4) Service Centers:
For the location of the nearest Barnes Service Center, check
your Barnes representative or Crane Pumps & Systems, Inc.,
Service Department in Piqua, Ohio, telephone [phone]
or Crane Pumps & Systems Canada, Inc., Bramton, Ontario,
[phone].

SECTION C: INSTALLATION

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 effl uent, nonexplosive and
noncorrosive liquids and shall NOT be installed in locations
classifi ed as hazardous in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC).

FIGURE 2

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.

FIGURE 3

Figure 3 shows a typical connection for pumps with
thepiggy-back plug, for manual and automatic operations.

Automatic -

Plug fl oat cord into GFI outlet, then plug

pump cord into fl oat cord.

Manual - Plug pump cord directly into GFI outlet.

IMPORTANT! - When Installing Vertical Float
Pumps, Check To Be Sure Float Is Not Hung
Up On Top Of Volute Housing.

C-4) Electrical Connections:
C-4.1) Power Cable:

The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be
modifi ed 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.

WARNING ! - DO NOT over" ll oil. Over" lling of
motor housing with oil can create excessive
and dangerous hydraulic pressure which can
destroy the pump and create a hazard. Over" ll­ing oil voids warranty.

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 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.

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 rectifi ed immediately. DO NOT LET THE

PUMP CYCLE OR RUN IF AN OVERLOAD CONDITION
OCCURS !

periodically when fi xtures are not in use

Pump shuts off and turns on indepen­dent of switch, (trips thermal overload
protector). CAUTION! Pump may start
unexpectedly. Disconnect power supply.

Pump operates noisily or vibrates
excessively

Poor electrical connection, blown fuse,
tripped breaker or other interruption of power,
improper power supply.

2. Motor or switch inoperative (to isolate
cause, go to manual operation of pump).
2a. Float movement restricted.
2b. Switch will not activate pump or is defec­tive.

3. Insuffi cient liquid level.

2b. Switch will not activate pump or is defec­tive.

4. Excessive infl ow or pump not properly sized

in motor leads, if current is within ±20%
of locked rotor Amps, impeller is probably
locked. If current is 0, overload may be
tripped. Remove power, allow pump to cool,
then recheck current.
2a. Reposition pump or clean basin as
required to provide adequate clearance for
fl oat.
2b. Disconnect level control. Set ohmmeter
for a low range, such as 100 ohms full scale
and connect to level control leads. Actuate
level control manually and check to see that
ohmmeter shows zero ohms for closed switch
and full scale for open switch. (Float Switch).

3. Make sure liquid level is at least equal to
suggested turn-on point.
