SUMO WASTE WATER PACKAGED SYSTEM
INSTALLATION SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY FULLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, ENSURE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY IS ISOLATED BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION WORK
1. Remove lid from tank and inspect both the tank and lid for any damage caused in transit, also check pump and alarm unit if
applicable, if all ok then the Tank is then ready to be installed.
2. All inverts should be brought into the tank using appropriate tank connectors.
3. All inverts should be connected to the tank by drilling into the tank at the highest possible level from floor - no lower than
200mm to centre of hole from floor. (This is to be a minimum of 300mm with a Jung US73 pump and 220mm with a Jung
U6K Niro pump). An optional low level float is available for the pumps to enable lower starting/stopping heights if the above
minimum inlet heights cannot be attained.
4. No tank connections should be fitted through the lid of the tank, as this inhibits removal of the lid for inspection and cleaning
purposes.
5. The Sumo tank should also be positioned so as to allow easy removal of the lid for inspection and maintenance of pump and
tank.
6. When positioning the inlet pipe, ensure that the inflow of water/waste is not directed onto the float switch/arm mechanism of
the pump or control system (optional).
7. It is essential that a compression fitting is installed between the non-return valve supplied and a gate valve in the discharge
pipework (by installers) to enable the removal of the Sumo tank if required.

9. The discharge pipework must NOT be connected to a soil stack, manhole etc. which is below the discharge level of the tank,

MAINTENANCE FOR A SUMO WASTE WATER PACKAGED SYSTEM
MAINTENACE SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY FULLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, ENSURE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY IS ISOLATED BEFORE WORKS ARE UNDERTAKEN
It is recommended that after installation the Sumo waste water system is inspected regularly and the pump inspected and
serviced at least every 6 months (depending on application). All inspections are to be carried out by qualified personnel,
in accordance with all current electrical and safety regulations. Simple maintenance would involve checking the
following:
1. Before starting any work on the tank, isolate the system from the electrical supply and if possible isolate the
incoming waste to the tank.
2. When working on the Sumo system, be careful not to disturb the inlet/outlet pipework and vent pipe.
3. Check the integrity of the Sumo tank and that the seal fitted to the lid is undamaged and sound. Replace seal if
necessary. The lid is secured via four screws one in each corner. Remove screws (retain for refitting) and gently
remove lid to gain access to tank.
4. Check for any debris, foreign objects or other impassable solid material within the tank, which could damage or
block the pump or pipework, including the integrity of all pipework and valves, both within and connected to the
tank, making sure the inlet is clear and free from obstructions

prevent fat build up within the system is VITAL. Fat build up within the tank is a major cause of smells and can
lead to incorrect float operation and reduced pumping performance, as well as premature failure of the system.
Only degrease the system with recommended products, such as PTS D-Stroy, as some products could adversely
affect or damage the pump, pipework or tank. To order please quote reference PTS D-Story (P702) to a member
