■

ALWAYS make sure submersible pump is grounded.

CAUTION

Failure to f ollow instructions in this manual ma y lead to serious injury or even death! This equipment is to be operated by trained and qualified personnel only! This equipment is for industrial use only .

The following safety guidelines should always be used when operating the S- 500 Series Submersible Pumps:

GENERAL SAFETY

■

NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.

■

DO NOT place hands or fingers inside pump when pump is running.

■

ALWAYS make certain that the voltage supplied to the pump is correct. Always read the pump's nameplate to determine what the power requirements are. The S-500 series submersible pumps require 115 V AC , 60 Hz (single-phase) for normal operation.

■

DO NOT restrict the flow of the discharge hose as it may cause overheating.

■

Be careful of discharge whipping under pressure.

■

Make sure pump installation is accordance with national and local electrical codes.

■

ALWAYS have a qualified electrician perform the pump wiring installation.

■

ALWAYS mount the control box in a vertical position protected from the elements.

■

NEVER operate this equipment when not feeling well due to fatigue, illness or taking medicine.

■

NEVER operate this equipment under the influence or drugs or alcohol.

■

NEVER use accessories or attachments, which are not recommended by Multiquip for this equipment. Damage to the equipment and/or injury to user may result.

■

Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for any accident due to equipment modifications.

■

Whenever necessary , replace nameplate , operation and safety decals when they become difficult read.

■

ALWAYS check the machine for loosened threads or bolts before starting.

■

NEVER operate the submersible pump in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result causing severe

bodily harm or even death.

■

NEVER handle pump's AC power cord with NEVER let an extension cord or plug connection NEVER

to a power source. NEVER use a pump with a defective, frayed power cord.

Check the power cord on the pump for cuts in the insulation. NEVER use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged

where the insulation has been cut. AL WAYS make certain that proper extension cord has been

selected for the job . See Table 4. NEVER attempt to use the power cord as a lifting or lowering

device for the submersible pump. When raising or lowering of the submersible pump is

required, always attach an adequate rope or lifting device to the correct lifting point (handle) on the pump.

ALWAYS place the pump in an upright position on a platf orm before using. The platform will prevent the pump from burrowing itself on soft sand or mud.

NEVER operate pump on its side. DO NOT allo w the pump to freeze in water . NEVER leave an open pump chamber unattended.

The electrical voltage required to operate the pump can cause severe injury or even death through physical contact with live circuits. from the pump before performing maintenance on the pump.

S-500 SERIES SUB. PUMP — GENERAL INFORMA TION

Introduction

The Multiquip Model S-500 series submersible pumps are designed to pump water and is used for the draining (dewatering) of swimming pools, well casings construction sites, cofferdams, manholes, transformer vaults and excavations.

A rubber type impeller is attached to the output shaft of a 0.5 HP electric motor which provides adequate power for general purpose pumping. This submersible pump is supplied complete with an electric power cable, and a discharge port located at the top of the pump which accepts a 2-inch hose.

This pump is ideal for portability because of its light weight and carrying handle. For reliability and long life, a mechanical seal provides shaft sealing, with an oil chamber separating the pump section from the motor.

The pump when in use, should be installed as free standing (upright position) on its strainer base. A 2-inch discharge hose (not supplied) should be connected to the discharge port located on top of the pump. The discharge hose should be adequately supported to avoid stress on the pump.

For maximum water flo w , the discharge hose should be kept as short as possible, and with minimum elevation above the pump. Remember as the length and/or height of the discharge hose is increased, the flow of water will be reduced. Also any reduction in the hose size, and any fittings such as valves or outlet nozzles, will restrict the water flow .

To avoid bac k-siphonage when the pump is switched off, ensure that the end of the discharge hose is installed above the water level at the final discharge point.

When the pump is switched off, the water remaining in the hose will run back through the pump. This can be av oided by placing a non-return valve in the hose nearest the pump.

NEVER use this submersible pump to pump flammable liquids or operate in a explosive or flammable environment.

Avoid using this pump in conditions where mud, grit, silt or other debris are present. These conditions could cause b lockage and cause excessive pump w ear.

DO NOT install the pump directly into an area where there is a heavy build-up of mud, grit, silt or debris. If this condition is present, install the pump on a platform before operating.

This pump must always be positioned on a platform in an upright position. NEVER operate the pump by a suspended rope. To prevent large solids from entering the pump, install a wire mesh screen or similar barrier around the pump.

If the pump was used to pump water containing mud, silt, use clean water to flush out the pump after each use.

DO NOT allow the pump to run dry, as this will damage the pump. During maintenance, dry running is permissible but only for a few seconds.

NEVER lift the pump by its electrical power cord. ALWAYS lift the pump by its carrying handle or attach a rope to the carrying handle.

A pump fully submerged in liquid will not freeze, unless the liquid freezes. DO NOT allow a partially submerged pump to freeze. The expansion of water freezing in the volute may crack the pump, causing expensive repairs. If there is any danger of the pump being subjected to freezing temperatures, lift the pump from water and allow it to drain thoroughly.

If the pump jams or the pump rotor locks for any reason, disconnect the pump from the power source immediately. Allowing the pump motor to cycle ON and OFF under an overload condition can burn out the motor.

When replacement of nuts and bolts is required, use only recommended parts as referenced in the parts section of this manual. This pump uses measurement threads.

Control Box Installation Warnings

S-500 SERIES SUB. PUMP — COMPONENTS

Figure 2. Submersible Pump Components

Figure 2 shows the location of the basic components, for the S-500 series submersible pumps. Listed below is a brief explanation of each component.

1. Strainer Base – This strainer base is made of stainless steel which is resistant to hardware corrosion. DO NOT pump large objects or debris with this pump. This pump is for pumping water only. F or de-watering purposes, always place the strainer base on a platform.

2. V olute/Impeller – Impellers are constructed of high-chrome ductile iron to minimizes wear and prolong service life.

3. Electric Motor – All S-500 series submersible pumps utilize a 60 Hz, single-phase, 115 VAC, 0.5 HP electric motor. Consult with a motor to a power source. Observe all city and local safety codes.

4. Discharge Port – Connect a 2-inch hose to this port. Remember to adequately support the discharge hose to avoid stress on the pump.

5. AC Power Cable – This unit is supplied with a 25 ft. (7.6 meters) AC power cable. Always check the cable for signs of wear. NEVER! use a defective power cable. Replace the cable immediately if the cable is worn or defective.

S-500 SERIES SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (10/01/04) — PAGE 11

licensed electrician

before connecting

6. Carrying Handle – Always carry the submersible pump by its handle. NEVER! carry the pump by its power cord. Carrying or lifting the pump by the power cord, will cause undue stress on the cord, and ultimately the cord will become dislodged from the pump.

7. Thermal Overload Protection – This pump is equipped with thermal overload protection that will shutdown the motor in the event of high oper ating temperatures. The motor will automatically restart once the temperature returns to an acceptable operating temperature.

8. Mechanical Oil Seal – This oil filled seal provides lubrication when running the pump dry. NEVER! run the pump dry . Running the pump dry will cause sev ere damage to the pump.
