GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Electrically powered utility pumps normally give many
years of trouble-free service when correctly installed,
maintained, and used. See the “Troubleshooting Chart”
in this manual for information about common utility
pump problems and remedies. For more information, see
your retailer, or call Simer customer service at
1-800-468-7867 or 1-800-546-7867.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Do not use this pump in water with fish present. If
any oil leaks out of the motor it can kill fish.
3. Disconnect the power before servicing.
4. Release all the pressure within the system before servicing any component.
5. Drain all the water from the system before servicing.
6. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump.
An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for a weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain that all connections are secure.

Installation / Operation 3
8. Periodically inspect the pump and the system components. Keep free of debris and foreign objects.
Perform routine maintenance as required.
9. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose
discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
10.Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working
with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly
lighted – replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, mas-
ter switches, and by removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all
of the electrical and safety codes that apply.
12.This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single
phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
pull the plug before servicing. This pump has not
been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
The pump is supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it is
connected only to a properly grounded groundingtype receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with the codes
and ordinances that apply.
Do not walk on wet area until all power has been
turned off. If the shut-off box is in the basement, call
the electric company or hydro authority to shutoff
the service to house, or call your local fire department for instructions. Failure to follow this warning
can result in a fatal electrical shock.
Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
13.All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
14.Make certain the power source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
16.Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors
can operate at high temperatures.
17.Do not handle the pump or the pump motor, or
change fuses with wet hands or when standing on
wet or damp surface, or in water.
INSTALLATION
1. Set the pump on a hard surface in at least 2 inches
of water.
2. Connect the discharge line with the fittings provided.
3. The pump should not be installed on clay, dirt, mud
or sand surfaces. Although the pump will usually
pass small particles suspended in water, clean the
area to be pumped of small stones and gravel which
could clog the pump.
*NOTICE: Grass, mud, sand or pea gravel can clog the
pump and reduce it’s performance. Keep the pump inlet
screen clean.
4. To reduce motor noise and vibrations when using
rigid pipe, a short length of rubber hose (e.g. radiator
hose) can be connected into the discharge line near
the pump using suitable clamps.
5. Power Supply: These pumps are designed for 115 V.,
60 Hz., operation and requires a minimum 15 amp
individual branch circuit. Pump is supplied with a
3-wire cord with grounding-type plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. Pump should always be electrically
grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a
grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic
raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off
round ground pin.
6. If the pump discharge line is exposed to an outside
sub-freezing atmosphere, the portion of line exposed
must be installed so any water remaining in the pipe
will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this
can cause the water trapped in the discharge to
freeze which could result in damage to the pump.
7. Check the system operation by observing the pump
operation through one complete cycle.
Risk of flooding. Failure to make this
operational check may lead to improper operation,
premature failure, and flooding.
OPERATION
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. Do not handle a pump or pump motor
with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
Before attempting to check why a unit has stopped operating, disconnect power from the unit.
1. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication and
cooling. Do not operate the pump unless it is submerged in water as seal may be damaged if allowed
to run dry.
2. The pump will not remove all water. On a flat surface
Model Nos. 2300, 2305, and 2310 will pump down
to within 1/8" of the pumping surface. Model No.
2355 will pump down to within 5/8" of the pumping
surface.
NOTICE: For long cycle times, the pump must be
submerged to prevent the motor from overheating. A
fully submerged pump is preferred for proper cooling
when a pump runs for a long time.
AIRLOCKS
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any
water. An airlock will cause the pump to overheat and fail.
The pumps have a built in anti-airlock hole. See Figure 1
for the location of the hole. Water leakage from the antiairlock hole is normal.
If you suspect an airlock, unplug the pump, clean out the
anti-airlock hole with a paper clip or a piece of wire, and
restart the pump.
