APPLICATION

Compact submersible drainage pumps from Tsurumi are used where large
quantities of clear, rain or dirty water must be pumped quickly and reliably.

Permanent installations of pumps include basement sumps for water
removal. They are suitable for pumping washing effluent, for the drainage
of buildings and for pumping rainwater out of lower level rooms or
underpasses.

They are used as portable pumps to fill or empty containers of every type,
for use in drainage pits, to maintain dry conditions in ditches and to pump
out flooded cellars.

HANDLING

The pump is easy to transport and should be carried by the carrying
handle. It should never be suspended or raised by means of the power
cable.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

The pumps are supplied ready for operation.
WARNING: Pumps must be installed in accordance with governing

national and local electrical codes.
FOR AUTOMATIC OPERATION

Install discharge hose or pipe to pump discharge. Position the pump in the
sump, switch to the automatic position by pushing the switch down. The
float switch will now start the pump when the water level reaches about 6",
pump shuts off at about 2". Be sure to test automatic operation after
installing to make sure the pump is operating properly.

FOR MANUAL OPERATION

Install discharge hose or pipe to pump discharge, place the pump in the
water to be pumped, switch to the manual "HAND" position by pushing the
switch up. Switch the pump off when the water reaches approximately 2",
by pushing the switch down into the automatic position or by unplugging
the power cord.

NOTE: In portable applications, when a sump is pumped down below 1" of
water, the pump requires approximately 30 seconds to purge air from the
discharge when restarting.
