WARNING
This pumping system requires the following elements:
1. Discharge Manifold Assembly - Installed below grade (NEC/Class I, Group D, Division I area)
2. Motor-Pump Unit Assembly - Installed below grade (NEC/Class I, Group D, Division I area)
3. Control Box/Magnetic Starter
An “all inclusive” name plate will be found attached to the Extracta Head and can be inspected by removing
the manhole cover directly over the pump.
An additional name plate will be found on the control box. It is important to give the model number and serial
number of this pump when corresponding with the factory for any reason.
INSTALLATION SAFETY NOTICES ATTENTION INSTALLER
Read This Important Safety Information Before Beginning Work.
1. Units should be installed with manholes, or with discharge manifold casting above grade, to allow for ease in
servicing.
Red Jacket line leak detection systems do not function if the submersible pump runs
continuously. Running a pump continuously will cause line leak detection systems to
not function which results in a hazard that can cause damage to property, environment,
resulting in serious injury or death.
2. Never wire a submersible pump to run continuously at less than minimum flow rate. The units are designed to
operate continuously at or above minimum flow rate, or with an intermittent duty cycle, not to exceed 20 on/off
cycles per hour. Should it be necessary to operate a unit continuously or when the demand is at a rate less
than required per the information below, a bypass pipe should be installed in the piping to allow for continual
product recirculation back into the storage tank. Regulation of the bypass flow back to the tank can be
accomplished by correct sizing of the bypass line or use of a gate valve. The recommended minimum bypass
per unit is shown in Table A.

WARNING
WARNING
5. Pumping water will overload the motor and damage the motor bearings.
6. These units are designed for use in Class I, Group D atmospheres.
7. Install pumping system in accordance to applicable codes.
Proper motor protection must be used on three phase pump models, or motor warranty is void. To maintain warranty, the magnetic starters used must be supplied by Red
Jacket, or have equivalent protection features defined as follows:
- 3-leg protection
- Properly sized quick trip heaters, and
- Ambient temperature compensated overloads.
8. The UMP (Unitized-Motor-Pump) contains no serviceable parts (other than the foot valve) and should not be
modified or adjusted.
Follow These Directions Carefully
Check these points before installing.
1. The power supply against the equipment voltage rating. For 3 phase units, request the power company identify
and tag the service wires for L-1, L-2, L-3 phase sequence.
2. Be certain that the pump with the siphon valve is installed into the correct tank.
3. Check the equipment which was received against Table B and Figure 8 for the tank diameter and bury depth.
Before installing pipe threads apply an adequate amount of fresh, UL classified for petroleum, non-setting thread sealant.
4. Apply thread sealant to the six-inch riser/flange male threads. Thread it into the tank port. Tighten the riser/
flange until the joint is water tight.
Installing The Pumping Unit
1. Apply a gasket compound to the bottom surface of the manifold and press the gasket onto the manifold’s
mating surface so the holes in the gasket and manifold align (reference Figure 1).
2. Coat the exposed surface of the gasket with gasket compound.
WARNING
3. Insert three 3/4-inch bolts, provided, and torque them to 200 ft-lb (271 N•m).
Confirm that the lifting eyebolts are properly torqued to 10 ft-lbs (13.6 N•m) with a
minimum of 6 full threads installed. Occasionally, eyebolts are removed after pump installation and corrosion may occur in the threaded areas of the extractable and the
eyebolt. If corrosion has occurred, the extractable and eyebolt should be replaced.
Utilize BOTH lifting eyebolts to suspend the pump vertically and lower the pumping
unit into position. Do not allow the gasket to contact the riser flange until the bolt
holes in the flange are aligned with those in the manifold and the discharge port is
aimed in the desired direction.

NOTICE
Wiring Instructions- 208-230 Volt Single Phase Pumps
The motor control box must be located away from the fueling area in a non-hazardous location (see Figure 3).
1. Connect the single phase 208-230 V power supply from the distribution panel to terminals L1 and L2 in the
motor control box. Each control box should be wired through a separate fused disconnect switch or circuit
breaker (including neutral, when used), furnished by customer.
2. Using properly color coded wires, connect wires from the red, black, orange and two blue terminals on motor
control box terminal strip to the corresponding color coded wires in the junction box of the proper submerged
pump.
The “on-off” control station must be of explosion-proof construction. Where loading racks and dispensers are
served by the same submerged pump, the 2-wire switches must be connected in parallel so the submerged
pump can be controlled from any dispenser or any loading rack.
3. Connect wires from terminal Blue-1 and terminal 3 in motor control box to dispenser control switches (if
dispensers are used) and “on-off” switch at loading rack as shown in Figure 3.
4. The pumps are equipped with a no-liquid, over-temperature switch in the motor and an overload switch in the
motor control box which will cut out if the motor is overloaded. If the pump fails to operate, or stops, when
there is sufficient product in the storage tank, check the manual overload reset switch in the control box cover.
Wait 10 minutes for the overload protector to cool off and then press the reset button.
If the reset button will not stay in position this indicates an overloaded motor, or a
short to ground. This condition must be corrected. If the reset button stays in but the
motor will not pump or continue to run, the tank is dry.
5. If an external pilot light is desired to indicate when the submerged pump is operating, wire as shown in
Figure 3, Figure 4 or Figure 5. Should this light continue to burn when all switches atdispensers and loading
racks are off, this indicates that one of the dispenser switches is out of adjustment. On installations with no
external pilot light, the submerged pump should be checked to make sure it is not operating when all switches
are turned off.
6. The magnetic contactor coil is shipped ready to accept 208-230 volts. No changes are required unless a 110-
120 volt coil is desired.
Wiring Instructions - 208-230, 380/415 or 575 Volt Three-Phase Pumps
On some installations, “phase converters” are used to obtain a three-phase power supply
from a single-phase power source. The use of phase converters may cause an imbalance
between the three phases and cause damage to the motor. For this reason, these
requirements must be followed in order to maintain warranty coverage.
• Static phase converters must not be used. Only rotary or electric phase converters are
allowed.
• The horsepower rating of the phase converter must be equal to at least three times the
horsepower rating of the pump(s).
• Current imbalance must not exceed 10% under varying flow conditions.
• Proper three-leg quick trip overloads must be used.
1. Installations where the magnetic starter is located away from the loading rack in a nonhazardous location. (See
Figure 6)
a.Connect the three phase power supply from the master panel to terminals L1, L2 and L3 in the magnetic
starter.
b.Using properly color coded wires, connect a black wire from terminal T1 in the magnetic starter to the
black motor lead, in the junction box of the proper submerged pump. Connect an orange wire from starter
terminal T2 to the orange motor lead and red wire from terminal T3 to the red motor lead. (See Figure 6
and Figure 7.)

InstallationWiring the Conduit Box
NOTICE
WARNING
c.There are two remaining blue wires in the submerged pump junction box. Connect either blue wire to one
side of the ‘on-off’ controls or switched ‘hot’ from the electronic dispenser or Isotrol (dispenser handle
isolation). The ‘on-off’ controls must be of explosion-proof construction if located in a hazardous location.
Connect the other blue wire to the appropriate terminal on the other side of the ‘on-off’ controls. See
specific wiring diagrams provided with the magnetic starters matching pump voltage, coil voltage and type
of pump control.
d.Installations using loading racks only, may be connected for 2- or 3-wire control. For 3-wire control
(Figure 7), connect a black wire from terminal 3 in the magnetic starter to the ‘on-off’ switch. Connect a
red wire from terminal 2 in the magnetic starter to the ‘on-off’ switch. Connect either blue wire to the other
side of the ‘on-off’ switch and connect the other blue wire to L1 of the magnetic starter.
3-wire control requires the use of an auxiliary contact in the magnetic starter. This auxiliary
contact is standard equipment in the G.E. starters supplied by Red Jacket.
Installations with the magnetic starter in a hazardous location require explosion-proof
magnetic starters. The wiring is the same as for general purpose enclosures. (Section
1).
2. Install proper overload heaters in magnetic starter matching starter manufacturer and amperage rating of the
pump.
3. Motor Rotation
Where it is not convenient to predetermine the power supply phase rotation, proper rotation can be determined by pump performance. Pump head pressure and capacity will be considerably less than rated when rotating backwards.
Connect the pump motor leads to terminal T1, T2 and T3 of the magnetic starter observing color code shown
in Figure 6 and Figure 7. With ample product in the tank and the system purged of air, start the motor and
make a pressure gauge reading of the system pressure with the discharge valves closed; or, open one valve
and calculate pumping rate.
Next, reverse power leads at L1 and L2. Repeat either pressure or capacity tests, as described above. If results are higher than the first test, the rotation of the second test is correct. If the second test gives lower performance than the first, reconnect the power leads to L1 and L2 (as under test 1) for correct rotation.
Where the power supply has been properly marked L1, L2 and L3 in accordance with accepted phase rotation standards, it is possible to predetermine the proper rotation of these units. The motor power leads are color coded black, orange and red, and if connected through the magnetic starter to L1, L2 and L3 respectively,
the motor pump unit will rotate in the correct direction. It is recommended, however, that the performance
tests always be made whether or not the power supply has been properly “phased out”.
