3.8 Precautions in Installation
3.8.1 The pump is supplied with a threaded discharge fitting. Tighten hose
coupling or discharge pipe securely and with proper gaskets.
3.8.2 Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water
collects readily.
Note: See Operation (“Operating Water Level”) for the water level
necessary for operation. The discharge end of the hose should be
located higher than the water surface. If the end of the hose is
submerged, water may flow back to the pump when the pump is
stopped; and if the hose end is lower than the water surface, water may
overflow when the pump is turned off.
3.8.3 The hose should be run as straight as possible, since excessive
bending will hinder the water flow, preventing sufficient lift, and can
even cause the hose to become clogged with earth. If the hose is
crimped near the pump, air can become trapped in the pump and
cause idle running.
If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting from
friction in the pump can lead to electrical leakage and shock.
CAUTION
NOTICE: When the pump is installed at a work site, make sure the
hose is connected in such a way as to ensure proper drainage.
Otherwise water may leak out and cause damage to surrounding walls
or flooring, or to equipment.
3.8.4 Use the pump in the upright position. To prevent the strainer from
becoming submerged in mud, causing it to suck in sand or debris,
mount it on a block or other firm base.
3.8.5 If used in a permanent installation, where the pump is not readily
accessible after installation, please contact Wacker Neuson for a
duplicate nameplate to be installed at the wellhead or on the control
box so that it will be readily visible.
Do not operate the pump dry. Doing so will prevent the pump from
attaining its full potential and may also damage the pump and lead to
CAUTION
a short and electrical shock.

3.11 Cable Assembly
If it is necessary to extend the cable assembly, use a core size equal
to or larger than the original. This is necessary not only to avoid a
CAUTION
performance drop, but to prevent cable overheating which can result in
fire, electrical leakage or electrical shock.
If a cable with cut insulation or other damage is submerged in the
water, there is a danger of damage to the pump, electrical leakage,
electrical shock, or fire.
Be careful not to let the cable assembly be cut or become twisted. This
may result in damage to the pump, electrical leakage, electrical shock,
or fire.
If it is necessary to submerge the connection wires of the cable
assembly in water, first seal the wires completely in a molded
protective sleeve, to prevent electrical leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
Do not allow the cable assembly wires or power supply plug to become
wet.
Make sure the cable does not become excessively bent or twisted, and
does not rub against a structure in a way that might damage it.
If used in a deep-well installation, the cable assembly should be
secured every 6 m (20 ft.).

Note: Always determine the cause of the problem and resolve it before
resuming operation. Simply repeating cycles of stopping and restarting
will end up damaging the pump. Do not continue operation at very low
lift, low water level, or while the strainer stand is clogged with debris.
Not only will performance suffer, but also such conditions may cause
noise, heavy vibration, and malfunctioning.

5.1 Periodic Maintenance Schedule
The table below lists basic machine maintenance. Tasks designated
with check marks may be performed by the operator. Tasks
designated with square bullet points require special training and
equipment.
Pump
Measure insulation resistance.
Reference insulation resistance =
1MΩ or greater. (1)
Measure operating current.
Compare with rated current.
Measure supply voltage.
Compare with allowable range (within ±5% of rated
voltage).
Pump inspection.
A noticeable drop in performance may indicate
wear in the impeller, etc., or else clogging of the
strainer, etc. Remove the clogged debris and
replace any worn parts.
Lubricant inspection.
Change lubricant.
Weekly Monthly Every
1000
hrs.
Every
2000
hrs.
Designated lubricant: SAE 10W/20W. (2)
Change mechanical seal. (3)
Overhaul.
This should be carried out even if there are no problems with the pump. The frequency depends on
how continuously the pump is in use. (4)
(1) If the insulation resistance has become noticeably lower than the previous inspection, an inspec-
tion of the motor will be necessary.
(2) See Inspecting Lubricant and Replacing Lubricant in this section.
(3) Specialized know-how is required for inspecting and replacing the mechanical seal. Consult with
your nearest dealer or Wacker Neuson representative.

5.2 Maintenance and Inspection
Regular maintenance and inspections are a necessity for continued
efficient functioning of the pump. If any abnormal conditions are
noticed, refer to the Troubleshooting section and take corrective
measures immediately. It is recommended that a spare pump be kept
ready in case of any problems.
Prior to inspecting
Before inspecting the pump, make certain the power supply (circuit
breaker, etc.) is turned off. Then, unplug the cable assembly from the
WARNING
5.2.1 Washing the pump
5.2.2 Inspecting the pump exterior
receptacle or detach it from the terminals. Failure to follow this
precaution may result in a serious accident from electrical shock or
unexpected starting of the pump motor.
Remove accumulated matter from the surface of the pump and wash
it with clean water. Take special care to remove any debris from the
impeller.
5.3 Storage
Look for any peeling or chipped paint, and make sure the nuts and
bolts are fastened tightly. Any cracks in the surface should be repaired
by cleaning that area, drying it and then applying a touch-up coating.
Note: Touch-up paint is not supplied. Note that some kinds of damage
or looseness may require that the unit be disassembled for repairs.
Please consult your nearest dealer or Wacker Neuson representative.
When the pump is out of use for an extended period, wash it and dry it
thoroughly, then store it indoors.
Note: Always run a test operation before putting the pump back into
service.
If the pump is left in the water, it should be run a minimum of once a
week.
• Inspecting Lubricant
Remove the oil plug and tilt the pump to drain a small amount of
lubricant. If the lubricant is milky white or has water mixed in with it, the
mechanical seal may be faulty. In this case the pump will need to be
disassembled and repaired.
• Replacing Lubricant
Remove the oil plug and drain all the lubricant, then replace it with the
specified amount.

PS3 1500 / PS3 2200 Maintenance
Note: Worn lubricant and other waste products should be disposed of
by a qualified agent, in accord with applicable laws. The oil plug gasket
should be replaced each time the lubricant is inspected or changed.

5.4 Disassembly and Reassembly
Before disassembling the pump, make certain the power supply (circuit
breaker, etc.) is turned off. Then, unplug the cable assembly from the
WARNING
receptacle or detach it from the terminals. To avoid electrical shock, do
not work with wet hands.
Do not check the operation of any parts (impeller rotation, etc.) by
turning on the power while the unit is partially assembled. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in a serious accident.
Do not disassemble or repair any parts other than those designated
here. If repairs are necessary in any other than the designated parts,
consult your nearest dealer or Wacker Neuson representative.
Improper repairs can result in electrical leakage, electrical shock, fire,
or water leaks.
After reassembly, always perform a test operation before resuming
use of the pump. Improper assembly will cause the pump to
malfunction, resulting in electric shock or water leaks.
The procedure for disassembly and reassembly is shown here to the
extent necessary for impeller replacement. A specialized environment
and facilities are necessary for work on the mechanical seal and the
motor parts. Contact your nearest dealer or Wacker Neuson
representative in the event such repairs are necessary.
