4.2Prior to operation
When the pump is delivered, first perform the following checks:
•Inspection
While unpacking, inspect the product for damage during shipment, and
make sure all bolts and nuts are tightened properly.
•Specification check
Check the model number to make sure it is the product that was
ordered. Be certain it is the correct voltage and frequency.
Note: If there is any problem with the product as shipped, contact your
nearest dealer or Wacker representative at once.
•Product specifications
Do not operate this product under any conditions other than those for
which it is specified. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to
CAUTION
electrical shock, current leakage, fire, water leakage or other
problems.
4.3Installation
If the pump is used for outdoor fountains, garden ponds and similar
places, or to drain a swimming pool, the pump must be supplied by an
isolating transformer or connected to a Residual Current Device (RCD)
WARNING
with a residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
The pump must not be used when people are in the water.
Leakage of pump lubricants may cause pollution of water.
Proper plug must be provided according to local codes and standards.
Refer to wiring diagram.
DO NOT use this pump in liquids other than water, such as oil, salt
water, or organic solvents.
Use with a power supply voltage within ±5% of the rated voltage.
DO NOT use in water temperatures outside the range of 0–40°C (32–
104°F) which can lead to failure, electrical leakage or shock.
DO NOT use in the vicinity of explosive or flammable materials.
Use only in fully assembled state.
Note: Consult your local dealer or Wacker representative before using
with any liquids other than those indicated in this document.

OperationPS 2 500 / PS 2 750 / PSA 2 500
Preparing for Installation
Before installing the pump at a work site, you will need to have the
following tools and instruments ready:
•Insulation resistance tester (megohmmeter)
•AC voltmeter
•AC ammeter (clamp-on type)
•Bolt and nut tighteners
•Power supply connection tools (screwdriver or box wrench)
Note: Please also read the instructions that come with each of the test
instruments.
Checks to Make Before Installation
When a grounded plug is used:
Use the megohmmeter to measure the insulation resistance between
the cable assembly prongs and ground.
When connection leads are used:
With the megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance between
each core lead and the ground lead.
Reference insulation resistance: 20MW or greater
Note: The reference insulation resistance (20MW or greater) is the
value when the pump is new or has been repaired. For the reference
value after installation, see Maintenance and Inspection.
DO NOT measure the insulation resistance with insulation resistance
tester for the following parts. It will cause damage (Model PSA 2 500).
CAUTION
Improper ways to measure insulation resistance
1.Between the plug prongs.
2.Between the electrodes on the level relay unit.
3.Between the electrodes on the level relay unit and the plug prongs.

Precautions During Installation
Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump by
suspending it from the cable assembly. The cable may be damaged,
WARNING
CAUTION
4.3.1This pump series is offered with a variety of discharge fittings. Follow
causing electrical leakage, shock, or fire.
When installing the pump, pay close attention to its center of gravity
and weight. If it is not lowered into place correctly, it may fall and be
damaged or cause injury.
When transporting the pump by hand, be sure to employ manpower
commensurate with the weight of the pump. To avoid back injury when
lifting the pump, bend the knees to pick it up rather than bending your
back only.
procedures noted below to assure a proper discharge connection.
Threaded Discharge Fitting (BSP) –
Tighten hose coupling or discharge pipe securely and with proper
gaskets.
Quick Disconnect Coupling (QD) –
Assure coupling is tightened securely to pump discharge fitting and
companion coupling is securely fastened with proper gaskets.
Barbed Discharge Fitting (Barb) –
Place hose clamp over hose and push hose to the base of the
discharge fitting. Tighten the hose clamp to secure the hose in place.
4.3.2Avoid dropping the pump or other strong impact. Lift the pump by
holding it firmly with the hands or by attaching a rope or chain to the
handle.
Note: On cable assembly handling, see Electrical Wiring.
4.3.3Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water
collects readily.
Note: See “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.
4.3.4The 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.

OperationPS 2 500 / PS 2 750 / PSA 2 500
If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting from
friction in the pump can lead to electrical leakage and shock.
CAUTION
4.3.5Use the pump in the upright position. To prevent the pump from
becoming submerged in mud, mount it on a block or other firm base if
necessary.
4.3.6If used in a permanent installation, where the pump is not readily
accessible after installation, please contact Wacker for a duplicate
nameplate to be installed at the wellhead or on the control box so that
it will be readily visible.
DO NOT lift or hang the pump by the level relay unit (1). It will lead to
damage and may cause leakage, electric shock, and fire (Model PSA
