1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

This machine is a submersible water pump. The Wacker Neuson
Submersible Pump consists of an electric motor, an impeller, a strainer,
and a metal casing with ports for water suction and discharge. Power is
supplied to the pump through a corded plug or a hard-wired connection,
depending on the installation. The operator connects hoses to the pump
and routes them so that water is pumped from the work area and
discharged into an appropriate location.

This machine is intended to be used for general de-watering applications.
This machine is intended for the pumping of clear water, or water
containing solids up to the size stated within the products specifications,
and up to the flow, head, and suction lift limits also stated within the
product specifications.

This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use
described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could
permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or other
persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not covered
under warranty.

The following are some examples of misuse:

• Pumping flammable, explosive, or corrosive fluids

• Pumping hot or volatile fluids that result in pump cavitation

• Operating the pump outside of product specifications due to
incorrect diameter hoses, incorrect length hoses, other inlet or
outlet restrictions, or excessive suction lift or head

• Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface

• Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment

• Operating the machine outside of factory specifications

• Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings
found on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual.

This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest
global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate
hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator safety through
protective guards and labeling. However, some risks may remain even
after protective measures have been taken. They are called residual
risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:

• Electric shock from improper electrical connections or high
voltage

• Personal injury from improper lifting techniques

• Projectile hazard from discharge

CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate this product before reading the
Operator’s Manual and understanding its contents.
Mishandling of this product may result in explosion, fire, or
electrical shock.

 Do not pull on the power cord or use the power cord to lift

the pump.

 Always use a dedicated ground leakage circuit breaker.
 Be sure to install the ground wire securely.
 Be sure to disconnect the power supply before handling

or inspecting the pump.

Lifting and Transporting PSR1 500

2 Lifting and Transporting

Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump by
suspending it from the cable assembly. The cable may be damaged,

WARNING

CAUTION

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.

Avoid 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.

CAUTION

3.3 Application Area

electrical shock, current leakage, fire, water leakage or other
problems.

WARNING

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)
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 Neuson representative
before using with any liquids other than those indicated in this manual.

3.3.1 Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water
collects readily.
