► 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, current 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 document.
1. Install 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.
2. 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.
CAUTION
Personal injury hazard. If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting
from friction in the pump can lead to electrical leakage and shock.
► Use 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.
3. If used in a permanent installation, where the pump is not readily accessible
after installation, please cont act W acker Neuson for a duplicate nameplate to be
installed at the wellhead or on the control box so that it will be readily visible.

5.5Replacement Parts
The table lists the parts that need to be replaced periodically. Replace these using
the recommended frequency as a guideline.
PartReplacement Frequency
Mechanical sealWhen lubricant in oil compartment becomes milky.
Lubricant (SAE 10W/20W)Every 2,000 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first.
Gasket Each time pump is disassembled or inspected.
Dust seal When ring is worn, and each time pump is disassembled or
inspected.
Sleeve When it becomes worn.
5.6Disassembly and Reassembly
Before disassembling the pump, make certain the power supply (circuit breaker,
etc.) is turned off. Then, unplug the cable assembly from the re ceptacle or det ach it
from the terminals.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.
► 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 part s other than those desig nated here. If rep airs
are necessary in any other than the designated parts, consult your nearest dealer
or Wacker Neuson representative. Improper rep airs 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.
