Note: The Nameplate HP ratings on these dewatering pumps have been converted from the common European
Kw designation. This created a slight difference between the HP rating used in our literature versus the
pump’s nameplate HP. Therefore, when using this manual:
½ HP Model = a .6 nameplate rating
1 HP Model = 1.1 nameplate rating
Product Description
Dimensions

WARNING
WARNING
Installation
Run the cables so that they do not have any sharp bends
and are not pinched.
Connect the motor cable to a grounded power supply.
See “Electrical connections”.
Connect a discharge hose to the threaded discharge
connection. The pump is now fitted with a discharge hub
which may be adjusted to provide either vertical (std.)
or horizontal discharge. Simply remove the (2) hex head
cap screws holding the discharge hub, turn the discharge
hub 180º and reinstall the (2) screws.
Lower the pump into the sump.
Place the pump on a base which will prevent it from
sinking into a soft sump bottom. Alternati vely, the pump
can be suspended by its handle just above the sump bottom.
NOTICE: WHERE REQUIRED BY LOCAL AUTHOR-
ITIES AN ACCEPTABLE MOTORCIRCUIT SWITCH OR OTHER DISCONNECTING DEVICE SHALL BE PROVIDED
AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION.
NOTICE: AT CERTAIN INSTALLATIONS AND
OPERATION POINTS ON THE PUMP
CURVE THE NOISE LEVEL, 70 DB, CAN
BE EXCEEDED.
LEVEL SWITCH OPERATION
Pump control by use of level switch.
Operation
BEFORE STARTING
Electrical Connections
All electrical equipment must be grounded.
This applies to both pump equipment and
any monitoring equipment. Failure to heed this
warning may cause a lethal accident. Make sure that the
ground lead is correctly connected by testing it.
All electrical work shall be carried out under the supervision
of an authorized electrician.
Local codes and regulations shall be complied with.
Check that the main voltage and frequency agree with the
specifications on the pump data plate.
Make sure that the pump is correctly grounded.
If people are likely to come into
physical contact with the pump or pumped
media (liquid), e.g on construction sites or farms etc.,
the grounded socket must have an additional groundfault protection device (GFI) connected. When pumping
near a lake (Jetties, beaches, ponds and fountains etc.) a
safety-distance of at least 65 ft. (20 meters) between the
people and the pump is applicable. The pump must never
be placed directly into a swimming pool unless it is shut
down for maintenance. If used in connection with
swimming pools, special safety regulations apply.
Check the oil level in the oil casing.
Remove the fuses or open the circuit breaker and check
that the impeller can be rotated by hand.
Check that the monitoring equipment (if any) works.
Check the direction of rotation. The impeller shall
rotate clockwise, as viewed from above. When started,
the pump will jerk in the opposite direction to the
direction in which the impeller rotates. See the figure.

CLEANING
WARNING
WARNING
If the pump has been running in very dirty water, let it
run for a while in clean water, or flush it through the
discharge connection. If clay, cement or other similar
dirt is left in the pump it may clog the impeller and seal,
preventing the pump from working.
During a long period out of operation, the pump must
be test run every other month to prevent the mechanical
seals from sticking together.
Watch out for the starting jerk, which can
be powerful.
Always lift the pump by its carrying handle
or lifting eyes, never by the motor cable or
the hose.

INSPECTION
Regular inspection and preventive maintenance ensure
more reliable operation.
The pump should be inspected at least twice a year, more
frequently under severe operating conditions.
TIGHTENING SCREWS
During assembly or service of the pump we recommend
that the screws be tightened to approximately
4.5 - 6 ft lbs (6-8Nm).
This tightening torque ensures that the parts are correctly
fastened and that the pump will operate as intended.
NOTICE: Make sure that the oil-plug screw is not
tightened too hard.
Be sure to disconnect the power supply
before attempting inpection, as the pump
may start automatically.
LUBRICATING SCREWS
To maintain screw tightness use a little mineral oil on all
non-stainless screws (not synthetic lubricants!).
NOTICE: When using stainless steel screws on stainless
steel parts we recommend that ARAL DEGOL
GS 460 or National Chemseal THREAD-EZE
lubricants be used to prevent screws from
seizing or getting stuck.
