Installation Date:

Install, ground and wire according to local and National Electrical Code Requirements.

Install an all leg disconnect switch near the pump.

Disconnect and lockout electrical power before installing or servicing the pump.

Electrical supply must match motor’s nameplate speciﬁcations. Incorrect voltage can cause ﬁre, damage motor and void the warranty.

Single phase pump motors are equipped with an automatic thermal protector, which opens the motor’s electrical circuit when an overload condition exists. This can cause the pump to start unexpectedly.

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

APPLICATIONS

Dewatering pumps are intended to be used for pumping water which may contain abrasive particles. The pumped liquid may contain particles up to a size which corresponds to the openings in the strainer.

TECHNICAL DATA Liquid temperature: 41- 95ºF (5-35ºC)

The pH of the pumped liquid: 3–8 Depth of immersion: max. 16.5 ft (5 m). Discharge connection:

2" (50 mm) hose, 2"-11.5 NPSM or 2" NPT

Oil type:

Mobil Whiterex or Shell Ondina etc. with viscosity class ISO VG 15 to 32. 0.17 liter.

The pump may not be used in an explosive or ﬂammable environment or for pumping

ﬂammable liquids.

½ HP = 15.8"

1 HP = 17"

7.25"

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 by its handle. Do not lower with cord.

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 ground-fault protection device (GFI) connected. When pumping near a lake (Jetties, beaches, ponds and fountains etc.) a safetydistance of at least 65 ft. (20 meters) between 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 should

rotate clockwise, as viewed from above. When started, the pump will spin in the opposite direction to the direction in which the impeller rotates. See the ﬁgure.

STARTING JERK

WARNING

CLEANING

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 of storage, 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.

Care and Maintenance

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

overtightened.

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 (non-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.

If the motor cable on this pump is damaged

the cable may only be changed by a repair shop authorized by the manufacturer. This is necessary as special tools are required to change the cable.

Spare Parts

SPARE PART KITS

Spare parts for the dewatering pumps are available in kits to make service and repair work easier. Each kit contains an instruction sheet with the replacement parts.
