NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND
MUST BE FOLLOWED.
THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY
WORK ON THIS PUMP.
MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.
All electrical work must be performed
WARNING
by a qualified technician. Always follow
the National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian
Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial
codes. Code questions should be directed to your
local electrical inspector. Failure to follow electrical
codes and OSHA safety standards may result in per-
sonal injury or equipment damage. Failure to follow
manufacturer's installation instructions may result in
electrical shock, fire hazard, personal injury or death,
damaged equipment, provide unsatisfactory perfor-
mance, and may void manufacturer's warranty.
Standard units are not designed for use
WARNING
in swimming pools, open bodies of wa-
ter, hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist.
These fluids and gases may be present in containment
areas. Tank or wetwell must be vented per local codes.
Only pumps specifically Listed for Class 1, Division 1
are allowable in hazardous liquids and where flam-
mable gases may exist. See specific pump catalog
bulletins or pump nameplate for all agency Listings.
Disconnect and lockout electrical
WARNING
power before installing or servicing any
electrical equipment. Many pumps are equipped with
automatic thermal overload protection which may
allow an overheated pump to restart unexpectedly.
All three phase (3Ø) control panels
CAUTION
for submersible pumps must provide
Class 10, quick-trip, overload protection.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS

Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage.
Report any damage to your supplier or shipping carrier
immediately.
Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate
Amps, Voltage, Phase and HP ratings match your control
panel and power supply.
Many of our sewage pumps are oil-filled. If there are any
signs of oil leakage or if the unit has been stored for an
extended period check the oil level in the motor dome
and the seal housing, if so equipped.
Check the motor cover oil level through the pipe plug
on top of the unit. The motor chamber oil should just
cover the motor. Do not overfill, leave room for expan-
sion!
To check the seal housing oil level, where used, lay the
unit on its side with the fill plug at 12 o'clock. Remove the
plug. The oil should be within ½" (13mm) of the top. If
low, refill with an ASTM 150 turbine oil. Replace the plug.
You can source oil locally at motor repair shops. Typical
oil brands are: Shell Turbo 32, Sunoco Sunvis 932, Texa-
co Regal R&O 32, Exxon Nuto 32 and Mobil DTE Light.
Check the strain relief nut on power cable strain assem-
blies. Power cables should be torqued to 75 in. lbs. for
#16 cables and 80 in. lbs. for all other cable assemblies.
Seal/heat sensor cables, where used, should be torqued
to 75 in. lbs.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting
pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (volt-
age/phase supply).
Record the model numbers and serial numbers from the
pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction
manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix
it to the control panel when finished with the installation.

LIFTING OF PUMP

DO NOT LIFT, CARRY OR HANG
WARNING
PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL
CABLES. DAMAGE TO THE
ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN CAUSE
SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.
Hazardous voltage
can shock, burn or
cause death.
Lift the pump with an adequately sized chain or cable
attached to the lifting eye bolt. DO NOT damage elec-
trical and sensor cables while raising and lowering unit.
OPTIONAL GUIDE RAIL
OR LIFT-OUT SYSTEM
In many effluent and sewage basins or lift stations it is
advisable to install the pump on a guide rail system or
on a lift-out adapter to facilitate installation and removal
for inspection and/or service. Most codes do not allow
personnel to enter a wetwell without the correct protec-
tive equipment and training. Guide rails are designed
to allow easy removal of the pump without the need
for entry into the wetwell or need to disturb piping. The
guide rail or lift-out adapter should locate the pump
opposite the influent opening preventing stagnate areas
where solids can settle. The basin or pit must be capable
