Simer Pumps 4850C - Manual (Page 4)

LOCATION OF UNIT
Locate pump as near as possible (vertically) to water
source, to keep suction lift (distance form water to pump)
as low as possible. Place pump on level support. Protect
against excess moisture and flooding.
PIPING
Both suction and discharge ports are tapped for 3/4"
pipe. If using hoses, use hose to pipe thread adapter. To
prevent suction line collapse, use pipe or reinforced hose
only for suction line. Install strainer or puddle gulper on
end of suction line. Inspect and clean strainer frequently
(Fig. 1). Plastic pipe can be used for all installations.
PRIMING/OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not run pump dry. Running pump without
water can damage impeller and may damage seal, caus-
ing leaking or flooding, and will void warranty.
All suction connections must be airtight. Make sure
suction lift is not more than 25' (7.6M). Fill pump body
through priming port before starting pump. Start pump;
it should pump water in under 10 minutes (depending
on length of suction hose and height of pump above
water).
ELECTRICAL
Risk of dangerous or fatal electric shock.
Unplug pump before servicing it. Do not
handle pump or attempt to work on pump
with wet hands or while standing on wet or damp floor.
Plug pump into 115 Volt, 60 Cycle outlet only. Pump is
equipped with 3-wire, grounded, cord and plug. Do not
modify or remove plug. Plug in to properly grounded,
grounding type outlet only. Make sure pump circuit
meets National Electrical Code. To avoid dangerous elec-
trical shock hazard, keep cord dry at all times.
