WARNING

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

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.

LEVEL SWITCH OPERATION

Pump control by use of level switch.

Operation

BEFORE STARTING
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.

STARTING JERK

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 bot-
tom.

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.
