Note: The stator on this model is oil filled. This needs to be changed annually
when the seal oil is changed. With the power cable entry removed, fill the motor
chamber with oil to a level that insures the oil is covering the motor windings by
½”, and that will be above the upper bearing. Do not overfill, an air gap of 10-15%
must be maintained for heat expansion
PUMP INSTALLATION
KB-F Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions.
Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Risk of electric shock. KB-F Series pump models do not come
with electric plug connectors. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is
connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Lifting:
Attach a rope or lifting chain (not included) to the handle (or lifting rings) on the top of
the pump.
Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/piping.
Proper lifting equipment (rope/chain) must be used.
POSITIONING THE PUMP
BJM Pumps, KB-F Series pumps are designed to operate fully or partially submerged.
Do not run pumps dry. Refer to data sheet for minimum submersion depth for your
particular model. Data sheets can be obtained online at
or by
calling BJM Pumps, LLC at 860-399-5937. As a general rule, KB-F Series top discharge
pumps can pump down to a level above the suction screen. Pumping lower than screen
will permit air to enter the pump and cavitate, lose prime or become air bound.
