POSITIONING THE PUMP
BJM Pumps, J-F & JX-F Series pumps are designed to operate fully submerged. Data
sheets can be obtained online a
or by calling BJM Pumps, LLC at
860-399-5937.
Do not run pump dry.
Pump liquid should not exceed a maximum temperature of 200°F (93°C).
Never place the pump on loose or soft ground. The pump may sink, preventing
water from reaching the impeller. Place on a solid surface or suspend the pump
with a lifting rope/chain. The J-F & JX-F Series pumps are provided with a
suction strainer to prevent large solids from clogging the impeller. Any spherical
solids which pass through the strainer should pass through the pump.
For maximum pumping capacity, use the proper size non-collapsible hose or rigid
piping. A check valve may be installed after the discharge to prevent back flow
when the pump is shut off.
