PUMP INSTALLATION
 
S-F & SX-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. Three phase pumps 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, S-F & SX-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 the 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 S-F & SX-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.
