Lifting and Transporting PS(A)2 800 / PSW3 1500 Lifting and Transporting Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump by suspending it from the cable assembly. The cable may be damaged, causing electrical leakage, shock, or fire. WARNING When installing the pump, pay close attention to its center of gravity and weight.
(32–104°F) which can lead to failure, electrical leakage or shock. Do not use in the vicinity of explosive or flammable materials. Use only in fully assembled state. Note: Consult your local dealer or Wacker Neuson representative before using with any liquids other than those indicated in this manual. 3.3.1 Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water collects readily.
3.3.4 If used in a permanent installation, where the pump is not readily accessible after installation, please contact Wacker Neuson for a duplicate nameplate to be installed at the wellhead or on the control box so that it will be readily visible.
Installation PS(A)2 800 / PSW3 1500 Checks to Make Before Installation • When a grounded plug is used: Use the megohmmeter to measure the insulation resistance between the cable assembly prongs and ground. • When connection leads are used: With the megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance between each core lead and the ground lead.
PS(A)2 800 / PSW3 1500 Installation Discharge Fittings This pump series is offered with a variety of discharge fittings. Follow procedures noted below to assure a proper discharge connection. Threaded Discharge Fitting (BSP) – Tighten hose coupling or discharge pipe securely and with proper gaskets.
Installation PS(A)2 800 / PSW3 1500 Connecting the Power Supply Before connecting leads to the terminal strip, make certain the power supply is turned off (circuit breaker, etc.), to avoid electrical shock, shorting, or unexpected starting of the pump, leading to injury. WARNING Before inserting the power supply plug, make certain the power supply is turned off (circuit breaker, etc.), to avoid electrical shock, shorting,...
PS(A)2 800 / PSW3 1500 Installation Cable Assembly If it is necessary to extend the cable assembly, use a core size equal to or larger than the original. This is necessary not only to avoid a performance drop, but to prevent cable overheating which can result in CAUTION fire, electrical leakage or electrical shock.
When powering the pump with a generator, be certain the generator is sized to supply the required power for the pump and any other equipment powered by the generator. Non-Automatic Model (PS2 800, PSW3 1500) Test Operation Do not operate the pump while it is suspended in the air. The recoil may result in injury or other major accident.
