INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.13 3.6.3 Other Checks Requiring Particular Attention (1) Minimum operating water level Be sure that the pump stop level is not lower than the minimum operating water level specified in the technical document. If the stop level is lower, a vortex flow can occur causing the pump to intake air, resulting in noise and vibration.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.16 4. Electric Wiring 4.1 Power Cable Connection WARNING CHECK THAT THE POWER IS LOCKED OFF AND DISCONNECTED BEFORE WORKING ON PUMP. The electric wiring for a submersible motor is no different from that of an ordinary motor, except that the direction of rotation cannot be easily verified. Wiring to wrong terminals results in a reversed motor, and to prevent this and to achieve best results, the following wiring procedure is recommended.

Page 21
INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.20 5.2 Checking Rotation Direction (Figs. 18 and 19) Check the motor for rotation direction by the following procedure after the pump has been installed in the pump pit. A reversing pump is no problem if operation is not prolonged. If the pump performance curve is available.

Page 23
INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.22 5.3 Cautions of Operation Closed valve operation of the pump is no problem if operating is not prolonged. Otherwise, the pump not only becomes overheated but also is caused to rattle and vibrate by backward flow of the liquid at the suction port. Avoid closed valve operation as much as circumstances allow.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.23 6. Maintenance and Overhaul While the life of the pump depends largely on the ambient conditions, daily servicing and inspection helps extend service life considerably. To achieve that, carry out the maintenance as follows : 6.1 Daily Checks Check the following items at least once a week.
Page 25
INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.24 WARNING : BEFORE PULLING THE PUMP, DISCONNECT ALL CABLES AND ENSURE THAT THE PUMP IS ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY. WARNING : ALWAYS LIFT THE PUMP BY THE LIFTING LUGS, NEVER BY THE MOTOR CABLE. WARNING : WHEN LIFTING THE PUMP, USE APPROPRIATE CRANE (OR HOIST) AND LIFT SYSTEM.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.25 (c) If a very small quantity of oil leaks out, there is no practical problem. If water or oil containing water, in excess of 1 liter (after one year of use), leaks out the mechanical seal must be replaced. (d) If much water is emitted, the mechanical seal or others components may be damaged, and an overhaul is necessary.
Page 27
INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.26 (d) Replug the “oil port” as carefully as the other ports. (e) To replace either upper or lower mechanical seal, the pump must be disassembled. As the mechanical seal is a cartridge type, removing the retaining ring permits seal removal as a complete assembly. After the mechanical seal has been replaced with a new one, reassemble the pump and supply the specified oil through the “oil port”...

INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.27 *ICS opt. (2) Mechanical seal (upper) (a) Lift the pump out of the pump pit by lifting procedure described above, and stand it on the floor in a vertical position. Unplug “Leak check hole” in the intermediate casing of the pump. (b) If no liquid leaks from “Leak check hole”, the mechanical seal (upper) is in satisfactory condition.
Page 29
INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.28 *ICS opt. (3) Mechanical Seal (lower) (a) Unplug “Coolant drain hole” (shown in Fig. 20c) and “Air vent” (shown in Figs. 7c and 8c) and drain all internal coolant. (Refer to “Changing Coolant”, *ICS opt. Para 6.6). (b) If the drained coolant is muddy, or milky-white, it contains pumped liquid.
Page 30
INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.29 (4) Rotor (a) After checking the oil, put your hand through the pump discharge and turn the impeller. If it turns smoothly, the rotating components should be in satisfactory condition. (b) If the impeller resists or feels locked, the pump requires overhaul. 6.3.3 Reinstallation After the pump has been thoroughly inspected, reinstall it by reversing the lifting procedure.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.30 WARNING : DURING PUMP DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY, ENSURE THAT THE CABLES ARE DISCONNECTED AND ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY. 6.5.1 Preparation for Disassembly and Reassembly An adequate workspace should be found which is as wide as possible, and has a rigid floor.
Page 32
INSTRUCTION MANUAL P.31 (2) Protect surfaces of mating flanges and the corners of spigot and socket. (3) Cover the shaft threads to protect from damage after disassembly. (4) After disassembly, apply temporary rust prevention to the machined surfaces such as lifted surfaces, threads, shafts, etc. (5) Be careful not to drop tools and parts into the sump pit.
