4. Installation DANGER Disconnect and lock out electrical power before installing or servicing the unit. WARNING Ÿ Do not install the starter equipment in an explosive zone unless it is explosion-proof rated. Ÿ Make sure that the unit cannot roll or fall over and injure people or damage property. WARNING Electrical shock hazard.

3. Handle the pump carefully. When suspending the pump to raise or to lower it, attach a wire rope or a chain to the pump's handle. 4. Install the pump only in an area that can maintain a proper water level. NOTE For details on the water level necessary for pump operation, refer to the section on 'Water Level During Operation"...

CAUTION If an excessive amount of sediment is drawn into the pump, it may cause the pump to wear, which can lead to current leakage or electrical shock. NOTE Appropriate piping materials must be provided by the user. Piping materials are not included with the product.

4.4 Grounding ELECTRICAL HAZARD Ÿ You must ground all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump equipment, the driver and any monitoring equipment. Test the ground lead to verify that it is connected correctly. Ÿ If the motor cable is jerked loose by mistake, the ground conductor should be the last conductor to come loose from its terminal.
Page 21
CAUTION Ÿ If the cable must be extended, use an extension cable with the same or larger core size as that of the cable that is provided with the pump. Using a cable of proper size will prevent the motor from attaining its full potential or may cause the cable to overheat, which may lead to fire, current leakage or electrical shock.

1. Once again, check the nameplate of the pump to verify that its voltage and frequency are correct. 2. Check the wiring, power supply voltage, the capacity of the ground leakage circuit breaker and the insulation resistance of the motor. NOTICE Insulation resistance reference value is ≥...

How to verify the correct pump rotation Ÿ By looking at the impeller. The rotation of the impeller should be counter-clockwise as shown in the figure (1). Ÿ By looking from the top of the pump. Since the impeller cannot be seen, the best way to chek the rotation is to check the kick-back motion of the pump when the pump just starts.
Page 25
Ÿ Do not insert your finger or a stick into the pump's inlet opening. Doing so may cause injury, electrical shock, short, or fire. Ÿ When the pump is not used for a long time, make sure that the power supply (such as a breaker) is properly disconnected.
WARNING A b-contact miniature protector is adopted, which is normally "closed" and goes to "open" upon overheating. To protect the motor from current surges, be sure to install a motor breaker, thermal relay or similar device in the external starting console or control panel. 5.5 Water level during operation Pay attention to the water level during the pump operation.

Make sure that you follow these requirements: Ÿ Check the explosion risk before you weld or use electrical hand tools. Ÿ Allow all system and pump components to cool before you handle them. Ÿ Make sure that the product and its components have been thoroughly cleaned. Ÿ...

Interval Inspection item Overhaul Ÿ The pump must be overhauled even if the pump appears normal during operation. The pump may need to be overhauled earlier if Once every it is used continuously or repeatedly. 2 to 5 years Note: Contact the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment to overhaul the pump.

The oil volume for the models which are not included in the tables: about 80% of the total oil cylinder capacity (theoretically, the oil level should cover the mating ring). The parts listed below are dispensable items. As a rule of thumb, use the replacement period as a guide to replacing these parts.

Disassembly procedure for 2 - 3 HP NOTE Before disassembling, be sure to drain the oil from the pump. Models 2 & 3 HP have the same construction. However, models 5 & 7.5 HP are constructed without shaft sleeve. 1. Removing the strainer stand. Remove the hexagonal nut and the plain washer from the bottom and remove the strainer stand from the pump.

Disassembly procedure for 5 - 20 HP NOTE Before disassembling, be sure to drain the oil from the pump. 1. Removing the bottom plate and the strainer. After removing the hexagonal nut and the plain washer from the bottom, remove the bottom plate and the strainer from the pump. 2.
Page 32
Reassembly procedure 1. The reassembly procedure is the reverse sequence of disassembly. NOTE Ÿ After completing reassembly, do not forget to pour the specified amount of oil into the pump. Ÿ The gaskets and o-rings must be replaced with new parts. Also replace any parts that are worm or damaged.
