European Declaration of Conformity of the Machinery On behalf of The Veeder-Root Company (The Manufacturer), I declare that the equipment types listed on the declaration are designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and subsequent amendments to the directive.
Introduction Fuel Compatibilities Fuel Compatibilities Pumps are designed to operate in a Class 1, Group D atmosphere. All Models of the Maxxum® are UL Listed for the Following Fuel Compatibility Gasoline and up to Diesel Gasoline Ethanol Methanol MTBE ETBE TAME The Maxxum®...
Installation This pumping system requires the following elements: 1. Discharge Manifold Assembly - Installed below grade (NEC/Class I, Group D, Division I area) 2. Motor-Pump Unit Assembly - Installed below grade (NEC/Class I, Group D, Division I area) 3. Control Box/Magnetic Starter An “all inclusive”...
Installation Follow These Directions Carefully 3. Maxxum® submersibles are not designed to handle abrasives or foreign particles in the product being pumped. 4. Product temperature must never exceed 105°F (41°C) as the submersible motors are equipped with an auxiliary thermal overload. Product temperature higher than 105°F (41°C) may result in tripping of the thermal overload under low flow rate conditions.
Installation Attaching the Expansion Relief Vent Line 3. Insert three 3/4-inch bolts, provided, and torque them to 200 ft-lb (271 N•m). Lifting eyes Bolt torque 200 ft-lb. (3 places) Manifold Vent line 3" NPT or BSP discharge port 6" NPT riser flange rj/051-301-1.eps Figure 1.
Installation Wiring the Conduit Box NOTES: 1. For AUS/NZ applications, use suitable O-ring AUS EX, ANZEx or IECEx certified cable gland or flameproof entry device to close the 1" NPT conduit connection where equipment is installed for Ground wire screw connection of the external circuit conductors to the motor conductors.
Installation Wiring the Conduit Box WIRING INSTRUCTIONS - 208-230, 380/415 OR 575 VOLT THREE-PHASE PUMPS On some installations, “phase converters” are used to obtain a three-phase power supply from a single-phase power source. The use of phase converters may cause an imbalance between the three phases and cause damage to the motor.
Installation Wiring the Conduit Box or coded black, orange and red, and if connected through the magnetic starter to L1, L2 and L3 respectively, the motor pump unit will rotate in the correct direction. It is recommended, however, that the performance tests always be made whether or not the power supply has been properly “phased out”.
Installation Connecting to the External Equipotential Bonding Terminal Connecting to the External Equipotential Bonding Terminal A M6 threaded fastener set is provided on the side of the manifold identified by the symbol for equipotential bonding. Refer to Figure 5 for the location underneath the conduit box assembly. If required by nationally applicable installation regulations or by conditions per certificate (see Appendix A or Appendix B), connection to this terminal is to be made using a conductor having a cross-sectional area of at least 4mm²...
Installation Starting the System and Completing the Installation Starting the System and Completing the Installation 1. Do not start pumps unless ample product is in the storage tank. 2. Pump sufficient product through each dispenser to purge the entire system of air. If all air is not purged, the computers may “creep”...

Installation Installing A Big Flo Diaphragm Valve Installing A Big Flo Diaphragm Valve Disconnect, lock out, and tag power at the panel before servicing the pump When servicing equipment, use non-sparking tools and use caution when removing or installing equipment to avoid generating a spark. The installation described herein is for a single pump system (reference Figure 8).
Installation Attaching the Siphon and Vacuum Lines with Factory Installed Siphon Assemblies Attaching the Siphon and Vacuum Lines with Factory Installed Siphon Assemblies Disconnect, lock out, and tag power at the panel before servicing the pump When servicing equipment, use non-sparking tools and use caution when removing or installing equipment to avoid generating a spark.
Installation Installing Two Pumps for Tandem Operation Installing Two Pumps for Tandem Operation When greater flow rates are needed, two pumps may be required in the same piping system by means of a manifold. If they are installed according to the illustration, a tandem system offers backup support so operations can continue if one pump stops working.
Installation Installing Two Pumps for Tandem Operation It is preferable that the wiring allow both submersibles to operate simultaneously with any combination of dispensers turned on. To operate individually, the appropriate disconnect switch must be turned off manually. (See Figure 11 and Figure 12 for suggested wiring diagrams.) Figure 11.

Testing the Installation Testing the Piping Disconnect, lock out, and tag power at the panel before servicing the pump When servicing equipment, use non-sparking tools and use caution when removing or installing equipment to avoid generating a spark. 1. Block the lines at each dispenser. (Trip the dispenser shear valve.) 2.
Testing the Installation Testing the Tank Testing the Tank Disconnect, lock out, and tag power at the panel before servicing the pump When servicing equipment, use non-sparking tools and use caution when removing or installing equipment to avoid generating a spark. 1.
Testing the Installation Adjusting the Pressurstat Line Relief Pressure Adjusting the Pressurstat Line Relief Pressure Note: Pressurstat line relief pressure is the line pressure after the pump stops. 1. All pumps are factory set to a line relief pressure of 23-28 psi (160-195 kPa). 2.
Service and Repair Removing the Extracta Assembly Disconnect, lock out, and tag power at the panel before servicing the pump When servicing equipment, use non-sparking tools and use caution when removing or installing equipment to avoid generating a spark.
