Data sheets can be obtained online at www.flowsolutions.com or by calling Industrial Flow Solutions Operating, LLC at 860-399-5937.
PUMP ROTATION Two ways to check the correct pump rotation: 1. By looking at the impeller; the rotation of the impeller should be counter clockwise as shown in the picture below. 2. By looking from the top of the pump. Since the impeller cannot be seen, the best way to check the rotation is to check the kick back motion of the pump when the pump just starts.
PUMP OPERATION This pump is designed to handle dirty water that contains some solids. It is not designed to pump volatile or flammable liquids. Do not attempt to pump any liquids which may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure.
STOPPING To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode), unplug it from the power source, turn off the breaker, or turn the power source off (generator). Typical 3 phase manual control 1 TYPICAL AUTOMATIC WASTEWATERING INSTALLATION NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
