INTRODUCTION This Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual provides important information on safety and the proper inspection, disassembly, assembly and testing of the BJM Pumps® J & JX Series submersible pump. This manual also contains information to optimize performance and longevity of your BJM Pumps submersible pump.

INSPECTION Review all safety information before servicing pump. The following are recommended installation practices/procedures for the pump. If there are questions in regards to your specific application, contact your local BJM Pumps distributor or BJM Pumps, LLC.

Proper lifting equipment (rope/chain) must be used. POSITIONING THE PUMP BJM Pumps, J & JX Series pumps are designed to operate fully or partially submerged. Do not run the pump dry. Refer to data sheet for minimum submersion depth for your particular model.
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.
Single phase pumps always use a three-prong grounded receptacle. It is recommended that a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) type receptacle (or equivalent) be used. 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).
Use with approved motor control that matches motor input in full load amperes. “UTILLISER UN DÉMARREAR APPROUVÉ CONVENANT AU COURANT Á PLEINE CHARGE DU MOTEUR.” BJM Pumps has been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions. Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
SINGLE PHASE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied with a three prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The three prong plug must be inserted into a mating three prong grounded receptacle.
“Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief or connect conduit directly to the pump. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician. To automatically operate a non-automatic three phase pump, a control panel is required.
Pump should be disconnected from the electric power supply before proceeding to do any service or maintenance. To service or repair your pump, please contact your local BJM Pumps distributor. Service should only be performed by a qualified electrician. MAINTAINING YOUR PUMP ...
