INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable liquids.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the maxi-
mum ambient temperature rating (Max. Amb.) listed on the motor model
plate. If this pump is installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure
must have adequate ventilation and air circulation to keep the temperature in
the enclosure at or below the motor's rated ambient temperature whenever
the pump is running.
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress,
bolt pump to mount.)
Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
Pump will not lift water more than 10'(3m).
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (To reduce friction losses).
Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high temperatures.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to col-
lect around the pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it
cool for 20 minutes before trying to work on it.
NOTICE: When connecting threaded pipe directly to pump, use Teflon tape or
Plasto-Joint Stik
to seal connections. Do not use pipe dope; pipe dope causes
1
cracking in some plastics and may damage components in piping system.
When connecting pipe to pump with union half, use Teflon tape or Plasto-
Joint Stik between pipe and union adapter. Union collar to pump should be
assembled dry and hand-tight.
NOTICE: Pump suction and discharge connections have molded in thread
stops. DO NOT try to screw pipe in beyond these stops.
