The submersible R Series pumps are designed to pump water. The RX Series pumps are designed to pump corrosive liquids in concentrations chemically compatible with 316SS and FKM. The R & RX Series pumps are not explosion- proof. They are not designed to pump volatile or flammable liquids.
SAFETY Pump installations are seldom identical. Each installation and application can vary due to many different factors. It is the owner/service mechanics responsibility to repair, service, and test to ensure that the pump integrity is not compromised according to this manual.
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. PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION 1) Check the pump for damage that may have occurred during shipment.
BJM Pumps, LLC at 860-399-5937. As a general rule, R and RX Series top discharge pumps can pump down to a level above the suction screen. Pumping lower than screen will permit air to enter the pump and cavitate, lose prime or become air bound.
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).

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.
Typical 3 phase Auto Control 1 Before installing a pump, check the pump rotation to insure that wiring has been connected properly to power source, and that the green lead of power cord (See wiring diagram), is connected to a valid ground, momentarily energize the pump, observing the directions of kick back due to starting torque.
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 ...
