Pump specifications If you have purchased our standard product, refer to the “Standard specifications” table. If you have also purchased a custom-made product with special specifications, refer to the specifications including the external dimensions drawing. Caution Do not use this pump under any conditions other than those provided in the specifications.
3. Installation Before using the pump When you receive the pump, check the following points first. If there are any problems, contact the vendor from which you purchased the product. Caution Make sure that the delivered package is placed right-side up before unpacking.
Warning • Do not lift or lower the pump using the cabtyre cable. Otherwise, it may damage the cable and lead to an electric shock. • Before lifting the pump, refer to the catalog, the external dimensions drawing, and other documents to check the weight of the pump. Do not lift the unit if the weight exceeds the rated load of the lifting equipment/device to be used.

When connecting the connection terminals of the cabtyre cable to a power supply, be sure to check the rotation direction. To reverse the rotation direction, swap two of the three wires. Reverse rotation from incorrect wiring may generate abnormal noise and decrease the pump discharge rate, thus leading to failures.
4. Preparation for operation Check items before test operation 4.1.1. Check items related to the electrical system (1) Check that the pump is correctly wired. (2) Check that the terminals are securely connected. (3) Check that the pump is securely grounded. (4) Check that the setup value of the overload protection device is consistent with the rated current value of the pump.

casing is completely submerged in water. Warning Do not allow air to be sucked into the pump during the operation. Otherwise, it may cause the motor to burn out and/or lead to an electric shock. You can adjust the start level by moving up or down the float switch holder. If the supplied float mounting bar is too short, replace it with a longer vinyl chloride pipe (13A, OD: φ18 for water service).
Test operation Warning If there is a person in a place where water is stored, such as a bath, a pool, or a pond, never run any submerged pumps. Otherwise, it may lead to an electric shock. (1) Referring to “3.4. Precautions for wiring work,” be sure to check the rotation direction of the motor after installing the pump in water.

5. Maintenance and inspection Precautions for maintenance and inspection When carrying out a daily inspection, carefully observe the following points. (1) Because a submersible motor is used, periodically check the insulation resistance. If the insulation has degraded rapidly, inspect the motor. Warning Do not run the pump if the insulation resistance is not higher than 1MΩ.
· Clean the strainer. Lower performance · Because it is necessary to replace the impeller, Wear of the impeller contact Teral Inc. or the service company. Defective or improper piping · Repair or correct the piping appropriately. · Correctly set the stop level.
7. Detachable device (option) Names of components 7.1.1.
