Operation - CountyLine CLW550 Owner's Manual

Installation • Operation • Service
NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when
handling solids, do not install it with discharge
angled more than 45° above the horizontal. Do not
install check valve in a vertical position as solids
may settle in valve and prevent opening on startup.
7. Drill a 3/16" (4.7mm) hole in discharge pipe
about 1"-2" (2.5 - 5.1cm) above pump discharge
connection (but below check valve) to prevent the
pimp from airlocking.
8. Insert the float switch piggy-back plug into a properly
grounded outlet and the pump plug into the piggy-
back plug.
9. Check the installation by observing the pump
operation through one complete cycle. Make sure
that no parts of the assembly interfere with the
float switch.
Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury
and/or property damage. Failure to make this operational
check may lead to improper operation, premature failure,
and flooding.
Electrical
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. When installing, operating, or servicing this pump,
follow safety instructions listed below.
1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
2. DO NOT allow electrical cord plug to be submerged.
3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard
and can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent
pumping and/or damage motor.
4. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is
connected to power supply.
5. DO NOT remove grounding prong from plug or
modify plug.To protect against electrical shock, the
power cord is a three-wire conductor and includes
a 3-prong grounded plug. Plug pump into a 3-wire,
grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Connect pump
according to electrical codes that apply.
For automatic operation, plug pump into an automatic
float switch or pump controller. Pump will run
continuously when plugged directly into an electrical
outlet. Connect pump to its own individual branch
circuit with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit.
Size fuses or circuit breakers according to Specifications
chart.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Be sure that power supply information (Voltage/
Hertz/Phase) on pump motor nameplate matches
incoming power supply exactly. Install pump according
to all electrical codes that apply.

Operation

NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It
will void the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will protect
motor from burning out due to overheating/ overloading.
When motor cools down, overload protector will
automatically reset and start motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be
a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure
in motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
have it serviced by a competent repairman.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing
is required.
Service
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn
or kill. Before removing pump from basin for service,
always disconnect electrical power to pump and control
switch.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn
or kill. Do not lift pump by power cord. See Cord
Lift Warning.
Submerge pump in a disinfectant solution (dilute chlorine
bleach) for at least one hour before disassembling pump.
The pump motor contains a special lubricating oil which
should be kept clean and free of water at all times.
Check operation by filling sump with water and
observing pump operation through one complete cycle.
Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury
and/or property damage. Failure to make this operational
check may lead to flooding and premature failure.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications
involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine
will void warranty.
