Lifting and Transporting PS3 1500 / PS3 2200 Lifting and Transporting Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump by suspending it from the cable assembly. The cable may be damaged, causing electrical leakage, shock, or fire. WARNING When installing the pump, pay close attention to its center of gravity and weight.
(32–104°F) which can lead to failure, current leakage or shock. Do not use in the vicinity of explosive or flammable materials. Use only in fully assembled state. Note: Consult your local dealer or Wacker Neuson representative before using with any liquids other than those indicated in this document.
PS3 1500 / PS3 2200 Installation Maximum Allowable Water Pressure NOTICE: Do not use at greater than the water pressure shown, which can damage the pump resulting in electrical leakage and electrical shock. Model Maximum Allowable Water Pressure PS 3 1500/2200 0.3 MPa (43 PSI)
PS3 1500 / PS3 2200 Installation Checks to Make Before Installation With the megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance between each of the power wires and grounding wire to verify the insulation resistance of the motor. Reference insulation resistance: 20MW or greater Note: The reference insulation resistance (20MW or greater) is the value when the pump is new or has been repaired.
Installation PS3 1500 / PS3 2200 Changing the Operating Voltage The operating voltage of the motor can be changed from 110V to 220V depending on the available power source. WARNING Electric shock hazard. Ensure that the pump is disconnected from the power source before changing the operating voltage.
