This instruction sheet provides you with the information required to safely
own and operate your Proven pump. Retain these instructions for future
reference.
The Proven pump you have purchased is of the highest quality workmanship
and material, and has been engineered to give you long and reliable service.
Proven pumps are carefully tested, inspected, and packaged to ensure safe
delivery and operation. Please examine your pump carefully to ensure that
no damage occurred during shipment. If damage has occurred, please
contact the place of purchase. They will assist you in replacement or repair,
if required.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR PROVEN PUMP.
KNOW THE PUMP'S APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL
HAZARDS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING
ALL SAFETY INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE!
DESCRIPTION
Proven submersible sump and effluent pumps are recommended for use
in basins or lift stations, and are suitable for pumping effluent, wastewater,
and other non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids. The SC series pumps
have 3/8" spherical solids handling capability. Other accessories such as
basins, check valves, and covers are also available.
SPECIFICATIONS
Discharge Size: 1-1/2" NPT vertical
Intake Size: 1-3/8" screened opening, 3/8" solids
Pump Housing: Cast iron
Volute: Cast iron
Impeller: Vortex design cast iron
Motor: Single-phase PSC with automatic reset thermal
overload protection.
Hardware: 300 series stainless steel
Bearings: Ball
Pump Shaft Seal:Mechanical, spring loaded, stationary carbon with
Nitrile boot and rotating ceramic seat
Cooling: The motor housing contains oil to cool the motor and to
lubricate bearings and seals. These pumps are capable
of operating with the motor housing partially exposed
for extended periods of time, as long as sufficient motor
cooling and bearing lubrication is provided. However,
for the best cooling and longest motor life, the liquid
level being pumped should normally be above the top
of the cast iron motor housing.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: This pump is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Your pump is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug. The third prong
grounds the pump to prevent possible electrical shock hazard. Do
not remove the third prong from the plug. A separate branch circuit is
recommended. Do not use an extension cord.
When a pump is in a basin or lift station, do not touch motor, pipes, or
water until unit is unplugged or shut off. If shut-off box is not accessible,
call the electric company to shut off service to the house, or call your local
fire department for instructions. Failure to follow this warning can result in
fatal electrical shock.

Do not modify the power cord except to shorten it to fit into a control panel.
Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made within
a junction box and mounted outside of the basin, and comply with the
National Electrical Code. Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor
overloading as a result of excessively high or low voltage, inadequate
wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump.
1. Read all instructions and safety guidelines thoroughly. Failure to
follow the guidelines and instructions could result in serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
2. DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE, ETC. DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERES OR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS AS CLASSIFIED BY
NEC, ANSI/NFPA70. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
3. During normal operation the pump is immersed in water. Also, during
rain storms, water may be present in the surrounding area of the pump.
Use caution to prevent bodily injury when working near the pump:
a. Remove the plug from the receptacle prior to touching, servicing,
or repairing the pump.
b. To minimize possible fatal electrical shock hazard, use extreme
care when changing fuses. Do not stand in water while changing
fuses or insert your finger into the fuse socket.
4. Do not operate the pump in a dry basin. This will cause the
pump to become extremely hot, causing burns if touched and/or
damage to the pump.
5. Do not oil the motor. The pump housing is sealed. A high grade
dielectric oil devoid of water has been put into the motor housing
at the factory. Use of other oil could cause serious electric shock
and/or permanent damage to the pump.
6. This pump's motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor
heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings. This oil is
non-toxic to aquatic life. However, suffocation can occur if oil is
left on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor housing it can be
removed from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the
water surface to soak up the oil. DO NOT REMOVE VOLUTE, OIL
COULD BE RELEASED FROM MOTOR HOUSING
7. In any installations where property damage and/or personal injury
might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup
system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The
installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well as the
most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps must be wired
with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250', 14 AWG wire is sufficient.
For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician or the factory.
Pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no other outlets
or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit breaker should be of
ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Install the pump in a suitable gas-tight basin that is at least 18" in
diameter and 24" deep.
The SC series pumps feature a 1-1/2" female NPT discharge.
These pumps are equipped with a float switch.
Pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene, or galvanized steel
pipe. Proper adapters are required to connect plastic pipe to pump.
Place the pump on a hard level surface. Never place pump directly on
clay, earth, or gravel surfaces.
Use a check valve in the discharge line to prevent back flow of liquid into the
basin. The check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
CAUTION: For best performance of check valves, when handling solids
install in a horizontal position or at an angle of no more than 45°. Do not
install check valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in valve and
prevent opening on start-up.
This pump is equipped with a float switch. Locate the switch so that it
does not interfere with the operation of the pump.
