WARNING
any swimming pools, open bodies of water,
any water feature including ponds, fountains or waterfalls or
any application where a person can come into contact with
the water in which the pump is submerged. Standard units
are not designed for us with hazardous liquids, or where
flammable gases exist. These fluids and gases may be pres-
ent in containment areas. Tank or wetwell must be vented per
local codes. Failure to follow this warning may result in electric
shock, explosion, fire hazard, personal injury or death.

WARNING
Division 1 are allowable in hazardous liquids
and where flammable gases may exist. See specific pump
catalog bulletins or pump nameplate for all agency Listings.
Disconnect and lockout electrical power
CAUTION
before installing or servicing any electrical
equipment. Many pumps are equipped with automatic
thermal overload protection which may allow an over-
heated pump to restart unexpectedly.
All three phase (3Ø) control panels for submersible
pumps must provide Class 10, quick-trip, overload
protection.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage.
Report any damage to your supplier or shipping carrier
immediately.
Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate
Amps, Voltage, Phase and HP ratings match your control
panel and power supply.
Many of our sewage pumps are oil-filled. If there are any
signs of oil leakage or if the unit has been stored for an
extended period check the oil level in the motor dome
and the seal housing, if so equipped.
Check the motor cover oil level through the pipe plug on
top of the unit. The motor chamber oil should just cover
the motor. Do not overfill, leave room for expansion!
To check the seal housing oil level, where used, lay the
unit on its side with the fill plug at 12 o'clock. Remove the
plug. The oil should be within ½" (13mm) of the top. If
low, refill with an ASTM 150 turbine oil. Replace the plug.
You can source oil locally at motor repair shops. Typical
oil brands are: Shell Turbo 32, Sunoco Sunvis 932, Texaco
Regal R&O 32, Exxon Nuto 32 and Mobil DTE Light.
Check the strain relief nut on power cable strain assem-
blies. Power cables should be torqued to 75 in. lbs. for
#16 cables and 80 in. lbs. for all other cable assemblies.
Seal/heat sensor cables, where used, should be torqued
to 75 in. lbs.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting
pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (volt-
age/phase supply).
Record the model numbers and serial numbers from the
pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction
manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix
it to the control panel when finished with the installation.
