All electrical work must be performed
WARNING
by a qualified technician. Always follow
the National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian
Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial
codes. Code questions should be directed to your local
electrical inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and
OSHA safety standards may result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer's
installation instructions may result in electrical shock,
fire hazard, personal injury or death, damaged equip-
ment, provide unsatisfactory performance, and may void
manufacturer's warranty.
Standard units are not designed for use in
WARNING
swimming pools, open bodies of water,
hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist. These
fluids and gases may be present in containment areas.
Tank or wetwell must be vented per local codes.
Only pumps specifically Listed for Class 1, 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

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.

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 immedi-
ately.
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 1 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.
Oil is available in 5 gallon cans through our distributors.
You can also source oil locally at motor repair shops.
Typical oil brands are: Shell Turbo 3, Sunoco Sunvis
93, Texaco Regal R&O 3, Exxon Nuto 3 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.

LIFTING OF PUMP

DO NOT LIFT, CARRY OR HANG
WARNING
PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL
CABLES. DAMAGE TO THE
ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN CAUSE
SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.
Hazardous voltage
can shock, burn or
cause death.
Lift the pump with an adequately sized chain or cable at-
tached to the lifting eye bolt. DO NOT damage electrical
and sensor cables while raising and lowering unit.
OPTIONAL GUIDE RAIL
OR LIFT-OUT SYSTEM
In many effluent and sewage basins or lift stations it is
advisable to install the pump on a guide rail system or on
a lift-out adapter to facilitate installation and removal for
inspection and/or service. Most codes do not allow person-
nel to enter a wetwell without the correct protective equip-
ment and training. Guide rails are designed to allow easy
removal of the pump without the need for entry into the
wetwell or need to disturb piping. The guide rail or lift-
out adapter should locate the pump opposite the influent
