SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the fi nest
pumps on the market today. CP&S pumps are products
engineered and manufactured of high quality compo-
nents. Over one hundred years of pump building experi-
ence along with a continuing quality assurance program
combine to produce a pump which will stand up to the
toughest applications.
This manual will provide helpful information concerning
installation, maintenance, and proper service guidelines.
E B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for dam-
N
age or shortages. If damage has occurred, fi le a claim
G
immediately with the company that delivered the pump. If
L
the manual is removed from the packaging, do not lose or
I
misplace.

B-3) Storage:
H
Short Term- CP&S Pumps are manufactured for effi cient
performance following short inoperative periods in stor-
age. For best results, pumps can be retained in storage,
as factory assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant
temperatures for up to six (6) months.
Long Term- Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty-four (24) months. The unit
should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a
roofed over walled enclosure that provides protection
from the elements (rain, snow, wind-blown dust, etc.), and
whose temperature can be maintained between +40 deg.
F and +120 deg. F. (4.4 - 49°C).
Pump should be stored in its original shipping container.
On initial start up, rotate impeller by hand to assure seal
and impeller rotate freely. If it is required that the pump be
installed and tested before the long term storage begins,
such installation will be allowed provided:
1.) The pump is not installed under water for more than
one (1) month.
2.) Immediately upon satisfactory completion of the test,
the pump is removed, thoroughly dried, repacked in
the original shipping container, and placed in a
temperature controlled storage area.

SECTION C: INSTALLATION
C-1) Location:
These pumps are recommended for general and light
construction, for sump and dewatering drainage, for dewa-
tering manholes and transformer vaults, for pit, tunnel and
trench dewatering, and for fl ood, fi re and other emergency
service cleanup.
Before pumping fl uids other than water, consult the
factory, giving fl uid, fl uid temperature, specifi c
gravity, viscosity, capacity in USGPM and total head and/
or pressure requirements, including friction loss through
discharge line, fi ttings, valves, etc. Pump may run dry
for 5 to 10 minutes in air without damage where air can
circulate freely through the pump. DO NOT allow pump to
be buried in mud or sand.
C-2) Discharge:
Discharge hose is recommended. If rigid pipe is used,
install so that there is no weight or strain on the pump.
C-3) Liquid Level Controls: (If Applicable)
Attach "ON" fl oat to discharge hose or pump cable at
desired pump "ON" level. Attach "OFF" fl oat to discharge
hose or pump cable at desired pump "OFF" level. The
"OFF" fl oat must be below the "ON" fl oat. To attach the
fl oats, thread the cable strap through the buckle with
the ratchet pawl, cinch up tight, thread excess strapping
through outer buckle slot. Be certain the level controls
cannot hang up or foul in its swing. It is recommended that
the pump is completely submerged when the level control
is in the "OFF" mode.
C-4.1) Electrical Connections:
The pump comes with a three wire cord and a three prong
grounded plug on the 120 volt models. The cord assembly
mounted to the pump must not be modifi ed in any way.
This pump comes complete with a 3 wire cord and 3 prong
grounded plug that must be connected into a 3 wire
grounded Ground Fault receptacle. DO NOT remove
ground pin from electrical plug. DO NOT USE THE
POWER CABLE TO LIFT PUMP.
C-4.2) Overload Protection:
An automatic thermal overload protects the motor. The
type of in-winding overload protector used is referred to
as an inherent overheating protector and operates on the
combined effect of temperature and current. This means
that the overload protector will trip out and shut the pump
off if the windings become too hot or the current passing
through them becomes too high.
It will then automatically reset and restart the pump after
the motor cools to a safe temperature. In the event of an
overload, the source of this condition should be deter-
mined and rectifi ed immediately. DO NOT LET THE
PUMP CYCLE OR RUN IF AN OVERLOAD CONDITION
OCCURS!
