a) luBRIcATIoN:
- The pump requires no lubrication.
- For electric motor, refer to instructions provided by the motor
manufacturer.
b) REplAcING mEchANIcAl SEAl (Refer to Figure 2):
To disassemble:
- Disconnect electric power.
- Drain pump.
- Disconnect piping.
- Remove the 4 bolts (1) and take off the casing (2).
- Remove motor cap (8) and insert a screwdriver. Unscrew the
impeller (4) in a counter-clockwise direction.
- Slip the rotating seal (5) from shaft (7) of seal plate/motor as-
sembly.
- Remove seal plate (9) from the motor, being very careful not to
damage the ceramic seat (6).
- Inspect the ceramic seat (6), if it needs replacing, press it out
of the adapter from the motor end.
To Reassemble:
- Clean all parts thoroughly before reassembly. Use liquid soap
on the rubber cup on the ceramic seat (6) and push it into the
seal plate (9). Make sure that the smooth surface of the ceramic
seat faces outwards.
- Assemble the seal plate (9) to the electric motor, being very care-
ful so as not to damage the ceramic seat (6). -
on the rotating seal (5) and slip it on to the shaft (7) with the seal
ring towards the ceramic seat (6). Make sure that the seal ring
face on the rotating seal is in contact with the ceramic seat.
- Screw on the impeller (4). Assemble the casing (2) and use a new gasket
(3). Check to ensure that the impeller can rotate freely in the casing.
- Reconnect pump to suction and discharge hoses.
- All models have a flinger (12) on the shaft. This flinger must not
be removed.
pREcAuTIoNS
a) Whenever the pump is dismantled and then reassembled, always
check to see that the impeller rotates freely within the casing.
b) The flinger on the motor shaft must not be removed.

TYpIcAl INSTAllATIoN

1) EFFluENT pump ApplIcATIoN
- 1 only wall mounted electrode type liquid level control #LH890-
895.
- 3 only 155-3W electrodes, each with 50 ft. (15.2m) #16 flex-
ible wire attached, for 115 volts.
NoTE: For 230 Volts, a floatless liquid level control #2LH-
892-895 is to be used.
ImpoRTANT
a) We recommend, as required by CSA, a three electrode or a
three brass rod system, comprising of a high level start, a low
level stop and a ground (actuator).
b) As alternates, pressure diaphragm switches or a mercury float
switch may be used. Ensure that the current and voltage speci-
fications match those of the pump.
c) Many plumbers prefer not to use a strainer at the suction inlet
as the strainer could clog up. The pump is designed to handle
the effluent and though it is advisable to use a strainer, it is not
absolutely necessary.
2) Sump pump ApplIcATIoN
Clamp the switch to the suction pipe as shown in Fig. 4. Attach the
float and wire assembly and adjust the position of the floats. As the
water reaches the top float, the pump will turn on, when it dropsto the
bottom float, the pump will turn off. The pump and switch should be
wired as shown in Fig. 5. A competent electrician should be employed
to do the wiring.
TRouBlEShooTING
a) pump fails to prime or primes slowly:
1) Leaks in the suction line.
2) Loose gasket connection due to shrinkage of the gasket.
3) Collapsed or clogged suction line.
4) Not enough water in the casing for priming.
5) Suction lift is too great.
b) Reduced pressure or capacity:
1) Partially collapsed or clogged suction hose.
2) Clogged impeller.
3) Leaks in the suction line.
4) Strainer or end suction hose is not properly submerged.
5) Suction line is improperly installed, resulting in air pockets
in the suction line.
6) Suction lift is too great (the greater the suction lift, the lower
the capacity and pressure).
7) Worn parts, such as the impeller or the pump casing.
c) poor or little capacity:
Improper impeller rotation. Impeller must rotate in a counter-
clockwise direction as seen facing the pump from the front
of the casing.
