Limited Warranty; Preinstallation Checklist - Zoeller X6161 Manual De Propietario

Manufacturer warrants, to the purchaser and subsequent owner during the
warranty period, every new product to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service, when properly used and maintained,
for a period of 18 months from date of manufacture, 12 months from date of
purchase or 12 months from the date of start up with a start up report on file with
Zoeller. Parts that fail within the warranty period, that inspections determine to be
defective in material or workmanship, will be repaired, replaced or remanufactured
at Manufacturer's option, provided however, that by so doing we will not be
obligated to replace an entire assembly, the entire mechanism or the complete
unit. No allowance will be made for shipping charges, damages, labor or other
charges that may occur due to product failure, repair or replacement.
This warranty does not apply to and there shall be no warranty for any material
or product that has been disassembled without prior approval of Manufacturer,
subjected to misuse, misapplication, neglect, alteration, accident or act of
nature; that has not been installed, operated or maintained in accordance with
Manufacturer's installation instructions; that has been exposed to outside
substances including but not limited to the following: sand, gravel, cement, mud,
tar, hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon derivatives (oil, gasoline, solvents, etc.), or other
abrasive or corrosive substances, etc. in all pumping applications. The warranty
set out in the paragraph above is in lieu of all other warranties expressed or
1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your distributor before using. DO NOT remove the test plugs in the cover nor the motor
housing.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.
3. National Electrical Code (NEC) articles 500 through 503 explain in detail the requirements for the installation and wiring of electrical equipment in hazardous locations.
1. Not for use in acidic atmospheres.
2. Do not lift, carry, or hang pump by the electrical cables. Damage to the
electrical cables can cause shock, burns or death.
3. For non-automatic Class II, Division I (alternate Zone 20 designation) rated
models, the float switch "off" level must be set a minimum of 10 inches for
the X6160-X6190, X6280, X6290 series and 13 inches for the X6400 series.
4. Make sure there is a properly grounded connection available. All pumps are
furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help protect you against
the possibility of electrical shock.
5. Make certain that the control box is within the reach of the pump's power
supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too
long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. But, more
important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become
damaged or the connection end were to fall into the sump.
6. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses and disconnect
or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended,
sized according to the "National Electrical Code" for the current shown on
the pump nameplate.
7. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated for use in
swimming pool areas.
8. Prop65 Warning for California residents: Cancer and Reproductive Harm –

9. Electrical wiring and protection must be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code per NEC articles 500 through 503 for installation in Class I,
Division 1, Group C & D, Class I, Zone 1, Groups IIA & IIB locations, and Class
II, Division II, Group E, F, G and Zone 20 and any other applicable state and local
electrical requirements.
10. Use pressure-rated pipe and fittings when connecting to the disharge of
the pump.

In instances where property damages are incurred as a result of an alleged product failure, the property
owner must retain possession of the product for investigation purpose.

Some states do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so
the above limitation may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
CAUTION
1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage
requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump nameplate.
2. The float switches must be connected to an intrinsically safe circuit in the
control panel. The installation of float switches is the responsibility of the
installing party and care should be taken that the tethered float switch will
not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured so
that the pump will shut off. It is recommended that rigid piping and fittings
be used and the pit be 36" (91 cm) or larger in diameter.
3. INFORMATION - VENT HOLE PURPOSE.
pumps capable of handling various sizes of solid waste be of the bottom
intake design to reduce clogging and seal failures. If a check valve is
incorporated in the installation, a vent hole (approx. 3/16" [4 mm]) must be
drilled in the discharge pipe below the check valve and pit cover to purge the
unit of trapped air. Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump
run periods. This vent hole should be checked periodically for clogging and
cleaned as necessary. Trapped air is caused by agitation and/or a dry basin.
4. Water hammer creates momentary high pressure surges. These surges can
cause severe damage to check valves and the piping system. Consideration
for water hammer must be included in the piping system design. Reference
ASPE Data Book, Chapter 2.33. Some systems may require external spring
or lever weighted check valves or other engineered solutions.
5. Three phase pumps must be connected for proper rotation, which is
counterclockwise looking into impeller inlet.
6. Care should be taken during the initial installation to be sure that adequate
air supply is available whenever any person is in the basin. Always follow
OSHA guidelines on confined space requirements.
