SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION

B-1) To the Purchaser:

Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest pumps on the market today. CP&S pumps are products engineered and manufactured of high quality components. Over one hundred years of pump building experience 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.

B-2) Receiving:

Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage has occurred, file a claim immediately with the company that delivered the pump. If the manual is removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.

B-3) Storage:

Short Term- CP&S Pumps are manufactured for efficient performance following short inoperative periods in storage. 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 self-contained pumping units are Listed for Class I, Groups C & D, Division 1 locations and are recommended for use in a sump, lift station or basin. This pump is designed for submerged continuous duty (15 minutes duty in air

at nameplate horsepower), pumping sewage, effluent, wastewater or other nonexplosive or noncorrosive liquids not above 104°F (40°C). Never install the pump in a trench, ditch or hole with a dirt bottom; the legs will sink into the dirt and the suction will become plugged.

C-1.1) Submergence:

It is recommended that the pump be operated in the submerged condition and the sump liquid level should never be less than dimension “A” in Figure 1. The time required to draw the well down from top of motor to the minimum submergence level should not be greater than 15 minutes. NOTE: Outer shaft seal must be in liquid when motor is operated, whether motor is submerged or in air.

C-2) Discharge:

Discharge piping should be as short as possible. Both a check valve and a shut-off valve are recommended for each pump being used. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. Excessive backflow can cause flooding and/or damage to the pump. The shut-off valve is used to stop system flow during pump or check valve servicing.

WARNING ! - These pumps are suitable for application in CLASS I, GROUPS C & D, HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS and require a non- sparking break away fitting. Failure to use the non-sparking BAF voids warranty.

Barnes Pumps, Inc. supplies a Non-Sparking break away fitting discharge system designed to allow the submersible wastewater pump to be installed or removed without requiring personnel to enter the wet well.

Place the Break Away Fitting (BAF) in position. Temporarily secure the guide rails in the upper mounting brackets and locate the base elbow on the bottom of the wet well. Level the base elbow with grout and/or shims. Install the intermediate support brackets, if required. Make sure the rails are in a true vertical position so the pump will clear the access opening and will slide freely down the rails into place on the discharge base elbow. once the rails are in proper alignment, bolt the base elbow into the floor of the station and connect the discharge pipe to the elbow. Connect the movable portion and other supplied fittings of the BAF onto the pump and lower into wet well. See the Break Away Fitting manual for more information.
