Simer Pumps 2310-04, 2355-04 Installation / Operation, Do not lift the pump by the power cord

Installation / Operation 3

8.Periodically inspect the pump and the system com- ponents. Keep free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.

9.Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.

10.Personal Safety:

a.Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.

b.Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted – replace all unused tools and equipment.

c.Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.

d.Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, mas- ter switches, and by removing starter keys.

11.When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all of the electrical and safety codes that apply.

12.This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conduc- tor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, pull the plug before servicing. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas. The pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding- type receptacle.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance with the codes and ordinances that apply.

Do not walk on wet area until all power has been turned off. If the shut-off box is in the basement, call the electric company or hydro authority to shutoff the service to house, or call your local fire depart- ment for instructions. Failure to follow this warning can result in a fatal electrical shock.

Do not lift the pump by the power cord.

13.All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

14.Make certain the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.

15.Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot sur- faces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.

16.Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can operate at high temperatures.

17.Do not handle the pump or the pump motor, or change fuses with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.

INSTALLATION

1.Set the pump on a hard surface in at least 2 inches of water.

2.Connect the discharge line with the fittings provided.

3.The pump should not be installed on clay, dirt, mud or sand surfaces. Although the pump will usually pass small particles suspended in water, clean the area to be pumped of small stones and gravel which could clog the pump.

*NOTICE: Grass, mud, sand or pea gravel can clog the pump and reduce it’s performance. Keep the pump inlet screen clean.

4.To reduce motor noise and vibrations when using rigid pipe, a short length of rubber hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into the discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.

5.Power Supply: These pumps are designed for 115 V., 60 Hz., operation and requires a minimum 15 amp individual branch circuit. Pump is supplied with a

3-wire cord with grounding-type plug.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause death. Pump should always be electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off round ground pin.

6.If the pump discharge line is exposed to an outside sub-freezing atmosphere, the portion of line exposed must be installed so any water remaining in the pipe will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this can cause the water trapped in the discharge to freeze which could result in damage to the pump.

7.Check the system operation by observing the pump operation through one complete cycle.

Risk of flooding. Failure to make this operational check may lead to improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.

OPERATION

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or

cause death. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp sur- face, or in water.

Before attempting to check why a unit has stopped oper- ating, disconnect power from the unit.

1.The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication and cooling. Do not operate the pump unless it is sub- merged in water as seal may be damaged if allowed to run dry.
