PUMP INSTALLATION
J-F & JX-F Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based
solutions. Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Lifting:
Attach a rope or lifting chain (not included) to the handle (or lifting rings) on the top of
the pump.
Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/piping.
Proper lifting equipment (rope/chain) must be used.
POSITIONING THE PUMP
BJM Pumps, J-F & JX-F Series pumps are designed to operate fully submerged. Data
sheets can be obtained online at HHUUwww.bjmpumps.comUUHH or by calling BJM Pumps, LLC at
860-399-5937.
Do not run pump dry.
Pump liquid should not exceed a maximum temperature of 200°F (93°C).
Never place the pump on loose or soft ground. The pump may sink, preventing
water from reaching the impeller. Place on a solid surface or suspend the pump
with a lifting rope/chain. The J-F & JX-F Series pumps are provided with a
suction strainer to prevent large solids from clogging the impeller. Any spherical
solids which pass through the strainer should pass through the pump.
For maximum pumping capacity, use the proper size non-collapsible hose or rigid
piping. A check valve may be installed after the discharge to prevent back flow
when the pump is shut off.

9
PUMP ROTATION
Two ways to check the correct pump rotation:
1. By looking at the impeller; the rotation of the impeller should be counter
clockwise as shown in the picture below.
2. By looking from the top of the pump. Since the impeller cannot be seen, the best
way to check the rotation is to check the kick back motion of the pump when the
pump just starts. The kick back motion of the pump should be counter clockwise
as shown in the picture below.

10
PUMP OPERATION
This pump is designed to handle dirty water that contains some
solids. It is not designed to pump volatile or flammable liquids. Do not attempt to pump
any liquids which may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump
failure. Do not operate this pump where explosive vapors or
flammable material exist. Death or Serious injury will result.
TYPICAL MANUAL WATER/WASTEWATER EFFLUENT INSTALLATION
NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
All J-F & JX-F models are provided with a 33” (10m) power cord. NEVERUU splice the
power cable due to safety and warranty considerations. Always keep the lead end dry.
Note: 208V, 230V, 460V & 575V three phase units do not have a plug and have to be
provided separately.
Do not alter the length or repair any power cable with a splice. The
pump motor and cable must be completely waterproof. Damage to the pump or
personal injury may result from alterations.
For manual operation: 208, 230, 460 & 575 volt: Connect directly to the power source or
control box. Check the direction of the rotation. Tilt the pump and start it. It should twist
in the opposite direction of the arrow (on pump).

11
TYPICAL AUTOMATIC WATER/WASTEWATER EFFLUENT INSTALLATION
NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
Three phase pumps need a separate control box with float(s) for automatic
operation.
STOPPING
To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode), unplug it from the power source, turn
off the breaker, or turn the power source off (generator).

12

COURANT Á PLEINE CHARGE DU MOTEUR.”
BJM Pumps submersible pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water
based solutions. Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP
FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.
“Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord and
strain relief or connect conduit directly to the pump.
Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should
be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
THREE PHASE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP
FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.
“Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord and
strain relief.
Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should
be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

13
Typical 3 Phase Auto Control 1
To automatically operate a non-automatic three phase pump, a control panel is
required. UUFollow the instructions provided with the panel to wire the system.UU For
automatic three phase pumps see automatic three phase wiring diagram.
Before installing a pump, make sure both of the ground leads and the power leads have
been connected properly. Once the power connections have been confirmed, then
check the pump rotation. Momentarily energize the pump, observing the directions of
kick back due to starting torque. Momentarily energize the pump, observing the
directions of kick back due to starting torque. Rotation is correct if kick back is in the
opposite direction of rotation arrow on the pump casing. If rotation is not correct,
switching of any two power leads other than ground will provide the proper rotation.
Three phase pumps do NOT have integral motor overload protection. Pumps must be
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes
and ordinances. Pumps are not to be installed in locations classified as hazardous in
accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Connect pump to a junction box, outlet box, control box, enclosure with a wiring
compartment that meets NEC and local codes. The provision for supply connection
shall reduce the risk of water entry during temporary, limited submersion and shall
comply with the applicable requirements of the Standard for Enclosures for Electrical
Equipment, UL 50, or the standard for Metallic Outlet Boxes, UL 514A, and the standard
for Motor-Operated Water Pumps. UL 778.
