7. APPLICATION
2.1. Lorsque la pompe arrête subitement (par la fonction de protection du moteur) :
La fonction de protection du moteur est intégrée et est faite en sorte qu’elle arrête automatique-
ment le circuit, pour prévenir une surchauffe du moteur, lorsque celui-ci est surchargé due à une
obstruction de particules externes, ou lorsqu’il est branché dans la mauvaise source d’alimenta
tion (voltage, fréquence, etc.). La fonction de protection s’arrête toujours automatiquement en
quelques secondes, si une anomalie survient. Si la pompe arrête subitement, vérier les tuyaux,
la pompe, les connections du câble à la source d’alimentation, etc. Vous pouvez ensuite repartir
la pompe après avoir réglé le problème.
2.2. S’il vous plait, consulter votre vendeur local ou la compagnie où vous avez fait l’achat de votre
pompe si vous êtes incapable de résoudre le problème encourru. Il est déconseillé de faire as-
sembler ou désassembler la pompe par du personnel non-autorisé, car ceci pourrait entraîner
des conséquences néfastes pour la pompe ou le moteur.
VOUS N’ÊTES PAS OBLIGER D’ENTRETENIR DÉSOBLIGÉMENT LA POMPE APRÈS SES OPÉRATIONS, MAIS
TOUTEFOIS, VOUS DEVEZ PRENDRE CONSCIENCE DES POINTS SUIVANTS:
3.1. Si des températures très froides sont prévues, enlever la pompe et la mettre dans un endroit sec.
3.2. Si la pompe est laissée sans fonctionner durant une longue période de temps, la rouille et autres
particules pourraient s’accumuler dans la pompe, ce qui entraînera inévitablement une réduction
de la durée de vie de la pompe.
5. ENTRETIEN LORS DE L’OPÉRATION
6. ENTRETIEN APRÈS L’OPÉRATION
1.1. S’assurer d’avoir une bonne mise à terre, et installer le fusible à fuite pour prévenir les
utilisateurs de se faire électrocuter.
1.2. S’assurer que le voltage de la source d’alimentation est identique à celui de l’étiquette de la
pompe. Ne pas brancher à un voltage et/ou phase différent celle de l’étiquette.
1.3. Ne pas utiliser à l’air libre sans eau, cela pourrait endommager la pompe.
1.4. Ne pas utiliser le câble électrique pour transporter, lever ou abaisser la pompe.
Utiliser plutôt la poignée destinée à cet effet.
1.5. Extension du câble d’alimentation:
Lorsque le câble d’alimentation doit être allongé par un câble d’extension, choisir la bonne grandeur de
câble selon la longueur à couvrir. Si le câble est trop long, une baisse de voltage surviendra, ce qui fera
en sorte que le moteur cessera de tourner, ce qui endommagera la pompe.
NE PAS UTILISER LA POMPE DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT EXPLOSIF ET/OU TOUT AUTRE EN-
DROIT OÙ IL POURRAIT Y AVOIR DES GENS, DES ACCIDENTS GRAVES POURRAIENT SURVENIR.

I.O.M - SUBMERSIBLES - CMLU
1. Before installation:
a.) Use a megger to measure the insulation resistance between the ground wire and each phase of
the motor.
Keep the ground wire off the ground during measurement The value of each reading should be
more than 20 meg-ohms.
2. Installation:
a) Using a chain or lifting cable assembly, lower the pump into the tank or wet well.
DO NOT USE THE POWER & SENSOR CABLE TO LIFT PUMP
b) Do not install the pump horizontally. Ensure that the pump is upright and on a secure base.
Installation of pump with Quick Discharge Connector (QDC) shall be in accordance with manual entitled
«Quick Discharge Connector.»
c) Install pump in a location within the tank that has the least amount of turbulence.
d) Support the discharge piping to prevent vibration.
e) Install proper ventilation so that air will not become stagnant.
f) Do not permit the end of the discharge piping to become submerged, as it will result in backow when the
pump stops.
g) Set control operating levels (i.e. oats) so that pump is not running for more than ten minutes with water
level at minimum operating level as indicated in below chart. Continuous operation of pump at minimum
water level will result in automatic cut-off switch in motor to be activated.
3. Electrical Wiring:
Note: All electrical wiring should be performed by a qualied electrician, and in accordance with all na-
tional and local electrical codes. Incorrect wiring can result in serious injury.
a) Wiring should be performed as indicated in Figure 3.
b) Do not allow the end of the cables to become immersed in water.
c) Make sure pump is properly grounded using the green ground wire in the power cable. Do not connect the
green wire to the power supply.

2. Installation (continued)
d.) Motor protection:
• For 3HP motors, a built-in auto-cut is used and will be activated when motor becomes overheated due to
abnormal conditions such as locked rotor or single phasing. There is no external wiring for this feature.
• For 5HP to 30HP motors, a normally closed built-in thermal protector is used. When motor winding
becomes over-heated, the circuit is opened, shutting the motor down and allowing it to cool. An external
sensor cable is provided for this feature and must be connected to a thermal relay in the control panel.
Failure to do so will void the warranty. Specications for the thermal protector are listed below:
Contact rating: AC 230V, 13A (Max)
Contact type: Break contact (normally closed)
Operation
1. After completing installation, measure the insulation resistance again, using the procedure described in the
«Installation» section.
2. Check to make sure there is an adequate amount of water in the wet well. Continuous operation of the
pump in a dry condition will cause the motor protector to be activated.
3. Check the direction of rotation by turning on pump. If the discharge volume is low or unusual sounds are
heard, it is likely that rotation has been reversed. If this happens, reverse two of the three power cable
wires. (see Figure 4)
4. After conrming that the direction of rotation is correct, gradually open the discharge valve and allow the
pump to run in continuous operation. Check the voltage, current and discharge pressure to make sure they
are within allowable limits.
5. If voltage, current and discharge pressure are acceptable, you may continue to operate the pump on a
continuous basis. Please refer to «Troubleshooting» section of the manual or contact your local EBARA
distributor if one of these items is outside of allowable limits.
6. Do not allow the motor to start more than 20 times per hour.

Note: Disassembly and repair of the pump should only be performed by factory trained service centers.
Errors made by unqualied personnel can result in improper assembly and operation, therefore resulting
in possible injury.
WARNING
Always turn the power OFF before inspecting and repair the pump. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury.
1. Recommended daily inspections:
a) Check the motor current and its uctuation. If there is a great deal of uctuation, something may be
clogging the pump.
b) Check to make sure the pump is providing the correct amount of ow. If the discharge decreases
dramatically, something may be clogging the pump.
2. Recommended monthly inspections:
a) Measure the insulation resistance. The value should be more than 1 meg-ohm. If the resistance falls rapidly
even with an initial reading of more than 1 meg-ohm, further inspection and possible repair may be
required.
3. Recommended annual inspections:
a) Check the oil in the seal chamber. If the oil has turned white it is an indication that water has mixed with
the oil and the mechanical seal needs to be replaced. The service life of the mechanical seal can be
prolonged by replacing the oil in the seal chamber on an annual basis. See the recommended amount of oil
below in Figure 5. Replace the oil by laying the pump on its side as illustrated in Figure 6.
MAINTENANCE
Figure 5
Figure 6
4. Extended storage:
a) Keep pump in a dry environment, out of direct sunlight.
b) Every 30 days, check the insulation resistance and rotate the impeller by hand to prevent rotating parts
from seizing together.

1. Disassembly:
a) Unscrew and remove the bolts (120-2), and lift the motor out of the pump casing. Lay it down on its side
carefully.
b) Unscrew and remove the impeller bolt (275), then pull the impeller (021) off the motor shaft.
c) Unscrew and remove the oil plug (193) and drain oil from seal chamber.
d) Unscrew and remove the bolts (120-1 ), and remove the mechanical seal cover (016) carefully. Take care
as there may be oil remaining in the seal chamber.
d) Remove the mechanical seal carefully to keep from damaging the seal faces.
2. Reassembly:
a.) Perform the above instructions in reverse order, replacing the o-ring, seal washer and gasket.
Note 1: After reassembly to the point of installing impeller on the shaft, turn the impeller by hand to make sure
that it rotates smoothly.
Note 2: It is recommended to use a screw adhesive (LOCKTITE 271) on the impeller bolt (275) during reassembly.
Note 3: After installing casing back onto pump, turn the impeller by hand through the pump suction to make sure
that it rotates smoothly without rubbing against the wear ring.
