READ AND FOLLOW
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see
this symbol on your pump or in this manual, look
for one of the following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury:
warns about hazards that will cause
serious personal injury, death or major
property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can
cause serious personal injury, death or
major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can
cause minor personal injury or property
damage if ignored.
The label NOTICE indicates special instructions which
are important but not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in
this manual and on pump.
Keep safety labels in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
LOCATION:
Locate the pump as near to the water source as
practical. Make the suction pipe run short and straight
with as few pipe fittings as possible to keep total friction
loss to a minimum.
Install pump in a clean, dry and well drained location
if possible and protect against moisture and adverse
weather conditions. Pump should be located on a level,
hard surface to prevent shifting or tipping. Locate to be
readily accessible for inspection and maintenance.
Careful attention should be taken to assure that Net
Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) exceeds Net
Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR) by the pump
or reduced performance and severe pump damage may
result.
Figure 1, Page 3, illustrates where these terms (NPSHA
/ NPSHR) originate, and how to determine if the
pumping conditions at which you want to operate meet
the proper criteria. When in doubt, consult your nearest
Berkeley Professional Dealer.
NOTE: If pump site is 1000 feet above sea level,
sub-tract 1.2 feet from the NPSHA equation and an
additional 1.2 feet for each additional 1000 feet of
elevation.
General Safety
Do not allow pump, piping, or any other system
component containing water to freeze. Freezing may
damage system, leading to injury or flooding. Allowing
pump or system components to freeze will void
warranty.
Pump approved liquids only with this pump.
Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Wear safety glasses at all times when working on
pumps.
Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted;
store properly all unused tools and equipment.
Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.
WARNING
Rotating parts. Can catch
hands, feet, or clothing.
Stay clear of equipment and
keep shields in place while
pump is running.
Stop motor or engine before
servicing pump.
Read owner’s manual before
using equipment.
Electrical Safety
WARNING Wire motor for correct
voltage. See “Electrical”
section of this manual
and motor nameplate.
Ground motor before
connecting to power
supply.
Meet National Electrical
Code and local codes
for all wiring.
Follow wiring
instructions in
this manual when
connecting motor to
power lines.

General Information
Installation
FOUNDATION: Refer to illustration on Page 4.
Heavy weights; risk of bodily harm due
to crushing. Use care and proper lifting equipment
when handling pump for installation. Size and weight of
some units will require hoists for safe handling.
Pump should be set on a concrete foundation which is
sufficiently substantial to absorb vibration and which
provides a permanent and rigid support.
When properly positioned, the unit will be level, and
the suction and discharge openings of the pump will be
aligned with system piping.
PIPING:
System piping should be at least one commercial pipe
size larger than pump connections and flow velocity
should not exceed eight (8) feet per second. Suction
and discharge pipes must be naturally aligned with
pump connections.
NOTICE: Misalignment of piping with pump case or
excessive pipe strain can cause distortion of pump
components resulting in rubbing, breakage and reduced
pump life.
Insure that piping is supported in a manner that prevents
the exertion of force on pump connections. This can be
checked by the following procedure. With the pump shut
down, remove pipe flange bolts. If the mating flanges
come apart or shift, misalignment is present and causing
pressure on the connections. Adjust pipe supports until
flanges mate without any force. This procedure can be
done throughout piping system.
SUCTION PIPING:
Refer to illustrations on Page 8 through Page 11 for
recommended and not recommended practices in
suction connections.
DISCHARGE PIPING:
Refer to illustrations on Pages 12 through 13 for
recommended and not recommended practices in
discharge connections.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
If electric motor is used.
NOTE: All wiring should be done by a qualified
electrician.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. Disconnect power to pump
before servicing.
Check voltage and phase stamped on pump motor
nameplate before making wiring connections to
electrical system. Be sure they agree with your electric
current supply. They MUST be the same. If in doubt,
check with your local power company.
Refer to illustration on Page 7 for minimum recom-
mended pumping panel components that help
safeguard your pump during operation.

Proper belt tension varies with the size of belt being
used, however a general rule is:
Belts are properly tensioned when one belt can be
depressed one belt thickness at the center of the
span when pressing with thumb.
Another method is that a properly tensioned belt can
be rotated (twisted) one-quarter revolution at the
center of span.
NOTICE: Belts must be tight enough to prevent slip-
ping during operation. Loose belts result in early belt
failure and reduced performance. However, excessive
tightness of belts will result in overheating of the belts
and excessive bearing load in the pump and driver.

CHECK ROTATION:
Before pump is put into operation, rotational direction
must be checked to assure proper performance of
pump. Refer to illustration below to varify proper
rotational direction for each model covered in this
manual.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. Disconnect power to pump
before servicing.
Do not attempt any wiring changes without first
disconnecting power to pump.
PRIMING:
Pump priming is the displacement of air with water
in the pump and suction piping. Pump MUST BE
completely filled with water when operating.
A self-priming pump only needs to be manually
primed at the first start-up. Once primed, under normal
conditions pump will reprime automatically at each
subsequent start-up.
To prime, remove plug from top of pump case and fill
case with water. Replace plug and start pump. Unit
is equipped with a flapper type check valve which will
open at start-up and allow pump to evacuate air from
the suction line. After several minutes of operation,
pump will be fully primed and pumping water. Priming
time will vary, depending on length and diameter of
suction line.
STARTING (Electric Motor):
NOTICE: Never run pump dry. Running pump without
water will overheat pump and damage internal parts.
Always make sure pump is primed prior to start-up.
NOTICE: Refer to maintenance section if pump has
packing for adjustment prior to start-up.
Prime pump by the above method. Turn on power to
pump. Slowly open discharge valve until desired flow
rate is achieved. Place the “Hand-Off-Auto” selector
switch in the “Auto” position. The pump will start
automatically when the pilot device signals the motor
starter.
STOPPING (Electric Motor):
Pump will stop automatically when the pilot device
de-energizes the motor starter. Turn the “Hand-Off-
Auto” selector switch to “Off” position if you want to stop
the pump while it is running.

ELECTRIC MOTORS:
Single Phase: Refer to wiring information on the
motor plate to obtain proper rotation.
Three Phase: If pump runs backwards, reverse any
two leads coming of incoming power (L1, L2, L3) until
proper rotation is obtained. Reverse L1 and L2, L2
and L3, or L1 and L3.
Pump running backwards - Centrifugal pumps will
still pump liquids, however, GPM and head will be a
fraction of the published performance.
ENGINE DRIVEN:
If engine is used for pump driver, check with
engine instruction and operation manual or engine
manufacturer to determine how rotation is defined,
then use above illustration for proper connection.

PERFORMANCE CHECK:
Periodically check the output of the pump. If perform-
ance is noticeably reduced, refer to Troubleshooting
Chart.
OBSERVATIONAL MAINTENANCE:
When the pump and system operation have been
stabilized, verify that pump unit is operating properly.
Observe the following:
 All rotating machines can be expected to
produce some vibration, however, excessive vibration
can reduce the life of the unit. If the vibration seems
excessive, discontinue operation, determine cause of
the excessive vibration, and correct.
 When the unit is operating under load, listen
closely for unusual sounds that might indicate that the
unit is in distress. Determine the cause and correct.
 During operation, heat
is dissipated from the pump and the driver. After a
short period of time, the surface of the pump bracket
will be quite warm (as high as 150°F), which is normal.
If the surface temperature of the pump bracket or
driver is excessive, discontinue operation, determine
cause of the excessive temperature rise, and correct.
Bearings will run hotter for a brief run-in period after
packing which is normal. However, worn bearings
will cause excessive temperatures and need to be
replaced. The pump unit is cooled by the water flowing
through it, and will normally be at the temperature of
the water being pumped.
STUFFING BOX: After a short period of operation,
verify that the stuffing box area and gland are not
hot. If heating is detected, loosen the gland nuts
evenly until water is just running out of stuffing box
in a DROPLET form (approximately 40-60 drops per
minute). Water must not be streaming or spraying

nuts EVENLY as necessary for lubrication and cooling
of the packing. If packing has been tightened to the
limit of the packing gland travel, additional packing is
necessary.
PUMPS WITH PACKING: Starting new pump.
Before starting pump for the first time, loosen gland
nuts and retighten finger tight. Proceed with pump start-
up procedure. Allow packing to leak liberally for a few
moments. Then tighten gland nuts one complete turn
each until leakage is reduced to 40 to 60 drops per
minute.
REPACKING:
Refer to illustration on Page 16.
PUMPS WITH MECHANICAL SEAL:
Adjustment or maintenance is normally not required.
The seal is enclosed within the pump and is self
adjusting. Seal is cooled and lubricated by the liquid
being pumped. Consult factory for proper replacement
procedure.
SHAFT:
Bearing frame shaft assemblies should be periodically
torn down for inspection of worn parts, cleaning and
re-greasing. Most importantly, to check shaft sleeve
and bearings for pitting. Replace worn components as
necessary.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A well maintained pumping system will extend the life of
the unit and will require fewer repairs. This means less
down time which can be very critical when a constant
delivery of water is required.
A routine maintenance and inspection schedule should
be set up on a weekly, quarterly, and annual basis with
records kept of these actions. For weekly checks see
observational maintenance on Page 15. For quarterly
and annual maintenance, refer to check list on Page 22.
Copy page as necessary for continual usage.
RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS
It is recommended that the following spare parts be kept
on-site as a minimum back-up to service your pump and
reduce down-time. Check your model/style against parts
breakdown drawing on Pages 18 and 19 when selecting
spares.

for service. When effectively sheltered, a small amount
of heat will keep temperature above freezing. Provide
adequate ventilation for unit when running. For severe
weather problems, where other shelter is not practical, a
totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure can be considered
for electric motors.

water will condense on the metal surfaces and can
cause corrosion damage. In severe situations, a space
heater can be considered to warm the unit.
WINTERIZING
If pump is to be out of service for an extended period of
time, such as the winter months, the following storage
procedures should be followed.

CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
I. ELECTRICAL
A. No voltage in power system Check phase-to-phase on line side of starter contactor.
Check circuit breaker or fuses.
B. No voltage on one phase Check phase voltage on line side of starter contactor. Isolate open circuit
(Three Phase Units) (circuit breaker, fuse, broken connections, etc.)
C. Low voltage at motor Running voltage across each leg of motor must be ±10% of nominal
voltage shown on nameplate.
D. Motor leads improperly grouped Refer to lead grouping diagram on motor nameplate.
