SAFETY INSTRUCTION
BEFORE YOU START
PUMP IDENTIFICATION
All electrical work must be performed by an authorized electrician, in compliance with
local electrical codes. NEVER, allow an unauthorized person to perform electrical work
as it could lead to electrical shock, fire, or damaging the pump.
Risk of Electrical Shock. The pump comes supplied with a grounding conductor and a
grounding type attachment plug. NEVER, operate a pump with a plug in type power
cord without a ground fault circuit interrupter. Keep power end connection dry.
Upon receiving the pump, inspect for damages or shortages.
NEVER, use the power cord to lift or lower the pump. ALWAYS, tie a chain or rope to
the handle of the pump to lift and lower the pump.
NEVER, splice or use damaged or worn cables and cords.
ALWAYS, disconnect the electrical power before servicing the pump.
DO NOT, pump liquids which are flammable.
DO NOT, operate pump in a hazardous environment.
Risk of Electric Shock, this pump has not been investigated for use in a swimming pool
application.
When installing the pump, be mindful of the pump's center of gravity and weight.
Failure to do so, may result in the pump to fall and break which may lead to injury.
This pump is NOT designed for applications involving Acid, or Alkaline.
NEVER, operate the pump dry. Doing do so will damage the seals and overheat the
motor.
Periodically, check the oil level and water in the seal chamber. Check the seal condition
quarterly for heavy duty applications or annually otherwise.
This manual does not fully cover all safety issues. For this reason, the person using or
maintaining the pump must pay special attention to their own safety as well as those
around.
NEVER, pump water with a temperature greater than 30°C.
Check the name plate of the pump to ensure product is of the correct specification you
ordered. Ensure that the voltage and frequency are correct.
Please check the nameplate on the received pump against your ordered pump.
Paying special attention to the Model, Output(Hp), Voltage and Frequency.

Electrical
The electrical voltage required to operate this pump can burn, shock, or even cause
death. Before, installing, operating or servicing this pump, please thoroughly read
through this manual.
DO NOT operate this pump anywhere near explosive or flammable material.
Serious personal injury, death, or major property damage will result.
Accidental starting of the pump can cause severe injury or death.
DO NOT, splice the power cord.
It is absolutely essential that the rotation of the pump be checked. All the pumps
covered in this manual turn clockwise as viewed from the motor end.
If the motor protector trips frequently, check for the cause. It could be due to impeller
blockage, wrong/low voltage, etc…
For Automatic operation, the pump must stop before the water level reaches Pump
Minimum Water Level.(W.M.L.)
This pump comes with a built in motor protector. In the event of a current overload
or overheating, the pump will stop automatically to protect the motor. After the motor
cools down, the motor protector will automatically reset and the pump can be used
again.
DO NOT, handle or service the pump while it is connected to the power supply.
ALWAYS, ensure that the voltage and frequency supplied to the pump are correct.
Refer to the nameplate to determine the correct voltage and frequency.
ALWAYS, make sure the pump is grounded properly in accordance to local law.
DO NOT, connect the ground wire to gas pipe, water pipe, etc… as improper
grounding will result in electrical shock.
PUMP OPERATION
DANGER
INSTALLATION
ALWAYS, place the pump in an upright position. Ensure, that the pump will not burrow
itself on the soft sand or mud.
All piping must be independently supported, properly aligned and capable of handling
semi-solids.
DO NOT, restrict the discharge flow of the pump as it will cause the pump to overheat.
Be mindful of the discharge hose whipping under pressure.
To avoid backflow or outflow of the pump. Backflow, discharge hose is above the water
surface. Outflow, the discharge hose is above the source water surface.
NEVER, allow the pump to freeze in the liquid it is pumping.
The Guide Rail System, is to be installed on a hard level surface such as cement,
asphalt, etc… Do not, place the pump directly on soft sand or mud.

1.Ensure the Voltage and Amperage conform to the nameplate.
Maintenance is recommended when the insulation reading is lower
than 10MReplace new motor immediately when insulation is
lower than 1M .
Inspecting of Lubricant:
For pumps1hp, the item should be checked every 3000 hours
or 12 months (whichever comes first).
For pumps2hp, the item should be checked every 6000 hours
or 12 months (whichever comes first).
PS:Loosen the oil plug screw and check the color of the lubricant. If
the lubricant is non-translucent, please change the mechanical seal
and the lubricant immediately. Apply adhesive before resecuring
the oil plug screw to strengthen the screw against leakage.
1Replacing Lubricant:
For pumps1hp, the item should be replaced every 4500 hours
or 24 months (whichever comes first).
For pumps2hp, the item should be replaced every 9000 hours
