APPLICATION
Compact submersible drainage pumps from Tsurumi are used where large
quantities of clear, rain or dirty water must be pumped quickly and reliably.
Permanent installations of pumps include basement sumps for water
removal. They are suitable for pumping washing effluent, for the drainage
of buildings and for pumping rainwater out of lower level rooms or
underpasses.
They are used as portable pumps to fill or empty containers of every type,
for use in drainage pits, to maintain dry conditions in ditches and to pump
out flooded cellars.
HANDLING
The pump is easy to transport and should be carried by the carrying
handle. It should never be suspended or raised by means of the power
cable.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
The pumps are supplied ready for operation.
WARNING: Pumps must be installed in accordance with governing
national and local electrical codes.
FOR AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Install discharge hose or pipe to pump discharge. Position the pump in the
sump, switch to the automatic position by pushing the switch down. The
float switch will now start the pump when the water level reaches about 6",
pump shuts off at about 2". Be sure to test automatic operation after
installing to make sure the pump is operating properly.
FOR MANUAL OPERATION
Install discharge hose or pipe to pump discharge, place the pump in the
water to be pumped, switch to the manual "HAND" position by pushing the
switch up. Switch the pump off when the water reaches approximately 2",
by pushing the switch down into the automatic position or by unplugging
the power cord.
NOTE: In portable applications, when a sump is pumped down below 1" of
water, the pump requires approximately 30 seconds to purge air from the
discharge when restarting.

MAINTENANCE
The pump has permanently lubricated bearings and an overload protection
device to ensure maximum pump serviceability. Regular inspection and
maintenance are, however, recommended in order to ensure long service life.
Always disconnect pump from electrical source before performing any type of
maintenance. The pump should be cleaned from time to time (depending on
degree of dirt present) and the inlet screen should be cleaned and rinsed in
clean water.
The volute\screen can be removed by turning it clockwise. Then the impeller
area may also be cleaned. (Due care should be taken not to dislodge the
motor).
(Please ensure O-Ring is in correct position when re-fitting
Volute/Screen.)
