4INSTALLATION
Precautions in installation
WARNING
• When installing the pump, pay close attention to its center of gravity and
weight. If it is not lowered into place correctly, it may fall and be damaged
or cause injury.
• When transporting the pump by hand, be sure to employ manpower
commensurate with the weight of the pump. To avoid back injury when
lifting the pump, bend the knees to pick it up rather than bending your back
only.
CAUTION
Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump by suspending
it from the cabtyre cable. The cable may be damaged, causing electrical
leakage, shock, or fire.
Checks to make before installation
Use the megohmmeter to measure the motor insulation resistance between the cabtyre
cable plug tips and ground lead (Green or Green/Yellow).
Note:
The reference insulation resistance (20MΩ or greater) is the value when the pump is
new or has been repaired. For the reference value after installation, see below at section
"7.Maintenance and Inspection".
Preparing for installation
Before installing the pump at a work site, you will need to have the following tools and
instruments ready:
• Insulation resistance tester
• AC voltmeter
• AC ammeter (clamp-on type)
• Bolt and nut tighteners
• Power supply connection tools (screwdriver or box wrench)
Note:
Please read also the instructions that come with each of the test instruments.
Maximum allowable water pressure
CAUTION
Do not use at greater than the water pressure shown below, which can
damage the pump resulting in electrical leakage and electrical shock.

Hose Coupling
(1) Attach the hose to the hose coupling as far as it will
go, then fasten it securely with the hose band.

-7-
(3) Install the pump in a location with sufficient
water level, where water collects readily.
Note:
The "Operating water level" chart below
shows the water level necessary for operation.
The tip of the hose (discharge end) should be
located higher than the water surface. If the
end of the hose is submerged, water may flow
back to the pump when the pump is stopped;
and if the hose end is lower than the water
surface, water may overflow when the pump
is turned off.
Pump stopped
Backflow Outflow
(5) Use the pump in the upright position. To prevent the pump
from becoming submerged in mud, mount it on a block or
other firm base if necessary.
(4) The hose should be run as straight as possible, since
excessive bending will hinder the water flow, preventing
sufficient lift, and can even cause the hose to become
clogged with earth. If the hose is crimped near the pump, air
can become trapped in the pump and cause idle running.
CAUTION
• If large quantities of earth are sucked up,
damage resulting from friction in the pump
can lead to electrical leakage and shock.
• When the pump is installed at a work site,
make sure the hose is connected in such a
way as to ensure proper drainage. Otherwise
water may leak out and cause damage to
surrouding walls or flooring, or to equipment.
(2) Avoid dropping the pump or other strong impact. Lift the pump
by holding it firmly with the hands or by attaching a rope or
chain to the handle.
Note:
On Cabtyre cable handling, see below Electrical Wiring.
Rope

-8-
Connecting the cabtyre cable
WARNING
Before connecting leads to the terminals, make certain the power supply
is turned off (circuit breaker, etc.), to avoid electrical shock, shorting, or
unexpected starting of the pump, leading to injury.
CAUTION
Do not use the pump if the cabtyre cable is worn or damaged, which can
result in electric shock, shorting, or fire.
Connect the leads of cabtyre cable to the control panel terminals as shown in the diagram,
being careful not to let the leads become twisted together.
Cabtyre cable
CAUTION
• If it is necessary to extend the cabtyre cable, use a core size equal to
or larger than the original. This is necessary not only for avoiding a
performance drop, but to prevent cable overheating which can result in fire,
electrical leakage or electrical shock.
•
If a cable with cut insulation or other damage is submerged in the water,
there is a danger of water seeping into the motor causing a short. This may
result in damage to the pump, electrical leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
• Be careful not to let the cabtyre cable be cut or become twisted. This may
result in damage to the pump, electrical leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
• If it is necessary to submerse the connection leads of the cabtyre cable
in water, first seal the leads completely in a molded protective sleeve, to
prevent electrical leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
Do not allow the cabtyre cable leads to become wet.
Make sure the cable does not become excessively bent or twisted, and does not rub against
a structure in a way that might damage it.
Grounding
WARNING
Do not use the pump without first grounding it properly. Failure to ground it
can lead to electrical shock from an electrical leak or pump malfunction.
CAUTION
Do not attach the grounding wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightening arrestor
or telephone grounding wire. Improper grounding can result in electrical
shock.

Oil inspection and Oil change
Note:
Worn oil and other waste products should be
disposed of by a qualified agent, in accord with
applicable laws. The oil plug packing should be
replaced each time the oil is inspected or changed.
Inspecting oil
Remove the oil plug (hex. bolt) and tilt the
pump to drain a small amount of oil. If the
oil is milky white or has water mixed in with
it, the mechanical seal may be faulty. In this
case the pump will need to be disassembled
and repaired.
Replacing oil
Remove the oil plug and drain all the oil,
then replace it with the specified amount.

Note:
Remove the oil prior to disassembly.
(1) Removing the Strainer Stand, Fixing Plate and Pump Casing
Remove the Strainer Stand Hex. Bolts and Plain Washers, then remove the Strainer
Stand, Fixing Plate and Pump Casing from the pump.
(2) Removing the Impeller
With a socket wrench or other tool, loosen the Impeller Nut and Hex. Nuts, remove
the Plain Washer and key, then remove the Impeller, Shaft Sleeve and V-Ring from the
Shaft.
(3) Removing the Rear Liner
Remove the Rear Liner from the Oil Casing.
WARNING
A worn Impeller may have sharp edges that can cause injury, and should be
handled with care.
WARNING
• Before disassembling the pump, first detach the Cabtyre Cable from the receptacle, after
making certain the power supply (circuit breaker, etc.) is turned off. To avoid electrical
shock, do not work with wet hands. Never check the operation of any parts (impeller rotation,
etc.) by turning on the power while the unit is partially assembled. Failure to observe these
precautions may result in serious accident.
• Do not disassemble or repair any parts other than those designated here. If repairs are
necessary in any other than the designated parts, consult with your nearest dealer or Tsurumi
representative. Improper repairs can result in electrical leakage, electrical shock, fire, or water
leaks.
• After reassembly, always perform a test operation before resuming use of the pump. Improper
assembly will cause the pump to malfunction, resulting in electrical shock or water leaks.
The procedure for disassembly and reassembly is shown here to the extent necessary
for impeller replacement. A specialized environment and facilities are necessary for
work in the mechanical seal and motor parts. Contact your nearest dealer or Tsurumi
representative in the event such repairs are necessary.
