Zoeller LM44 User manual

1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the
voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump
name plate.
2. These pumps are not designed or intended to be used to handle
sewage or effluent.
3. This pump has been evaluated for use with WATER only.
4. Maximum continuous operating water temperature for standard
model pumps must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
5. These pumps are not designed or intended to be used as a
primary or backup sump pump.
Note: Pumps with the "CSA" mark are tested to CSA Standard
C22.2 No. 108.
REFER TO WARRANTY ON PAGE 2.
PERFORMANCE
Your pump is designed to effectively pump all clear storm and drain
waters. Although it will usually pass small particles suspended in
water; grass, heavy mud, sand or pea gravel can clog the pump
and reduce pump performance. This can usually be cleaned out by
backflushing with a garden hose through the discharge. The normal
performance that can be expected is as follows:

1/4 1800 1320 720 20 Ft.
DO NOT USE FOR PUMPING OILS, GASOLINE OR ANY PETROLEUM BY-PRODUCTS.
Notice to Installer: Instructions must remain with installation.
PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before
using. DO NOT remove the test plug in the cover.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials
should be retained for future reference.
1. Make sure there is a properly installed ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected circuit available. All pumps are furnished
with provisions for proper grounding to help protect you against
the possibility of electrical shock.
2. Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the reach
of the pump’s power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not
deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. But, more important,
they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to be-
come damaged or the connection ends were to fall into water.
3. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with
fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch
circuit is recommended, sized according the National Electrical
Code for the current shown on the pump name plate.
4. TESTING FOR GROUND. As a safety measure, each electrical
outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters
Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power,
neutral and ground wires are cor
rectly connected to your outlet. If
they are not, call a qualified licensed electrician.
5. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware
should only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
6. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP
FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.
7. These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help
protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND
PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted in a mating 3-prong
fault interrupter receptacle. If the installation does not have such
a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired, and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances.
8. Risk of electric shock. This pump has not been tested for use in
swimming pool or marine areas.
9. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product con-
tains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

NOTE: Ratings based on 1-1/4" pipe with friction loss neglected. Us-
ing 3/4" garden hose adapter, performance will be reduced approxi-
mately 15%. This pump does not deliver enough pressure to operate
lawn sprinklers properly.
OPERATION
1. Set pump on hard surface in water before starting.
2. Use the included garden hose adapater for 3/4" discharge line or
disconnect the adapter to use a 1-1/4" discharge.
3. Plug power cord into properly grounded 115 volt AC power outlet.
(See recommended grounding methods on front page). Will oper-
ate continuously whether partly or fully submerged. Submersible
utility pumps are intended to pump water at temperatures up to
104˚F (40˚C).
4. When the pump senses that it is no longer pumping water, the
pump will shut off automatically. The pump will then turn on every
three minutes for 5 seconds and then off if it does not sense any
water.
5. If water is sensed after the pump begins running, the pump will
continue pumping until the pump senses that it is no longer
pumping water.
6. To prevent unnecessary wear, unplug the pump from the power
output when not in use.
7. The pump is supplied with a 3/4" garden hose adapter. For use
with plastic pipe, remove the adapter and install the desired
1-1/4" NPT fitting. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE HOSE OR
PLASTIC ADAPTER FITTING. Finger tight plus 1/2 turn is
sufficient.
Do not set pump directly on sand, dirt or mud. Sand or mud-choked pumps can be back-
flushed clean.
Do not handle or carry the pump by the power cord. Use the handle.
Extended usage of the pump in a partially submerged or non-submerged situation may
cause the pump to overheat due to lack of heat dissipation from the
water. If this occurs, the pump will shut itself off until the motor cools
to its normal temperature. Repeated overheating may cause dam-
age to the pump.
MAINTENANCE
1. The motor housing of the pump is completely sealed and requires
no service. Disassembly of the motor housing or alteration of the
power cord voids all warranty.
2. The motor is a continuous duty type with an automatic thermal
overload protector device.
3. The pump can run against a partially restricted discharge, but
is designed to move large volumes of water with minimal back
pressure.
4. If the pump becomes clogged, remove the screen and clean out
the area.
5. Debris in the intake should be routinely removed from the bottom
of the pump to prevent damage to the pump, which will void the
warranty.
6. If necessary, remove the eight (8) screws holding the volute base
to the motor housing and clean the volute.
