CAUTION: Do not use at greater than the water pressure shown,which can damage the pump resulting in electrical leakage andelectrical shock.
Preparing for Installation

Before installing the pump at a work site, you will need to have thefollowing tools and instruments ready:

• Insulation resistance tester (megohmmeter)

• AC voltmeter

• AC ammeter (clamp-on type)

• Bolt and nut tighteners

• Power supply connection tools (screwdriver or box wrench)

Note: Please also read the instructions that come with each of the testinstruments.

Checks to Make Before Installation

With the megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance betweeneach of the power wires and grounding wire to verify the insulationresistance of the motor.

Reference insulation resistance: 20MW or greater

Note: The reference insulation resistance (20MW or greater) is thevalue when the pump is new or has been repaired. For the referencevalue after installation, see Maintenance and Inspection.

Precautions in Installation

When installing the pump, pay close attention to its center of gravityand weight. If it is not lowered into place correctly, it may fall and bedamaged or cause injury.

When transporting the pump by hand, be sure to employ manpowercommensurate with the weight of the pump. To avoid back injury whenlifting the pump, bend the knees to pick it up rather than bending yourback only.

Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump bysuspending it from the cable assembly. The cable may be damaged,causing electrical leakage, shock, or fire.

WARNING

CAUTION

wc_tx000115gb.fm 10

4.3.1 The pump is supplied with a threaded discharge fitting. Tighten hose
coupling or discharge pipe securely and with proper gaskets.

4.3.2 Avoid dropping the pump or other strong impact. Lift the pump byholding it firmly with the hands or by attaching a rope or chain to thelifting handle.

Note: On cable assembly handling, see Electrical Wiring.

4.3.3 Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where watercollects readily.

Note: See Operation (“Operating Water Level”) for the water levelnecessary for operation. The discharge end of the hose should belocated higher than the water surface. If the end of the hose issubmerged, water may flow back to the pump when the pump isstopped; and if the hose end is lower than the water surface, water mayoverflow when the pump is turned off.

4.3.4 The hose should be run as straight as possible, since excessivebending will hinder the water flow, preventing sufficient lift, and caneven cause the hose to become clogged with earth. If the hose iscrimped near the pump, air can become trapped in the pump andcause idle running.

If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting fromfriction in the pump can lead to electrical leakage and shock.

CAUTION: When the pump is installed at a work site, make sure thehose is connected in such a way as to ensure proper drainage.Otherwise water may leak out and cause damage to surrounding wallsor flooring, or to equipment.

4.3.5 Use the pump in the upright position. To prevent the strainer frombecoming submerged in mud, causing it to suck in sand or debris,mount it on a block or other firm base.

4.3.6 If used in a permanent installation, where the pump is not readilyaccessible after installation, please contact Wacker for a duplicatenameplate to be installed at the wellhead or on the control box so thatit will be readily visible.

4.3.7 Do not operate the pump dry. Doing so will prevent the pump fromattaining its full potential and may also damage the pump and lead toa short and electrical shock.

CAUTION

CAUTION
