1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a submersible cutter pump. The Wacker Neuson
Submersible Cutter Pump consists of an electric motor, an impeller with a
carbide tip and cutter plate, a stand, and a metal casing with ports for
water or sewage suction and discharge. During operation, the impeller
cuts solid material until it is small enough to pass through the discharge
port. Power is supplied to the pump through a corded plug or a hard-wired
connection, depending on the installation. The operator connects pipes to
the pump and routes them so that water or sewage is pumped from the
work area and discharged into an appropriate location.
This machine is intended to be used for residential, commercial, and
industrial pumping of waste water with variable solids inclusion. This
machine is designed and intended to operate efficiently up to the flow,
head, and suction lift limits stated within the product specifications.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use
described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could
permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or other
persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not covered
under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
• Pumping flammable, explosive, or corrosive fluids
• Pumping hot or volatile fluids that result in pump cavitation
• Operating the pump outside of product specifications due to incorrect
diameter pipes, incorrect length pipes, other inlet or outlet
restrictions, or excessive suction lift or head
• Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
• Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
• Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
• Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings
found on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual.
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest
global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate
hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator safety through
protective guards and labeling. However, some risks may remain even
after protective measures have been taken. They are called residual
risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
• Electric shock from improper electrical connections or high voltage
• Personal injury from improper lifting techniques
• Projectile hazard from discharge
