SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before Getting Started

High voltages capable of causing severe

injury or death by electrical shock are

present in this unit.

• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power

before working on or around the system. More than

one disconnect switch may be required to de-ener-

gize the equipment before servicing.

• This product is supplied with a grounding conductor

and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk

of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only

to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.

Do not remove the third prong from the plug. The

third prong is to ground the pump to help prevent

possible electric shock hazard. Do not use an exten-

sion cord.

• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to

ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly

connected. If not, a qualified, licensed electrician

should correct the problem.

• Wire pump system for correct voltages.

• The pump has been evaluated for use with water

only. Pump should only be used with liquids compati-

ble with pump component materials. If the pump is

used with liquids incompatible with the pump com-

ponents, the liquid can cause failure to the electrical

insulation system resulting in electrical shock.

Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.

• Do not use this pump for pumping sea water, bever-

ages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid

that promotes corrosion as this can result in damage

to the pump.

• Do not run pump dry. For optimal cooling and to pro-

long the motor life, the liquid level being pumped

should normally be above the top of the pump hous-

ing.

• This pump is not suitable for pond applications.

Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,

or equipment damage.

• This equipment must not be used by children or per-

sons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abili-

ties, or lacking in experience and expertise, unless

supervised or instructed. Children may not use the

equipment, nor may they play with the unit or in the

immediate vicinity.

• Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug

the pump power cord and disconnect the electrical

power before servicing the pump or switch.

• An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to

flooding, resulting in personal injury or property

damage.

• In applications where property damage and/or per-

sonal injury might result from an inoperative or leak-

ing pump due to power outages, discharge line

blockage, or any other reason, an automatic back-up

system and/or an alarm should be installed.

• Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface tem-

perature of the pump will rise to a high temperature

that could cause skin burns if touched and will cause

serious damage to the pump.

• Do not oil the motor. The pump’s motor housing is

sealed, and contains a high-grade dielectric oil for

heat transfer and lifetime lubrication. Use of other

oils could cause serious electric shock and/or perma-

nent damage to the pump.

• Operation of this equipment requires detailed instal-

lation and operation instructions provided in this

manual for use with this product. Read entire manual

before starting installation and operation.

• End User should receive and retain manual for future

use.

INTRODUCTION

Product Description

INTRODUCTION

Product Description

This submersible pump is for use in basins or lift stations and is suitable for pumping clear water or

effluent gray water with up to 1/2" spherical semi-solids. Do not use the pump in applications

where sewage or any other debris (gravel, sand, floating debris, etc.), abrasives, or corrosives are

present.

This product has been carefully tested, inspected, and packaged to ensure safe delivery and opera-

tion. Please examine your item(s) carefully to ensure that no damage occurred during shipment. If

damage has oc

curr

ed, please contact the place of purchase. They will assist you in replacement or

repair, if required.

The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unex-

pectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading/overheating, which can be

caused b

y applica

tion issues such as an obstructed pump impeller, switch stuck in the ON position,

pump running dry, pump air-locked, pump short cycling, excessively high or low voltage supply, or

possibly a pump, motor, bearings or seal that have reached the end of their useful life.

INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

1. Pump must be installed in a suitable gas-tight basin that is at least 18" in diameter and 24"

deep and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.

2. Clean any debris from the basin and set the pump in the center of the basin (refer to

“Typical

Installation” on page 6). A solid bottom will prevent clogging of the pump from sand and dirt.

3. The pump must be placed on a hard, level surface. Never place the pump directly on clay, earth

or gra

vel surfaces. These surfaces contain small stones, gravel, sand etc. that may clog or dam-

age the pump and cause pump failure.

4. Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps. Restricting the intake may cause

damage t

o the seal and may starve the pump. If reduced flow rates are required, place a valve

on the discharge side of the pump. Or, if flexible vinyl tubing is used, a clamp can be used on

the tubing to restrict the flow.

5. Connect discharge piping. Use pipe joint compound at all connections. Sump pumps can be

piped t

o dischar

ge into the house drainage system, to a dry well, splash block, or to a storm

drain, depending on local plumbing codes. The discharge pipe should be as short as possible

and contain as few elbows as possible. The discharge pipe should be the same diameter as the

discharge size to reduce pipe friction losses. A smaller pipe will restrict capacity and reduce

pump performance. The pump comes with a 1-1/2" female pipe thread discharge.

• Support the pump and piping while assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may

cause the piping t

o break, the pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.

• Always install a union in the discharge line just above the basin cover to allow for easy

removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.

6. A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent backflow of liquid into the basin.

The check v

alv

e should be a free-flow valve that will easily pass solids.

Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.

• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.

• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in

accordance with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).

Risk of property damage due to flooding.

• Do not install the check valve in a vertical position, as solids may settle in the valve and pre-

vent the valve from opening on start-up. For best performance of the check valve when

handling solids, install it in a horizontal position or at an angle of no more than 45°.

• When a check valve is used, drill a relief hole (1/8" or 3/16" in diameter) in the discharge

pipe. This hole should be located below the floor line between the pump discharge and the

check valve. Unless such a relief hole is provided, the pump could “air lock” and will not

pump water even though it will run.

INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

7. Tape the pump and switch cords to the discharge line with electrical tape. This will protect the

cord from damage.

8. Test the operation of the pump system by following the instructions in

“Operation Testing” on

page 8 of this manual. Do not attempt to operate the pump without water; this will damage

the seals and bearings and could result in permanent damage to the pump.

9. Place cover over basin. This cover will help prevent debris from entering the pit and will guard

agains

t ac

cidental injury.

Typical Installation

INSTALLATION

Electrical Connections

Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than that

shown.

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required.

The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other outlets or equipment in

the cir

cuit line. The fuses and circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.

The 6EC-CIA-RF and 10EC-CIA-RF pumps have automatic switches with piggyback plugs on the

switch cords. For automatic operation, plug the pump cord into the float switch cord. Plug the float

switch cord (with pump cord attached) into the GFCI outlet.

Pump HP Voltage Breaker Amps

6EC 1/3 115 V 15 A

10EC 1/2 115 V 15 A

Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.

• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.

• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in

accordance with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).

• The flexible jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way,

with the exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the

pump and the control panel must be made within a junction box mounted outside of the

basin and comply with the National Electrical Code. Employ a licensed electrician.

• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.

• Do not remove the third prong from the plug, or cut plug from cord. These actions will void

the warranty.

• Do not use an extension cord.

OPERATION TESTING

Testing Automatic Pump Operation

OPERATION TESTING

If the pump does not operate properly, consult “Troubleshooting” on page 11. If the solution still

cannot be found, please contact the place of purchase or an authorized service center.

Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). It is designed to be cooled by pumping fluid. The seal

y be damaged and the motor ma

y fail if the pump is allowed to run dry.

If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning instructions outlined in the

xt section. Do not let the unit fr

eeze. This may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the

unit.

Testing Automatic Pump Operation

The 6EC-CIA-SFS and 10EC-CIA-SFS automatic pumps are equipped with an integral float-oper-

ated mechanical switch. Automatic operation is achieved through the pump cord.

The 6EC-CIA-RF and 10EC-CIA-RF pumps have automatic switches with piggyback plugs on the

witch c

ords. The pump must be plugged into piggyback switch cord for automatic operation.

When these pumps are installed in a basin with a sealed cover, switch operation cannot be

observ

ed. The basin co

ver will usually have a spare hole that is plugged with a rubber plug. This

plug can be removed and switch operation can be observed.

To test system operation, follow these steps:

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded receptacle with voltage consistent with the pump volt-

age, as indicated on the pump nameplate.

2. Be sure the gate valve in the discharge line is open.

3. Run water into the basin until the pump is activated.

Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the

pump

4. C

onfirm that the pump and its control switch are functioning as intended.

5. Confirm that the ON/OFF levels are within specification, and c

onfirm that no potential obstruc-

tions exist that could inhibit switch operation.

6. Confirm that there are no leaks in the pump discharge plumbing and main home drain pipe

plumbing.

Note: It is normal f

or a str

eam of water to spray from the air bleed hole in the pump’s plumbing.

(Water sprays out of a hole by a bolt on the base of the unit.) Confirm that this spray is captured

within the basin.

7. Allow the pump to operate through several on/off cycles.

Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.

• Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to

the pump.

• If pump is run dry, it may damage pump and will void the warranty.

OPERATION TESTING

Testing Manual Pump Operation

The 6EC-CIM and 10EC-CIM manual pumps do not include an automatic liquid level control. The

pump cord for these pumps can be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle with volt-

age consistent with the pump nameplate for continuous pump operation.

For automatic operation of a manual pump, a separate float switch or other liquid level control may

be used. If a floa

t swit

ch or level control has been added, refer to

“Testing Automatic Pump Opera-

tion” on page 8 for testing operation.

To test manual pump operation, follow these steps:

1. Connect a discharge hose to the pump’s discharge port.

2. Place pump into a basin or test reservoir.

3. Direct the opposite end of the discharge hose back into the basin or test reservoir so that the

er discharged from the hose during testing will be contained within the basin or test reser-

voir. Secure the hose to prevent the water pressure created during testing from causing the

hose t

o exit the basin or t

est reservoir.

4. If there is a valve on the discharge hose, be sure the valve is open.

5. Using a separate water source, fill the basin or test reservoir until the pump is fully submerged.

Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the

pump

Do not ov

erfill the basin or test reservoir.

6. Plug the pump’s power cord into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle with volt-

age consistent with the pump voltage, as indicated on the pump nameplate.

7. Confirm that the pump is functioning as intended.

Note: It is normal f

or a stream of water to spray from the air bleed hole in the pump’s plumbing.

(Water sprays out of a hole by a bolt on the base of the unit.) Confirm that this spray is captured

within the basin.

8. If pump is not functioning as intended, unplug the pump’s power cord from the receptacle and

efer to “Troubleshooting” on page 11. If the solution still cannot be found, please contact the

place of purchase or an authorized service center.

9. If the pump is functioning as intended, unplug the pump’s power cord from the receptacle

bef

ore attempting to remove it from the basin or test reservoir.

Risk of bodily injury or damage to pump or other equipment.

• Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a large

volume of water is to be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored during opera-

tion and disconnected from power before the pump runs dry.

• If an accessory float switch or other liquid level control is installed, refer to manufacturer’s

instructions. Failure to install control in compliance with national and local electrical and

plumbing codes and within manufacturer’s recommendations may result in electrical shock

or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic Service

MAINTENANCE

Periodic Service

Inspect and test the pump system condition and operation every three months—more frequently in

heavy use applications.

Let pump cool for a minimum of 2 hours before attempting to service. Submersible pumps contain

oil tha

t becomes pr

essurized and hot under normal operating conditions.

1. Check the power cords and electrical outlet for damage or corrosion. The power cord on these

units cannot be r

eplaced. In case of damage

, the whole unit must be replaced.

2. Remove all debris (gravel, sand, floating debris, etc.) from the basin.

3. Check the pump system components (basin, pump, switch, etc.) for any build-up (sludge, sed-

iment, minerals, etc.) that would inhibit functionality of the c

omponents. If significant, remo

build-up or replace affected components.

4. Confirm that all flexible coupling hose clamps are fully engaged with plumbing and fully tight-

ened.

5. Test operation of the pump system. Refer to

“Operation Testing” on page 8.

6. While the pump is running, make sure a stream of water is escaping from the air bleed hole. If

not, clear the hole of any deposits or debris.

Cleaning Impeller and Volute

Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the life and efficiency of the pump. Refer to the

assembly and disassembly of the pumping head.

1. Remove the five screws that hold the base to the volute, then separate the base from the

olute

. Do not remove the motor housing cover.

2. Remove the base and clean the impeller and the volute passage. Do not use strong solvents on

the impeller

. Do not remo

ve the impeller.

3. Be sure the impeller turns freely after cleaning.

4. Attach the base to the volute and secure it with the five screws.

Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high temperatures, or

pressurized fluids.

• Always unplug the pump power cord in addition to removing the fuse or shutting off the cir-

cuit breaker before working on the pump or switch.

• Let pump cool for a minimum of 2 hours before attempting to service. Submersible pumps

contain oil that becomes pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ

Avant de Commencer

Cette unité contient des hautes

tensions capables de causer de graves

blessures ou la mort par électrocution.

• Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique, débran-

chez l’alimentation avant de travailler sur le sys-

tème ou autour de celui-ci. Plusieurs interrupteurs

d’isolement peuvent être nécessaires pour

décharger l’équipement avant de procéder à son

entretien.

• Ce produit est fourni avec un conducteur de mise à

la terre et une fiche munie d’une attache de mise à

la terre. Pour réduire le risque de décharge élec-

trique, assurez-vous de seulement brancher la

pompe à une prise électrique correctement mise à

la terre. Ne retirez pas la troisième branche de la

fiche. La troisième branche sert à la mise à la terre

de la pompe, afin de prévenir tout risque possible

de décharge électrique. N’utilisez pas un cordon de

rallonge.

• Vérifier les prises électriques à l’aide d’un

analyseur de circuit pour s’assurer que les fils de

phase, de neutre et de terre sont correctement

branchés. Si ce n’est pas le cas, le problème doit

être corrigé par un électricien qualifié agréé.

• Raccorder le système de pompe en respectant la

tension indiquée.

• La pompe a été évaluée pour être utilisée avec de

l’eau uniquement. La pompe doit être utilisée

uniquement avec des liquides compatibles avec les

matériaux de ses composants. Si la pompe est util-

isée avec des liquides incompatibles avec les com-

posants de la pompe, le liquide peut provoquer une

défaillance du système d'isolation électrique

entraînant un choc électrique.

Risque de dommages à la pompe ou d’autres

équipements.

• Ne pas utiliser la pompe pour pomper de l’eau de

mer, des boissons, de l’acide, des solutions

chimiques ou tout autre liquide qui favoriserait la

corrosion, ce qui pourrait endommager la pompe.

• Ne pas faire tourner la pompe à sec. Pour obtenir

un refroidissement optimal et pour prolonger la

durée de vie de la pompe, le niveau de liquide

pompé doit normalement dépasser le dessus du

boîtier de la pompe.

• Cette pompe n’est pas prévue pour être utilisée

dans un étang.

Risque de blessures corporelles

ou de dommages matériels.

• Cet équipement ne doit pas être utilisé par des

enfants ou des personnes ayant des capacités phy-

siques, sensorielles ou mentales réduites ou un

manque d’expérience, à moins qu’elles ne soient

supervisées ou dirigées. Les enfants ne doivent pas

utiliser l’équipement ni jouer avec le produit ou à

proximité de celui-ci.

• L’équipement peut démarrer automatiquement.

Toujours débrancher le cordon d’alimentation de la

pompe et couper l’alimentation électrique avant

d’entretenir la pompe ou l’interrupteur.

• Une pompe inopérante ou défectueuse pourrait

entraîner une inondation, des blessures corporelles

ou des dommages matériels.

• Dans les applications où des dommages matériels

et/ou des blessures corporelles pourraient découler

du non-fonctionnement ou d’une fuite de la pompe

en raison de pannes de courant, d’une obstruction

de la ligne d’évacuation ou de toute autre raison,

un système de sauvegarde automatique et/ou une

alarme doivent être installés.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner la pompe à sec. En cas de

fonctionnement à sec, la température à la surface

de la pompe augmentera à un niveau susceptible

de causer des brûlures cutanées en cas de contact

et entraînera de graves dommages à votre pompe.

• Ne pas graisser le moteur. Le carter moteur de la

pompe est scellé et renferme une huile diélectrique

de qualité supérieure pour la transmission de chal-

eur et la lubrification à vie. L’utilisation d’autres

huiles peut causer de graves électrocutions et/ou

des dommages permanents de la pompe.

• Le fonctionnement de cet équipement requiert les

instructions d’installation et de fonctionnement

détaillées fournies dans le présent manuel. Lire

tout le manuel avant d’installer et d’utiliser le

produit.

• L’utilisateur final doit recevoir et conserver le

manuel pour consultation ultérieure.

• Garder les étiquettes de sécurité propres et en bon

état.

• Garder la zone de travail propre, bien éclairée et

dégagée.

• Porter des lunettes de sécurité lors de l’installation

ou de l’entretien de la pompe.

• Ne pas porter de vêtements amples, de bijoux ou

INTRODUCTION

Description du produit

INTRODUCTION

Description du produit

Cette pompe immergée est prévue pour être utilisée dans des bassins ou des stations de relève-

ment. Elle peut être utilisée pour pomper de l’eau claire ou des effluents eau grise contenant des

semi-solides de forme sphérique jusqu’à 12,

7mm (1/2po) de diamètre. Ne pas utiliser cette pompe

dans des applications où d’autres débris (gravier, sable, débris flottants, etc.), des abrasifs ou des

matières corrosives sont présents.

Ce produit a été soigneusement testé, inspecté et emballé pour en assurer la livraison et le

onctionnement sécuritair

es. Veuillez examiner votre ou vos articles soigneusement afin de vous

assurer qu’aucun dommage ne s’est produit pendant l’expédition. Dans le cas contraire, veuillez

communiquer avec le vendeur. Il vous aidera à obtenir un remplacement ou une réparation, le cas

échéant.

Le moteur de la pompe est muni d’un protecteur thermique à réinitialisation automatique et peut

edémarr

er subitement. Le déclenchement du protecteur est une indication que le moteur est sur-

chargé ou surchauffe, ce qui peut être causé par des problèmes d’application, comme un impulseur

de pompe obs

trué

, un interrupteur coincé en position de mise en marche, une pompe qui

fonctionne à vide, une pompe bloquée par de l’air, un cycle court de pompe, une alimentation à

tension excessivement élevée ou faible, ou possiblement la fin de la durée de vie utile d’une

pompe, d’un moteur, de paliers ou d’un joint d’étanchéité.

INSTALLATION

Installation Physique

INSTALLATION

Installation Physique

1. La pompe doit être installée dans un bassin étanche au gaz approprié d’au moins 18 po (45,7

cm) de diamètre et 24 po (61,0 cm) de profondeur, et ventilé conformément aux codes locaux

de plomberie.

2. Enlevez tout débris dans le bassin et placez la pompe au centre de ce dernier (se référer à

“Installation Typique” on page 21). Un fond solide empêchera la pompe d’être obstruée par du

sable et des saletés.

3. La pompe doit être placée sur une surface dure et de niveau. Ne placez jamais la pompe

dir

ect

ement sur une surface d’argile, de terre ou de gravier. Ces surfaces comportent de petites

roches, du gravier, du sable, etc., qui peuvent obstruer ou endommager la pompe et provoquer

sa défaillance.

4. N’essayez pas de restreindre le côté prise de ces pompes. La restriction de la prise peut

endommager le joint d’étanchéit

é et sous

-alimenter la pompe. S’il est nécessaire de réduire les

débits, une soupape peut être installée sur le côté refoulement de la pompe. Ou si un tuyau

flexible en vinyle est utilisé, une bride peut être utilisée sur le tuyau pour restreindre le débit.

5. Connectez la tuyauterie de refoulement. Utilisez une pâte à joint de tuyau sur toutes les con-

nexions. Le tuyau de refoulement doit être aussi court que possible et comporter le moins de

oudes possible

. Le tuyau de refoulement doit être du même diamètre que celui du

refoulement, afin de réduire les pertes par frottement. Un tuyau plus petit restreint la capacité

et réduit le rendement de la pompe. La pompe d’égout est livrée avec un refoulement à file-

tage femelle de 1.5 po (38 mm).

• Soutenez la pompe et la tuyauterie au cours de l’assemblage et de l’installation. Un

manquement pourrait entraîner la rupture des tuyaux, la défaillance de la pompe, la

défaillance des paliers du moteur, etc.

• Installez toujours un raccord union dans le conduit de refoulement, juste au-dessus du

couvercle de bassin, afin de permettre le retrait facile de la pompe à des fins de nettoyage

ou de réparation.

Risque de blessure grave ou de mort par électrocution.

• Débranchez toujours l’alimentation électrique avant de toucher à la pompe ou au

refoulement.

• Avant l’installation, vérifiez les codes locaux de l’électricité et du bâtiment. L’installation doit

respecter leur réglementation, de même que le plus récent Code national de l’électricité

(CNE).

INSTALLATION

Installation Physique

6. Un clapet anti-retour doit être utilisé dans le conduit de refoulement pour empêcher un

refoulement du liquide dans le bassin. Le clapet anti-retour doit être une vanne à débit direct

qui laisse facilement passer les solides.

7. Fixez les cordons d’interrupteur et de pompe au conduit de refoulement avec du ruban d’élec-

tricien. Cela aidera à protègera le cordon de tout dommage.

8. Testez le fonctionnement du système en suivant les instructions présentées dans

“Test de

fonctionnement” on page 23 de ce manuel. Ne tentez pas de faire fonctionner la pompe sans

eau; cela endommagerait les joints d’étanchéité et les paliers, et risquerait de provoquer des

dommages permanents à la pompe.

Placez le couvercle par-dessus le bassin. Ce couvercle aide à empêcher des débris d’entrer

dans le bassin et pr

otège c

ontre les blessures accidentelles.

Risque de dommages matériels dus aux inondations.

• N’installez pas le clapet antiretour en position verticale, car des solides peuvent se déposer

dans le clapet d'et empêcher le clapet d'ouverture au moment du démarrage. Pour un

rendement optimal du clapet anti-retour dans la gestion des solides, installez dans une

position horizontale ou à un angle d’au plus 45°.

• Lorsqu’un clapet anti-retour est utilisé, percez un orifice de sûreté (de 1/8 po ou 3/16 po [3,2

mm ou 4,8 mm] de diamètre) dans le tuyau de refoulement. Cet orifice doit être situé sous

le niveau du plancher, entre le refoulement de la pompe et le clapet anti-retour. Si un tel ori-

fice de sûreté n’est pas percé, la pompe peut être « bloquée par de l’air » et ne pas pomper

d’eau, même si elle est en marche.
