hydraulic submersible pump

INTRODUCTION

Our hydraulically powered submersible dewatering and trash pumps have been engineered

to provide long lasting pumping performance with economic advantages that no other

pump can match. Yet, even a well-designed and well-built pump can malfunction or become

hazardous in the hands of an experienced or untrained user. Anyone that operates or comes

in contact with these products must thoroughly read and understand this manual and related

equipment manuals prior to handling, operating or servicing these pumps.

SAFETY RULES

1. Only use the pump in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and limitations.

2. Only trained personnel shall operate the pump, conduct maintenance or repairs. A trained

person has read and thoroughly understands this instruction manual and related equipment

manuals and, through training and experience, has shown knowledge regarding safe

operational procedures.

3. Always use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE) including, but not limited

to: eye and ear protection, safety shoes, hard hat and work gloves.

4. Safety goggles must be worn at all times by the operator and any persons or bystanders

within 100 feet of the pump or its discharge point.

5. Never lift or lower the pump by its hydraulic hoses; use a cable and a lifting eye where

applicable.

6. Do not use any hose showing signs of damage or wear, including both hydraulic and

discharge hoses.

7. Secure the discharge hose before operating.

8. Do not allow the discharge hose to be kinked while in operation. If pumping in a shallow

basin use a 90 degree elbow on the pump to prevent kinking.

9. Keep all body parts clear from discharge hose and pump inlet. Keep all body parts

away from pressurized hydraulic hoses.

10. Always stop hydraulic power source and depressurize the hydraulic system before

connecting or disconnecting hydraulic hoses.

11. Never try to adjust or service the pump while connected to a hydraulic power source.

12. Hydraulic hoses must be rated for 2500 PSI working pressure and hydraulic power

source must not provide more than 2250 PSI at any time

BEFORE OPERATION

1. Anyone that operates or comes in contact with these products must thoroughly read

and understand this manual and related equipment manuals prior to handling, operating

or servicing these pumps.

2. Check hydraulic flow and relief pressure at the power source. Never exceed the pumps

maximum flow rate or pressure. The power source must be open center, single directional

and have an unrestricted flow from the pump back to the reservoir.

3. Inspect all hoses for breaks, cracks, abrasions, kinks, bulges or erosion from chemical

exposure before use. Replace damaged hoses before use. Inspect pump for damage

and insure all decals and warning labels are intact and legible.
