NOTICE:
Pump shown is a JCU, not an HSUL. For illustrative purposes only.
NOTICE: A lower than expected current draw with a 3-phase motor may be an indication of
incorrect rotation. If the amps are lower than expected, check rotation.
a) Observe the discharge for flow rate. If it is lower than expected change two of the three
motor leads to reverse the direction of rotation.
b) Check the motor overload at some other condition from that encountered at start-up
The ammeter on the motor leads should be checked for overload at all sump level
heights with the liquid that will be normally pumped. The horsepower will tend to
increase as the level in the sump rises, due to increased flow.
Maintenance
Maintenance - O-ring, pump flange to slide rail base flange
Whenever the pump is removed from the sump using the slide rail system, the pump flange to
slide rail base flange O-ring should be inspected for wear. If it does not appear to be in good
condition, a replacement O-ring should be installed after the groove has been cleaned and
dried so the adhesive will bond to the metal and rubber.
NOTICE: Cleaning the guide bracket around the hinge pin 9868 will help ensure proper
operation when the pump is lowered back into place.
