Note: See “Operating water level” for the water level necessary for
operation. The discharge end of the hose should be located higher
than the water surface. If the end of the hose is submerged, water may
flow back to the pump when the pump is stopped; and if the hose end
is lower than the water surface, water may overflow when the pump is
turned off.
2.3.3
The hose should be run as straight as possible, since excessive
bending will hinder the water flow, preventing sufficient lift, and can
even cause the hose to become clogged with earth. If the hose is
crimped near the pump, air can become trapped in the pump and
cause idle running.
If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting from
friction in the pump can lead to electrical leakage and shock.
2.3.4
Use the pump in the upright position. If there is a risk of the pump
drawing in debris or sediment, operate the pump inside a basket or by
enclosing it in a net.
2.3.5
If used in a permanent installation, where the pump is not readily
accessible after installation, please contact Wacker for a duplicate
nameplate to be installed at the wellhead or on the control box so that
it will be readily visible.
2.4
Electrical Wiring
Performing electrical wiring
Electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified person in accord
with all applicable regulations. Failure to observe this precaution not
only risks breaking the law but is extremely dangerous.
Incorrect wiring can lead to current leakage, electrical shock or fire.
ALWAYS make sure the pump is equipped with the specified overload
protectors and fuses or breakers, so as to prevent electrical shock from
a current leak or pump malfunction.
Operate within the capacity of the power supply and wiring.
Grounding
DO NOT use the pump without first grounding it properly. Failure to
ground it can lead to electrical shock from a current leak or pump
malfunction.
