General safety instructions

This section describes the safety rules which you have to observe for the safe use of submersible motors.
Possible sources of danger and the relevant safety measures are listed here.
Franklin Electric submersible motors are only intended for integration with a machine in order to drive the
relevant machine under water. They must only be put into use if the machine fulfils the provisions of the
applicable directives and statutory provisions.
Installation location: Vertical (Mandatory mounting position: vertical, shaft up. Only one diameter step
allowed, i.e. 6" motor on 8" pump). Horizontal (only allowed if the pump size is identical to the motor size,
e.g. 6" motor with 6" pump). The pump has to sufficient "Down Thrust" transmit to the motor.
The submersible motors must only be used in clean, highly fluid media, such as drinking or process water.
The following media are not allowed: air, highly flammable, explosive media and wastewater.
Franklin Electric shall not be liable for the damage resulting from any further, non-intended use. The risk of
such use rests solely with the user.
The electrical system must only be installed by professional staff (qualified electrical engineers or electrical
machine technicians).
The following safety measures must be observed prior to putting the motor into use:
Do not carry out any other work on the motor than described in these instructions.

Only use the motor under water (the motor and the short motor cable must be fully submersed).

Do not implement any changes or conversions to the motor or its electrical connections.

Never open the motor.

Never use the motor in combination with damaged pump units or parts.

Only work on the motor when it is switched off. No work or checks require the motor to be

running.
Switch off the power supply to the motor before carrying out any work on it.

Make sure that nobody can switch on the voltage unexpectedly while work is being carried out on

the motor.
Never work on electrical systems during a thunderstorm.

Make sure immediately after ending the work that all protective and safety devices have been

fitted again and are operational.
Before switching on the motor, make sure that all electrical connections and safety devices have

been checked and that all fuses and safeties have been set correctly.
Make sure that no danger zones are freely accessible (e.g. rotating parts, suction locations,

pressure output locations, electrical connections).
Observe the pump manufacturer's commissioning instructions.

If motors or pump units have been used in contaminated media they must be marked as such

before handing them over to a third party (e.g. when submitting them for repair). Pay attention to
possible residues in "Dead spaces" (diaphragm cover).
Repairs must only be carried out by authorized professional workshops. Use only original

Franklin Electric spare parts.
Observe warning notices attached to the motor

Encapsulated Submersible Motors
