SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TO AVOID SERIOUS OR FATAL PERSONAL INJURY
OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ AND
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN MANUAL
AND ON PUMP.
THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN THE
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT AND
MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.
This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
When you see this symbol on the pump
or in the manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury or property
damage.

DANGER
personal injury, death or major property
damage.

personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE:INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND
MUST BE FOLLOWED.
THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY
WORK ON THIS PUMP.
MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.
UNIT NOT DESIGNED FOR USE
WARNING
WITH HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS OR
FLAMMABLE GASES. THESE FLUIDS
MAY BE PRESENT IN
CONTAINMENT AREAS.
Hazardous fluids
can cause fire,
burns or death.
NOTICE: INSPECT UNIT FOR DAMAGE AND
REPORT ALL DAMAGE TO THE
CARRIER OR DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

1. Important Instructions

1. Inspect unit for damage. Report damage to carrier
immediately.
2. Electrical supply must be a separate branch circuit with
fuses or circuit breakers, wire sizes, etc., per National
and Local electrical codes. Install an all-leg disconnect
switch near pump.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT
WARNING
ELECTRICAL POWER WHEN
HANDLING PUMP OR CONTROLS.
Hazardous voltage
can shock, burn or
cause death.
3. Motors must be wired for proper voltage (check name-
plate). Wire size must limit maximum voltage drop to
2
10% of nameplate voltage at motor terminals, or motor
life and pump performance will be lowered.
4. Single-Phase: Thermal protection for single-phase units
is sometimes built-in (Check nameplate). If no built-in
protection is provided, use a contactor with proper
overload. Fusing is permissible if properly fused.
5. Three-Phase: Provide three-leg protection with proper
size magnetic starter and thermal overloads.
6. Maximum Liquid Temperatures:
212ºF (100ºC) with standard seal.
250ºF (120ºC) with optional high-temperature seal.
7. Maximum allowable operating pressure: 232 PSI (16 bars).
8. Maximum number of starts per hour: 20, evenly distributed.
9. Regular Inspection and Maintenance will increase
service life. Base schedule on operating time.

2. Installation

1. Close-coupled SFH units may be installed inclined or
vertical. See Figure 1 for SFC installation positions.
Figure 1
DO NOT INSTALL WITH MOTOR
CAUTION
BELOW PUMP. CONDENSATION
WILL BUILD UP IN MOTOR.
2. Locate pump as near liquid source as possible (below
level of liquid for automatic operation).
3. Protect from freezing or floods.
4. Allow adequate space for servicing and ventilation.
5. For close-coupled pumps, the foundation must be flat
and substantial to eliminate strain when tightening
bolts. Use rubber mounts to minimize noise and
vibration. Tighten motor hold-down bolts before
connecting piping to pump.
6. All piping must be supported independently of the pump,
and must "line-up" naturally. Never draw piping into place
by forcing the pump suction and discharge connections!
7. Angular alignment of the flanges can best be accom-
plished using calipers at bolt locations (See Figure 2).
Figure 2
8. Avoid unnecessary fittings. Select sizes to keep friction
losses low.
9. After completing piping, rotate unit by hand to check
for binding. Note: A screwdriver slot or flats are
provided in end of motor shaft.
