OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
ELECTRIC BILGE PUMPS KBS SERIES
Warranty dpes not cover damage caused by connecting pumps and controls to an incorrect power sour-
ce (voltage/ phase supply). Record the model numbers and serial numbers from the pumps and control
panel on the front of this instruction manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix it to the
control panel when finished with the installation.
4. INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP
1) The pump have been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions. Please contact the ma-
nufacturer for additional information.
2) Risk of electric shock. The pump models do not come with electric plug connectors. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type recep-
tacle.
3) Attach a rope or lifting chain (not included) to the handle (or lifting rings) on the top of the pump.
4) Do not lift the pump by the power cable or discharge hose/ piping. Proper lifting equipament (rope/
chain) must be used.
5) The pump are designed to operate fully or partially submerged. Avoid running the pump dry for ex-
tended periods of time.
6) As a general rule, the top discharge pumps can pump down to a level above the suction screen. Pum-
ping lower than screen will permit air to enter the pump and cavitate, lose prime or become air bound.
7) Running the pump dry for extended periods of time may damage the seals and over-heat the motor.
8) Never place the pump on loose or soft ground. The pump may sink, preventing water from reaching
the impeller. Place on a solid surface or suspend the pump with a lifting rope/chain. The pumps are
provided with a suction.
9) Strainer to prevent large solids from clogging the impeller. Any spherical solids which pass throug the
strainer should pass through the pump.
10) For maximum pumping capacity, use the proper size non-collapsible hose or rigid piping. A check
valve may be installed after the discharge to prevent back flow when the pump is shut off.
5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1) The pump must be connected to terminals or starting equipment installed at a level at which it cannot
be flooded.
2) All electrical equipment must always be earthed (grounded). This applies both to the pump and to
any monitoring equipment.
