PS 2 500 / PS 2 750 / PSA 2 500 Operation

When installing the pump, pay close attention to its center of gravity
and weight. If it is not lowered into place correctly, it may fall and be
damaged or cause injury.
When transporting the machine by hand, be sure to employ manpower
commensurate with the weight of the machine. To avoid back injury
when lifting the machine, bend the knees to pick it up rather than
bending your back only.
Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump by
suspending it from the cable assembly. The cable may be damaged,
causing current leakage, shock, or fire.
2.3.1 Avoid dropping the pump or other strong impact. Lift the pump by
holding it firmly with the hands or by attaching a rope or chain to the
lifting handle.
Note: On cable assembly handling, see Electrical Wiring.
Avoid dry operation, which will not only lower performance but can
cause the pump to malfunction, leading to electrical leakage and
shock.
2.3.2 Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water
collects readily.
Note: See Operation (“Operating Water Level”) for the water level
necessary for operation.
Note: 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.
If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting from
friction in the pump can lead to current leakage and shock.
2.3.3 Use the pump in the upright position. To prevent the strainer from
becoming submerged in mud, causing it to suck in sand or debris,
mount it on a block or other firm base.
2.3.4 If used in a permanent installation where the pump is not readily
accessible after installation, please contact Wacker Neuson for a
duplicate nameplate to be installed at the wellhead or on the control
box so that it will be readily visible.
DO NOT lift or hang the pump by the level relay unit (1). It will lead to
damage and may cause leakage, electric shock, and fire (Model PSA
2 500).
