Flotec FPSE9000 Notice D'utilisation page 3

Installation / Electrical / Operation / Service
Use a 2" (5.1 cm) swing check valve in the discharge
line to prevent backflow of liquid into sump basin.
Check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily
pass solids.
NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when
handling solids, do not install it with discharge angled
more than 45° above the horizontal. Do not install check
valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in valve
and prevent opening on startup.
Drill a 3/16" (4.7mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1"-2"
(2.5 - 5.1cm) above pump discharge connection (but
below check valve) to prevent airlocking the pump.
SPECIFICATIONS
Power Supply Required.................................115V, 60 Hz
Liquid Temperature Range ...........32˚F to 130˚F (0˚–55˚C)
Individual Branch Circuit Req. (Min.)..................15 Amps
Full Load Amps..................................................8.2 Amps
NOTE: In applications a) requiring more than 30 minutes
continuous operation in 55˚C water and b) where the
voltage may periodically drop to 104V (10% below rated
voltage), the motor housing must be 2/3 submerged (at
least 10" depth of water) to prevent overheating.
ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. When installing, operating, or servicing this
pump, follow safety instructions listed below.
1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
2. DO NOT allow electrical cord plug to be submerged.
3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard
and can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pump-
ing and/or damage motor.
4. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is connected
to power supply.
5. DO NOT remove grounding prong from plug or mod-
ify plug.To protect against electrical shock, the power
cord is a three-wire conductor and includes a 3-prong
grounded plug. Plug pump into a 3-wire, grounded,
grounding-type receptacle. Connect pump according
to electrical codes that apply.
For automatic operation, plug the pump power cord into
the automatic float switch plug. Pump will run continu-
ously when plugged directly into an electrical outlet.
Connect pump to an individual branch circuit with no
other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuse or
circuit breaker according to chart below.

Risk of electrical shock and fire. Be sure
that power supply information (Voltage/ Hertz/Phase)
on pump motor nameplate matches incoming power
supply exactly. Install pump according to all electrical
codes that apply.
OPERATION AND INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It
will void the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will pro-
tect motor from burning out due to overheating/overload-
ing. When motor cools down, overload protector will
automatically reset and start motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be a
stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure in
motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
have it serviced by a competent repairman.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is
required.
GENERAL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. Before removing pump from basin for ser-
vice, always disconnect electrical power to pump and
control switch.
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill.
Do not lift pump by power cord. See "Cord Lift Warning"
on Page 5.
Submerge pump in a disinfectant solution (chlorox or
chlorine) for at least one hour before replacing the cord
or switch.
The pump motor contains a special lubricating oil which
should be kept clean and free of water at all times.
