Limited Warranty - Zoeller X6161 Mode D'emploi

Manufacturer warrants, to the purchaser and subsequent owner during the
warranty period, every new product to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service, when properly used and maintained,
for a period of one year from date of purchase by the end user, or 18 months
from date of original manufacture of the product, whichever comes first. Parts
that fail within the warranty period, one year from date of purchase by the
end user, or 18 months from the date of original manufacture of the product,
whichever comes first, that inspections determine to be defective in material or
workmanship, will be repaired, replaced or remanufactured at Manufacturer's
option, provided however, that by so doing we will not be obligated to replace
an entire assembly, the entire mechanism or the complete unit. No allowance
will be made for shipping charges, damages, labor or other charges that may
occur due to product failure, repair or replacement.
This warranty does not apply to and there shall be no warranty for any material
or product that has been disassembled without prior approval of Manufacturer,
subjected to misuse, misapplication, neglect, alteration, accident or act of
nature; that has not been installed, operated or maintained in accordance
with Manufacturer's installation instructions; that has been exposed to outside
substances including but not limited to the following: sand, gravel, cement, mud,
tar, hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon derivatives (oil, gasoline, solvents, etc.), or other
abrasive or corrosive substances, etc. in all pumping applications. The warranty
1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your distributor before using. DO NOT remove the test plugs in the cover nor
the motor housing.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.
3. National Electrical Code (NEC) articles 500 through 503 explain in detail the requirements for the installation and wiring of electrical equipment in hazardous locations.
1. Not for use in acidic atmospheres.
2. Do not lift, carry, or hang pump by the electrical cables. Damage to the
electrical cables can cause shock, burns or death.
3. Make sure there is a properly grounded connection available. All
pumps are furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help protect
you against the possibility of electrical shock.
4. Make certain that the control box is within the reach of the pump's power
supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that
are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor.
But, more important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation
were to become damaged or the connection end were to fall into the sump.
5. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses
and disconnect or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch
circuit is recommended, sized according to the "National Electrical Code"
for the current shown on the pump nameplate.
6. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated for use in
swimming pool areas.
7. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
8. Electrical wiring and protection must be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code per NEC articles 500 through 503 for installation in Class I,
Division 1, Group C & D environments, and any other applicable state and
local electrical requirements.
9. Use pressure-rated pipe and fittings when connecting to the disharge of
the pump.

LIST OF WARNINGS
1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage
requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump nameplate.
2. The float switches must be connected to an intrinsically safe circuit in the
control panel. The installation of float switches is the responsibility of the
installing party and care should be taken that the tethered float switch will
not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured so
that the pump will shut off. It is recommended that rigid piping and fittings
be used and the pit be 36" (91 cm) or larger in diameter.
3. INFORMATION - VENT HOLE PURPOSE. It is necessary that all
submersible pumps capable of handling various sizes of solid waste be of
the bottom intake design to reduce clogging and seal failures. If a check
valve is incorporated in the installation, a vent hole (approx. 3/16" [4 mm])
must be drilled in the discharge pipe below the check valve and pit cover
to purge the unit of trapped air. Water stream will be visible from this hole
during pump run periods. This vent hole should be checked periodically
for clogging and cleaned as necessary. Trapped air is caused by agitation
and/or a dry basin.
4. Water hammer creates momentary high pressure surges. These surges can
cause severe damage to check valves and the piping system. Consideration
for water hammer must be included in the piping system design. Reference
ASPE Data Book, Chapter 2.33. Some systems may require external spring
or lever weighted check valves or other engineered solutions.
5. Three phase pumps must be connected for proper rotation, which is
counterclockwise looking into impeller inlet.
6. Care should be taken during the initial installation to be sure that adequate
air supply is available whenever any person is in the basin. Always follow
OSHA guidelines on confined space requirements.
