Operation - Zoeller X6161 Mode D'emploi

GENERAL
Zoeller Engineered Products' pumps are lubricated and tested at the
factory prior to shipment and require minimum pre-start-up maintenance.
Maximum operating temperature of pump liquid must not exceed
104 °F (40 °C).
These units are not designed to handle liquids other than effluent: X6160
and X6180 or sanitary sewage: X6280, X6290 and X6400. If pump is
used to dewater areas with contaminated liquids with heavy or abrasive
materials, the warranty will be voided.
NAMEPLATE DATA
The nameplate, located on the side of the pump, indicates specific
information about the construction of the pump. The model number
and date code information should be recorded on the front page in the
"Owner's Information" section of this manual.
SHORT TERM STORAGE
When not in use, the pump should be stored and the following is
advised:
• Store pump inside whenever possible or cover with some type of protective
covering.
• Tape or seal in plastic bag the terminal ends of wire leads.
• Spray coat unpainted surfaces with rust inhibiting oil.
• The impeller should be rotated every six months in order to keep the
seals lubricated and not develop a permanent set.
If panel is to be stored, the following is advised:
• Store the panel inside whenever possible and leave in the shipping
box.
• All openings shall be sealed.
• Store in an upright position.
• Do not stack anything on top of panel.
START-UP PROCEDURE
Before placing the equipment into operation the following should be
checked:
• Clean pit.
• Electrical boxes dry and securely installed.
• Floats positioned properly.
• Discharge valves open.
• 3/16" (4 mm) vent hole drilled in pipe between check valve and pump

OPERATION

Once the previous has been verified proceed with the following
checks:
• Pump power cables and control floats properly installed and voltage
verified.
• Conduit connections to panel are properly sealed.
• After installing the pump into the containment area, with adequate
submergence, open the shut-off valve fully. Start the unit using
manual controls. If flow is appreciably less than rated performance,
pump may be air locked. To expel trapped air, jog the unit several
times, using the manual controls.
• Have a qualified electrician take voltage and current measurements
with the pump running. Record these readings in the space provided
in the "Owner's Information" section on page 1 of this manual for
future reference.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Pumps: No adjustments are required.
Floats: Nonautomatic - Refer to the system drawing or to the panel
Valves: Discharge valves should be placed in the fully open position.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
If a system is shutdown for more than six months, the following is
recommended:
Pumps: If pit is to remain dry, then the pump can remain in the pit.
