SAFETY WARNINGS
BEFORE OPERATING OR
INSTALLING THIS PUMP, READ
THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY RULES AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
SAFETY CAREFULLY READ THESE SAFETY
MESSAGES IN THIS MANUAL AND
ON PUMP.
CAUTION
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS PUMP DRY!
• Review instructions before operating.
WARNING - ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
All wiring, electrical connections, and system grounding must
comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and with any local
codes and ordinances. Employ a licensed electrician.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Have an electrician provide electrical power to the motor.
This pump is suitable for installations where the vertical distance
from the pump to the water level does not exceed 25 feet. In
off-set installations, friction losses in the suction pipe must be
a) PUMP LOCATION: The pump should be installed in a
clean, dry and ventilated location which provides adequate
drainage, room for servicing and protection from freezing
temperatures. It should be bolted down evenly on a good
foundation, preferably concrete, to prevent the development of
unnecessary stress. Locating the pump as close as possible
to the source of water supply reduces the friction losses in
the suction pipe and provides for maximum capacities.
b) SUCTION PIPE: It is recommended that only new clean
pipe or hose be used and the size be the same as the pump
suction tapping. If the pump is installed any appreciable
distance away from the source of water supply, the suction
pipe should be increased by one size (this would increase
the priming time). The suction pipe must always slope
upwards from the water source to the pump to avoid air
pockets in the line. In cases where the pump has to be
reprimed often and it is not necessary that a lot of water be
delivered (e.g. draining seepage from behind a cofferdam),
WARNING:
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP BEFORE PRIMING IT. THE SEAL AND IMPELLER COULD BE
PERMANENTLY DAMAGED.
a) PRIMING: Remove the priming plug located on the top of
the casing and fi ll the pump casing with water. Replace
the priming plug.
b) IMPELLER ROTATION: The impeller must rotate in a
counter-clockwise direction as seen facing the pump from
the front of the casing. In the event of wrong rotation for

OPERATION - PRIMING THE PUMP
• Motor must be grounded and terminal cover in place to
reduce electrical shock hazard.
• Keep motor operating area as dry as possible.
• Always disconnect power before servicing.
• Not investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
• FBSEF series is capable of pumping liquid fertilizers. Re-
view all chemical manufacturers safety precautions before
handling. Do not breathe or ingest fumes or chemicals.
taken into consideration. The FBSEF-series pumps are suitable
for transferring liquid fertilizer.
it is advisable to use a 90° or 45° elbow on the suction line.
This enables the pump to prime sooner and also prevents
kinking of the hose. In cases where a maximum volume
of water is required over a prolonged period of time, the
suction line should be led almost horizontally to the pump.
Thread compound should be used on all pipe joints and
connections should be thoroughly tightened. A strainer
should be connected to the bottom end of the suction
pipe and it should be well submerged at all times.
c) WIRING: It is recommended that a separate circuit be led
from the distribution panel to the pump unit. A properly
fused disconnect switch is to be installed in the line,
making sure that the correct gauge of cable is used to
carry the load. Very long leads will require a larger cable.
For all three phase motors a separate manual thermal
overload switch or a magnetic starter having the proper
size heater elements must be installed. An electrician
should be employed to do the wiring.
electric motor models, refer to the instructions furnished
with the motor. The rotation of three phase motors can be
changed by interchanging any two lead wires.
c) STARTING THE PUMP: Never operate the pump dry as
this may damage the seal. If an exceptionally long suction
line is used, the water in the pump casing may become
