SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the fi nest pumps
on the market today. CP&S pumps are products engineered
and manufactured of high quality components. Over one
hundred years of pump building experience along with a
continuing quality assurance program combine to produce a
pump which will stand up to the toughest applications.
This manual will provide helpful information concerning
installation, maintenance, and proper service guidelines.
B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage
or shortages. If damage has occurred, fi le a claim immediately
with the company that delivered the pump. If the manual is
removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.
B-3) Storage:
Short Term - CP&S Pumps are manufactured for effi cient
performance following short inoperative periods in storage. For
best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory as-
sembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures for up
to six (6) months.
Long Term - Any length of time exceeding six (6) months, but
not more than twenty-four (24) months. The unit should be
stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed over walled
enclosure that provides protection from the elements (rain,
snow, wind-blown dust, etc.), and whose temperature can be
maintained between +40 deg. F and +120 deg. F. (4.4 - 49°C).
Pump should be stored in its original shipping container. On
initial start up, rotate impeller by hand to assure seal and impel-
ler rotate freely. If it is required that the pump be installed and
tested before the long term storage begins, such installation will
be allowed provided:
1.) The pump is not installed under water for more than one
(1) month.
2.) Immediately upon satisfactory completion of the test, the
pump is removed, thoroughly dried, repacked in the
original shipping container, and placed in a temperature
controlled storage area.

SECTION C: INSTALLATION
C-1) Location:
These pumping units are self-contained and are recommended
for use in a sump, lift station or basin. The sump, lift station or
basin shall be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.
This pump is designed to pump sewage, effl uent, or other
nonexplosive or noncorrosive wastewater and shall NOT be
installed in locations classifi ed as hazardous in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Cana-
dian Electrical Code (CEC). Never install the pump in a trench,
ditch or hole with a dirt bottom; the legs will sink into the dirt and
the suction will become plugged.
C-1.1) Submergence:
It is recommended that the pump be operated in the submerged
condition and the sump liquid level should never be less than
dimension “A” in Fig. 1.
C-2) Discharge:
Discharge piping should be as short as possible. Both a check
valve and a shut-off valve are recommended for each pump
being used. The check valve is used to prevent backfl ow into
the sump. Excessive backfl ow can cause fl ooding and/or
damage to the pump. The shut-off valve is used to stop system
fl ow during pump or check valve servicing.
C-3) Liquid Level Controls (Not supplied with pump):
The level controls are to be supported by a mounting bracket
that is attached to the sump wall, cover or junction box. Cord
grips are used to hold the cords in place on the mounting
bracket. The control level can be changed by loosening
the grip and adjusting the cord length as per the plans and
specifi cations. Be certain that the level controls cannot hang up
or foul in it’s swing and that the pump is completely submerged
when the level control is in the “OFF” mode.
C-4) Electrical Connections:
C-4.1) Power/Control Cable:
The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modifi ed
in any way except for shortening to a specifi c application.
Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be
made in accordance with all applicable electric codes. It is
recommended that a junction box, if used, be mounted outside
the sump or be of at least Nema 4 (EEMAC-4) construction if
located within the wet well. Do not use the power/control cable
to lift pump. NOTE: The white wire is NOT a neutral or groud
lead, but a power carrying conductor.
