Use trained professionals to install the submersible pump. Improper fitment can cause pump to fall into the bottom of the bore Caution Use a power supply cable that has sufficient rating and has been exclusively provided for the pump Warning Provide proper earthing as improper earthing can cause electrical shock Warning Use a megger to verify the Insulation resistance of the motor.
Page 17
Operation Precautions Do not run the pump dry. It could lead to product damage Caution Switch OFF power supply and ensure that impeller completely stops before changing rotation or making any adjustments Warning Do not use this pump for pumping liquid exceeding 33 C as this may lead to product failure Caution...
10. Installation procedure Please follow below procedure to install the pump and motor. The supply voltage should be within -15% to +6% of rated voltage. Water temperature for operation of the pump should not exceed 33 Failure to observe the precautions given above could cause the pump to Caution malfunction, which may lead to current leakage or electrical shock.

Electrical wiring work All electrical work must be performed by an authorised electrician in compliance with local electrical equipment standards and internal wiring codes. Improper wiring can lead to current leakage, electrical shock, or fire. Provide a dedicated earth leakage circuit breaker, single phase preventer, dry run preventer and overload preventer for the submersible pump.
Page 28
Do not use damaged cables, power plugs, or loose power outlets. Failure to observe this precaution could lead to electrical shock, short circuit or fire Caution Precautions during installation When installing the pump, be mindful of the pump’s centre of gravity and weight. If the pump is not suspended properly, the pump may fall and break, which may lead to injury Warning...

If a hose is used, route it as straight as possible. Excessive bending of hose could obstruct flow of water, reduce pumping volume, or clog the pump with sludge, thus disabling the pumping function Operate the pump upright. If there is likelihood of the pump drawing in excess mud / sludge, raise the pump by placing a concrete block under the pump If the pump draws in large amounts of mud, it could cause pump to wear prematurely and lead to malfunction, current leakage, and electrical shock.
11. Basic troubleshooting To prevent serious accidents, disconnect the power supply before inspecting pump. Warning Read this Operation manual thoroughly before requesting repair. Contact the dealer from whom this equipment was purchased. Servicing and troubleshooting must be handled by qualified persons with proper tools and equipment. Common faults, root cause for these, and suggested actions are provided in TABLE 3 below: Fault Possible causes...

Fault Possible causes Suggested actions Check line fuses / availability of three-phase supply Single phasing Check voltage Voltage too low Current Change rotor consumption in Defective rotor excess Change winding Defective motor winding Change worn-out bearings Damaged thrust bearing The discharge valve is closed Open the valve No water or too low water level in Lower the pump if head is within the specification...
12. Preventive maintenance checks A definite schedule of preventive maintenance inspections should be established to avoid breakdown, serious damage, and / or extensive downtime. The schedule will depend on operating conditions and experience with similar equipment. Below checklist does not represent an exhaustive survey of maintenance steps necessary to ensure safe operation of the submersible pump.
Page 35
Maintenance precaution Disconnect power supply before starting maintenance or inspection of the pump to avoid electrical shock Warning If you find any damages or abnormalities, switch OFF the pump and report the problem to the dealer from whom the set was purchased Note NOTE: The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage or injury due to disassembly in the field.
13. Do’s and don’ts Do’s Don’ts Prior to installation, check water level in submersible Do not erect pumpset at the very bottom of the bore motor. If required, top up with clear and clean drinking hole. Ensure at least 3 m clearance from bottom water.
Page 37
Do’s Don’ts If a plastic well casing is used in your installation, Do not perform frequent megger tests on the winding ground the metal well cap or well seal as the winding insulation can weaken When not in use, run the pump at least a few minutes Do not use oversized fuse wires as this can cause the a day motor winding to be damaged due to starter failure /...
