Safety Information
Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the pump. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or property damage.
- Ensure the power source is 110 Volts as specified for this pump.
- Do not operate the pump with damaged cords or plugs.
- Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or inspection.
- Keep hands and feet clear of the pump intake and discharge during operation.
- This pump is designed for submersible use only.
Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Position the pump on a stable, level surface in the area to be dewatered. Ensure the pump is fully submerged for optimal operation and cooling.
- Discharge Hose Connection: Attach a suitable 2-inch discharge hose to the pump's outlet. Secure the connection with a hose clamp to prevent leaks.
- Power Connection: Connect the pump to a grounded 110-volt power outlet. Ensure the circuit is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
- Float Switch Adjustment: For automatic operation, ensure the float switch has sufficient clearance to move freely and activate the pump at desired water levels.
Operating Instructions
The Tsurumi HSZ2.4S-62 pump features automatic operation via its float switch.
- Automatic Operation: Once connected to power and submerged, the pump will automatically start when the water level rises and lifts the float switch. It will stop when the water level drops and the float switch falls.
- Monitoring: Periodically check the pump's operation and the discharge flow. Ensure the pump is not running dry for extended periods, as it features motor protection for dry run situations.
- Handling Solids: The agitator suspends sand and mud, allowing the pump to handle solids effectively. Avoid pumping excessively large or abrasive materials that could damage the impeller.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Tsurumi pump.
- Power Disconnection: Always disconnect the pump from the power source before any maintenance.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the pump's intake screen and impeller area to remove accumulated debris, sand, or mud. This prevents clogging and maintains efficiency.
- Inspection: Inspect the power cable for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Check the float switch for free movement and any obstructions.
- Storage: If storing the pump for an extended period, clean it thoroughly, drain all water, and store it in a dry, protected area.
- Anti-Wicking Block: The cable features an anti-wicking block. Do not tamper with this component, as it prevents water intrusion into the motor.
