PS(A)2 800 / PSW3 1500 Installation
1. Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water collects
readily.
Note: See “Operating Water Level” for the water level necessary for operation. The
discharge end of the hose should be located higher than the water surface. If the
end of the hose is submerged, water may flow back to the pump when the pump is
stopped; and if the hose end is lower than the water surface, water may overflow
when the pump is turned off.
2. The hose should be run as straight as possible, since excessive bending will
hinder the water flow, preventing sufficient lift, and can even cause the hose to
become clogged with earth. If the hose is crimped near the pump, air can
become trapped in the pump and cause idle running.
If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting from friction in the
pump can lead to electrical leakage and shock.
3. Use the pump in the upright position. To prevent the pump from becoming
submerged in mud, mount it on a block or other firm base if necessary.
4. If used in a permanent installation, where the pump is not readily accessible
after installation, please contact Wacker Neuson for a duplicate nameplate to be
installed at the wellhead or on the control box so that it will be readily visible.
3.4 Preparing for Installation
Before installing the pump at a work site, you will need to have the following tools
and instruments ready:
 Insulation resistance tester (megohmmeter)
 AC voltmeter
 AC ammeter (clamp-on type)
 Bolt and nut tighteners
 Power supply connection tools (screwdriver or box wrench)
Note: Please also read the instructions that come with each of the test instruments.
