1. GENERAL

The booklet covers instructions for following models of submersible pump.

This model is suitable for domestic water supply, sprinkler, Garden water application,

pressure boosting from deep well, etc.

The complete range of Submersible pumps is covered by three driving units’ there by

reducing inventory and achieving interchangeability of parts.

Pumps when properly installed and given due care in operation and maintenance should

operate satisfactorily for a long period.

All the pumps and motor are carefully installed and tested in our factory, so as to ensure the

performance and features given in our catalogues.

Regular operation of the equipment depends on its being used correctly and serviced

periodically or regularly by our authorized service center.

During unpacking and prior to installation, care must be taken when handling the pump to

ensure that misalignment does not occur due to bending.

The pumps should remain in the packing until they are placed in vertical position during

installation.

When the pump parts and motor are supplied as separate units. Fit the motors and pumps by

skilled persons or follow the procedures as described below.

guarded against and the instructions below MUST BE COMPLIED WITH for safe operation. These

instructions cannot cover all circumstances. It is the responsibility of the user of the equipment for

maintaining safe working practices at all times.

Before starting work, become familiar with the control devices and their functions.

Do not subject the equipment to work, it could not be a reasonably support.

Access to the equipment should be restricted to the personnel responsible for installation,

operation and maintenance and they must be trained, only authorize and skilled labor from

Prakash service center should handle their respective tasks.

The plates concerning safety must be very clear.

Handel the motor pumps carefully.

When handling the motor pump use suitable lifting equipment with safety regulation and

wear safety shoes and gloves.

Use suitable cables of allowable length, marked with suitable cross-sections.

Protect the cable from high temperatures, lubricants and sharp corners, as this may result in

puncture of cables and case damage to the equipment and life.

Never run the set dry as it may reduce the life of the equipment or damage.

During the installation operations, pay attention to hanging loads and follow the

corresponding safety rules.

Make sure the control panel and the electrical system in accordance with current regulation.

Do not tamper to remove the pump’s guards.

Operation of the equipment for the application other than for which it is supplied can

increase the risk from hazards. Please consult Prakash pump skilled engineer before making

such change in the application of the equipment.

4. FUNCTION AND FEATURE

These types of model are suitable with independent floating impellers to provide easy starting and

long life automatically adjusting to match pumping conditions for various applications.

Heavy duty stainless steel inner and outer cover provides protection and accurate alignment of

internal components. High quality shaft bearings provide low friction and high wear resistance.

Strong stainless steel shaft ensures positive impeller and longer lasting life.

5. INSTALLATION

Basic Our pump supplied is ready to connect with motor and cables.

Parts or accessories are sometimes wrapped individually or fastened to the equipment. If any

damage or losses have been incurred; promptly notify your Prakash pump representative.

Along its entire length the well diameter must be wide enough to allow for passage of the

pump with clearance all round.

Handle the pump carefully; don’t drop it or let it fall.

The safe movement of the equipment is on the user responsibility and any lifting operation

must be carried out by suitable trained and qualified personnel only.

Pump installation

Before installation, must check whether the cable is damaged, scratched, broken, etc. If they

are faulty, must consult Prakash pump representative.

The pumps are normally supplied pump disconnected; connect the coupling and pump-motor

suction lantern.


Clean the surface to be coupled.

Put the suction lantern of the pump in correspondence of the motor studs.

Couple the grooved joint of the pump to the motor shaft.

Screw in the nuts to the suction lantern, and then fix the crosswise starting from the one

opposed to the cable.

The torque recommended is 10 Nm for 4’ motor.

Connect the cable to the pump with the cable guard and place the filter on the suction lantern.

When threaded connections are used, delivery pipes must be tightened to avoid any risks of

the pump falling into the well.

A safety rope or chain on non-perishable material should always be used to secure the pump.

Attach the power cables to the delivery pipe with cable clamps placed at intervals of

approximate 3 meter.

Lower the pump into the well, making sure the feed cables are not damaged in any way during

the operation.

Install the pump with its axis placed at least 0.5 meter above the bottom of the well.

Power supply

Note:

All work of an electrical system must be carefully carried out by skilled person only.

Make sure the frequency and mains voltage correspond with the name plate data.

Check whether the power supply is conformed to the stipulation of name plate before

installation.

Power supply connected with the pump must be assembled with ELCB, and the voltage

fluctuation must be controlled within ± 10% of rated.

For connection of cables in the well, use thermo-shrinking insulation sheathes or other

system used for submerged cables.

The operating temperature limiting the drop in voltage to at most 3%.

The live wire should made dead before making the connection.

The connection between the pump and the other part must be made using suitable material

for submersed cables and in compliance with the current regulation from local electricity

board authority.

All checking of connection should be checked by appropriate instruments.

Important

While installing the motor pump, avoid impact, rubbing or anything else that can

damage the power cable or puncture the cable leading to short-circuit.

Direction of rotation

The direction of rotation is clockwise,

Rotation speed

All the models are suitable for speed of 2900 rpm.
