SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see
this symbol on your pump or in this manual, look
for one of the following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury:
warns about hazards that will cause
serious personal injury, death or major
property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can
cause serious personal injury, death or
major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can
cause minor personal injury or property
damage if ignored.
The label NOTICE indicates special instructions which
are important but not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in
this manual and on pump.
Keep safety labels in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
LOCATION:
Locate the pump as near to the water source as
practical. Make the suction pipe run short and straight
with as few pipe fittings as possible to keep total friction
loss to a minimum.
Install pump in a clean, dry and well drained location if
possible and protect against moisture and adverse
weather conditions. Pump should be located on a level,
hard surface to prevent shifting or tipping. Locate to be
readily accessible for inspection and maintenance.
Careful attention should be taken to assure that Net
Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) exceeds Net
Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR) by the pump
or reduced performance and severe pump damage may
result.
Figure 1, Page 3, illustrates where these terms (NPSHA
/ NPSHR) originate, and how to determine if the
pumping conditions at which you want to operate meet
the proper criteria. When in doubt, consult your nearest
Berkeley Professional Dealer.
NOTE: If pump site is 1000 feet above sea level, sub-
tract 1.2 feet from the NPSHA equation and an ad-
ditional 1.2 feet for each additional 1000 feet of eleva-
tion.
