GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multiquip Model CX400 and PX400 submersible pumps
are designed to pump water and is used for the draining
(dewatering) of well casings construction sites, coffer dams,
manholes, transformer vaults and excavations.
Its slim design, only 10 inches (25.4 cm.) in diameter allows
it to fit easily inside casings and eliminates the need for
larger, more costly casings. The pump is powered by a 1/2
HP, 115-volt, single-phase motor for easy starting with a
small 2,500-watt generator.
This rugged submersible pump is loaded with features
such as:
- Automatically
shuts off the motor should it reach an unsafe operating
temperature.
- Provides and
convenient and safe location to attach a lifting device.
- Provides added safety
in the event the operator should try lifting the pump from
the electrical cord.
- Provides easy
maintenance and lower repair costs.
- provides positive
lubrication if the pump should be left running dry. This
helps prevent damage in the event the pump is run dry
for short periods of time.
- Abrasion resistance plastic minimizes wear
and extends impeller life.
- High strength plastic design makes
pump a great choice in corrosive environments. Ideal for
use in marine and certain chemical applications.
If the pump was used to pump water containing mud, silt,
use clean water to flush out the pump after each use.
allow the pump to run dry for an extended period
of time, as this will damage the pump. During maintenance,
dry running is permissible but only for a few seconds.
lift the pump by its electrical power cord.
lift the pump by its carrying handle or attach a rope to the
carrying handle.
A pump fully submerged in liquid will not freeze, unless
the liquid freezes. allow a partially submerged
pump to freeze. The expansion of water freezing in the
volute may crack the pump, causing expensive repairs. If
there is any danger of the pump being subjected to freezing
temperatures, Lift the pump from water and allow it to drain
thoroughly.
If the pump jams or the pump rotor locks for any reason,
disconnect the pump from the power source immediately.
Allowing the pump motor to cycle and under an
overload condition can burn out the motor.
When replacement of nuts and bolts is required, use only
recommended parts as referenced in the parts section of
this manual. This pump uses metric threads. use
English measurement threads.
