NOTE
The coupling clamp contains a grooved portion on the inside. Locate the grooved part toward the
coupling. The clamp halves may not close completely before screws are tight; 1/32-inch is an
acceptable gap, however, if the clamp closes completely before the screws are tight, loosen screws and
move the clamp higher on the coupling taper.
(4)
Assemble the coupling clamp onto the hose and install the screws. Tighten the screws evenly. Then, using
a torque wrench, tighten the screws to 4.4 ft-lbs.
(5) Install the nipple in the check valve; then install the check valve to the hose coupling. Attach the
submersible pump to the hose assembly.
(6) Loosen both nuts of the hose elevator clamp and move the swing bolt aside. Position the clamp half with the
lifting loop to the side of the drop hose opposite the cable ridge.
(7) Close the hose elevator clamp on the hose and reposition the swing bolt. Tighten both nuts finger tight; be
sure the hose is square and centered in the clamp. Tighten both nuts equally, torquing to 40 ft lbs. Be sure
the clamp faces remain parallel.
(8) Attach the auxiliary drum line to the hose elevator clamp. Operate the auxiliary drum to lift the hose and
attached submersible pump.
(9) Position the pump motor upright on a block of wood and maneuver the pump directly over the motor. Slowly
lower the pump, guiding by hand until the pump coupling is over the motor shaft. Rotate the pump to line up
coupling slots with key in motor shaft.
(10) Slowly lower the pump until the pump is very close to contacting the motor; then install screws and
lockwashers.
NOTE
The hardware provided to attach the pump to the motor is stainless steel. No other material may be
substituted.
(11) Check that the pump and motor are lined up properly; then tighten the screws.
b. Splicing Submersible Power Cable. (See details in figure 2-49).
NOTE
When the power cable and motor leads are not the same size, select a connector for the larger size
cable. Strands of copper wire should be used together with smaller cable to fill connector.
