The AF series submersible pumps are special industrial pumps designed to pump sludge and water polluted by sand, mud, grit, small solid
and fibre particles as ash, wooden pieces, pieces of textile, food, faeces, greases and various street sewage. The maximum temperature of
the liquid being pumped is 40C. The maximum density of the pumped liquid is 1,150kg/m3. The content of impurities may constitute up to
20 % of the weight of granularity 26 to 120 mm (according to the pump size). The pump maximum immersion depth is 30 m at liquid density
of 1,000kg/m3. The real immersion depth is always at least by 1 m shorter than the supply cable length.
The pumps are widely used particularly in wastewater treatment plants, building, mining and ore-mining industry, excavation and
amelioration works, in removing flood consequences, drainage of tunnels, sewers and reservoirs containing solid substances. The allowed
pH of the pumped liquid ranges from 6 to 9.
The AL series portable submersible pumps are special pumps designed to pump wastewater polluted by mechanical impurities mainly of
non-abrasive character, as e.g. mud, ash, wooden pieces, sewage etc. and in smaller extent also of abrasive character as well, e.g. sand,
sandy grit etc. When using for pumping wastewater containing substances of abrasive character, it is necessary to expect an increased
wear and tear of the hydraulic part, gufero sealing, shaft and the sealing. The maximum temperature of the pumped liquid is 35C. The
maximum density of the pumped liquid is 1,100 kg/m3. The maximum immersion depth of the pumps is 10 m at liquid density of 1,000
kg/m3. The real immersion depth is always at least by 1 m shorter than the supply cable length.
The pumps are widely used particularly in building industry, excavation and amelioration works, in removing flood consequences, drainage
of flooded cellars, basements, septic tanks and wastewater reservoirs etc. The allowed pH of the pumped liquid ranges from 6 to 9.
The BF series portable submersible pumps are special pumps designed for pumping wastewater polluted with mechanical impurities of
mainly non-abrasive character, as e.g. mud, ash, wooden pieces, sewage etc. and in smaller extent also of abrasive character, as e.g.
sand, sandy grit etc. When using for pumping wastewater containing substances of abrasive character, it is necessary to expect an
increased wear and tear of the hydraulic part, gufero sealing, shaft and the sealing. The maximum temperature of the pumped liquid is
35C. The maximum density of the pumped liquid is 1,100 kg/m3. The maximum immersion depth of the pumps is 10 m at liquid density of
1,000 kg/m3. The real immersion depth is always at least by 1 m shorter than the supply cable length. The pumps are widely used
particularly in building industry, excavation and amelioration works, in removing flood consequences as drainage of flooded cellars,
basements, septic tanks and wastewater reservoirs etc. The allowed pH of the pumped liquid ranges from 6 to 9.
The SS series portable submersible pumps are special industrial pumps made entirely from stainless steel and designed for pumping
aggressive wastewater polluted with mechanical impurities of mainly non-abrasive character, as e.g. mud, ash, wooden pieces, sewage
etc. and in smaller extant also of abrasive character, as e.g. sand, sandy grit etc. When using for pumping wastewater containing
substances of abrasive character, it is necessary to expect an increased wear and tear of the hydraulic part, gufero sealing, shaft and the
sealing. The maximum temperature of the pumped liquid is 35C. The maximum density of the pumped liquid is 1,100 kg/m3. The
maximum immersion depth of the pumps is 10 m at liquid density of 1,000 kg/m3. The real immersion depth is always at least by 1 m
shorter than the supply cable length and at the same time it must not exceed the maximum immersion depth. The pumps are widely used
particularly in draining tanks and reservoirs in chemical, pharmaceutical and food-processing industry and wherever it is necessary to pump
aggressive and caustic substances or liquids, the nature of which requires the hydraulic parts of the pumps to be made of stainless steel.
The allowed pH of the pumped liquid ranges from 2 to 14.
The SF series portable submersible pumps are special industrial pumps made entirely from stainless steel and designed for pumping
aggressive wastewater polluted with mechanical impurities of mainly non-abrasive character, as e.g. mud, ash, wooden pieces, sewage

Connection to power supply according to the label information.

IN NO CASE MAY the L series pumps BE STARTED UP AND OPERATED INTO A CLOSED DELIVERY!!
RISK OF ACCIDENT!!!
The right direction of rotation.
In any and all handling, use, connection, maintenance and repairs it is necessary to observe the national
rules, standards and regulations in force.
Lift or let down the pump using the handle or chain or hanger a not the supply cable.
When hanging the pump on a rope or chain it is necessary to avoid rotation or rotating swinging around the
vertical axis of the pump. This will prevent from a possible damage of the supply cable.
When refilling and checking the oil it is necessary to make sure that there is always undamaged sealing
under the plugs and that the plugs are properly tightened.
All screw joints must be duly tightened and secured against loosening.
Before re-commissioning after a few-week operation pause it is necessary to make several turns of the
impeller wheel.
If it is freezing, the pump must not be left in water that could get frozen in the pump if out of operation.
A special attention must be paid to the supply cable terminal and if there is any damage found, the terminal
must be replaced immediately.
Prior to any manipulation in the electric part of the pump it is necessary to disconnect the pump from the
power supply and to prevent from the possibility of accidental reconnection to the power supply. The same
applies also in case of maintenance and adjustments of rotating parts.
A little pollution of the liquid by the refill oil cannot be excluded (e.g. in case of worn seal).
Submersible pump works may not be carried if connected to the power supply.
Pumps may not be used in swimming pools if there are any people in there.
Submersible pump works are not designed for use in combustion risk areas.
During the connecting, checks and inspections it is necessary to observe the national standards and
regulations in force.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF PUMPS

HCP submersible sludge pumps are one-stage sludge pumps designed for various loads and various types
of operation.
4.0.1 AF series designed for maximum loads and permanent operation. Three types of impeller wheels are used
in this series.
P-TYPE IMPELLER WHEEL: Single-blade semi-open impeller wheel fitted with a wolfram strip chopping
fibre materials thus preventing from clogging the wheel.
U-TYPE IMPELLER WHEEL: Vortical impeller wheel enables that the pump can convey media containing
solid particles and long-fibre substances without going through the impeller wheel. The wheels have good
resistance against clogging.
E-TYPE IMPELLER WHEEL: Closed, one-channel two-blade impeller wheel characteristic for great delivery
height. Very efficient for pumping waste waters containing solid particles.
4.0.2 AL, BF series - these are portable sludge pumps with open impeller wheels, either single-blade or multiblade, depending on type
4.0.3 SS, SF series stainless-steel portable pumps designed for pumping aggressive waste waters, the impeller
wheels are open, either single-blade or multi-blade, depending on type
4.0.4 AS series portable sludge pumps with multi-blade impeller wheel made from a special alloy with high
content of chrome (HCR). Having been heat-processed, this alloy is very hard and resistant against abrasion.
4.0.5 GF series industrial pumps fitted with open, multi-blade wheel and a special cutting device
4.0.6. L series industrial pumps fitted with axial or diagonal bronze impeller wheel.
Electric motor constitutes a single assembly with the pump. The impeller has an extended shaft for the
impeller wheel attachment. It is bedded in roller bearings lubricated by grease. The service life of the grease
refill of the bearings is identical with the service life of the bearings. The hydraulic part of the pump and the
electric motor is divided by double mechanical sealing fitted with sealing surfaces from sintered carbides.
The sealing is greased and cooled by oil from the oil pan. The media side of the sealing is fitted with
additional gufero sealing.
The supply cable terminates from the cable box area in the form of a cable terminal sealed in the lid of the
cable box in order to avoid penetration of water. The individual cables are sealed in with a special resin
preventing from penetration of water.
The pumps are fitted with a heat protection (except for AL and BF-01 sizes with thermoregulator) to protect
the motor against overheating as a result of a high temperature or should an inter-phase failure occur during
the start-up period or a voltage decrease, or should the impeller wheel become clogged.
The pump must be operated with an appropriate control and protective device.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
The pump can be transported in both vertical and horizontal position. It must be firmly
anchored in order not to tip over or roll away.

When handling, hang the pump for the hanger only; never stretch the cable by pulling it in the axis
direction!!
When it is freezing, it is necessary to leave the pump submerged in a non-freezing liquid or to pull the pump out and
dry up. Should any left water freeze in the hydraulic enclosure, submerge the pump in a liquid, never use flame for
defrosting.

During a longer storage or operation pause of the pump it is necessary:

To make time to time a few revolutions, so that the mechanical seal sealing rings do not get caked (about 1x
per 2 months); in storage longer than 6 months this is necessary;
To place the pump in a dry place.
After a longer storage or operation pause of the pump it is necessary to carry out inspections as if before
commissioning.
The pumps can be stored within temperature range from 25C to +55C. For a short period not exceeding 24 hours
the pumps can be stored at temperature up to +70C.

ALLOWABLE VOLTAGE DECREASE IS 10 % OF NOMINAL VOLTAGE
THREE-PHASE PUMP MUST ROTATE IN CLOCK-WISE DIRECTION IF LOOKING FROM THE MOTOR
DIRECTION (THE UPPER COVER OR DELIVERY BRANCH). IF IT ROTATES OTHERWISE, IT IS
NECESSARY TO CHANGE TWO PHASE WIRES IN THE DISTRIBUTING FRAME OR THE CIRCUIT
BREAKER. THE SINGLE-PHASE PUMPS ARE DESIGNED AS RIGHT RUNNING.
THE WATER LEVEL MUST ALWAYS BE HIGHER THAN THE PUMP BODY (EXCEPT FOR THE "AS"
AND "L" SERIES WHERE THE LIQUID BEING PUMPED FLOWS AROUND THE ELECTRIC MOTOR)
NEVER START AND OPERATE THE PUMP "DRY".
MAKE SURE THAT THE VOLTAGE IS IDENTICAL WITH THE DATA ON THE PUMP LABEL

5.3 COMMISSIONING

Before commissioning it is necessary to carry out inspection of the electric part, particularly:
To check whether the pump supply cable is not damaged
To check the correct setting of the current protection
To check the protection against risky contact voltage

5.4 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRIC DEVICES

In any handling of the pump it is necessary to disconnect the pump from the power supply and to
make sure that the pump cannot be re-connected accidentally.
Submersible pump works may not be carried if the electric motor is switched on.
Should a defect of electric equipment or the submersible pump be found during maintenance, the
pump must be switched off immediately and the defect must be announced to a person with electrotechnical qualification.

5.5 MAINTENANCE
In more frequent use the electric apparatus must be checked at least 1x per month, in episodic use 1x per six
months and before any commissioning by a person having electro-technical qualification according to
the national standards and regulations in force.
It is necessary to check, in particular, the protection against a risky contact voltage and the integrity of the
supply cable or the pump. Cable replacement and repairs of other parts of the pump where the sealing
surfaces are being loosened must be carried out by a service centre or repair shop as it is necessary to
make sure that the sealing parts being disassembled are waterproof tightened again.
Warning: Any works on the pump involving disassembly of the cable box enclosure, electric
connection, disconnection of the motor and replacement of the cable must be carried
out by an expert with an appropriate qualification observing the national standards and
regulations on connecting electric connections in force.
The supply cable MUST NOT be connected by ignorant and incompetent person.

PUMP OPERATION

6.1

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Before commissioning the pump it is necessary to make the operating personnel acquainted with the
instructions contained herein that are necessary for proper and safe operation. An emphasis is laid on the
necessity to observe this requirement as the product works in wet environment, which represents an extra
risk regarding the risk of injury by electric current.

After having the pump connected to the power supply it is necessary to verify the proper direction
of rotation. This can be done by putting a small pump (up to 1.1 kW) on the ground, tilting it a bit
on a side (so that the pump stands on the circumference edge of the frame), gripping by the
handle and turning the motor on for a moment. If the direction of rotation is wrong, proceed
according to chapter 5.0 electric connection.
In case of big pumps you can check the direction of rotation as follows:
Hang the pump on a rope or chain and turn the motor on for a moment.
If the pump "starts" opposite the direction of the "ROTATION" arrow placed on the pump box,
the direction of rotation is correct.
Should the pump "start" in the opposite direction, the direction of rotation is wrong and it is
necessary to proceed according to chapter 5.0 electric connection. In big pumps the "start"
can be very powerful.
Warning the pump must be installed in vertical position ONLY. If the pump is installed in different
position, it is not possible to file a claim.
Deaerate the dump tank or septic tank in accordance with the local rules and regulations.
When pumping from a reservoir where loose materials are deposited, it is not suitable to put the
pump on these sediments as for one the pump will "bury" itself and then the functional surfaces of
the hydraulic part will get worn uselessly. In such case it is necessary to place a hard bearing plate
under the stand if it is not possible to hang the pump.
Do not place the pump in mud or sand. Do not allow the pump get clogged with particles of various
kinds.
A delivery hose or pipe must be connected to the delivery flange of the pump. The recommended
materials the hose should be made of are PVC, rubber etc. The pipe should be made of plastic or
steel. The material must always be resistant towards the medium being pumped.
Use only hoses and pipes of correct size, otherwise the delivery head of the pump can become
lower and subsequently the delivered amount will be reduced. And in addition to this, the hose or
pipe might get clogged.
For hanging the pump we recommend to use chain or steel rope. The chain size or diameter of the
steel rope must be chosen with respect to the pump weight (chapter 3.0) and additional load in the
maximum immersion depth of the pump in relation to the specific density of the liquid being
pumped, so that the safety coefficient k > 3 is observed. In pumps of the SS and SF series the
material the chain or rope is made must be resistant to the medium being pumped.
Pumps usually become warm. In order to avoid burns let the pump cool down after switching it off
for about 20 minutes before you start to manipulate with it.
Do not let the pump run idle. The pump may get overheated and in such case you cannot file a
claim.
The pipe must not be smaller than the pump delivery branch. The pipe must be able to convey
medium with solid particles. The flow rate speed in the delivery pipe must be sufficient enough for
carrying any solid particles dispersed in the liquid. In order to meet this requirement, the minimum
speed of 0.6 m/s is required.
The version fitted with the starting device (TOS) consists of the starting device and the pump itself.
The starting device is manufactured by HCP PUMP MFR CO, LTD P.O.BOX 236, PING TUNG
TAIWAN.

Picture of the GF pump lowering device

6.2.14 The starting device consists of the following parts:

Body of the starting device
2x guiding stick (not included in the shipment provided by customer according to the necessary
length)
Shifting hook
Upper holder of guiding sticks
Stainless-steel chain in the length of 3 m
6.2.15 Attach the SD body to the reservoir bottom using base bolts embedded in concrete. Treat the bolts
and nuts with anti-corrosion preparation. On the body, there are two benches for seating the
guiding sticks that are attached by the upper holder up in the inlet hole. During installation it is
necessary to make sure that the guiding poles are in vertical position. Remove the stand or legs
(according to the type) and the counter-flange and attach the shifting hook to the spiral delivery
branch. Let the pump go down in the reservoir using the poles. The shifting hook will automatically
fit in the body. It is possible to take the pump out for a possible revision or repair without any need
to disassemble anything.
6.2.16 The cables must not be slack under the pump as they could be sucked in the hydraulic
area (We recommend to attach the cable to the steel rope or chain, on which you cast the pump
down, approximately every 2 m).
6.2.17 Before casting the pump down the shaft must be cleaned of any abrasive and large dirt.
6.2.18 Before casting the pump down it is necessary to check whether the pump is properly seated on the
delivery knee pipe before the reservoir is filled in for the first time.

6.3

MECHANICAL INSPECTION

Consists in visual examination of the pump regarding its mechanical conditions.

Check particularly the following:
Integrity of the supply cable and attachment thereof in the terminal. Also make sure that the terminal cover is
sufficiently tightened by nuts so that the supply cable is properly sealed.
The extent of the wear and tear of parts caused by operation. In particular, pay attention to the impeller
wheel, sucking lid, spiral and mechanical sealing, in the GF series also to the cutter body and circular knife.

OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

7.1

GENERALLY
7.1.1 During operation the pump does not need any maintenance if the condition according to art. 5.2 is
met. Then it is also necessary to make sure that the delivery hose is not bended "broken" as this
significantly reduces the pump performance, and check whether the hose is not pushed on sharp
edges of structures, stones etc.
7.1.2 When it is freezing, it is necessary to leave the pump submerged in a non-freezing liquid or take it
out, cleanse and dry out. Should ever any water left in the hydraulic area get frozen, submerge the
pump in a liquid, never use flame for defrosting.
7.1.3 After pumping liquids leaving sediments and soil in the hydraulic part it is necessary to flush the
pump immediately after taking it out with clean water. It is suitable to carry out the flushing after
every use.
7.1.4 In order to prevent from running the pump dry it is recommended to monitor the height of the
minimum level. For continuous operation the level of liquid must be at least above the motor area,
so that the motor will not get overheated.
7.1.5 When commissioning a new pump or after a longer operation pause we recommend making a few
revolutions by the impeller.
7.1.6 IN NO CASE MAY the "L" series pumps BE STARTED UP AND OPERATED INTO A CLOSED
DELIVERY!! RISK OF ACCIDENT!!!
7.1.7 The heat protection against overloading (thermoregulator in sizes AL-01 and BF01) protects the
motor against burning as a consequence of overheating or overloading. When the motor cools
down, the protection against motor overloading is reset and the motor starts up again. If overloading
occurs frequently, examine the cause thereof, which may consist in clogged impeller wheel,
incorrect low voltage, incorrect heat breaker or a defect in the motor wiring. Should any defect of
electric motor be presumed, replace the stator and the shaft assembly.
7.1.8 Lubrication the motor bearings are filled with permanent grease refill and do not require any
additional greasing. The pumps are not fitted with bearing thermoregulators and sensor for
detection of oil refill leakage from the sealing area. Upon customers request the AF and GF series
pumps can be fitted for additional price with sensor of water leakage in the seal area.
7.1.9 Examine the pump performance by checking the delivery. Make sure that the pump does not vibrate
and that it does not make noise.

7.2 PUMP AND OIL REFILL INSPECTION

The first inspection of the pump and the oil refill is carried out after a month of operation. In case of the L
series after a year or 5,000 hours of operation (depending what occurs first). The next inspection should be
carried out according to the plan of inspections of the technological facility the pump is part of, however, at
least once per year.
We recommend entrusting the checking or replacement of the oil refill to a service centre.
Take the pump out of the reservoir, clean it and submerge it at least for one hour into a disinfecting
solution or neutralizing agent. After that put the pump on a levelled base and check it.
7.2.7 The pump Make sure that the bolts are tightened, check the conditions of the starting device (if
being part of the pump) and hanger, electric cable, terminal, and wear and tear of the impeller wheel
and the cutter body and the circular knife in the GF series.
When tightening the bolts, the following tightening torques must be applied:

7.2.2 Oil After unscrewing the oil drain plug the oil level must reach to about 10 mm under the downer
edge of the hole. If the level is in the proper height, screw the oil drain plug back and tighten it. When
screwing the plug make sure that the contact surfaces are clean and the sealing is not damaged. We
recommend entrusting the checking or replacement of the oil refill to a service centre. The oil refill

14

service life is about 40,000 to 50,000 hours of operation under usual conditions. The oil used the
turbine oil according to ISO WG 32.

7.3 SERVICE, REPAIRS

7.6 PUMP DISPOSAL

In operation or disposal of the equipment it is necessary to observe the respective national regulations on
environment and waste disposal. In case that the equipment will have to be scrapped, it is necessary to
proceed in the disposal thereof according to the differentiated waste rules, which means that differences in
the materials and their composition must be respected (e.g. metals, plastics, rubber etc.). When applying the
rules of the differentiated wastes it is necessary to contact specializes companies dealing with collection of
these materials while respecting the local rules and regulations in force.
