red lion RLSP-100 User Manual

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Have an electrician provide electrical power to the motor.
• Motor must be grounded and terminal cover in place to
reduce electrical shock hazard.
• Keep motor operating area as dry as possible.
• A ground fault interrupter (GFI) protected circuit is
recommended for use with any electrical device operating
near water.
• Always disconnect power before servicing.
• Not investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
WARNING - ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
All wiring, electrical connections, and system grounding must
comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and with any local
codes and ordinances. Employ a licensed electrician. For non-
thermally protected motors use with approved motor control that
matches motor input in full load amperes with overload element(s)
selected or adjusted in accordance with control instructions.
SAFETY
CAUTION
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS PUMP DRY!
• Review instructions before operating.
CAREFULLY READ THESE SAFETY
MESSAGES IN THIS MANUAL AND ON PUMP.
FOR DUAL VOLTAGE MOTORS:
Voltage change instructions are located on motor label or on wiring
access cover.
PERFORMANCE
This pump is suitable for installations where the vertical distance
from the pump to the water level does not exceed 25 ft. In all
installations, friction losses in the suction pipe must be taken into
consideration.

Summary

SAFETY WARNINGS

General Safety

CAUTION: CAREFULLY READ THESE SAFETY MESSAGES IN THIS MANUAL AND ON PUMP.

Dry Operation Warning

DO NOT OPERATE THIS PUMP DRY! Review instructions before operating.

Electrical Precautions

WARNING - ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS: All wiring, electrical connections, and system grounding must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and with any local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Shock Hazard

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Have an electrician provide electrical power to the motor. Motor must be grounded and terminal cover in place.

APPLICATION

Installation Depth Limit

This pump is suitable for installations where the vertical distance from the pump to the water level does not exceed 25 ft.

VOLTAGE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

2 HP Models

Wiring instructions for 2 HP models, covering 115V and 230V connections.

INSTALLATION

Pump Location

Install the pump in a clean, dry, and ventilated location that provides adequate drainage, room for servicing, and protection from freezing temperatures.

Suction Pipe Requirements

Use only new, clean pipe or hose the same size as that of the pump suction tapping. Increase pipe size for longer runs.

Electrical Installation Safety

WARNING: Make sure voltage and frequency agree with motor nameplate. Comply with NEC and local codes.

Single Phase Wiring

Determine incoming voltage to motor. Where possible, use 230V. Connect wiring to terminal board.

THREE-PHASE

Checking Motor Rotation

Three-phase motors require magnetic starters. Check rotation and reverse leads if necessary.

GROUNDING THE MOTOR

Electrical Code Compliance

WIRING TO THIS PUMP MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE OR YOUR LOCAL ELECTRIC CODE.

SUCTION PORT CONNECTION

Pipe and Valve Attachment

Attach the foot valve or well point to pipe assembly and lower into well. Use correct pipe size and fittings.

DISCHARGE PORT CONNECTIONS

Pipe and Fitting Connections

Thread male adapter or pipe nipple into discharge port. Connect pipe between manifold and pump discharge.

IMPELLER ROTATION

Correct Rotation Direction

The impeller must rotate in a counter-clockwise direction as seen facing the pump from the front of the casing.

STARTING THE PUMP

Avoiding Dry Operation

Never operate the pump dry as this may damage the seal. If exceptionally long suction line is used, water may become overheated.

DRAINING

Freezing Protection

Should the pump be subject to freezing temperatures, it will be necessary to drain the pump completely.

PUMP STORAGE

Storage Recommendations

Drain liquid from pump to prevent freezing. Use rust inhibitor for storage. Keep motor dry and covered.

OPERATION

Closed Discharge Warning

WARNING: DO NOT run pump against a closed discharge. This may cause hazardous pressure and risk of explosion.

Priming Requirement

CAUTION: DO NOT run the pump before priming it. The seal and impeller could be permanently damaged.

PUMP PRIMING PROCEDURE

Step-by-Step Priming

Remove plug, open discharge valves, fill pump with water, allow air to escape, replace plug, and start pump.

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

The pump requires no lubrication. For electric motor models, refer to motor manufacturer's instructions.

Disassembly Steps

Covers shutting off power, draining, and removing casing, diffuser, cap, impeller, and seal.

Reassembly Steps

Covers cleaning parts, lubricating seal, reassembling components, reconnecting and priming.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Pump Not Priming or Low Speed

Check casing/suction line, voltage, head, suction lift, air leaks, or clogged impeller/strainer.

Reduced Capacity or Head

Address issues like high suction lift, head exceeding limits, worn impeller, or air leaks.

Pump Loses Prime

Check for excessive suction lift, operating near shut-off, or low water level uncovering suction piping.

Mechanical Issues and Noise

Inspect for bent shaft, damaged bearings, or improperly supported piping.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Warranty Coverage Details

Covers defects in material or workmanship for 24 months from purchase. Excludes damage from misuse, improper installation, etc.

Warranty Void Conditions

Warranty void if product used improperly, voltage mismatch, operated dry, or tampered with.
