ST4125G/ST6125G — GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multiquip Model ST4125G and ST6125G submersible pumps are designed to pump water. These pumps work best when faced with high head applications where you need an appreciable fl ow.
Each pump has dual voltage capability, easily switched between 230 and 460 volts.
These pumps have a heavy-duty cast iron body that is very durable and able to withstand rough handling. The
ST4125G comes with a 4-inch NPT threads for standard hose connections while the ST6125G is equipped with
6-inch fl ange fi tting.
The mechanical seal of these pumps operates within an oil-fi lled chamber that provides positive lubrication. This helps prevent damage in the event the pump is run dry for short periods of time.

Figure 2. Submersible Pump Components
Figure 2 shows the location of the basic components, for the ST4125G and ST6125G submersible pumps. Listed below is a brief explanation of each component.
1. Strainer Base – This strainer base is made of stainless steel which is resistant to hardware corrosion. For dewatering purposes, always place the strainer base on a platform.
2. Volute/Impeller – Impellers are constructed of cast ductile iron to minimize wear and prolong service life.
3. Electric Motor – The ST4125G pump utilizes a 60
Hz, three-phase, 230/460 VAC, 10 HP electric motor and the ST6125G pump utilizes a 60 Hz, three-phase,
230/460 VAC, 15 HP electric motor. Consult with a licensed electrician before connecting motor to a power source. Observe all city and local safety codes.
4. Discharge Port – Connect a 4-inch hose (ST4125G) or 6-inch hose (ST6125G) to this port. Remember to adequately support the discharge hose to avoid stress on the pump.
5. AC Power Cable – These pumps are supplied with a
50 ft. (15.2 meters) AC power cable. Always check the cable for signs of wear. NEVER use a defective power cable. Replace the cable immediately if the cable is worn or defective.
6. Eye Bolts – Always lift the submersible pump by the eye bolts using a chain and lifting device capable of lifting about 400 lbs. NEVER lift the pump by its power cord! Lifting the pump by the power cord will cause undue stress on the cord and ultimately the cord will become dislodged from the pump.
7. Mechanical Seal Oil – This oil-fi lled seal provides lubrication when running the pump dry. NEVER run the pump dry! Running the pump dry will cause severe damage to the pump.
8. Mechanical Seal Oil Plug – Remove this plug to check and add ISO VG32 lubrication oil, Mobile DTE
24, turbine oil 90 or equivalent to the oil chamber. This oil protects the mechanical seal. Oil chamber should be full enough to cover seal spring.

CB12/CB14 Control Boxes
For remote pumping applications, both submersible pumps, require a control box (Figure 7).
The CB12 control box requires 230VAC, 3-phase input voltage for normal operation, while the CB14 control box requires 460VAC, 3-phase input voltage. Reference Table 3 for the desired heater. The heater size is determined by the the full load amps the pump will draw.
These water-resistant control boxes provide electronic overload protection a watertight enclosure and glands to prevent water from leaking into the box, and a fl oat switch interface.
Each control box will require the use of two SW-1WOPA fl oat switches, no plug, bare wires for direct connection to the control box. Reference Figure 21 for a schematic reprensentation of the control box.

3. Tighten the connector housing to ensure a tight fi t between the power cord and the connector body. This will prevent the cable from pulling out of the terminal block and also prevent moisture from entering the control box.
4. Connect the other end of the 3-phase input power cord to the voltage source. Remember to provide a means of disconnecting the power from the control box (circuit breaker or quick disconnect switch). Also make sure to provide a good earth ground to the control box.
NOTICE
It is recommended that the power being supplied to the control box ALWAYS be connected to a circuit breaker or a quick disconnect switch. This safety feature allows for quick removal of power from the control box in the event of an emergency.

Lubrication
To check the lubrication oil level of the mechanical seal perform the following:
Checking Lubrication Oil Level
1. Lay the pump (Figure 17) on its side with the oil plug facing upwards.
2. Remove oil fi ll plug.
3. Visually inspect oil plug hole to verify that oil chamber is full enough to cover seal spring.
4. When reinstalling oil fi ll plug, apply tefl on tape to prevent leaking.
WARNING
When removing oil fi ll plug, please note that pressure may have built up in the oil chamber. DO NOT fully remove plug until pressure has been relieved. Turn oil fi ll plug slowly to relieve pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Inspecting Lubrication Oil (Mechanical Seal)
1. Block the oil fi ll opening with a fi nger and roll pump to one side to drain (Figure 18) oil into a small transparent container.
2. If oil is cloudy (milky) or has water in it, indicates that mechanical seal is defective or worn. Replace
mechanical seal.
Changing Lubrication Oil
1. If lubrication oil level is low, block the oil fi ll opening with a fi nger and roll pump to one side to drain oil into a small container.
2. Use a funnel (Figure 17) and fi ll oil chamber with ISO
VG32 lubrication oil or equivalent. Oil chamber capacity is 74.4 oz. (2.2 liters). Fill to 75-80% capacity to allow for expansion. Replace lubrication oil once a year or 3,000 hours.

Impeller Removal
Refer to the the following procedure and Figure 19 for the removal of the impeller.
1. Remove oil plug (item 193) and o-ring (item 194). Drain oil from oil chamber as referenced in Figure 18.
2. Remove suction strainer/ring stand (item 84A).
3. Remove the six suction cover bolts and washers (items
188A/188B) that secure the suction cover (item 189) to the pump housing (item 50). Remove suction cover
(item 189).
4. Remove impeller cap nut (item 188) and washer (item
66) from motor shaft.
5. Remove impeller (item 49), gap washer (item 49A) and impeller key (item 9A) from motor shaft.
6. Reassemble in reverse order.
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
Clearance between impeller and wear plate should be between .011~.019 in. (0.3~0.5 mm). If impeller is defective or badly worn, replace immediately.
Long Term Storage
1. Area must be free from excessive humidity, corrosive gases, vapors or vibrations which might damage the pump.
2. Store pump in a vertical position on a pallet or stand.
3. Coil up the cable, and seal the open end (control box wires) with waterproof tape or a cable cap. This will prevent moisture from penetrating into the motor which could cause severe damage to the windings.
4. Give all unpainted surfaces a light coat of oil or grease to prevent corrosion.
5. If new pumps are stored for more than two months, turn the impeller by hand every two months to prevent the mechanical seal faces from seizing up. Failure to do this may result in seal damage when the pump is started.
Water Tank Storage
1. If an installed pump (immersed in water) has not been in operation for a long period of time, check the insulation resistance and run the pump for 30 minutes every month.
If the pump cannot be run due to lack of water in the tank inspect the pump and turn the impeller by hand each month and prior to putting the pump back into service. If insulation drops below 10 megohms, contact an authorized Multiquip service center.

Electrical Insulation Testing
Why perform electrical insulation testing?
Electrical insulation starts to age as soon as it is made.
Harsh environments, especially those with extreme temperature changes and/or chemical contamination, cause further deterioration of the insulation (power cord).
As a result, personnel safety (electrocution/shock) and power reliability can suffer resulting in higher operating cost and maintenance.
What is Insulation Resistance Testing
Insulation resistance testing applies a regulated stabilized high voltage (Figure 20), typically 500 VDC or greater across a dielectric (power cord). Measuring the amount of
leakage current fl owing through the dielectric will yield a resistive measurement in megohms.
Insulating Material Testing
To verify the integrity of the pump's insulating material
(power cable) it will be necessary to perform an electrical insulation test. Any electrical insulation must have the opposite characteristic as the conductor: it should resist the fl ow of current, keeping it within the conductor.
To measure the IR (current x resistance), the use of an IR tester must be employed. This IR tester is a portable device that is a resistance meter (ohmmeter) with a built in DC generator that develops a high DC voltage.
The high DC voltage from the IR tester is usually 500 VDC or more. This voltage, when applied causes a small current to fl ow through and over the insulation's surfaces. The tester provides a direct reading of IR in megohms.
A high resistance reading would indicate a "good" insulation, meaning very little current is escaping through the insulation. While a relatively low resistance reading would indicate a poor insulation, meaning a signifi cant amount of current may be leaking through and along the insulation.
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
Insulation resistance is moisture and temperature sensitive. When temperature increases, insulation resistance decreases, and vice versa.
When performing this test measurement, perform the test using the same test parameters as used in the initial testing. Contact an authorized Multiquip service center if the measured cable insulation is 10 megohms
or less.

POSSIBLE PROBLEM
Incorrect voltage/amps?
SOLUTION
Check that the proper voltage, 230 or 460 VAC, 60
Hz, 3-phase is being supplied to the pump. Also check that there is an adequate amount of current
(amps) to run the pump. Check power source circuit breaker.
If using fl oat switches check wiring, inspect power cord.
Check electrical connections?
Blown power fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
Impeller locked?
Replace fuse check circuit breaker, check cause of blown fuse or tripped breaker.
Disconnect power cord and check for clogging. Unclog pump. Check overload protection device.
Wet motor windings?
Use multimeter to check motor insulation. Insulation resistance must be approximately 15 megaohms. If resistance is low, disassemble pump motor and bake windings to dry them.
Check for excessive bearing wear, if worn replace bearings. Replace motor if defective.
Defective motor and pump bearings?
Twisted or restricted discharge hose?
Clogged pump strainer?
Lay hose fl at un-kinked. Remove clog from hose line.
Low voltage?
Clean strainer.
Use a voltmeter to check voltage while pump is energized. Voltage must be within ±10%. Check power source (no load and load). If an extension cord is used, make sure it has adequate current-carrying capacity for the required length.See Table 4.
Impeller worn?
Replace impeller.
Defective mechanical seal?
Replace mechanical seal.
Loose Oil Fill Plug?
Tighten securely. Apply tefl on tape.
