SEWAGE EJECTION PUMP (SEP)
OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
SITING, ASSEMBLY, AND PREPARATION FOR USE
Siting Requirements
When deployed as part of Force Provider, the SEP will be staked as a part of the Force Provider site
preparation. Considerations determining site location include:
Site must be level and free of rocks and debris. Hardstand is preferable.
Site should be located approximately level with both the facilities it handles and the Force Provider
wastewater grid or collection/disposal facility. Location of the SEP above the level of the facilities it
services diminishes the graywater flow to the SEP. Location of the SEP below the level of the
wastewater grid or collection/disposal facility decreases SEP pump output, and may flood the SEP in the
event the internal check valve fails. The SEP will not discharge at all to a facility more than 28-feet (8.5-
meters) above its location.
Site must be accessible by forklift; again, hardstand is preferred.
Site must be located within operating distance of facilities to be connected.
Lift and Move the SEP
WARNING
The Sewage Ejection Pump (SEP) is moved with a forklift or other
approved method of transport. Ensure that all personnel are clear
of the area when moving the SEP. Personnel can be seriously
injured or killed by a falling SEP.
Lifting
CAUTION
The Sewage Ejection Pump (SEP) must be lifted in order to be
moved. Do not drag or push the SEP. Do not attempt to move the
SEP until it is completely disconnected from all hoses.
Movement of the SEP requires a forklift.
Hoisting/Stacking
SEPs may be safely stacked two (2) high.
