IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Warranty void if product modified, drilled,
painted, or altered in any way; if used to
!
WARNING
pump hot water, or to pump liquids other
than water (such as but not limited to chemicals, fertilizers, flammable liquids, herbicides, mud,
tar, cement, wood chips); or otherwise abused.
1. Before installing or servicing your pump, BE CER-
TAIN pump power source is disconnected.
2. All installation and electrical wiring must adhere to
state and local codes and must be complete before
priming the pump. Check with appropriate community
agencies, or contact your local electrical and pump
professionals.
3. Pump should be installed in a dry, convenient
location which is close to the well and provides ample
space for installation and servicing the well. A dry
basement, pit, or utility room is an excellent choice
when allowed by law.
4. CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT. Pump
should be connected to a separate electrical circuit
directly from main switch. There must be a fuse box or
circuit breaker installed in this line. Plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at motor, resulting in
blown fuses, tripping of motor overload, or burned out
motor. Refer to electrical diagrams on following
page for electrical connections.
5. It is mandatory that a permanent ground connection
be made from the pump to the grounding bar at the
service panel. Do not connect pump to a power supply
until permanently grounded. For maximum safety,
ground the pump to a circuit equipped with a fault
interrupter device.
6. Motor Grounding Instructions: WARNING
Reduced risk of electric shock during operation of this
pump requires the provision of acceptable grounding.
Caution: Failure to ground this unit properly may
result in severe electrical shock. If the means of
connection to the supply-connection box is other than
grounded metal conduit, ground the pump back to the
service by connecting a copper conductor, at least the
size of the circuit conductors supplying the pump, to the
grounding screw provided within the wiring compartment. NOTE: N.E.C. requires pumps be grounded at
installation.
7. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of
the pump which is factory preset to 115V, but may be
rewired for 230V (see following page).
8. During installation, cover well to prevent foreign
matter from contaminating the well or later damaging
the pump during operation. Test well water for purity.
Chlorination may be necessary. Check local Health
Department for proper testing and recommendations.
9. Hand pump new wells until clear. Sand or other
sediment will seriously damage the pump.
10.The 7-gallon diaphragm pressure tank is factory
preset to 30 PSI. It must be reset to 18 PSI for
proper system operation. Use an air gauge to
measure pressure in tank as air is released.
11. The following may cause severe damage to pump
and/or piping and will void warranty:
• Failure to protect pump and piping against below
freezing temperatures.
• Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
• Running the pump dry. Follow priming instructions
on pages 4 or 8, depending on the installation.
•
Using extension cords.
•
Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids.
•
Using this pump in or near a swimming pool.

FINDING THE DEPTH OF YOUR WELL
The jet tank system installs differently depending
on the depth of your well. Tie a small but heavy
weight to the end of a piece of string (be sure there is
enough string; some wells are very deep). Lower the
weight into the well until it reaches the bottom. Take up
the slack and mark the string at ground level. Pull the
weight out of the well and measure from the bottom of
the weight to the ground level mark. This is the depth
of your well. Subtract five feet from the depth of your
well. This number should not exceed the maximum
rated depth for your pump. If it does, it will greatly
hinder or prevent the proper operation of the pump.
115V OR 230V OPERATION
Your pump is equipped with one of two types of dual
voltage motors. Follow the instructions to wire the
motor for the proper voltage. The voltage of the pump
must match the voltage of the power supply.
