SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the following signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury:

DANGER warns about hazards that will cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

WARNING warns about hazards that can cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

CAUTION warns about hazards that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.

The label NOTICE indicates special instructions which are important but not related to hazards.

Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual and on pump.

Keep safety labels in good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety labels.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death.

Ground pump before connecting to power supply.

Wire motor for

correct voltage.

See “Electrical” section of this manual and motor nameplate.

Ground motor before connecting to power

supply.

Meet National Electrical Code, Canadian

Electrical Code, and local codes for all wiring.

Follow wiring instructions in this manual

when connecting motor to power lines.

Make workshops childproof; use padlocks and master switches; remove starter keys.

Do not touch an operating motor.

Modern motors are designed to operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns when servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shut-down before handling.

GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING

Hazardous pressure! Do not run pump

against closed discharge.

Release all pressure on system before working on any component.

Pump is designed as a lawn sprinkler only. To avoid heat built-up, over pressure hazard and possible injury, do not use in a pressure tank (domestic water) system. Do not use as a booster pump; pressurized suction may cause pump body to explode.

Do not allow pump or piping system to freeze. Freezing can damage pump and pipe, may lead to injury from equipment failure and will void warranty.

Pump water only with this pump.

Periodically inspect pump and system components.

Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.

Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted; store properly all unused tools and equipment.

Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.

NOTICE: Well must not be more than 20' depth to water.

1.Long runs and many fittings increase friction and reduce flow. Locate pump as close to well as possible: use as few elbows and fittings as possible.

2.Be sure well is clear of sand. Sand will plug the pump and void the warranty.

3.Protect pump and all piping from freezing. Freezing will split pipe, damage pump and void the warranty. Check locally for frost protection requirements (usually pipe must be 12" below frost line and pump must be insulated).

4.Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in good shape.

5.No air pockets in suction pipe.

6.No leaks in suction pipe. Use Teflon tape or PlastoJoint Stik to seal pipe joints.

7.Unions installed near pump and well will aid in servicing. Leave room to use wrenches.

8. Pump body may explode if used as a booster pump. DO NOT use in a booster application.

NOTICE: Use the installation method below which matches your well type.

CASED WELL INSTALLATION

1.Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect strainer to be sure it is clean.

2.Connect foot valve and strainer to the first length of suction pipe and lower pipe into well. Add sections of pipe as needed, using Teflon tape on male threads. Be sure that all suction pipe is leakproof or pump will lose prime and fail to pump. Install foot valve 10 to 20 feet below the lowest level to which water will drop while pump is operating (pumping water level). Your well driller can furnish this information.

3.To prevent sand and sediment from entering the pumping system, the foot valve/strainer should be at least 5 feet above the bottom of the well.

4.When the proper depth is reached, install a sanitary well seal over the pipe and in the well casing. Tighten the bolts to seal the casing.

5.When using a foot valve, a priming tee and plug as shown in Figure 5 are recommended.

DUG WELL INSTALLATION

Same as cased well installation.

DRIVEN POINT INSTALLATION

1.Connect the suction pipe to the drive point as illustrated in Figure 6. Keep horizontal pipe run as short as possible. Use Teflon tape on male pipe threads. Multiple well points may be necessary to provide sufficient water to pump.

2.Install a check valve in horizontal pipe. Flow arrow on check valve must point toward pump.

HORIZONTAL PIPING FROM WELL TO PUMP

1.Never install a suction pipe that is smaller than the suction port of the pump.

2.To aid priming on well point installations, install a line check valve as shown in Figure 6. Be sure check valve flow arrow points toward pump.

DISCHARGE PIPE SIZES

1.If increasing discharge pipe size, install reducer in pump discharge port. Do not increase pipe size by stages.

2.When the pump is set away from the points of water use, the discharge pipe size should be increased to reduce pressure losses caused by friction.

•Up to 100' run: Same size as pump discharge port.

•100' to 300' run: Increase one pipe size.

•300' to 600' run: Increase two pipe sizes.

LAWN SPRINKLING APPLICATION

This pump is designed for lawn sprinkling. It is designed to deliver plenty of water at full sprinkler pressure. It can pump from a pond, cistern or well points.

Pump discharge can be divided to supply two (2) or more sprinkler systems. A suggested multiple discharge to service is shown in Figure 7.

Do not use in a pressure tank or booster pump application.

Pump/Piping Installation

PUMP INSTALLATION

NOTICE: Use only Teflon tape or Teflon based joint compounds for making all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in the pump components. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.

1. Bolt pump to solid, level foundation.

532 0405

Figure 8 – Bolt Pump Down

2. Support all piping connected to the pump.

530 0405

Figure 9 – Independently Support All Piping Attached to Pump

3.Wrap 1-1/2 to two layers of Teflon tape clockwise (as you face end of pipe) on all male threads being attached to pump.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death. Disconnect power to motor before working on pump or motor. Ground motor before connecting to power supply.

WIRING

Ground motor before connecting to electrical

power supply. Failure to ground motor can cause severe or fatal electrical shock hazard.

Do not ground to a gas supply line.

To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to motor before working on

electrical connections.

Supply voltage must be within ±10% of nameplate voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause fire or damage motor and voids warranty. If

in doubt consult a licensed electrician.

Use wire size specified in Wiring Chart (Page 7). If possible, connect pump to a separate branch

circuit with no other appliances on it.

Wire motor according to diagram on motor nameplate. If nameplate diagram differs from

diagrams above, follow nameplate diagram.

1.Install, ground, wire and maintain this pump in accordance with electrical code requirements. Consult your local building inspector for information about codes.

2.Provide a correctly fused disconnect switch for protection while working on motor. Consult local or national electrical codes for switch requirements.

3.Disconnect power before servicing motor or pump. If the disconnect switch is out of sight of pump, lock it open and tag it to prevent unexpected power application.

4.Ground the pump permanently using a wire of the same size as that specified in wiring chart (Page 7).

Make ground connection to green grounding terminal under motor canopy marked GRD. or .

Operation

PRIMING THE PUMP

NOTICE: ‘Priming’ refers to the pump expelling all air in the system and beginning to move water from its source out into the system. It does not refer only to pouring water into the pump (although pouring water in is usually the first step).

NOTICE: NEVER run pump dry. Running pump without water in it will damage seals and can melt impeller and diffuser. To prevent damage, fill pump with water before starting.

1. Remove priming plug (Figure 14).

Figure 14 – Remove Priming Plug619 0405

2.Make sure suction and discharge valves and any hoses on discharge side of pump are open.

3.Fill pump and suction pipe with water.

4.Replace priming plug, using Teflon tape on thread; tighten plug.

NOTICE: If a priming tee and plug have been provided for a long horizontal run, be sure to fill suction pipe through this tee and replace plug. (Don’t forget to Teflon tape the plug.)

5.Start pump: water should be produced in 10 minutes or less, the time depending on depth to water (not more than 20') and length of horizontal run (10' of horizontal suction pipe = 1' of vertical lift due to friction losses in the pipe).

If no water is produced within 10 minutes, stop pump, release all pressure, remove priming plug, refill and try again.

Figure 16 – Run Ten Minutes or Less

Hazardous pressure and risk of explosion and scalding. If pump is run continuously at no flow (that is, with discharge shut off or without priming), water may boil in pump and piping system. Under steam pressure, pipes may rupture, blow off of fittings or blow out of pump ports and scald anyone near.

618 0405

Figure 15 – Fill Pump Before Starting

1117 0993

Figure 17 – Do Not Run Pump with Discharge Shut-off

To prevent explosion, do the following:

A.Be sure discharge (valve, pistol grip hose nozzle, etc.) is open whenever pump is running.

B.If pump fails to produce water, release all pressure, drain pump and refill with cold water after every two attempts.

C.When priming, monitor pump and piping temperature. If pump or piping begin to feel warm to the touch, shut off pump and allow system to cool off. Release all pressure in system and refill pump and piping with cold water.
