DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Always disconnect power source before performing
any work on or near the motor or its connected load.
If the power disconnect point is out-of-sight, lock it in
the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected
application of power. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electrical shock.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when
standing in water as fatal electrical shock could occur.
Disconnect main power before handling unit for ANY
REASON!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
These pumps have not been investigated for use in
swimming pool areas.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well
as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Unit must be securely and adequately electrically
grounded. This can be accomplished by wiring the unit
to a ground metal-clad raceway system or by using a
separate ground wire connected to the bare metal of
the motor frame or other suitable means.
CHEMICAL ALERT.
This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY OCCUR
Protect the power cable from coming in contact with
sharp objects.
HOT SURFACE MAY CAUSE BURNS
Be careful when touching the exterior of an operating
motor - It may be hot enough to be painful or cause
injury.
PRODUCT DAMAGE MAY RESULT
Make certain that the power source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Replace damaged or worn wiring cord immediately.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Do not kink power cable and never allow the cable
to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or
chemicals.

GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION
Valve
Typical Pump Setup
Typical setups for lawn sprinkler pump systems
include ground water wells (Fig. 1) or surface
water, such as lakes, ponds or streams. (Fig. 3)
Location
For best performance, the pump must be located
as close to the water source as possible and
protected from the elements.
Ventilation
Ventilation and drainage must be provided to
prevent damage to the motor from heat and
moisture.
Freezing
The pump and all piping must be protected from
freezing. If freezing weather is forecast, drain
pump or remove completely from the sprinkler
system.
Water Supply
The water source must be able to supply enough
water to satisfy the capacity of the pump and
water needs. See performance chart.
WARNING: NEVER run pump against a
closed discharge. Doing so can boil water inside
pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk
of explosion and possibly scalding persons
handling pump. (Fig. 2)

Vertical Lift
Vertical lift is the vertical distance from the lowest
level of the water to the pump intake. The pump
will move water as long as the pump is within 25
vertical feet of the water source.
Horizontal Distance
The horizontal distance is the horizontal
measurement between the pump inlet and the
water source. This distance may affect the ability
of the pump to operate. If it is over 150 feet, call
customer service at 1-866-994-4148.
Pipe And Fittings
Use galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule 40
PVC pipe and fittings. This material is designed
for water pressure and will seal against air
and water under pressure. Do Not Use: DWV
fittings, as these are designed for drains without
pressure and will not seal properly.
CAUTION: The entire system must be
air and water tight for efficient operation and to
maintain prime.
Wire Size:
The wire size is determined by the distance from
the breaker box to the pump motor, and the
horsepower rating of the motor. See the wire chart
for proper wire size.

PUMP PREPARATION FOR WELL AND SURFACE WATER
CAUTION: Dry-t entire assembly to
ensure proper t before gluing or taping parts.
CAUTION: Follow all proper gluing
procedures as specied by the glue
manufacturer. Always glue in a vertical direction
whenever possible to prevent glue from
dripping inside pipe or ttings
CAUTION: Use thread tape and a thread
paste compound on all male threads except for
the unions. Tighten securely with a wrench and
add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.
1. Thread 1-1/2 in. MPT x 1-1/2 in. slip adaptor
into the outlet port located at the top of the
pump.
2. Glue a 6 in. piece of 1-1/2 in. pipe into the
adaptor.
3. Glue a 1-1/2 in. tee to the pipe.
4. Glue a 1-1/2 in. slip x 1-1/4 in. adaptor to
the top opening of the 1-1/2 in. tee.
5. Thread in a 1-1/4 in. priming plug or optional
priming plug with pressure gauge.
NOTE: Hand tighten only, as this will be
removed for priming.
6. Glue another 6 in. section of 1-1/2 in. pipe
into the opening in the 1-1/2 in. tee.
7. Glue the male thread side of a 1-1/2 in.
union to the pipe.
8. Thread 2 in. MPT x 2 in. slip adaptor into
the inlet port located on the front of the
pump body.
9. Glue an 8 in. section of 2 in. pipe into the 2
in. adaptor.
