NOTICE: PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATE OR INSTALL THE PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTION, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR FOR
INSTRUCTION.

THIS MANUAL MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.

MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY LABELS.

IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or cause
death. All electrical work must be performed

by a qualied technician. Always follow the

local applicable electrical code.

The pump must be connected to a dedicated
electrical circuit protected by a properly sized
circuit breaker or fuses. Install a disconnect
Control Panel where required by the local

code.

Code questions should be directed to your electrical inspector.
See Chart 1 for specific information.

Always disconnect the power source before
installing or servicing the pump. This motors
come with an automatic thermal overload
protection, this feature may allow an

overheated pump to restart suddenly.

Water and electricity can be dangerous if
certain precautions are not adhered to. This
pump is designed to operate in a safe way in

!

a water environment; however, improper use

and installation can result in personal harm
from electrical shock. Please pay attention to

the following warnings.

Never touch this pump, when it is touching
water, in water, or even in a moist
environment. Always unplug (disconnect the

!

electricity) when working on or installing

DANGER

the unit.

Do not use this pump with ammable or
explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline,
kerosene, ethanol, etc. Using this pump

with or near ammable liquids can cause an
explosion or re, resulting in property damage,

serious personal injury and/or death. Pumping
any of the above mentioned liquids voids the
warranty. Always make sure that this pump
is pumping liquid with same composition as

water.

Do not stand in water when the pump is
connected to the power supply.

This pump has been evaluated for use with

!

water only.

CAUTION

NOTICE: This pumps has been designed for working in presence
of water. Working without water will cause severe damage to
the pump.

A qualied electrician must perform all the

!

wiring.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Read this Instruction Manual thoroughly prior to any work.
Work should be undertaken by qualified persons only.

ATTENTION!
Important information for installers of

this equipment!

This equipment is intended for installation by technically
qualified personnel. Failure to install it in compliance with
national and local electrical codes, and with motor suppliers
recommendations, may result in electrical shock or fire hazard,
unsatisfactory performance, and equipment failure. Installation
information is available from pump manufacturers and directly
from motor suppliers. Retain this information sheet with the
equipment for future reference.

WARNING
Serious or fatal electrical shock may result from failure to
connect the motor, control enclosures, metal plumbing, and all
other metal near the motor or cable, to the power supply ground
terminal using wire no smaller than motor cable wires. To reduce
risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or
around the water system.

1. LOCATION

The pump should be installed in a dry, accessible place not
subject to freezing temperatures. If installed in a pump pit or
other location subject to dampness, proper ventilation must be
provided to avoid moisture damage to the electrical equipment.

2. PIPING

Galvanized steel or plastic pipe is recommended. If copper or
other dis-similar metal piping is used, a di-electric union or
bushing is recommended where the piping is connected to the
pump body. The pipe used should be cleaned and free of scale.
Ream ends of pipe to remove burrs. Check threads to see that
they are clean and not damaged. Horizontal runs of suction
pipe must slope upwards from the well to the pump to avoid air
pockets in the line which will make it difficult, if not impossible, to
prime the pump. The recommended slope is one inch in ten feet.
If pump must be offset an appreciable distance from the well,
the size of horizontal pipe should be increased to reduce
friction losses.

If using di-electric bushing, hand start bushing into female end of
pump housing (or other female connection) first. Use a six-sided
socket to tighten the bushing.

The bushing should be fully inserted into the female
connection. After the male end of the bushing is fully installed, hand
start pipe (or other male connection) into the female end of the
bushing. Failure to follow these guidelines may damage the bushing.
Caution should be taken to not cross-thread the bushing.

temporarily wasting the water outdoors or to drain. The pump
should be operated until the water runs clear, without sand, mud
or rust.
This procedure will eliminate the danger of pumping dirty water
into the pressure tank and home appliances. When water runs
clear, re-connect discharge line to tank and service.

4. WIRING (Use copper conductors only)

Be certain that wire and fuses of correct size are installed. Be
certain the phase, voltage, and cycles of the supply circuit are
the same as that shown on the motor name plate.

It is strongly recommended that a separate electric line, well
protected against fire, be run from electrical service to the pump,
with a fused switch box at the pump.

In the event of fire, this precaution will permit continuous
operation of your pumping system. For added safety, the pump
and motor should be properly grounded to the well casing or to a
separate ground rod driven eight feet into the ground.

NOTE: For proper fuse, circuit breaker and wire sizes in your
area, follow local codes. Otherwise:

5. MOTORS

Motors are equipped with sealed ball bearings and require little
attention.
If motor repeatedly stops, cools off, and starts again, the cause
or trouble must be located and corrected. Do not cover motor
with canvas or other material that may interfere with proper air
circulation and cause over-heating.

6. PRESSURE SWITCH

The pressure switch is set at the factory to start the pump at
30 PSI and stop it at 50 PSI. In the event a change is necessary,
remove the switch cover and adjust either the operating
pressure or differential between start and stop (if available) by
turning screws, marked on switch, in the direction required.
Wiring directions are given on the pressure switch may
damage the bushing. Caution should be taken to not
cross-thread the bushing.

3. FLUSHING

If the pump discharge line is connected to pressure tank or
house service, disconnect it and flush and clean the system by
