Capacitor voltage may be hazardous.
To discharge motor capacitor, hold insulated handle
screwdriver BY THE HANDLE and short capacitor terminals together. Do not touch metal screwdriver blade
or capacitor terminals. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
GENERAL SAFETY
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern
motors can operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns
when servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes
after shut-down before handling.
Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze.
To do so will void warranty.

Our limited warranty will not apply to any product that, in our sole judgement, has been subject to negligence, misapplication,
improper installation, or improper maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, operating a three phase motor with single phase
power through a phase converter will void the warranty. Note also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg,
ambient compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended size or the warranty is void.
Your only remedy, and BERKELEY’s only duty, is that BERKELEY repair or replace defective products (at BERKELEY’s choice). You
must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty service through the installing
dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received after the Warranty Period has
expired. This warranty is not transferable.

PRE-CHARGE TANK CONNECTION (Figure 6)
If your system uses a pre-charged tank, it should be
connected to the pump as shown in Figure 6. The relief
valve must be capable of passing the entire pump capacity at 100 PSI pressure.
Check the pre-charge of air in the tank with an ordinary
tire gauge. the pre-charge is measured when there is no water pressure in the tank. Disconnect power to the
pump and drain the tank before checking the pre-charge.
Your pump has a 30/50 PSI switch, so the tank precharge pressure should be 28 PSI (that is, it should be 2
PSI lower than the cut-in pressure of the pressure switch.
No AVC is required for a pre-charged tank; the
1/8" NPT AVC port on the pump body should be
plugged.

STANDARD TANK CONNECTION (Figure 7)
If your system uses a standard tank, connect it to the
pump as shown in Figure 7. The relief valve used with
a standard tank must be capable of passing the entire
pump capacity at 75 PSI pressure.
Connect the Air Volume Control (AVC) tube to the
1/8" NPT AVC port on the pump body. Run the tubing
from the pump’s AVC port to the AVC mounted on the
tank. See the instructions provided with tank and AVC
for details.

Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape 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 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.
Electrical 6
Disconnect power before working on pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring.
MOTOR SWITCH SETTINGS
NOTE: 1/2 HP motors are wired for 115 volts only, and have no motor wiring to change.
3/4 HP or 1 HP motor terminal boards (located under the motor end cover) should look like one of those below.
If the motor can operate at either 115 or 230 volts, it is set at the factory to 230 volts. Do not change motor wiring
if line voltage is 230 volts, or if you have a single voltage motor.
Never wire a 115 volt motor to a 230 volt line.

Voltage is factory set to 230 volts. To change to 115 volts:
1. Make sure power is off.
2. Pull the voltage change plug off of the tabs.
3. Move the voltage change plug to the 115 volt position. The plug will now cover 2 metal tabs and the

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
kill. Connect ground wire before connecting power supply wires. Use the wire size (including the ground wire)
specified in the wiring chart. If possible, connect the
pump to a separate branch circuit with no other appliances on it.
Explosion hazard. Do not ground to a gas
supply line.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
Fire hazard. Incorrect voltage can cause a
fire or seriously damage the motor and voids the warranty. The supply voltage must be within ±10% of the motor
nameplate voltage.
NOTICE: Dual-voltage motors are factory wired for 230
volts. If necessary, reconnect the motor for 115 volts, as
shown. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and with
all local codes and ordinances that apply. Consult your
local building inspector for code information.
Connection Procedure:
Step 1. Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure
11. The ground wire must be a solid copper wire
at least as large as the power supply wires.
Step 2. There must be a solid metal connection between
the pressure switch and the motor for motor
grounding protection. If the pressure switch is
not connected to the motor, connect the green
ground screw in the switch to the green ground
screw under the motor end cover. Use a solid
copper wire at least as large as the power supply
wires.
Step 3. Connect the ground wire to a grounded lead in
a service panel, to a metal underground water
pipe, to a metal well casing at least ten feet (3M)
long, or to a ground electrode provided by the
power company or the hydro authority.
Step 4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure
switch as shown in Figure 11.

Never run pump against closed discharge.
To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous
pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding
persons handling pump.
Never run pump dry. Running pump without
water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and
possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill
pump with water before starting.
Step 1. Open the control valve as far as possible (see
Figure 12). Then remove the priming plug
from the pump and fill the pump, fill all piping
between the pump and the well, and make sure
that all piping in the well is full. If you have also
installed a priming tee in the suction piping,
remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction
piping.

and fill pump and
piping through

Step 3. Power on! Start the pump and watch the pressure
gauge. The pressure should build rapidly to 50
PSI as the pump primes.
Step 4. After 2 or 3 minutes, the gauge should show pres-
sure. If not, stop the pump, remove the fill plugs,
reopen the control valve, and refill the pump and
piping. You may have to repeat this two or three
times in order to get all the trapped air out of the
piping. Don’t forget to close the control valve each
time before you start the pump.
Step 5. When pressure has built up and stabilized at
about 50 PSI, slowly open the control valve (see
Figure 14) and let the pressure drop until the
pressure gauge needle starts to flutter. When the
needle flutters, close the valve just enough to
stop the flutter (see Figure 14). Your pump is now
operating at its most efficient point.

Step 6. After the pump has built up pressure in the
system and shut off, check the pressure switch
operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until
the pump starts. The pump should start when
pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure
reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or
two complete cycles to verify correct operation.
This will also help clean the system of dirt and
scale dislodged during installation.
NOTICE: Packer jets (2" and 3" single pipe wells) do not
form a perfect seal. Normal irregularities in the cup seal
leather and the inner walls of the casing will allow the
pressure in a dormant system to leak off over time. This
will cause the pump to cycle periodically to maintain the
system pressure level.

Step 2. Replace all fill plugs. Leave the control valve
open (in a shallow well installation, the control
valve always stays open).
Step 3. Power on! Start the pump. The pump should
pump water in two or three minutes.
Step 4. If you don’t have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop
the pump and remove the fill plugs. Refill the
pump and piping. You may have to repeat this
two or three times in order to get all the trapped
air out of the piping. The control valve remains
open throughout this procedure.
Step 5. After the pump has built up pressure in the

operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until

pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure
