Warns of hazards that CAN cause

serious personal injury or death, if ignored.

Warns of hazards that MAY cause

minor personal injury, product or property damage if ignored.

IMPORTANT: Indicates factors concerned with operation, installation, assembly or maintenance which could result in damage to the machine or equipment if ignored.

NOTE: Indicates special instructions which are important but are not related to hazards.

Customer Alert on Potential Water Damage: As with any product subject to a continuous supply of incoming water, a water alarm to monitor the pump area is strongly recommended to alert the customer to the potential for water damage which may result from water line failure, product damage or incorrect installation.

SHOCK HAZARD

1. Meet United States National Electrical Code and local codes for all wiring.

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

pump before connecting to power supply.

2. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water.

3. Follow wiring instructions in this manual when connecting to power lines.

4. Always disconnect power source before performing any work on or near the motor or its connected load.

5. Risk of electric shock - This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas or marine areas.

6. Protect electrical cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.

7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

Do not use to pump

flammable or explosive fluids

such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do

not use in flammable and/or explosive environments.

Hazardous pressure! Install

pressure relief valve in discharge pipe. Release all pressure on system before working on any component.

GENERAL SAFETY

1. This pump has been evaluated to work with water only.

2. Wear safety glasses when working with pumps.

3. Periodically inspect pump and system components.

4. Do not insert finger or any object into pump or motor openings.

5. Secure the discharge line before starting the

pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage or puncture.

6. Do not touch an operating motor or engine. They are designed to operate at high temperatures.

GENERAL PUMP INSTALLATION / SETUP (FIG 1)

City booster pump installation is shown per FIG 1. During pump use, insure ball valves #1 and #2 are open, and ball valve #3 is closed.

An Adjustable Pressure

Regulator (APR#1) is required on the suction side of the pump (see fig 1) if the incoming water pressure can exceed the maximum input pressure.

An Adjustable Pressure

Regulator (APR#2) is required on the Discharge (See fig 1) to insure maximum water pressure does not exceed local plumbing codes.

A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)

connected to a drain is required (see fig 1) to safe guard plumbing from exceeding max pressures if the Pressure Regulators fail. Typically the PRV would be set 5 psi higher than the APR#2.

NOTE: Optional external water tank can be used to decrease the on/off cycle rate of the pump system, which can extend the life of the pump. (Typical tank 3 gallon draw down.) Set tank PSI equal to pump tank PSI.

The entire system must be air and

water tight to maintain prime. Use thread tape on all connections to insure no leaks. Hand tighten all threads and then add additional half turn with wrench.
