3. Use galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule

40 PVC pipe and ttings. This material is

designed for water pressure and will seal against air and water under pressure. Do

not use DWV ttings, as these are designed

for drains without pressure and will not seal properly.

CAUTION: The entire system must be

air and water tight for efcient operation and to

maintain prime.

Wire Size:

The wire size is determined by the distance from the power source to the pump motor, and the horsepower rating of the motor. See the wire chart on page 11 for proper wire size.

PRIMING

CAUTION: All pumps must be primed

(lling the cavity with water) before they are rst operated. This may take several gallons of water, as the suction pipe will be lled in

addition to the cavity of pump/tank.

1. Remove pipe plug or pressure gauge (not included) at the top of the discharge tee and the vent plug in front of the discharge tee.

2. Slowly ll the discharge tee with water until

water overows the vent plug opening.

Replace the vent plug loosely.

NOTE: It will take several minutes to fill pump/ tank and suction pipe completely.

5. Connect the green ground wire from the power supply to the remaining green ground screw in the pressure switch and re-attach the pressure switch cover.
