SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
Replace damaged or worn wiring cord immediately. Never use an extension cord.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Do not kink power cable and never allow the cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Wire motor to correct supply voltage. See motor nameplate and wiring diagrams and check voltage of power supply.
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.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has no repairable internal parts and disassembling may cause leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Never use an extension cord with this pump.
CHEMICAL ALERT.
This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE ALERT.
Install pressure relief valve in discharge pipe. Release all pressure on system before working on any component.
EXPLOSION ALERT
Do not use to pump ammable or explosive uids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in ammable and/or explosive atmospheres.

GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION
Ventilation - Ventilation and drainage must be provided to prevent damage to the motor from heat
and moisture. Freezing - Pump and all piping must be protected from freezing. If freezing weather is forecast, drain pump or remove completely from the system. Water Supply - The water source must be able to supply enough water to satisfy the capacity of pump and water needs. See performance chart on page 2. Suction Lift - Suction lift is the vertical distance from the lowest level of the water to the pump intake. See performance chart on page 2. Horizontal Distance - The horizontal distance is the horizontal measurement between pump suction and the water source. This distance may affect the ability of pump to operate. If it is more than 100 ft., call the manufacturer for assistance 1-800-742-5044.
Pipe And Fittings
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 Table A for proper wire size.

WELL TO PUMP CONNECTION (SUCTION PIPE)
CAUTION: Dry-t entire assembly to ensure proper t before gluing or taping parts.
CAUTION: Follow all proper gluing procedures as specied by the glue manufacturer. Always
glue in a vertical direction whenever possible to prevent glue from dripping inside pipe or ttings
CAUTION: Use pipe tape and pipe paste compound on all male threads. Tighten with wrench to
a snug t and add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.
Shallow Well Installations Only
1. Thread 1-1/4 in. male x 1 in. PVC adapter
(not included) into a 1-1/4 in. foot valve (not included). Hand tighten, then tighten 1/2 turn with a pipe wrench.
2. Using a 2-step PVC system (not included), attach enough PVC pipe and couplings to the adapter to equal the depth of the well, minus 5 ft.

1. Wrap thread tape (not included) around
threads of a 1 in. discharge tee (not included). Using a pipe wrench, thread the 1 in. discharge tee into the top of pump.
NOTE: To improve performance and consistency, a flow control (not included) is recommended for deep well applications in place of a standard discharge tee. This will help regulate water pressure fluctuations and may prevent loss of prime.
2. Connect a 1 in. MPT x 1/4 in. FPT galvanized bushing and pressure gauge (both not included) or a pipe plug (not included) to the discharge tee. Do not tighten, as you will prime pump later at this location.

6. IMPORTANT: Air pressure in the tank
must be 2 PSI lower than the “cut-in” of the pressure switch. Pump has a 20/40 PSI pressure switch, so tank pressure must be set at 18 PSI. Locate the air valve/stem on the tank and check pressure with a tire gauge (not included). If air needs to be removed, press down on valve to bleed off air. Use a tire pump or air compressor to add air if needed.

PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
Always disconnect pump from electricity before
performing any work on the motor.
Under-sized wiring can cause motor failure and even
re. Use proper wire size specied in the Wire Size
Chart.
Replace damaged or worn wiring cord immediately.
Do not kink power cable and never allow the cable
to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.

PUMP PRIMING AND STARTUP
CAUTION: All pumps must be primed
by lling the cavity with water before they are rst operated. This may take several gallons of water, as the suction line will be lled in
addition to the cavity of pump.
1. Remove priming plug or pressure gauge 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. It may be
necessary to repeat this process several times to be sure pump and pipes are
completely lled.
NOTE: It will take several minutes to fill the pump and all pipes completely.

Depending on the length of suction pipes, several gallons will be needed to fill the entire system.
4. Check to be sure water in the cavity of pump
stays constant. If water level goes down, it could indicate a leak in the foot valve, check valve or suction pipe.

NOTE: Before turning on breaker, open several
outlets or faucets to allow water ow during
priming.
6. Turn on breaker to start pump.
IMPORTANT: If the pump hums instead of pumping or turns off repeatedly, shut pump off immediately. Check voltage. Make sure your incoming voltage matches the pump wiring voltage. See PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.

PUMP PRIMING AND STARTUP
IMPORTANT: If pump fails to prime within ve minutes:
Turn power off at the breaker box and check all pipe connections for leaks. All connections must be water and air tight in order for pump to operate.
7. Check suction pipe for any sagging. Support suction pipe in a straight line to the pump.
NOTE: Look for leaks or a milky color in the discharged water, which indicates an air leak. Re-prime if necessary, following steps 1 through 6 above. Reset breaker at the breaker box. All connections must be water and air tight in order for pump to operate.
