Safety 2
READ AND FOLLOW
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this
symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for
one of the following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury:
warns about hazards that will cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if
ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if
ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can cause
minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The label NOTICE indicates special instructions which
are important but not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on pump.
Keep safety labels in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Capacitor voltage may be hazardous. To dis-
charge 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 are designed to 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.
Pump water only with this pump.
Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.
Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted;
store properly all unused tools and equipment.
Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.
Pump body may explode if used as a
booster pump unless relief valve capable of passing full
pump flow at 75 psi is installed.
WARNING
Hazardous pressure!
Install pressure relief
valve in discharge pipe.
Release all pressure on
system before working on
any component.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn, or
cause death.
Ground pump before
connecting to power
supply. Disconnect power
before working on pump,
motor or tank.
Wire motor for correct
voltage. See “Electrical”
section of this manual and
motor nameplate.
Ground motor before
connecting to power
supply.
Meet National Electri-
cal Code, Canadian
Electrical Code, and local
codes for all wiring.
Follow wiring instruc-
tions in this manual
when connecting motor to
power lines.

REPLACING AN OLD PUMP
Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to pump before work-
ing on pump or motor.
Step 1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe for scale, lime,
rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
Step 2. Install the pump in the system. 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.
Step 3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing connections
do not put a strain on the pump body. Support the pipe so that the
pump body does not take the weight of piping or fittings.
You have just completed the well plumbing for your new shallow
well jet pump. Please go to Page 6 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
WELL POINT (DRIVEN POINT) INSTALLATION
(Figure 1)
Step 1. Drive the well, using “drive couplings” and a “drive cap”. “Drive
fittings” are threaded all the way through and allow the pipe ends to
butt against each other so that the driving force of the maul is carried by the pipe and
not
by the threads. The ordinary fittings found
in hardware stores are not threaded all the way through the fitting
and can collapse under impact. “Drive fittings” are also smoother
than standard plumbing fittings, making ground penetration easier.
Step 2. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible
Step 3. Use the fewest possible fittings (especially elbows) when connecting
the pipe from the well point to the pump suction port. The suction
pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump
(include a check valve if your pump is not equipped with one – see
Figure 1). Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the
pipe, so it doesn’t strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air
pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints
with teflon tape or a teflon based pipe joint compound. Joints must
be air- and water-tight.
If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump
cannot pull water from the well.
If one well point does not supply
enough water, consider connecting two or three well points to one
suction pipe.
You have just completed the suction piping for your new shallow
well jet pump. Please go to Page 6 for discharge pipe and tank connections
CASED WELL INSTALLATION, 2" OR LARGER
CASING (Figure 2)
Step 1. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
Step 2. Assemble the foot valve, strainer, and well pipe (see Figure 2). Make
sure that the foot valve works freely.
Step 3. Lower the pipe into the well until the strainer is five feet above the
bottom of the well. It should also be at least 10 feet below the well’s
water level
while the pump is running
in order to prevent the pump
from sucking air. Install a sanitary well seal.
