Buyer’s only remedy and WICOR’s only duty is to repair or replace defective products (at WICOR’s choice). Buyer agrees to
pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and to request warranty service through the installing dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. If warranty service is requested more than 30 days after the Warranty Period has
ended, it will not be honored.
WICOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.

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.
RULES FOR SAFE
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
NOTE: Installation must comply with all applicable state,
provincial, and local statutes, codes and ordinances. Noncompliant installation may result in product failure, property
damage, and/or personal injury.
1. Read the Owner’s Manual and Rules for Safe Operation and
Installation Instructions carefully. Failure to follow these Rules
and Instructions could cause serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
2. Always test water from well for purity before using. Check
your local health department for testing procedure.
3. Before installing or servicing your tank, BE SURE pump elec-
tric power source is disconnected.
4. Release all pressure before working on tank or system. Make
sure all air pressure has been released before removing tank
flanges.
5. BE SURE your pump electrical circuit is properly grounded.
6. Remove bleeder orifices, air volume controls or other air
charging devices in existing system.
To prevent possible serious or fatal injury
and/or damage to equipment, system pressure must be
less than 100 pounds per square inch (PSI) under any circumstances. Failure to follow this instruction can result
in tank explosion. If system discharge pressure can
exceed 100 PSI, install a relief valve capable of passing
the full pump volume at 100 PSI. Install relief valve in pump
supply line to tank, as close to tank as possible.
Hazardous pressure. Read owner’s manual
before attempting to install, operate, or service this tank.
To avoid possible equipment failure, severe injury, and
property damage, do not allow pump, tank, or piping system to freeze.
GENERAL SAFETY
All tanks are factory pre-charged with air to 40 pounds per
square inch (PSI). When installing tank, reduce pre- charge to
2 PSI below pump cut-in pressure setting. To do this, bleed air
from valve on top of tank.
NOTICE: Always set pre-charge with NO WATER in tank.
Check pressure frequently with an accurate tire pressure
gauge until correct pressure has been reached. For correct
pre-charge pressure settings, see Chart 1, below.
CHART I
NOTICE: Replace and tighten air valve cap if it is removed for
any reason. Failure to replace air cap may allow loss of air
pressure and eventually lead to tank waterlogging and air cell
failure.
Pre-charged storage tanks can be connected together to
increase the supply of usable water (drawdown). Two tanks of
the same size will double the supply and three tanks will triple
the supply. See Figures No. 1A and 1B for typical installations
of this kind.
NOTICE: Tanks shipped outside continental U.S.A. are not
precharged.
Pressure Switch Setting Tank Precharge (PSI)
20-40 PSI 18
30-50 PSI 28
40-60 PSI 38
50-70 PSI 48
