General Safety Information

1. Read these rules and

instructions carefully.
Failure to follow these
instuctions could
cause serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual PLS Series

This pump is non-

submersible. Keep
the motor dry at all times. Do not wash
the motor. Do not immerse. Protect the
motor from wet weather.

Do not allow any

part of cord or
receptacle ends to sit in water or in
damp locations.

Pump only clear water. Do
not pump flammable or
explosive fluids such as
gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in a flamma­ble and/or explosive atmosphere.
Personal injury and/or property dam­age could result.

This pump is not

designed to handle
salt water, brine, laundry discharge or
any other application which may con­tain caustic chemicals and/or foreign
materials. Pump damage could occur if
used in these applications and will
void warranty.

All wiring must be per­formed by a qualified
electrician. The pump
must be installed in com­pliance with all local and national
codes.

2. Connect this product to a grounded

circuit equipped with a ground
fault circuit interruptor (GFCI)
device.

3. Before installing this product, have

the electrical circuit checked by an
electrician to ensure proper
grounding.

4. BE CERTAIN the pump

power source is dis­connected before
installing or servicing
pump.

321602-001 1/06

5. Be sure the water source and piping
are clear of sand, dirt and scale.
Debris will clog pump and void war­ranty.

6. Failure to protect pump and piping
from freezing could cause severe
damage and will void the warranty.

7. Do not run pump dry.

Installation

PUMPING FROM LAKES, PONDS OR
SMALL STREAMS

1. Locate pump as close as possible to
the water source, keeping the verti­cal distance from the water to
pump as small as possible. Place
pump on level support. Protect
against flooding and excessive
moisture.

2. Long lengths of pipe or hose and
use of many fittings will reduce
pump flow. Use the smallest num­ber of fittings and shortest possible
length of pipe or hose.

3. Be sure water is clear of debris such
as sand, mud, and gravel.

4. Connect inlet pipe or hose to pump.
The inlet connection is designed for
1" NPT thread. Rigid pipe such as
PVC will work fine for inlet and
outlet pipe. (Reminder: Minimize
length of pipe and number of fit­tings.) An adapter for garden hose
is included (see Figure 1).

Use a grounded receptacle to reduce
the risk of fatal electric shock.

Never cut off the

round grounding
prong on the power cord. Cutting the
cord or plug will make the pump unsafe
to operate and void the warranty.

2. Turn the pump switch to the 'Off'

position.

3. This pump is only for use on 120

volt (single phase), 60 Hz, 15 amp
service and is equipped with a 3­conductor cord and 3-prong,
grounding type plug. Insert power
cord directly into GFCI outlet (see
Figure 3).

4. Turn pump switch to the 'On' posi-

tion (see Figure 4). If the pump
does not pump water within 10
minutes, turn off pump and refill
with clean water. If the pump does
not operate after repeated
attempts, check the following:

- Vertical distance of pump to water
level must not be over 20 feet.

The inlet hose

must be a rein­forced type when pumping from lakes,
ponds, or small streams. Regular gar­den hose will collapse and lead to
pump failure.

5. A foot valve with strainer should be

used to maintain prime during
operation.

6. Seal all connections in the inlet

hose. An air leak in the fittings,
hose, pipe or connections will draw
air even though no water leaks out.
These inlet leaks will reduce pump
performance and lead to pump fail­ure.

7. Connect outlet pipe or hose to

pump. The outlet connection is
designed for 1" NPT thread. Rigid
pipe such as PVC or garden hose
may be used. An adapter to garden
hose thread is included (Figure 1).

BOOSTING WATER PRESSURE

Do not run pump

with outlet pipe or
nozzle closed. The hose may burst from
excessive pressure. Use only reinforced
high-pressure hose or pipe for outlet
pipe.

1. Connect inlet pipe or hose to pump.

An adapter to garden hose thread is
included (Figure 1).

2. Connect the other end of inlet line

to water supply.

3. Connect outlet pipe or hose to

pump.

Operation

Never run the pump

dry. Running pump
without water will cause seal failure.
Fill pump with water before starting.

1. Remove priming port on pump and

fill with water. Reinstall priming
port on pump (see Figure 2). For

boosting water pressure: Do not
remove priming port. Turn on water
supply.

Risk of electrical

shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.

- Suction line must be airtight.

- All valves in suction and discharge
line must be open.

Maintenance

Maintain adequate ventilation for the
pump motor. The motor bearings are
permanently lubricated at the factory.
Additional lubrication is not required.

DRAINING FOR WINTER

Always protect pump and piping
against freezing temperatures. If there
is any danger of freezing, drain the sys­tem.

1. Disconnect suction and discharge
lines from pump.

2. Remove plug from lower front face
of pump.

3. Drain all piping below the frost line,
or store piping indoors.

4. Store pump indoors.

Troubleshooting Chart

Motor will not run

Motor runs hot and
overload kicks off

Motor runs but no
water is delivered
Note: Check prime
before looking for
other causes. Unscrew
priming plug and see if
water is in priming
hole.

Pump does not deliver
water to full capacity

1. Disconnect switch is off

2. Defective wiring

1. Voltage is too low

2. Pump house not properly
vented

1. Pump in new installation
did not pick up prime
through:
a. Improper priming
b. Air leaks
c. Leaking foot valve

2. Pump has lost prime
through:
a. air leaks
b. water level below suc-

tion of pump

3. Impeller is plugged

4. Check valve or foot valve
is stuck in closed position

5. Pipes are frozen

6. Foot valve and/or strainer
are buried in sand or mud

1. Water level in well is
lower than estimated

2. Steel piping (if used) is
corroded or limed, causing
excess friction

3. Piping is too small in size

1. Be sure switch is on

2. Refer to instructions. Check all connections

1. Check with power company. Use heavier gauge cord

2. Be sure pump has sufficient ventilation to cool the motor

1. New installation:

a. Re-prime according to instructions
b. Check all connections on suction line
c. Replace foot valve

2. Existing installations:

a. Check all connections on suction line and shaft seal
b. Lower suction line into water and re-prime. If receding

water level in well exceeds suction lift, a deep well pump is
needed

3. Clean impeller

4. Replace check valve or foot valve

5. Thaw pipes. Bury pipe below frost line. Heat pit or pump
house

6. Raise foot valve and/or stainer above well bottom

1. A deep well jet pump my be needed (over 25 ft. (7.6M) to
water)

2. Replace with plastic pipe where possible, otherwise with new
steel pipe

3. Use larger piping
