BEFORE YOU iNSTALL
YOUR
PUMP
NOTICE:
Well must not be more than 20' (6.1m) depth
to water.
Step 1. Long runs and many fittings
increase friction
and
reduce flow.
Locate pump as close to well as
possible;
use as few elbows
and fittings
as possi-
ble. Be sure suction
line is straight and angles
toward
pump.
Step 2. Be sure well and pipe are clear of sand, dirt and
scale. Foreign matter will plug pump and void
warranty.
Use new pipe for best results.
Step 3. Protect pump and all piping
from freezing.
Freezing will
split pipe, damage pump
and void
warranty.
Check locally
for frost protection
requirements
(usually
pipe must be 12" (30.5cm)
below frost line and pump must be insulated).
Step 4. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in
good shape.
Step 5. No air pockets
in suction
pipe.
Step 6. No leaks in suction
pipe. Use Teflon tape or
Plasto-Joint
Stik to sea[ pipe joints.
Step 7. Unions
installed
near pump
and wei[ wii[ aid in
servicing.
Leave room to use wrenches.
[_WAFINING [Pump body may explode
if used as booster
pump.
DO NOT use in booster
application.
I_ CAUTION I Motor
normally
operates at high tempera-
ture and will be too hot to touch.
It is protected
from
heat damage during
operation
by an automatic
internal
cutoff
switch.
Before handling
pump or motor, stop
motor
and allow
it to cool for 20 minutes.

WELL
INSTALLATION
Step 1. Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely.
Inspect strainer to be sure it is clean and secure.
Step 2. Connect
foot valve and strainer to first length of
suction
pipe and lower pipe into well. Add sec-
tions of pipe as needed,
using Teflon tape on
male threads (use 1-1/2" pipe for suction
pipe).
Be sure all suction
pipe is leakproof
or pump will
lose prime and fail to pump.
Install foot valve 10
to 20 ft. (3 to 6 m) below
lowest level to which
water will drop while
pump
is operating
(pump-
ing water
level). Your well driller
can furnish this
information.
Step 3. To prevent sand and sediment
from entering
pumping
system, foot valve/strainer
should
be at
least 5 ft. (1.5 m) above bottom
of well.
Step 4. When proper depth is reached,
install sanitary
well seal over pipe and in well casing. Tighten
bolts to seal casing.
Step 5. When using foot valve, a priming
tee and plug
are recommended.
