Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Description
Shallow well jet pumps are single stage
domestic water pumps designed for
pumping portable water in applications
where the water is located less than 25
feet vertically from the pump. A pressure
switch is a standard feature. The shallow
well pump can be mounted to either a
pre-charged, conventional type or free
standing pressure tank.
Unpacking
After unpacking the jet pump, carefully
inspect for any damage that may have
occurred during transit. Check for loose,
missing or damaged parts.

Jet Pump Water System
Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install,
operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety
information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property
damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
ALWAYS install
a
pressure relief
valve to match the system pressure rating and the
maximum fl ow rate.
Do NOT use to pump
fl ammable or explosive
fl uids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do
NOT use in explosive atmospheres. Pump only clear
water. Failure to follow this warning WILL result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
Disconnect power
and release all pressure
from the system before attempting to install,
service, relocate or perform any maintenance. Lock
the power disconnect in the open (OFF) position.
Tag the power disconnect to prevent unexpected
application of power.
3. Drain all liquids from the system before
servicing.
4. Periodically inspect pump and
system components. Perform
routine maintenance as required (See
Maintenance).
5. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when
working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered
and properly lighted - replace all
unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from
work area.
d. Make the workshop childproof use
padlocks, master switches and
remove starter keys.
6. Do NOT pump chemicals or corrosive
liquids. Pumping these liquids
shortens the life of the pumps seals
and moving parts and WILL void the
warranty. Pump only clear water.
7. When installing pump, cover the well to
prevent foreign matter from falling into
well and contaminating the water and
damaging internal mechanical pumping
components.
8. Always test the water from the well for
purity before use. Check with local
health department for test procedure.
9. Complete pump and piping system
MUST be protected against below
freezing temperature. Freezing
temperatures could cause severe
damage and void the warranty.
10. Do not run the pump dry or damage
will occur and will void warranty.

Risk of electrical
shock! This pump is
designed for indoor installation only.
Risk of Electrical
Shock! All wiring SHOULD
be performed by a licensed or certifi ed electrician.
11. Before installing the pump, have the
electrical circuit checked by a licensed
or certified electrician to make sure the
circuit is properly grounded.
12. Make sure the line voltage and
frequency of electrical current supply
agrees with the motor wiring.
13. Do NOT attempt repairs to the electric
motor. All repairs to the motor must be
completed by a licensed electrician.
Do NOT touch an
operating motor.
Modern motors are designed to operate at high
temperatures.
14. Avoid kinking electrical cord and
protect from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil and chemicals. Replace
damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Keep fingers and foreign objects away
from ventilation and other openings.
Do NOT insert any objects into the
motor.
Risk of electric shock!
NEVER connect the green
(or green and yellow wire) to a live terminal!
16. To reduce the risk of electrical shock.
The motor must be securely and
adequately grounded for protection
against shock.
17. Use wire of adequate size to minimize
voltage drop at the motor.
Do NOT handle
pump or pump motor
with wet hands, when standing on a wet or damp
surface or when standing in water. Fatal electrical
shock COULD occur.
Pump motor is
equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector and MAY
restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an
indication of motor overheating because of
operating pump at low heads (low discharge
restriction), excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections,
excessive surrounding air temperature, inadequate
ventilation, and/or defective motor or pump.
