Risk of severe injury or death.
• When lifting or moving heavy components, use suitable lifting equipment, in good condition, rated
for at least 5 times the weight of the materials being moved.
Risk of bodily injury or property damage.
• Pumps can develop very high pressure in some situations. Always install a pressure relief valve able
to pass the full pump flow.
• Install the pressure relief valve near the pressure tank and route to a drain capable of full system
flow.
• Ensure that the foundation is rated to accommodate the operating weight of the package and that it
is sized sufficiently for the weight and loads the package will experience.
• Do not over tighten piping connections on the fittings used to connect the site plumbing to each
header as this could damage the equipment and/or headers.
1. Mount the package to a level foundation of suitable mass and rigidity using 0.50" bolts.
• Consult a building professional.
2. Attach the discharge end cap to the opposite side of the discharge header from
the incoming site water connection using one of the provided couplings.
3. Attach the suction end cap to the opposite side of the suction header using the
other coupling.
4. Make piping connections for the site water.
• The suction and discharge can be connected to either end of the manifolds.
5. Install isolation valves near both the inlet and outlet of the packaged assembly.
• These valves aid with startup loads and prevent full discharge draining during
maintenance.
6. Install an appropriately sized pressure relief valve on the discharge side of the
pump.
7. Refer to the VFD Owner's Manual for setup instructions.
