IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Warranty void if product modified, drilled, painted,
or altered in any way; if used to pump hot water,
or to pump liquids other than water (such as but
not limited to chemicals, fertilizers, flammable
liquids, herbicides, mud, tar, cement, wood chips); or
otherwise abused.
1. Before installing or servicing your pump, BE CERTAIN pump
power source is disconnected.
2. All installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state
and local codes and must be complete before priming the
pump. Check with appropriate community agencies, or
contact your local electrical and pump professionals.
3. Pump should be installed in a dry, convenient location
which is close to the well and provides ample space for
installation and servicing the well. A dry basement, pit,
or utility room is an excellent choice when allowed by law.
4. CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT. Pump should
be connected to a separate electrical circuit directly from
main switch. There must be a fuse box or circuit breaker
installed in this line. Plugging into existing outlets may
cause low voltage at motor, resulting in blown fuses,
tripping of motor overload, or burned out motor. Refer
to electrical diagrams on following page for electrical
connections.
5. It is mandatory that a permanent ground connection be
made from the pump to the grounding bar at the service
panel. Do not connect pump to a power supply until
permanently grounded. For maximum safety, ground the
pump to a circuit equipped with a fault interrupter device.
6. Motor Grounding Instructions: WARNING. Reduced risk
of electric shock during operation of this pump requires
the provision of acceptable grounding. Caution: Failure
to ground this unit properly may result in severe

electrical shock. If the means of connection to the supply-
connection box is other than grounded metal conduit,
ground the pump back to the service by connecting
a copper conductor, at least the size of the circuit
conductors supplying the pump, to the grounding screw
provided within the wiring compartment. NOTE: N.E.C.
requires pumps be grounded at installation.
7. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the
pump which is factory preset to 115V, but may be rewired
for 230V (see following page).
8. During installation, cover well to prevent foreign matter
from contaminating the well or later damaging the pump
during operation. Test well water for purity. Chlorination
may be necessary. Check local health department for
proper testing and recommendations.
9. Hand pump new wells until clear. Sand or other sediment
will seriously damage the pump.
10. The 7-gallon diaphragm pressure tank is factory preset to
30 PSI. It must be reset to 18 PSI for proper system
operation. Use an air gauge to measure pressure in tank as
air is released.
11. The following may cause severe damage to pump and/or
piping and will void warranty:
• Failure to protect pump and piping against below
freezing temperatures.
• Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
• Running the pump dry. Follow priming instructions on
pages 4 or 6, depending on the installation.
• Using extension cords.
• Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids.
• Using this pump in or near a swimming pool.
