Cement as

of rigid 1" and
1-1/4" PVC
pipe as needed to connect the 1" female PVC adapter and the
1-1/4" male PVC adapter to the 1" and 1-1/4" PVC elbows. The
diaphragm pressure tank is factory preset to 30 PSI. Reset
the pressure to 18 PSI using a tire gauge. This is vital to the
proper operation of the system. Remove pressure gauge plug.
Place a large bucket
STEP
beneath the pressure

regulator outlet.
Start motor. Turn
regulator adjustment screw
down tight. If pump is properly
primed a high pressure will
immediately show on the pressure
gauge. With pump operating at
high pressure, slowly unscrew
regulator adjustment screw until
maximum water flow is obtained
without pressure dropping to zero. If pressure falls completely,
retighten adjustment screw and readjust. Steady pressure
must not be less than 24 lbs. for the R520 and 32 lbs. for the
R100. If no pressure shows: Stop motor, remove pressure gauge
plug from pressure regulator, add more water, and try again.
Complete installation should look like the drawing to the right.

cut-off pressure low enough to shut off the pump. The
recommended pressure is 2 PSI below your pump cut-off
pressure. Example: if a 20-40 PSI pressure switch is being
used, tank pressure should be 18 PSI. If a valve shuts off
and the cut-off setting is too high, the pump will run
continuously without water flow causing overheating and
serious damage.
