Remove the cover from the pressure switch. Connect the bare
copper ground to the ground screw in the pressure switch.
Connect the power supply to the terminals marked "Line" in the
diagram below.

PIPING
Plastic PVC pipe is shown in the illustrations, but galvanized
steel pipe may be used if desired. All piping must be clean and
free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging. ALL JOINTS AND
CONNECTIONS IN THE WELL ASSEMBLY MUST BE AIRTIGHT. Even
a pinhole leak will prevent the proper operation of the pump

(this is the most common problem). Use thread compound on all

threaded joints unless specifi ed otherwise.
