1. Read this manual carefully. Failure to follow
these Instructions could cause serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
2. Consult installer or licensed plumber for
correct relief valve. Install system according to
local codes.
3. Always test water from well for purity before
using. Check local health department for
testing procedure.
4. Before installing or servicing tank, BE SURE
pump electric power source is disconnected.
Release all water pressure before working on
tank or system. Release air pressure before
removing cover flange.
5. Install relief valve in pump supply line to tank,
as close to tank as possible.
6. BE SURE pump electrical circuit is properly
grounded.
7. Remove bleeder orifices, air volume controls
or other air charging devices in existing
system.
8. DO NOT USE tank as a surge suppressor.
Risk of explosion. Pump body
may explode if used as a booster pump unless
relief valve capable of passing full pump
flow at 75 PSI is installed. Do not ground to
a gas supply line. To prevent possible serious
or fatal injury and/or damage to equipment,
system pressure must be less than 100 pounds
per square inch (PSI) (689kPa) under any
circumstances. Failure to follow instruction
can result in tank blowup. If system discharge
pressure can exceed 100 PSI (689kPa), install
a relief valve capable of passing the full pump
volume at 100 PSI (689kPa).
Risk of freezing. Do not allow
pump, tank, or piping system to freeze. Freezing
can severely damage equipment and may lead
to tank explosion and serious injury. Allowing
tank to freeze voids tank warranty.
