Wiring the Pump
NOTE: Employ an electrician to do the wiring.
1. Use a separate circuit from the distribution panel
with properly sized protection to power the pump.
2. Install a properly fused disconnect switch in the
line.
• Use the correct gauge of cable to carry the load.
IMPORTANT: Undersized wire between the
motor and the power source will adversely limit
the starting and load-carrying abilities of the
motor.
3. Wire the connections.
• Connect the power lines to the pressure switch terminals marked L1 and L2.
• Very long leads will require a larger cable.
• Ensure the pump and motor is grounded in the distribution panel or to the well casing.
IMPORTANT: For driven wells, water levels may be too low to pump at times. Have an electrician
replace the pressure switch with a low pressure cut-off switch to prevent pump damage.
INSTALLATION
Pump Location
• Install the pump indoors in a clean, dry, and ventilated location shielded from direct sun and precip-
itation.
• Provide adequate room for future servicing, protection from freezing temperatures, flooding, and
equipment drainage.
• Bolt unit down evenly on a good foundation, preferably concrete, to prevent unnecessary stresses
from pump movement.
• Install as close as possible to water source to minimize suction piping length.
• Keep motor-operating area as dry as possible.
