General Safety 2
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.
California Proposition 65 Warning
This product and related accessories contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
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
close to the well with ample space for installation and
servicing the well. A dry basement, pit, or utility room is an
excellent choice when allowed by law. The pump must be
securely fastened to a solid foundation.
The pump should
always be mounted in a horizontal position on a level
foundation. Failure to properly secure the pump may
result in failure of the pump or piping and damage to
the surrounding area.
4. CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT. Pump motor
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 for electrical connections.
5. It is mandatory that a permanent ground connection be
made from the pump motor to the grounding bar at the
service panel. Do not connect pump motor to a power
supply until permanently grounded. For maximum safety,
ground the pump motor to a circuit equipped with a fault
interrupter device.
6. Motor Grounding Instructions:
Reduced risk of electric shock during
operation of this pump requires the provision of acceptable
grounding.
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 motor back to
the service by connecting a copper conductor, at least the
size of the circuit conductors supplying the pump motor,
to the grounding screw provided on rib underneath wiring
compartment cover. NOTE: N.E.C. requires pump motor be
grounded at installation.
7. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the
pump. The 2 hp is factory preset to 230V and will not
operate at any other voltage. However, the 3/4 hp, 1 hp
and 1-1/2 hp are dual voltage motors. They are preset to
230 volts, but may be converted to 115 volts, see Figure 1.
If motor is converted to 115V, an electrician should insure
electrical and power leads can handle the higher amps.

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.
Pumping sand or other
sediment will seriously damage the pump and void
warranty. Periodic flushing will remove internal pump
sediment buildup. TO FLUSH:
• Remove 1-1/2" plug from top of discharge tee, or remove
piping if no discharge tee has been installed.
• Remove 1/4" plug from the lower front of pump.
• Pour water into top of pump until water flowing from
lower front of pump is clear.
• Scrape out any stubborn debris from the lower front
opening with a wire or pipe cleaner.
• Reinstall pipes and plugs and reprime before returning
pump to service.
10. The following may cause severe damage to pump and/or
piping and will void warranty:
• Failure to protect pump and piping against below
freezing temperature.
• Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
• Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids.
• Using extension cords.
• Using this pump in or near a swimming pool.
• Running the pump dry. Follow priming instructions.
• Discharge pressure not to exceed 100 psi.
• Torque for pump bolts is 15-20 ft.-lbs.
• Use of garden hose as discharge or suction line.
• Failure to securely fastened to a solid foundation.
11. Running the pump without discharge water
flow will cause serious damage inside the pump due to
heat buildup.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
