This will allow you to pass the wire from outside the casing through the
conduit ell to the inside of the casing where you can re-connect the wires
to the submersible pump.
STEP #5 -
You may need to lift your submersible pump or deep well jet assembly and
foot valve in order to pass the Bison Pump Cylinder by the Pitless adaptor (pictured) in
your well casing. To avoid this step, you may want to select a smaller Bison Pump
cylinder.
STEP #6 -
Remove the Bison Pump Cylinder
from the box. Remove the red plastic
plug from the pump cylinder and discard. Raise the PVC t-handle to loosen the
piston seal. Once you have released the piston seal, pump the t-handle up and down
a few times to loosen the seal. As you pump the piston, you will hear the check
valves "burp". This indicates that the check valves are functioning properly.
The
plastic t-handle can be discarded at this point.
STEP #7 -
Start the assembly of your Bison Pump
.
If you have purchased a complete kit, you will
notice the safety rope has been securely tied to the pump cylinder when you received your pump. Tie
the other end of the rope to a secure object, i.e. the well casing, temporarily. The safety rope will be
tied to the 1/4" eye bolt on the bottom of the well adaptor in step #13. (See Detail "A").
STEP #8 –
Note: when you receive your rod, one of the lock nuts will already be tightened
securely.
Assemble your first piece of 3/8" stainless steel rod to the rod protruding from the cylinder.
Pull the rod in the Bison Pump Cylinder
all the way to the top to connect the first rod. As you
assemble the stainless steel rod, screw the rod into the coupling until the two rod ends butt up against
each other. Use pliers to lock the rods together. Be sure to tighten the 3/8" stainless steel jam nuts on
both sides of the rod coupling. We recommend as you connect each rod thereafter, thread on the Rod
Retrieval Tool to pull rod up as far as you can and connect a pair of vice grips to hold the rod in place
while you secure the coupling and tighten the lock nuts. This should be done each time.
You will
notice as you assemble the rod and piping in the well, the weight of the rod may push the piston in the
pump cylinder down so the rod lowers inside the 1 1/4" PVC pipe to a point where you can't reach it
to connect the next rod coupling.
STEP #9 -
Screw the PVC male end of the first 8' section of pipe into the female thread in the head of
the pump cylinder. Use Teflon tape or pipe dope compound on all pipe threads.
