READ AND FOLLOW
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol.
When you see this symbol
on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the fol-
lowing signal words and be alert to the potential for personal
injury.

will
cause serious per-
sonal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

The label
NOTICE
indicates special instructions which are
important but not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual
and on pump.
Hazardous pressure. Under certain conditions,
submersible pumps can develop extremely high pressure.
Install a pressure relief valve capable of passing entire pump
flow at 75 PSI.
Do not allow pump, piping, or any other system compo-
nent containing water to freeze. Freezing may damage
system, leading to injury or flooding. Allowing pump or system
components to freeze will void warranty.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause
death. To avoid dangerous or fatal electric shock hazard, use
pump only in an effluent system. DO NOT install pump in an
open body of water ( a lake, swimming pool, etc.).
Install, ground and wire pump according to local and
Canadian Electrical Code or National Electrical Code
requirements that apply.
Disconnect electrical power supply before installing or
servicing pump.
Make sure pump nameplate voltage and frequency match
line voltage and frequency of power supply.
1. Install pump according to all plumbing, pump and well
code requirements.
2. Install an all leg disconnect switch in the power supply
near the pump.
3. Two-wire motors are equipped with automatic thermal
overload protection which will open the circuit and stop
the motor when a thermal overload (excessive heating)
exists. When motor cools, overload will rest and motor will
restart automatically.
This can cause the pump to start
unexpectedly and without warning.
GENERAL
Inspect pump for delivery damage. Report any damage to ship-
ping carrier or to Zabel immediately.
Have any installation, repair, or service work done by your
Zabel dealer.
Never run pump dry.
During system operation, pump must be submerged at all times.
Pipe joint compound can cause cracking in plastics. Use only
teflon tape when sealing joints in plastic pipe or connecting
pipe to thermoplastic pumps.
Warranty is void in the following conditions:
• Water is highly corrosive.
• If entrained gas or air present in water being pumped
reduce the flow and cause cavitation (which can damage
the pump).
• Pump has been operated with discharge valve closed
(severe internal damage will result).
ELECTRICAL
Wiring/Grounding
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause
death. Permanently ground pump, motor and control box
before connecting power supply to motor.
Ground pump and motor in accordance with all codes and
ordinances that apply. All wiring must meet National Electrical
Code and Canadian Electrical Code (whichever applies). Use
copper ground wire at least as large as wires carrying current to
pump.
Pump is supplied with copper ground wire. Use only copper
wire for connections to pump.
Permanently ground pump before connecting power cable to
power supply. Connect ground wire to approved ground first,
then connect to equipment being installed.
Do not ground to a gas supply line.
Float switches or any other approved motor control must match
motor input in full load amperes.
For more information, contact your local code officials.
Installation Wiring Instructions
Pump has two power supply wires (Red/Black) and one ground
wire (Green).
Fasten power supply wire leads securely to control panel; leave
4-5" of slack in leads at this point. Securely fasten leads to plas-
tic pipe within 6" of the pump discharge section.
NOTICE:
To avoid dropping pump or damaging wires or
splices,
NEVER
allow pump wires to support weight of pump.
Submersible
Pump
3" pipe
Figure 1: Insert a 3” PVC pipe in the bottom of the
motor to raise the pump in the tank.
