WARNING - ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
All wiring, electrical connections, and system grounding must
comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and with any local
codes and ordinances. Employ a licensed electrician. For non-
thermally protected motors use with approved motor control that
matches motor input in full load amperes with overload element(s)
selected or adjusted in accordance with control instructions.

APPLICATION
These pumps are suitable for installations where the vertical
distance from the pump to the water level does not exceed 25 ft.
(7.5m), including drawdown. In all installations friction losses in
the piping must be taken into consideration.

INSTALLATION
a)
PUMP LOCATION:
The pump should be installed in a
clean, dry and ventilated location. Provisions should be
accommodated for adequate drainage, room for servic-
ing, and protection from freezing temperatures. The
unit should be bolted down evenly on a good founda-
tion, preferably concrete, to prevent the development of
unnecessary stresses. Locating the pump as close as
possible to the source of water supply reduces the fric-
tion losses in the suction pipe and provides maximum
capacities.
b)
SUCTION LINE:
Before installing the suction line, check
the pump rotation as outlined below. It is recommended that
only new, clean pipe or suction hose be used and the size be
the same as that of the pump suction tapping. If the pump is
installed any appreciable distance away from the source of
water supply, the suction pipe should be increased by one
