Pressure Switches & Jet Nozzle
This pump is shipped from the factory with a standard pressure and flow Jet Nozzle installed. The pres -
sure switch is preset to accommodate the expected pressure range associated with this nozzle. All pres -
sure switches are preset at the factory for proper performance and do not usually require adjustment.
If adjustment is necessary, the switch should be adjusted according to the switch manufacturer’s speci
-
fications. Refer to “Jet Nozzle & Pressure Switch Adjustments” on page 6 when changing the nozzle.
Electrical Connections
1. Disconnect power at electrical panel before making any electrical connections.
2. Supply voltage must be +/- 10% of motor nameplate voltage. Low or high voltage can damage the
motor and will void the warranty.
3. It is recommended that a separate circuit be provided from the distribution panel to the pump unit.
4. Install a proper fused disconnect switch in the line, making sure the correct gauge of cable is used to
carry the load.
• Very long runs will require a larger cable size to minimize voltage drop.
• Note that a fuse or circuit breaker is for short-circuit protection only and does not serve as over
-
load protection for the motor.
5. Remove the cover from the pressure switch.
6. Connect the incoming power wires to the LINE terminals and the green or bare wire to the ground
screw, then ground the entire unit.
7. To change the motor voltage unplug the dual voltage connector on the motor and reconnect it in
the position required to match the available electrical system.
• The motor can be set for 115 volts or 230 volts. The factory preset is 230 volts.
• The voltage setting of the motor can be determined by looking at the alignment of the arrow on
the plug and the arrow on the motor terminal board (located under the motor’s end cover).
• Any questions as to which voltage setting is required for proper motor and pump operation in
your system should be directed to an electrical professional.
8. Make sure the insulated green or bare ground wire is securely connected to the green ground termi -
nal screw on the motor terminal board.
• This wire must be connected to the electrical system ground (provided by the power company)
or another adequate ground.
• Do not operate pump unless it is grounded.
