The label 

NOTICE 

indicates special instructions which

Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on pump.

Keep safety labels in good
condition. 
Replace missing or dam-
aged safety labels.

Ground motor before

connecting to power 

supply.

Meet all codes that
apply for all wiring.

To

discharge motor capacitor, hold insulated

handle screwdriver 

BY THE HANDLE

and short capacitor

terminals together. Do not touch metal screwdriver blade
or capacitor terminals. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician. 

GENERAL SAFETY

Do not touch an operating motor.

Modern

motors may operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns
when servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes
after shut-down before handling.
Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze.

To do so will void warranty.
Pump water only with this pump.
Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.
Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted;
store properly all unused tools and equipment.
Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.

Pump body may explode if used as a boost-

er pump unless relief valve capable of passing full pump
flow at 5 Bars (75 psi) is installed.

PUMP INSTALLATIONS:

• Have a vertical depth between the pump and the

water being pumped of 16’ (5m) or less.

• Have one pipe from the well to the pump case.

REPLACING AN OLD PUMP

Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to

pump before working on the pump or motor.

1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe

for scale, lime, rust, etc., and  replace it if necessary.

2. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all

pipe joints in the suction pipe are air-tight as well as
water tight. 

If the suction pipe can suck air, the

pump cannot lift water from the water source.

3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumb-

ing connections do not put a strain on the pump
body. Support the pipe so that the pump body does
not take the weight of piping or fittings. 

This completes the suction pipe plumbing for your
pump. Please go to Page 4 for discharge pipe and tank
connections.

WARNING

Hazardous voltage. Can
shock, burn, or cause death.

Ground pump before connecting
to power supply. Disconnect
power before working on pump,
motor or tank.

WARNING

Hazardous pressure! 
Install pressure relief 
valve in discharge pipe.

Release all pressure on 
system before working on 
any component.

Sealing Pipe Joints

Use only teflon tape for making all threaded connections
to the pump itself. 

Do not use pipe joint compounds on

plastic:

they can react with the plastic. Make sure that all

pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as
water tight. 

If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump

will not be able to pull water from the water source.
