SAFETY
• This pump is meant to be used where the vertical lift of water is less than 25' (7.6 m). If the
well is deeper than that, you need to purchase a deep well convertible jet pump.
• Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do
not use in the presence of flammable or explosive vapours. Using this pump with or near
flammable liquids can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in property damage, serious
personal injury and/or death.
• Always disconnect the pump from its power source before inspection.
• Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating as the pump may be HOT and can cause
serious skin burns.
• Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has NO repairable internal parts, and
disassembling may cause leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues.
CAUTION:
• The motor MUST NOT be started before the pump is primed!
• This is a dual voltage motor. It can be wired for 230 V or 115 V (pre-set), depending on the
power source.
• This pump is equipped with a 30/50 PSI pressure switch. If the previous pump used a
different switch, you must reset the tank to 28 PSI. An air compressor may be needed to
do this.
• In order for the pump and tank to operate properly, the tank needs to be drained of all
water and set to the proper pressure level BEFORE startup.
• For safety, the pump motor has a resetting thermal protector that automatically will turn
off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature will damage the pump and void
the warranty.
• Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will
allow the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.
• Do not allow the pump to be exposed to freezing temperatures. This can crack the cast
iron and void the warranty.
