INTRODUCTION

Please read our instructions before installing and using your
Shallow Well Water System. This will help you obtain the
full benefits of the quality and convenience built into this
equipment. It will also help you avoid any needless service
expense resulting from causes beyond our control which are
not covered by our warranty.

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

This is the safety alert symbol.

When you see this

symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for one

of the following signal words and be alert to the potential
for personal injury!

warns about hazards that 

will 

cause serious

personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

warns about hazards that 

will 

or 

can 

cause

minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The word 

NOTICE 

indicates special instructions which are

important but not related to hazards.

Never run pump dry. Running pump without

water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and pos-
sibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump
with water before starting.

Never run pump against closed discharge.

To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous
pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding
persons handling pump.

Motor normally operates at high temperature

and will be too hot to touch. It is protected from heat dam-
age during operation by an automatic internal cutoff switch.
Before handling pump or motor, stop motor and allow to
cool for 20 minutes.

1. To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property dam-

age, read safety instructions carefully before installing
pump.

2. Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical

codes when installing pump.

3. Keep well covered while installing pump to prevent

leaves and other debris from falling into well, con-
taminating well and possibly damaging pump.

4. Protect pump and piping system from freezing. Allowing

pump or water system to freeze could severely damage
pump and voids warranty.

To avoid serious injury and equip-

ment damage, limit system pressure to 100 pounds
per square inch (PSI) or below at all times. Over-
pressure can cause tank blowup; install relief valve
capable of passing full pump volume at 100 PSI.

5. With a new well, test well for purity before use. Consult

local Health Department for procedure.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn,

cause death, or start fires.
