REMINDER: Keep your dated proof of purchase for warranty purposes! Attach it to this manual or file it for safekeeping.

3.   Drain all liquids from the system before servicing.
4.   Periodically inspect pump and system components. Perform 

routine maintenance as required (See Maintenance).

5.   Personal Safety:

a.   Wear safety glasses at all times when working with 

pumps.

b.   Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted - 

replace all unused tools and equipment.

c.   Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
d.   Make the workshop childproof use padlocks, master 

switches and remove starter keys.

6.   Do NOT pump chemicals or corrosive liquids. Pumping these 

liquids shortens the life of the pumps seals and moving parts 

and WILL void the warranty. Pump only clear water.

7.   When installing pump, cover the well to prevent foreign 

matter from falling into well and contaminating the water and 

damaging internal mechanical pumping components.

8. Always test the water from the well for purity before use. 

Check with local health department for test procedure.

9. Complete pump and piping system MUST be protected 

against below freezing temperature. Freezing temperatures 

could cause severe damage and void the warranty.

10. Do not run the pump dry or damage will occur and will void 

warranty.

 

Risk of electrical shock! This pump is designed for    

  indoor installation only.

 

Risk of Electrical Shock! All wiring SHOULD be  

 

  performed by a licensed or certifi ed electrician.

11. Before installing the pump, have the electrical circuit 

checked by a licensed or certified electrician to make sure 

the circuit is properly grounded.

12. Make sure the line voltage and frequency of electrical current 

supply agrees with the motor wiring.

13. Do NOT attempt repairs to the electric motor. All repairs to 

the motor must be completed by a licensed electrician.

 

Do NOT touch an operating motor. Modern motors are  

  designed to operate at high temperatures.

14. Avoid kinking electrical cord and protect from sharp objects, 

hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Replace damaged or worn 

cords immediately.
15. Keep fingers and foreign objects away from ventilation and 

other openings. Do NOT insert any objects into the motor.

 

Risk of electric shock! NEVER connect the green (or   

  green and yellow wire) to a live terminal!

16. To reduce the risk of electrical shock. The motor must be 

securely and adequately grounded for protection against 

shock.

17. Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at the 

motor.

DESCRIPTION

Shallow well jet pumps are single stage domestic water pumps 

designed for pumping potable water in applications where the 

water is located less than 25 feet vertically from the pump. A 

pressure switch is a standard feature. The shallow well pump 

can be mounted to either a pre-charged, conventional type or 

free standing pressure tank.

UNPACKING

After unpacking the jet pump, carefully inspect for any damage 

that may have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing 

or damaged parts.
