damage and WILL void the warranty.
8. Do NOT run pump dry. Follow priming
instructions.
Pump motor is
equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of motor
overheating because of operating pump
at low heads (low discharge restriction),
excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor
connections, excessive surrounding air
temperature, inadequate ventilation,
and/or defective motor or pump.
Installation
Protect pump from the elements by
installing in a basement, garage, tool shed
or pump house. Install the pump so the
center line of the pump is as close as
possible to the water level. Keep
installation area clear to provide access
for service and maintenance. Protect the
pump against flooding and excess
moisture.
Make sure the pump has adequate
ventilation. The surrounding temperature
should not exceed 100°F (38°C) or
nuisance tripping of the motor may occur.
PUMP PIPING INSTALLATION
Use new pipe for best results. Galvanized
or plastic pipe can be used. When using
galvanized pipe, provide independent
supports for both suction and discharge
piping near the pump to avoid strain on
the pump. Minimize use of elbows and
fittings to reduce friction loss. Refer to the
friction loss chart (on page 4) for specific
information.
Increase diameter of suction or discharge
piping if length is over 50 feet.
