5. Thread in priming plug and then open optional
ball valve if installed by turning handle to line
up with the pipe.
6. PRIMING NOTE: Several priming attempts
may be necessary, depending on the length
of suction pipe and location of check valve if a
well point is being used.
7. Turn on breaker to start pump.
IMPORTANT:
If the pump hums instead of
pumping or turns off repeatedly, shut pump off
immediately.
Check voltage. Make sure your incoming voltage
matches the pump wiring voltage. See wiring
guide in the instructions.
IMPORTANT:
If the pump fails to prime
within five minutes:
Turn power off at the breaker box and check
all pipe connections for leaks. All connections
must be water and air tight in order for pump to
operate.
All piping from the well to the pump should slope
slightly upward with no sagging. Support suction
pipe between water source and pump. Unions in
the suction line near the pump and well will aid in
servicing. Be sure to leave enough room so that
wrenches can be used easily.
NOTE
: Look for leaks or a milky color in the
discharged water, which indicates an air leak.
Re-prime if necessary, following steps 1 through
6 above. Reset breaker at the breaker box. All
connections must be water and air tight in order
for pump to operate.
