WARNING
•
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 (pre-set) or 115 V,
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 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 pump to be exposed to freezing temperatures. This can crack the
cast iron and void the warranty.
