Electrical / Preparing To Start The Pump
4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure
switch as shown in Figure 7.
You have just completed the wiring for your pump.
Motor wires connect here.
Power supply wires connect here.
Connect one hot wire (black or red) to one
of these screws (it doesn't matter which one).
Connect the white (neutral) wire
to the other screw.
Cap any remaining black or red wires.
Clamp the power cable to prevent strain
on the terminal screws.
Connect the green (or bare copper)
ground wire to the green ground screw.
Connect to 115 Volt only.

PRIMING
Never run pump dry. Running pump with-
out water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal
and possibly 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.
1. Remove the priming plug from the priming tee and
fill the pump. Fill all piping between the pump and
the well and make sure that all piping in the well is
full. If you have also installed a priming tee in the
suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill
the suction piping.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at
2. Replace all fill plugs (use teflon tape).
3. Power on! Start the pump. If you don't have water in
2 minutes, stop the pump and remove the fill plugs.
Refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat
this several times in order to get all the trapped air
out of the piping. A pump lifting water 25' may take
as long as 15 minutes to prime.
4. After the pump has built up pressure in the system
and shut off, check the pressure switch operation by
opening a faucet or two and running enough water
out to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. The
pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and
stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump
through one or two complete cycles to verify correct
operation. This will also help clean the system of dirt
and scale dislodged during installation.
