LOCATION OF THE PUMP
Decide on the area for the pump installation. Select a pump location with adequate space for future pump maintenance. It
can be located in the basement or utility room of the house, at the well, or between the house and the well. If installed outside
of the house, it should be protected by a pump house with auxiliary heat to prevent possible freezing. Protect the pump
against flooding and excess moisture. The well also should be protected for sanitary reasons. Mount the pump as close to
the well as possible.
TANKS - PRE-CHARGED STORAGE
For best performance of the pump, it is recommended that you use a diaphragm pressure tank (sold separately). It is best to
have this in place before installing the pump. A pre-charged storage tank has a flexible bladder or diaphragm that acts as a
barrier between the compressed air and water. This barrier prevents the air from being absorbed into the water and allows
the water to be acted on by compressed air at initially higher than atmospheric pressures (pre-charged). More usable water
is provided than with a conventional type tank.
CAUTION: In order for the pump and tank to operate properly, the pressure tank needs to be drained of all water BEFORE
INSTALLING THE NEW PUMP. After draining, if you are using the supplied 30/50 psi pressure switch at the pre-set settings,
add or adjust the air pressure in the tank to 28 psi of pressure BEFORE start up.
For wells 25 ft. or less in depth, shallow well installations should be adapted. The shallow well installations have only one
single pipe between the pump and well water.
WARNING:ELECTRICAL SAFETYCapacitor voltage may be hazardous. To discharge the motor capacitor, hold the
insulated handle screwdriver BY THE HANDLE and short capacitor terminals together. Do not touch the metal screwdriver
blade or capacitor terminals. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
CAUTION:Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are designed to operate at high temperatures. To avoid
burns when servicing the pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shut-down before handling.
Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze.
To do so will void warranty.
Pump water only with this pump.
Periodically inspect the pump and system components.
Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.
Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted; store properly all unused tools and equipment.
Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.
WARNING:The pump body may explode if used as a booster pump unless a relief valve capable of passing full pump flow at
75 psi is installed.
