Priming
CAUTION: Risk of burns. Never run pump dry. Running pump without
water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing
burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.
WARNING: Risk of explosion and scalding. 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. Fill the pump through the pump outlet, 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.
2. Replace all fill plugs.
Electrical
WARNING: It is recommended all electrical work be performed by a licensed electrician.
WARNING: Before wiring the pressure switch, turn off the power source to which you are connecting to avoid potentially life
threatening electrical shock.
WARNING: When wiring from the power source to the pressure switch, it
is recommended that you use either a 14-gauge or 12-gauge cord.To
complete the installation, you must connect the power source to the
pressure switch. A 30/50 psi pressure switch has been installed on the
pump. The pressure switch allows for automatic operation; the pump
starts when pressure drops to the "cut-in" setting (30 psi pre-set).
To wire the pressure switch:
Remove the pressure switch cover on the pump to expose the wiring
terminals.
Connect the green ground wire of the power supply to the switch ground terminal.
Connect the power supply wires to the two outside terminals marked "LINE" and replace the switch cover.
CAUTION:Do NOT use a pressure switch set at a pressure greater than 50 psi. The pump will not create pressures
greater than 50 psi, if so the pump will never shut off, resulting in damage to the pump and voiding the warranty.
Voltage Setting
This pump is pre-wired at 230 volts.
If the power source is 115 volts, remove the electrical housing
cover.
Flip the switch to 115 volts. Replace the cover.
NOTE: All electrical work should be performed by a licensed
electrician.
