discharge motor capacitor, hold insulated
handle screwdriver BY THE HANDLE and short capacitor
terminals together. Do not touch metal screwdriver blade
or capacitor terminals. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
GENERAL SAFETY
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern
motors may operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns
when servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes
after shut-down before handling.
Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze.
Keep safety labels in good
condition.
Replace missing or dam-
aged safety labels.
Ground motor before
connecting to power
supply.
Meet all codes that
apply for all wiring.
To do so will void warranty.
Pump water only with this pump.
Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.
Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted;
store properly all unused tools and equipment.
Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.
Pump body may explode if used as a boost-
er pump unless relief valve capable of passing full pump
flow at 5 Bars (75 psi) is installed.

PUMP INSTALLATIONS:

• Have a vertical depth between the pump and the
water being pumped of 16' (5m) or less.
• Have one pipe from the well to the pump case.

REPLACING AN OLD PUMP

Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to
pump before working on the pump or motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe
for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all
pipe joints in the suction pipe are air-tight as well as
water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the
pump cannot lift water from the water source.
3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumb-
ing connections do not put a strain on the pump
body. Support the pipe so that the pump body does
not take the weight of piping or fittings.
This completes the suction pipe plumbing for your
pump. Please go to Page 4 for discharge pipe and tank
connections.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only teflon tape for making all threaded connections
to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds on
plastic: they can react with the plastic. Make sure that all
pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as
water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump
will not be able to pull water from the water source.
WARNING
Hazardous pressure!
Install pressure relief
valve in discharge pipe.
Release all pressure on
system before working on
any component.
