WArNiNG: Warranty void if product modified, drilled, painted, or altered in any way; if used
to pump hot water, or to pump liquids other than water (such as but not limited to chemicals,
fertilizers, flammable liquids, herbicides, mud, tar, cement, wood chips); or otherwise abused.
8. Before installing or servicing the pump, BE CERTAIN pump power source is disconnected.
9. All installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state and local codes and must be completed
before priming the pump. Check with appropriate community agencies, or contact your local
electrical and pump professionals.
10. Pump should be installed in a dry, convenient location that is close to the well and provides
ample space for installation and servicing the well. A dry basement, pit, or utility room is an
excellent choice when allowed by law.
11. cALL AN eLectriciAN WheN iN DouBt. Pump motor should be connected to a separate
electrical circuit directly from main switch. There must be a fuse box or circuit breaker installed
in this line. Plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at motor, resulting in blown fuses,
tripping of motor overload, or burned-out motor. refer to electrical diagrams on following page
for electrical connections.
12. It is mandatory that a permanent ground connection be made from the pump motor to the
grounding bar at the service panel. Do not connect pump motor to a power supply until
permanently grounded. For maximum safety, ground the pump motor to a circuit equipped with a
fault interrupter device.
13. Motor Grounding Instructions: WArNiNG: Reduced risk of electric shock during operation of this
pump requires the provision of acceptable grounding. caution: Failure to ground this unit
properly may result in severe electrical shock. If the means of connection to the supply-
connection box is other than grounded metal conduit, ground the pump motor back to the service
by connecting a copper conductor, at least the size of the circuit conductors supplying the pump
motor, to the grounding screw provided within the wiring compartment. NOTE: N.E.C. requires
pumps be grounded at installation.
cAutioN: Pump must be primed! Make sure pump is full of water before running! Failure to do so
will cause damage to mechanical seal, leakage and flooding!
• Never run pump against closed discharge valve! To do so can cause high temperatures, pump
damage, personal injury and property damage!
• Hazardous voltage! Can shock, burn or cause death. Read instructions before installing!
• To avoid dangerous or fatal shock, turn off power and ground motor before connecting motor to
electrical power supply!
• Do not ground to a gas supply line!
• Match supply voltage to nameplate voltage. Wrong voltage can cause fire or motor damage and
voids warranty. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
• Pump may be HOT to touch. Use caution!
14. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump. The 1/2 HP pump motors are
factory preset to 230V. The 3/4 and 1 HP pump motors are preset to 230V. Both types of motors
are prewired for either 115V or 230V. If the motor is converted to 115V, electrician should ensure
that electrical and power leads can handle the higher amps.
