California Proposition 65 Warning
This product and related accessories
contain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Hazardous pressure. Under certain
conditions, submersible pumps can develop
extremely high pressure. Install a pressure relief
valve capable of passing entire pump flow at 75
PSI (517 kPa) when using an air over water pres-
sure tank. Install a pressure relief valve capable of
passing entire pump flow at 100 PSI (690 kPa)
when using a pre-charged pressure tank.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn
or cause death. To avoid dangerous or fatal electric
shock hazard, use pump only in a water well.
Risk of dangerous or fatal electri-
cal shock. Do not install this pump in any pond,
river, or other open body of water that could be
used for swimming or recreation. Do not swim,
wade or play in a body of water in which a sub-
mersible pump has been installed.
Do not allow pump, pressure tank, piping,
or any other system component containing
water to freeze. Freezing may damage system,
leading to injury or flooding. Allowing pump or
system components to freeze will void warranty.
Install, ground and wire pump according to
local code and National Electrical Code
requirements.
Disconnect electrical power supply before
installing or servicing pump.

power supply match motor nameplate voltage
and frequency.
Install pump according to all plumbing, pump
and well code requirements.
Test well water for purity before using well. Call
your local health department for testing proce-
dure.
During installation, keep well covered as much
as possible to prevent leaves and foreign matter
from falling into well. Foreign objects in well
can contaminate the water and cause serious
mechanical damage to the pump.
Pipe joint compound can cause cracking in
plastics. Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape
when sealing joints in plastic pipe or connecting
pipe to thermoplastic pumps.

PRE-INSTALLATION

Inspect pump and motor for delivery damage.
Report any damage immediately to the shipping
carrier or to your dealer.
The well driller should thoroughly develop the
well (that is, pump out all fine sand and foreign
matter) before pump is installed. See Initial
Start-Up, Page 6.
Pump performance is based on pumping clear,
cold, liquid water with no entrained air.
Warranty is void in the following conditions:
• If pump has pumped excessive sand - exces-
• If water is corrosive.
• If entrained gas or air are present in the water
• If pump has been operated with discharge
Install pump at least 15 to 20' (4.5 to 6M) below
the lowest water level reached with pump run-
ning (lowest draw-down water level), and at
least 5' (1.5M) above the bottom of the well.
GROuNdING:
burn, or cause death. Permanently ground
pump, motor and control box before connecting
power supply to motor.
