INSTALLATION WITH A ROOFTOP
RESERVOIR TANK (FIGURE 1)
Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to
pump before working on the pump or motor.
1. Close the shutoff valve between the roof-top tank
and the pump.
2. If there is a valve in the pipe going from the pump
into the house, close that valve also.
3. Loosen the unions near the pump and allow the sys-
tem to drain. Disconnect the unions and remove the
old pump from the system.
4. Clean up the existing piping or replace it with all
new piping around the pump.
5. Reassemble the piping and unions with the new
pump in place. Use teflon tape to seal the joints.
6. Open the isolation valves that you closed in Steps 1
and 2. Also open or loosen the priming plug to allow
air to vent from the system.
7. When solid water runs from the pump's priming
port, tighten the plug until it seals.
8. Check the system for leaks.
You have just completed the suction pipe plumbing for
your new pump.

ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Risk of dangerous or
fatal electric shock. Plug the pump into a 115 Volt, 60
Cycle, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protect-
ed grounded outlet only. Do not modify or remove the
plug. Make sure the pump circuit meets all codes and
ordinances that apply. To avoid dangerous electrical
shock hazard, keep the cord dry at all times.
For instructions on wiring the pump, refer to the decal
inside the control box.
Lubrication
The motor is lubricated at the factory for the life of
the bearings. The pump seal is water cooled and self
lubricating.
Pump Service
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. Unplug the pump before servicing it. Do not
handle the pump or attempt to work on the pump with
wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp floor.
The motor has an auto-reset thermal overload protector.
If the motor overheats, the overload will cut off the
power to prevent damage and will reset after the motor
cools. If the overload trips repeatedly, check the pump
for the cause (low voltage, a clogged impeller, etc.).
