Installation 7. Install enough plastic pipe in well casing to put ejector at the proper Pump depth. (Ask your well driller for this information.) mounted on Casing IMPORTANT: As a guide, the ejector should be set at least 10 to 20 feet Adapter below the lowest water level with pump running, if possible, but always at least five feet from the bottom of the well.

Installation DISCHARGE PIPE SIZES 1. If increasing discharge pipe size, install reducer in pump discharge port. Standard Tank Do not increase pipe size by stages. 2. When the pump is set away from the points of water use, the discharge Air Volume pipe size should be increased to reduce pressure losses caused by Control...
Electrical Disconnect power before working on pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring. MOTOR SWITCH SETTINGS NOTICE: 1/2 HP motors are wired for 115 volts only, and have no motor wiring to change. Your motor terminal board (located under the motor end cover) should look like one of those below. If the motor can operate at either 115 or 230 volts, it is set at the factory to 230 volts.
Electrical Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill. Connect ground wire before connecting power supply wires. Use the wire size (including the ground wire) specified in the wiring chart. If possible, connect the pump to a separate branch circuit with no other appliances on it. Explosion hazard.
Operation PRIMING THE PUMP 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. NEVER run pump against closed dis charge, to do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit and possibly scalding persons handling pump.

Operation / Maintenance 4. Once unit has primed and pressure stabilized, slowly open (turn counterclockwise - Figure 15) regulator valve until pressure falters (pressure gauge needle flutters; pump may become noisy - see Figure 16). At this point, close (turn clockwise) regulator valve slightly until pressure stabilizes.
Maintenance PUMP DISASSEMBLY The seal consists primarily of two parts: a rotating member and a floating seat. The highly polished and lapped faces of the seal are easily damaged. Read instructions and handle the seal with care. 1. Be sure disconnect switch is off. 2.

Maintenance HOW TO HANDLE A GASEOUS WELL Be Careful That ...Does Not Damage Motor Shaft Shoulder... Seal Face In some areas well water contains gases which must be allowed to escape before the water is used. To deliver gas-free water suspend a pipe, closed at the bottom and open at the top, so that it surrounds the suction pipe inlet.
