WARNING - ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
All wiring, electrical connections, and system grounding must
comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and with any local
codes and ordinances. Employ a licensed electrician. For non-
thermally protected motors use with approved motor control that
matches motor input in full load amperes with overload element(s)
selected or adjusted in accordance with control instructions.
This pump is suitable for installations where the vertical distance
from the pump to the water level does not exceed 25 ft.
PUMP LOCATION: The pump should be installed in a clean, dry
and ventilated location which provides adequate drainage and
room for servicing and protection from freezing temperatures. It
should be bolted down evenly on a good foundation, preferably
concrete, to prevent the development of unnecessary stress.
Locating the pump as close as possible to the source of water
supply reduces the friction losses in the suction pipe and provides
for maximum capacities.
SUCTION PIPE: It is recommended that only new clean pipe
or hose be used and the size be the same as that of the pump
suction tapping. If the pump is installed any appreciable distance
away from the source of water supply, the suction pipe should

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Have an electrician provide electrical power to the motor.
• Motor must be grounded and terminal cover in place to
reduce electrical shock hazard.
• Keep motor operating area as dry as possible.
• A ground fault interrupter (GFI) protected circuit is
recommended for use with any electrical device operating
near water.
• Always disconnect power before servicing.
• Not investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
In all installations, friction losses in the suction pipe must be
taken into consideration.

be increased by one size. The suction pipe must always slope
upwards from the water source to the pump to avoid air pockets in
the line. In cases where the pump has to be reprimed often and it
is not necessary that a lot of water be delivered, it is advisable to
use a 90° or 45° elbow on the suction line. This enables the pump
to prime sooner and also prevents kinking of the hose. In cases
where a maximum volume of water is required over a pro-
longed period of time, the suction line should be led almost hori-
zontally to the pump. Non-toxic thread compound should be used
on all pipe joints and connections should be thoroughly tightened.
A strainer should be connected to the bottom end of the suction
pipe and it should be well submerged at all times.
