Installation Before you install your pump Dirt and Scale Plug Pump and Pipes! NOTICE: Well must not be more than 20’ depth to water. 1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction and reduce flow. Locate pump as close to well as possible: use as few elbows and fittings as possible. 2. Be sure well is clear of sand. Sand will plug the pump and void the warranty.
Installation Cased Well Installation Priming plug 1. Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect strainer to be sure it is clean. Priming tee 2. Connect foot valve and strainer to the first length of suction pipe and Suction pipe lower pipe into well. Add sections of pipe as needed, using PTFE tape on male threads. Be sure that all suction pipe is leakproof or pump will lose prime and fail to pump. Install foot valve 10 to 20 feet below Standing water 20' (6 m) max.

Installation Bolt pump to solid, level foundation. 2. Support all piping connected to the pump. 3. Wrap 1-1/2 to two layers of PTFE tape clockwise (as you face end of pipe) on all male threads being attached to pump. 4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not overtighten. NOTICE : Install pump as close to well head as poss i ble. Long piping runs and many fittings create friction and reduce flow.

Electrical Connection Diagram for Single-Phase Motors Green Ground Your motor’s terminal board (under the motor end cover) should match the Screw diagram in Figure 12A or 12B. For single-phase motors, follow Figure 12A. For 3-phase motors, follow Figure 12B. If motor does not match this picture, follow the connection diagram on the motor nameplate or in the motor connection box. Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death. Disconnect power to motor before working on pump or motor. Ground motor before con necting to power supply.
Operation Priming The Pump NOTICE: The term ‘priming’ refers to the process of pumping all the air out of the system, filling the pump and suction piping with water, and beginning to move water through the pump and out into the system. A ‘self- priming’ pump generally will repeat this process without attention once the pump and system are full of water. If the water drains out of the pump (back into the well, for example), then the whole priming process must be 4324 0203 repeated before operating the pump again.
Maintenance Maintenance If motor is replaced, replace the shaft seal and O-Rings. Keep a seal and O-Rings on hand for future use. Vent Plug Be sure to prime pump before starting. NOTICE: The mechanical shaft seal in the pump is water lubricated and Recirculation Valve: Do not disturb when self-adjusting. draining pump! NOTICE: Drain pump (see Figure 16) when disconnecting from service or Drain Plug when it might freeze. You can fill the pump with RV anti-freeze (propylene glycol) to prevent it from freezing. DO NOT remove the Recirculation Valve...
Maintenance Seal Removal 1. Follow the instructions under “Pump Disassembly”, above. 2. Remove the discharge pipe from the bracket (Ref. No. 4). 3. Remove the hold down bolts from the bracket. 4. Turn the bracket motor side up on the bench and use a screwdriver to carefully tap the stationary seal half out of the bracket (see Figure 21). 5.
Maintenance • Troubleshooting 8. Reinstall the sleeve on the bracket and the pump suction body in the sleeve. Be sure that you do not pinch or damage the O-Ring. See Figure 27. 9. Install four capscrews (Ref. No. 18) through the pump head and into the bracket. Tighten the capscrews to 22 ft.-lbs.
