Installation Checklist - Xylem Goulds M05430 Instruction Manual

INSTALLATION CHECK LIST
• Enter the pump and motor information and other requested data on the front
of this manual.
• Inspect all components for shipping damage, report damage to the distributor
immediately.
• Verify that motor HP and pump HP match.
• Match power supply voltage and phase to motor and control specifications.
• Select a dry, shaded location in which to mount the controls.
• Make all underwater and underground splices with waterproof splice
connections.
• Hold the pump at the discharge head when installing threaded pipe or an
adapter fitting as most pumps have left hand threads which will be loosened
if you hold the pump anyplace except the discharge head.
• Check all plumbing connections to insure they are tight and sealed with
Teflon tape.
• Verify that the pipe pressure rating is higher than pump shut-off pressure.
• Install a pressure relief valve on any system capable of creating over 75 PSI.
The system pressure cannot exceed the tank's maximum pressure rating.
• Locating the tank and controls in an area protected from rain, spray and
other environmental factors may prolong their useful life. Especially in areas
with acid rain and saline water.
• Locate the pressure switch within 4' of the pressure tank to prevent switch
chatter.
• Adjust tank pre-charge to 2 PSI below the system cut-in pressure setting, ex.
28 on a 30/50 system.
• Set the pump 10' above the well bottom to keep above sediment and debris.
• Insure that main power is disconnected, turned OFF, before wiring any com-
ponents.
• Wiring should be performed only by qualified technicians.
• Wiring and Grounding must be in compliance with national and local codes.
• Restrict the flow with a ball or globe valve, 1/3 open, before starting pump
for first time.
• Open a faucet or discharge valve on start-up to keep dirty water from enter-
ing the tank.
• Turn main breaker or disconnect ON.
• Run through several on/off cycles to verify proper switch operation.
• Check amps and enter the data on the front of this manual.
• Leave the manual with the owner or at the job site.
