Linear Bearing Link Drive (LBLDWR) is designed for use with the Simple Pump model 100, 125, and 200 hand pumps. When installed on the Model 100, it delivers up to 1.0 GPM from a totally dynamic head (TDH) of 225 feet. See detailed limits below. When installed on the Model 125, the gear motor is capable of delivering up to 2.0 gallons of water per minute (GPM) from a total dynamic head (TDH) of... -

If the temperature at the planned site regularly peaks above 100˚F, we recommend operation of the motor in shade. The component box needs to be mounted near the batteries and out of the sun in a protected environment as it contains electrical equipment. - Page 4 (i.e. non-pressurized) storage tank along with a small DC powered transfer pump will allow you to pump the water into your pressure tank. The Simple Pump would be used to bring water to the surface and fill the ambient tank. The transfer pump would pump the water from the ambient storage tank into the pressurized system.
- Page 5 The switch turns the transfer pump on and off, according to a target pressure. If you are able to use the Simple Pump to pump into pressure, we STRONGLY suggest that you wire in a pressure switch to control the ON/OFF state of the system (See Section 10 for details). If the pump is not controlled in this way and is left on, it could exceed the allowed pressure and potentially damage both the pressure tank and/or the Simple Pump gear motor.

You should confirm that your pump is delivering at least one gallon of water with approximately 25 strokes with the lever handle system (model 100). If you have the model 125, your pump should be delivering about one gallon of water in approximately 15 complete strokes. If you have the model 200, your pump should be delivering about one gallon of water in approximately 6 strokes. - Page 10 Hand Pump, half of the Riser Tube must be below the well cap. This means that when using the PHA2 only 12” of Riser Tube can be showing above the well cap, when using the PHA47, only 24” can be showing. page 10 © Simple Pump Company...

There is a 1/4" of space between the bearing housing and the top of the rod gland when the holes are fully aligned. The rod gland is the topmost exposed component on the pump head. page 11 © Simple Pump Company... - Page 12 It may be necessary to wiggle the clevis in order to move the rod upward. With deeper static water levels, it could take a fair amount of force to lift the rod. page 12 © Simple Pump Company...
- Page 13 This pinches the clevis to the stainless rod. These need to be very tight. You will notice when you tighten one and move to the other it will appear loose. Keep tightening in sequence until both are tight. page 13 © Simple Pump Company...

You can now put the four (4) 8-32x1/2 SS cap screws back into the top linear bearing. At this point just make these screws finger tight. We will do final alignment adjustments in Section 7 below. page 14 © Simple Pump Company... -

Page 21: Section 11: Trouble-Shooting
If the system continues to blow fuses after verifying the alignment, remove the motor mechanism and stroke the pump rod by hand. It should require about 40 lbs. of lifting effort for each 100 feet of static water level depth. If the effort is any more than this, something is binding in the pump system and it is not an issue with the drive system. -

Note that all of these are those that must be replaced on any Simple Pump system, no matter what configuration -- driven by hand, or motor. If the flow rate of your pump starts to fall, replacing the seals may well be the solution.
