IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury
when using your Well-Connect, follow all basic safety precautions, including but not
limited to the following:
1. Please read all instructions before using your Well-Connect.
2. As with any piece of equipment that uses electricity and has moving parts, there are
potential hazards. To ensure the safe operation of this appliance, proper care must be
taken. Therefore, anyone using or installing it must heed all warnings, precautions and
instructions.
3. Never install or operate your Well-Connect in an explosive, corrosive or otherwise
hazardous environment. Doing so may result in equipment damage, property damage
and personal injury.
4. Install your Well-Connect in a dry indoor environment ONLY. Do not install or store
this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. Internal water lines may burst
if exposed to freezing conditions leading to equipment damage and potential property
damage.
5. Only install your Well-Connect on a level floor that supports the weight.
6. Your Well-Connect must remain in an upright position at all times. If it is subject to
any other orientation, even temporarily, contact us before attempting to operate it.
7. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a
receptacle that is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national
codes.
8. Connect your Well-Connect to a water source that can provide a constant flow, at a
minimum rate of (2) gallons per minute for Model WCVC-16 or (3.5) gallons per
minute for Model WCVC-24 at a temperature of 45F (7C) or warmer. Some shallow
wells may not be able to produce the flow volume and/or temperature needed for
proper operation. If you are unsure whether your well can meet these requirements,
consult your Well-Connect dealer or local water well professional/supplier.
9. DO NOT install your unit where surrounding clearances are less than those depicted
on the next page in Figure 1.
10. DO NOT install or operate the unit where it may be subject to dusty or dirty
conditions, such as during a construction phase of building or remodeling.
SUBJECTING YOUR WELL-CONNECT TO ANY OF THE
PRECEDING UNDESIRABLE CONDITIONS SHALL VOID ALL
WARRANTIES.
