TO INSTALL IT IN COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL
AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES, AND WITH
FRANKLIN ELECTRIC RECOMMENDATIONS, MAY
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD,
UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE, AND EQUIPMENT
FAILURE. FRANKLIN INSTALLATION INFORMATION
IS AVAILABLE FROM PUMP MANUFACTURERS AND
DISTRIBUTORS, AND DIRECTLY FROM FRANKLIN
ELECTRIC. CALL FRANKLIN TOLL FREE 800-348-2420
FOR INFORMATION. RETAIN THIS INFORMATION

SERIOUS OR FATAL ELECTRICAL
W A R N I N G
SHOCK MAY RESULT FROM
FAILURE TO CONNECT THE
MOTOR, CONTROL ENCLOSURES, METAL
PLUMBING, AND ALL OTHER METAL NEAR THE
MOTOR OR CABLE, TO THE POWER SUPPLY
GROUND TERMINAL USING WIRE NO SMALLER
THAN MOTOR CABLE WIRES. TO REDUCE RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE
WORKING ON OR AROUND THE WATER SYSTEM. DO
NOT USE PUMP IN SWIMMING AREAS.
DO NOT INSTALL PUMP IN ANY LOCATION
CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS BY NATIONAL OR
LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

TEST RUNNING
If test running pump before installation:
1. Ensure the power supply corresponds with that shown
on the nameplate of the motor.
2. Install pump and components appropriate for the test.
3. Make sure power supply is turned off and circuit
breaker or disconnect switch is open. Make electrical
connections appropriate to your motor as shown in Fig.
1 or 2.
4. Run pump and motor unit for a few seconds to ensure
that it is in working order.
SUITABILITY OF WATER SOURCE
Water from an undeveloped source often contains an
excessive amount of sand, dirt, and abrasives which
can damage the pump. Make arrangements to ensure
an adequate fl ow of water over the motor for cooling
purposes. Determine the correct pump setting by
taking into account the static water level and the draw
down at the proposed pumping rate.
SPLICING THE POWER CABLE
Follow the instructions enclosed in the cable splicing
kit you purchase.
DROP PIPE
Galvanized pipe is recommended for suspending
submersible pumps. Plastic pipe may be used only
when observing the plastic pipe manufacturer's
recommendations of depth and pressure. Give special
consideration to:
1. A safety cable to prevent loss of pump if pipe should
break.
2. Torque arrestor just above pump to prevent chafi ng
the cable when pump and pipe twist during the starting
and stopping cycle. (See Figure 1)
Schedule 40 galvanized pipe is suitable for settings to
600 feet (180m). For deeper settings, use schedule 40
pipe for the bottom 600 feet (180m), and schedule 80
for the remainder.
Take great care to keep pipes clean and free from
pebbles, scale and thread chips. Make sound,
air-tight connections at all fi ttings. Pipe sealant is
recommended.
CHECK VALVES
Many pumps have a built-in or externally supplied
check valve. For a pump without one, install a
check valve immediately above the pump. Install an
additional check valve above the ground. If the pump
is more than 100 feet (30m) below the surface, install
another check valve in the drop pipe 100 feet (30m)
above it. For pump settings deeper than 200 feet
(60m), install additional check valves at intervals of 100
feet (30m).
