INLINE CHECK VALVE
DRIVE POINT
Figure 4
It may be necessary to supply the pump with multiple well points to
maintain the high flow capability of this pump. Consult with a plumbing
professional for appropriate materials and installation instructions.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow air to leak into the pipe and cause
poor pump operation or difficulty priming. Make sure to use pipe joint
compound or plumber's seal tape on all threaded pipe connections.
DUG WELL, CISTERN, LAKE AND SPRING
INSTALLATION
• Install a foot valve on the inlet pipe and lower into the water.
Locate foot valve no closer than 2 feet from the
bottom of the well so sand or sediment is not
drawn into the system.
NOTE: When a lake is used for the water supply, make sure the suction
pipe is deep enough to be submerged at all times. Slope the pipe upward
toward the pump to eliminate trapping air. The pipe must be removed
during winter months or protected against freezing.
Protect the pipe from damage by swimmers and
boaters. Install a screen around the inlet pipe to
prevent the entrapment of swimmers.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Connect the pump to a separate electrical circuit with a dedicated
circuit breaker. Refer to the electrical specifications in wiring chart for
recommended fuse and wire size.
Install and maintain wiring for this pump in accordance with the National
Electrical code and all applicable local electrical codes.
The motor must be grounded by connecting a copper conductor to the
grounding screw provided within the wiring compartment.
TO PUMP
The voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump. The
WLS75, WLS100 and WLS150 have dual voltage motors preset at the
factory to 230 volts. The motors can be converted to 115 volts by turning
the voltage selector to the desired voltage (See Figure 5). Use a needle
nose pliers to pull the selector out approximately 1/4", rotate and then
reinsert in correct position. NOTE: The WLS200 cannot be converted;
the motor is 230 volts only.

CONNECTING WIRES

Terminal cover must be in place for safe operation. Ground in accordance
with local and national electrical codes. Keep fingers and objects away
from openings and rotating parts. Disconnect power sources before
touching internal parts. See Figure 6 for appropriate wiring locations.
