PREPARING TO START THE PUMP – DEEP WELL
WIRING CONNECTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Can shock, burn or kill.
Connect ground wire before connecting power supply wires. Use
the wire size (including the ground wire) specified in the wiring
chart. If possible, connect the pump to a dedicated branch
circuit (one with no other appliances on it).
RISK OF EXPLOSION. Do not ground to a gas supply
line.
RISK OF FIRE. Incorrect voltage can cause a fire or
seriously damage the motor and voids the warranty. The supply
voltage must be within ±10% of the motor nameplate voltage.
NOTE Dual-voltage motors may be set for 115 V or 230 V. If
necessary, reset the motor to the desired voltage, as shown. Do
not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in compliance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and with all local codes and
ordinances that apply. Consult your local building inspector for
code information.

CONNECTION PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure 16. The
ground wire must be a solid copper wire the same or larger
gauge as the power supply wires.
2. There must be a solid metal connection between the
pressure switch and the motor for motor grounding
protection. If the pressure switch is not connected to the
motor, connect the green ground screw in the switch to the
green ground screw under the motor end cover. Use a solid
copper wire the same or larger gauge as the power supply
wires.
3. Connect the ground wire to a grounded lead in a service
panel, to a metal underground water pipe, to a metal well
casing at least ten feet (3 m) long, or to a ground electrode
provided by the power company or the hydro authority.
4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure switch as
shown in Figure 16.
You have just completed the wiring for your pump. Please go to
