should not need priming again unless air enters the
pump or the inlet line.
2. Install the priming plug.
3. Make sure all plumbing connections are tight.

1. Turn off power to the pump!
2. Determine if the circuit for the pump is 115 or 230 volts.
3. Qualified person must install electrical wiring.
4. The voltage switch is factory set to 230 volts for 3/4, 1,
1-1/2, and some 1/2 HP motors. Some 1/2 HP motors are
preset at the factory for 115 volts.
5. To change the motor voltage (if necessary), a) remove
the motor capacitor cover and slide the switch to the
correct voltage, or b) remove the motor end cover and
turn the dial switch to the correct setting.

High pressure. Risk of high heat and possible
explosion if pump is run with outlet closed.
• DO NOT run the pump without
water, and never operate it with a
closed outlet line.
• DO NOT connect hoses
to the pump.
• DO NOT connect to pressurized
supply (city water or other
pump's output) unless safety
devices are properly installed.
• DO NOT reduce the pipe size for inlet or outlet
lines.
• DO have an air-tight inlet line.
• DO read and follow the instructions in the manual.
• DO have electrical and plumbing systems
installed by qualified professionals.
• Some pumps are not recommended for use as a booster.
Consult factory or refer to owners manual to determine
if the product can be applied as a booster.
