For best possible performance. . .continuous, satisfactory
operation, read these instructions before installing your new
pump. Should service be required, this manual can be a valuable guide. It
should be kept near the pump installation for ready reference.

Deep Well Installation
Under certain conditions, horizontal multi-
stage pumps can develop extremely high
pressure. Install a pressure relief valve
capable of passing entire pump flow at 75 PSI.
Do not allow pump, pressure tank, piping, or any
other system component containing water to freeze.
Freezing may damage system, leading to injury or flood-
ing. Allowing pump or system components to freeze will
void warranty.
NOTICE: Support pump base to avoid strain on casing adapter
or pump. Lack of support can damage adapter or pump.
Figure 2 shows casing adapter bolted directly to pump body.
Shallow Well Installation
NOTICE: If no foot valve is used, install 1” check valve in
horizontal line.
Priming the Deep Well Pump
To prime pump, completely close the priming valve located
just below the suction opening by turning screw clockwise.
This valve will be left closed during operation in a deep well
installation. See Figure 1.
Close regulator adjusting valve, located on end of regulator,
by turning stem clockwise. See Figure 1.
Remove priming plug from top of regulator valve, see Figure
1, and fill with clean water. Replace plug.
Start pump and run a few moments.
If pressure does not build up, remove priming plug and refill
with more water. All of the trapped air in pump body was not
removed.
Restart pump.
When pump is completely primed and builds up pressure,
slowly open the regulator valve, (turn counter-clockwise), and
observe the pressure reading on the pressure gauge.
When the pump reaches a point where it will lose prime, cavi-
tation noise can be heard.
The best, or correct, pressure gauge setting is approximately
3 pounds higher than the pressure gauge reading was when
the pump started to lose prime.
If pump loses prime, repeat the priming procedure above and
this time open regulator valve only until the correct pressure
reading is reached.
If a vacuum gauge is available, screw it into the 1/8” AVC
tapping on front of tank body. Adjust regulator until 20” of
vacuum is registered on the gauge. Tighten locknut on regu-
lator. This method will give maximum performance of the
unit.
Pumps come equipped with 30-50 PSI pressure switches.
When pump is used with precharged tank in system, set tank
pre-charge at 28 PSI. Check tank pre-charge annually with
an ordinary tire gauge. Pre-charge is set with no water pres-
sure on system.

Priming the Shallow Well Pump
Never run pump dry. Running pump without
water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and pos-
sibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with
water before starting.
Never run pump against closed discharge.
To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous
pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding per-
sons handling pump.
To prime the pump, completely open the priming valve locat-
ed just below the suction opening on the tank body by turning
the valve stem counter-clockwise all the way until it stops.
This valve may be left open during operation as a shallow
well pump with no jet. See Figure 3 and “NOTICE” below.
Remove priming plug from top of elbow (see Figure 3), and
fill with clean water. Replace plug.
Start pump and between 45-60 seconds. If water is not being
pumped, turn off pump and repeat priming process.
NOTICE: If a bolt-on jet is being used, after pump is primed,
close the priming valve during operation as a shallow well
pump.
Service – Draining for Winter
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern
motors are designed to operate at high temperatures. To
avoid burns when servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 min-
utes after shut-down before handling.
When the pump is to be disconnected from service, or is in
danger of freezing, it should be drained. The pump has a
drain plug which must be removed. Remove the priming plug
to vent the pump.

Motor Switch Settings
Dual-voltage motors (motors that can operate at either 115 or
230 volts), are set at the factory to 230 volts. Do not change
motor voltage setting if line voltage is 230 volts, or if you have
a single voltage motor.
NOTE: Never wire a 115 volt motor to a 230 volt line.
Remove Motor End Cover
If you have a dual-voltage motor, and will connect it to 115
volts, follow the procedure below.
You will need to remove the motor end cover to change the
voltage setting.
Your motor terminal board (located under the motor end
cover) should look like that shown below.
To change to 115 volts:
1. Make sure power is off.
2. Turn the dial counter-clockwise until 115 shows in the dial
window.
3. The wires from the pressure switch should already be
attached to to power lead terminals.
4. Reinstall the Motor end cover.
Pressure Switch Wiring
Step 5. Go to Wiring Connections below.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill.
Connect ground wire before connecting power supply
wires. Use the wire size (including the ground wire) speci-
fied in the wiring chart. If possible, connect the pump to a
separate branch circuit with no other appliances on it.
Explosion hazard. Do not ground to a gas
supply line.
Electrical
Disconnect power before working on pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring.

Power supply wires connect here.
230 Volt: Connect 2 hot wires (black and red)
here and cap the white (neutral) wire. It does
not matter which wire goes to which screw.
115 Volt: Connect one hot wire (black or red)
to one of these screws (it doesn't matter
which one). Connect the white (neutral) wire
to the other screw. Cap any remaining
black or red wires.

Fire hazard. 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.
NOTICE: Dual-voltage motors are factory wired for 230 volts.
If necessary, reconnect the motor for 115 volts, 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 inspec-
tor for code information.
Connection Procedure:
1. Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure 6. The
ground wire must be a solid copper wire at least as large
as the power supply wires.
2. There must be a solid metal connection between the pres-
sure switch and the motor for motor grounding protection.
If the pressure switch is not connected to the motor, con-
nect the green ground screw in the switch to the green
ground screw under the motor end cover. Use a solid cop-
per wire at least as large 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 (3M) 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 6.
