Grounding Instructions
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
power cord plug provided with the tool.
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do
not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged.

Grounding
Pin
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through
the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically
“live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should
look like those in the preceding illustration.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
4. This pump is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above in
125 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet. The pump has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
above in 125 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.
5. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances.

Installation
The well motor pump must be installed in a stationary position with a fixed pipeline and a steady water supply.
Please note!
1. Do not install the pump by suspending
it unsupported from its delivery pipe.
The pump must be placed on the bottom of the shaft.
2. The pump must be installed with an automatic
float switch (not included) to prevent running dry.
Power Supply
1. The pump is equipped with a shock-proof plug
according to regulations. The pump is designed
to be connected to 120V~, 60Hz safety socket.
2. Make sure that the socket is sufficiently
secured and is in excellent condition.
3. When the plug is inserted into the socket
the pump will be on standby.
WARNING! If the power cord or plug is damaged,
do not use the pump. The power cord or plug
may only be repaired by a certified electrician.
Installation Considerations
This pump is designed for use as a well pump.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Install indoors or in weather-proof well house only.
This Pump is non-submersible.
Do not plug in the power cord when wet
or standing on damp or wet ground.
Do not plug in the power cord until instructed to do so.
NOTE:
a. ONLY pump clean water.
b. Additional components (such as valves and pipes)
may be required for installation, but not included.
c. Installation requires skilled workmanship
and compliance with local building codes.
If you are not confident in your ability to
properly and safely install this pump, have a
qualified technician perform the installation.
d. The water to be pumped must be clean and
must be free of sand and grit, which would
damage the pump and void the warranty.
1. The illustration below shows an example of a proper
shallow well pump installation. The total suction lift
(vertical well lift + length of off-set line) must
not exceed Maximum Suction Lift.

Figure C: Pump Setup Example
Note: This pump is intended for shallow well application
only and is not intended to be used as a booster pump.
Note: For optimal performance, install the pump
as close to the well head as possible.
2. Install a Foot Valve at the bottom of
the suction pipe. The Foot Valve must be
under the Pumping Water Level, the level that
the water falls to when the pump operates.

Page 5For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.Item 69302 & 69305
3. Install a sterile Well Seal at the top of the suction
pipe to keep the well clean. Protect from
rust inside a frost-proof enclosure.
4. Intake and discharge pipes must
be at least 1 IN. in diameter.
5. Lay an off-set line from the well to the structure
the pump will be installed in. The off-set line should
slope slightly towards the well (see Figure C).
Systems with longer off-set lines should use
larger diameter pipe to improve efficiency.
6. Install the pump on a rigid, level, dry platform.
This platform must provide a solid, level surface
that is capable of supporting the weight of
the pump and attached piping filled with water.
Do not allow water to contact the pump’s housing.
CAUTION: DO NOT INSERT fittings into the Intake
Hole farther than 1/2 IN.; this can DAMAGE the Pump,
diminish Pump functions, and/or STOP water flow.
7. Keep the Head, the height that the pump
discharge must push water before discharge, to
a minimum. The Vertical Well Lift, Off-set Line
Length, and Head added together must be less
than Maximum Delivery Height to have flow at
output. Effective flow decreases to 0 GPH as
Maximum Delivery Height reaches its maximum.
8. For your protection, the power outlet used should
have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
Have it installed by a qualified electrician.
Keep power line away from water.
9. The inlet and discharge lines should not be
wedged or stressed in a way that puts strain
on the pump. Do not support the pump
with the inlet or discharge lines.
Operation
1. The Compression Tank has a rubber bladder inside.
This bladder must be pumped up to 23 PSI of air
at all times. Use a bicycle pump (not included) to
inflate the bladder. On the end of the Compression
Tank opposite the inlet, is an air valve located
under a cover. Remove the cover over the air
valve and periodically monitor this air valve with
an air pressure gauge to insure that the rubber
bladder maintains the required air pressure.
2. Make sure the intake pipe is fully
submerged before continuing.
3. Before starting the pump for
the first time, prime it as follows:
a. Fill the suction Pipe and Pump Body
through the Priming Inlet.
b. Close the Inlet after verifying
that there are no leaks.
c. Open the spigots, faucets and/or taps
on the Delivery Pipe so that air can be
release from the suction cycle.
4. This is a self-starting pump that uses
a pressure switch. Once the power cord is
connected, the pump can start at any time.
Do not handle or perform maintenance on
the pump if the power cord is plugged in.
5. After reading these instructions,
consider the following points
before starting the pump:
a. Verify that the delivery pipe is properly connected.
b. Verify that the electrical connection
is 120V~, 60Hz.
c. Verify that the electrical socket
is in good condition.
d. Verify that water and moisture cannot
get near the power supply socket.
e. Verify that the pump is installed so
as to prevent running dry.
6. To begin pumping, plug in the power cord.
When the line is pressurized, the pump
will go to standby mode until the pressure
falls below its starting pressure.
