ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
Assembly & Operation
When us ng a Waterra Hydrol ft-2 pump to
purge and sample a monitoring well, it is very impor-
tant that the Hydrolift be firmly attached to the well.
If the pump is not properly attached it may fall off the
casing causing injury and possibly damaging the pump
and other equipment. Hang the Hydrolift-2 on the
PVC or protective casing by the front forks on the
Hydrolift. The Hydrolift is supplied with a ratchet
t e-down belt. The belt is looped through the gap
behind the front forks of the Hydrolift and around the
protective casing and tightened until the Hydrolift is
firmly attached to the casing.
Open the Tub ng Clamp located on the
adjustable clamp arm and place the tubing in the
clamp’s jaws, leaving enough tubing (approximately 5
feet) above the jaws to allow the tubing to reach the
tubing discharge clamp, and then tighten the clamp
until the jaws are completely closed.The tubing clamp
is designed to accept 1" OD, 5/8" OD and 1/2" OD
polyethylene or Teflon tubing. Now position the tub-
ing such that it will not chafe on the well casing and
lock the clamp arm in place by inserting the clevis pin
through the fork and the mating hole in the clamp
arm.
Features
The Waterra Hydrol ft-2 is an elec-
trically powered mechanical drive
mechanism which pumps water by
repeatedly lifting and dropping a tubing
and footvalve assembly that is extended
below the water surface in a well. The
Hydrolift-2 components include a 700
watt (3/4 hp) electric D.C. motor inte-
gral with a 15:1 gear reducer which dri-
ves a linear pump mechanism.This drive
mechanism includes a sliding post that
extends beyond the pump body and
supports the tubing clamp arm. The
pump is designed to hang from the protective well casing and is secured in
place with a ratchet belt.All components on the pump are fully adjustable to
permit operation in wells of varying diameters. The pumping speed is also
fully adjustable to accommodate variable well depths and flow rate require-
ments.
Safety First
Stand clear of the Hydrolift-2 when in use.The rapid up and down motion
of the drive shaft creates a potential hazard.
Always secure your pump to the well casing securely before starting the
pump, making sure that adequate clearance exists between the reciprocating
shaft and the well head. Never move the pump when connected to a power
source.
Before start ng your Waterra Hydrolift-2 pump, be sure that there is
enough tubing (approximately 5 feet) between the tubing clamp and the tub-
ing discharge clamp. Also ensure that the tubing clamp and pump are posi-
tioned so that the tubing will not chafe on the well casing. Lastly, ensure that
the Hydrolift-2 is firmly strapped onto the protective casing or PVC pipe and
will not come loose while in operation.

Hydrolift Bellows and Drive S aft
It is important that the bellows (part #13)* are inspected on a regular basis
for holes, tears or abrasion.This part protects the mechanical components
from dirt which will aggravate wear. If this part becomes worn, replace it
immediately. The three fastening screws at the base of the bellows can be
removed, allowing the bellows to be lifted up and providing some access to
the sliding post on the sliding block (part #38)*.The sliding post can be lubri-
cated with white grease.
We also recommend that after every 100 hours of use, all screws be checked
and tightened if loose. We recommend that you return your Hydrolift-2
pump to Waterra if it develops a mechanical problem or if it needs mainte-
nance. eep your pump clean,as this will improve the lift and reliability of the
machine.

Starting t e Hydrolift-2
Before starting the Hydrolift-2 check again that the
unit is firmly attached to the well casing and that
sufficient tubing (approximately 5 feet) exists
between the tubing clamp and the tubing discharge
clamp.Adjust the speed control knob to the mini-
mum setting and check that the unit is switched off
before attaching the power cord.
WARNING: The Hydrolift-2 is not intended for operation in wet condi-
tions.Waterra recommends to be sure that you are well insulated in order
to avoid shocks. Use rubber gloves and rubber boots and do not splash
water on the Hydrolift. eep the extension cord dry and out of puddles.
