a) Pump Location: The pump should be installed in a clean, dry and
ventilated location which provides adequate room for servicing and
protection from freezing temperatures. It should be bolted to a good
foundation, preferably concrete and provided adequate drainage.
Locating the pump as close as possible to the water source reduces
the friction in the suction pipe and will give maximum capacities.
b) Suction pipe: It is recommended that only new, clean 1-1/4 inch
pipe or hose be used. If the pump is installed any appreciable dis-
tance away from the source of water, the suction pipe should be
increased to 1-1/2 inch. Horizontal lengths of pipe must gradually
slope upwards from the source of water to the pump to avoid air
pockets in the line. Thread compound should be used on all pipe
joints and connections should be thoroughly tightened. A foot valve
must be installed and its operation should be checked since a
leak will prevent proper operation of the system. Make sure that
the foot valve is located so that it will be submerged at all times.
If a sand point or driven well is used, install a check valve next
to the pump suction instead of the foot valve. For booster pump
applications no foot valve is required.
c) Service Line: The service line should be connected as shown in
Fig. 1. The size of the service line required is governed entirely
by the amount of water needed and the length of the pipe. The
pipe selected should be large enough so that the friction loss
(determined fromTable 2, Friction Loss Chart) will never exceed
a 20 ft. (6m) head.
This jet sprinkler pump is a versitile pump for pressure boosting: small
underground sprinkler systems: operating lawn sprinklers and a multi-
tude of other general purpose applications. This pump is suitable for
installations where the vertical distance from the pump to the water level
does not exceed *25 ft. (7.6m), including drawdown. In offset installa-
tions, friction losses in the suction pipe must be taken into consideration.
(Refer to Table 2, Friction loss Chart).
*Less at high altitudes.
WARNING - ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
All wiring, electrical connections, and system grounding
must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
with any local codes and ordinances. Employ a licensed
electrician.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding
type attachment plug.
. To reduce risk of electrical shock, be certain that it is connected
only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
. A ground fault interrupter (GFI) protected circuit is recommended
for use with any electrical device operating near water.
. Have an electrician provide an outlet near the point of use. For
recommended cable size see table 1.
. Pump and motor must be protected from the weather, for indoor use
only.
. Motor must be grounded and terminal cover in place to reduce
electrical shock hazard.
. Keep motor operating area as dry as possible.
. Always disconnect power before servicing.
. Not investigated for use in swimming pool area.

Summary

Safety Warnings

Electrical Precautions

All wiring, electrical connections, and system grounding must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes. Employ a licensed electrician.

Dual Voltage Motors

Voltage change instructions are located on the motor label or on the wiring access cover.

Risk of Electrical Shock

Use the grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Connect only to a properly grounded receptacle.

Application

Offset Installations

In offset installations, friction losses in the suction pipe must be taken into consideration. Refer to Table 2.

Performance

Installation

Pump Location

Install pump in a clean, dry, ventilated location, protected from freezing, and bolted to a good foundation.

Suction Pipe

Use new, clean 1-1/4 inch pipe. Slope upwards. Use thread compound. Install foot valve or check valve.

Service Line

Size service line based on water needs and pipe length to avoid excessive friction loss (max 20 ft head).

Operation - Priming the Pump

Priming

Fill casing and suction line with water. Repeat if necessary. Check for leaks if priming takes too long (max 25 min).

Draining

Shut off power, release pressure, remove drain and priming plugs to drain pump and tank for freezing protection.

Maintenance

Electrical Precautions

All wiring must comply with NEC and local codes. Employ a licensed electrician.

Risk of Electrical Shock

Shut off power at the main electrical panel before servicing. Use safe working practices.

Lubrication

The pump requires no lubrication. Refer to motor manufacturer's instructions.

Cleanout Plug

Provides access to clean nozzle/venturi. Shut off power and release pressure before removal.

Replacing Mechanical Seal

Detailed steps for disassembly and reassembly of the mechanical seal, including part identification.

Troubleshooting Guide

Motor Will Not Start

Check for power issues like blown fuses, open switches, or loose connections.

Pump Fails to Deliver Water

Check for leaks, plugged components, excessive suction lift, or improper impeller rotation.

Pump Losses Prime

Investigate air leaks in the suction line, well drawdown issues, or a faulty foot valve.

Pump Delivers Water But Not at Rated Capacity

Verify suction/discharge line leaks, plugged parts, suction lift, impeller rotation, or low line voltage.

Limited Warranty

Warranty Period

12 months from purchase date, or manufacture date if proof of purchase is absent.

Labor, Etc. Costs

The company is not liable for field labor or other charges incurred in removing/affixing products.
