Electrical Safety
Wire motor for correct

“ELECTRICAL” section of
this manual and motor
name plate.
Ground motor before
connecting to power
supply.
Meet National Elec-
trical Code, Canadian
Electrical Code, and local
codes for all wiring.
Follow wiring instruc-
tions in this manual
when connecting motor to
power lines.
Make workshops childproof; use padlocks and master
switches; remove starter keys.
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 minutes after shut-down before
handling.
General Safety
Pump is designed as a lawn sprinkler only. To avoid
heat built-up, over pressure hazard and possible injury,
do not use in a pressure tank (domestic water) system.
Do not use as a booster pump; pressurized suction
may cause pump body to explode.
Do not allow pump or piping system to freeze. Freezing
can damage pump and pipe, may lead to injury from
equipment failure and will void warranty.
Pump water only with this pump.
Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Wear safety glasses at all times when working on or
around pumps.
Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted;
store properly all unused tools and equipment.
Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.
Before You Install Your Pump
NOTICE: Well must not be more than 20’ depth to
water.
1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction and
reduce flow. Locate pump as close to well as
possible: use as few elbows and fittings as possible.
2. Be sure well is clear of sand. Sand will plug the
pump and void the warranty.
3. Protect pump and all piping from freezing. Freezing
will split pipe, damage pump and void the warranty.
Check locally for frost protection requirements
(usually pipe must be 12” below frost line and pump
must be insulated).
4. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in
good shape.
5. No air pockets in suction pipe.
6. No leaks in suction pipe. Use PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape to seal pipe joints.
7. Unions installed near pump and well will aid in
servicing. Leave room use wrenches.
8.
Pump body may explode if used
as a booster pump. DO NOT use in a booster
appli cation.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn, or
cause death.
Ground pump before
connecting to power
supply.
WARNING
Hazardous pressure!
Do not run pump
against closed discharge.
Release all pressure on
