Examine the components carefully to ensure that no damage has occurred to the liquid end, motor, cable or control box
during shipment. Report damage immediately to the shipping carrier or to your dealer. The Webtrol submersible pump
should remain in the shipping carton until it is ready to be installed. Do not drop or mishandle the pump prior to
installation.
Warning: The motor is equipped with an electrical cable. It should NEVER be used to lift or carry the pump.
Damage to the electrical cable can cause shock, burns or death!
Control boxes and panels should never be mounted in direct sunlight or high temperature locations as this will cause a
reduction in capacitor life and unnecessary tripping of the overload protectors. The worst place to mount a control box is
in a damp well pit, or other humid locations, as this accelerates component failure from voltage breakdown or corrosion.
Control boxes with voltage relays, 1 1/2 HP & up, are designed for vertical upright mounting only. Mounting in other posi-
tions will affect the operation of the relay.
Caution: If the pump pressure exceeds the recommended working pressure of the pressure tank, a pressure relief
valve capable of passing the entire pump flow should be installed.
Caution: Be sure that the control box HP and voltage match the motor.
The well driller should fully develop the well. All sand and foreign matter should be removed. If this pump is used to
replace an oil-filled submersible motor that has failed, the well must be bailed free of oil.
Pump performance is based upon pumping clear and cold water that is free of air or gases.
Pumps should be sized properly, for flow and head.
To test the well water for purity, contact your local health department for the proper testing procedure.
Maximum water temperature should not exceed 86°F. The pump should be installed at least, 10 feet below the maxi-
mum drawdown level but no less than 10 feet from the bottom of the well to allow for sediment build up.
The pump should be installed according to state water well codes governing the setting of pumps. All wiring must meet
National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code and local code requirements.
Pipe joint compound can cause plastic to crack. Use only teflon tape when sealing joints in plastic pipe.
