INSTALLATION CHECK LIST
• Enter the pump and motor information and other requested data on the front
of this manual.
• Inspect all components for shipping damage, report damage to the distributor
immediately.
• Verify that motor HP and pump HP match.
• Match power supply voltage and phase to motor and control specications.
• Select a dry, shaded location in which to mount the controls.
• Make all underwater and underground splices with waterproof splice
connections.
• Hold the pump at the discharge head when installing threaded pipe or an
adapter tting as most pumps have left hand threads which will be loosened if
you hold the pump anyplace except the discharge head.
• Check all plumbing connections to insure they are tight and sealed with Teon
tape.
• Verify that the pipe pressure rating is higher than pump shut-off pressure.
• Install a pressure relief valve on any system capable of creating over 75 PSI. The
system pressure cannot exceed the tank's maximum pressure rating.
• Locating the tank and controls in an area protected from rain, spray and other
environmental factors may prolong their useful life. Especially in areas with
acid rain and saline water.
• Locate the pressure switch within 4' of the pressure tank to prevent switch chat-
ter.
• Adjust tank pre-charge to 2 PSI below the system cut-in pressure setting, ex. 28
on a 30/50 system.
• Set the pump 10' above the well bottom to keep above sediment and debris.
• Insure that main power is disconnected, turned OFF, before wiring any compo-
nents.
• Wiring should be performed only by qualied technicians.
• Wiring and Grounding must be in compliance with national and local codes.
• Restrict the ow with a ball or globe valve, 1/3 open, before starting pump for
rst time.
• Open a faucet or discharge valve on start-up to keep dirty water from entering
the tank.
• Turn main breaker or disconnect ON.
• Run through several on/off cycles to verify proper switch operation.
• Check amps and enter the data on the front of this manual.
• Leave the manual with the owner or at the job site.
PUMP PROTECTION
We recommend using SymCom’s PumpSaver to protect the system
from low water, rapid cycling, high/low voltage, dead heading/ow
restriction and overcurrent.
