Electrical Safety Instructions

WARNING! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND COMPLY WITH ALL
CODES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
. Before installing or servicing your pump, BE
CERTAIN THE PUMP POWER SOURCE IS TURNED OFF
AND DISCONNECTED.
2. All installation and electrical wiring must
adhere to state and local codes. Check with appropriate
community agencies, or contact your local electrical and
pump professionals for help.
3. CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT. Pump must be
connected to a separate electrical circuit directly from the
entrance box. There must be an appropriately sized fuse
or circuit breaker in this line. Tying into existing circuits
may cause circuit overloading, blown fuses, tripped circuit
breakers, or a burned-up motor.
4. Do not connect pump to a power supply until the pump is
grounded. For maximum safety, a ground fault interrupter
should be used. CAUTION: FAILURE TO GROUND THIS UNIT
PROPERLY MAY RESULT IN SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
5. WARNING: Reduced risk of electric shock during
operation of this pump requires the provision
of acceptable grounding: a) If the means of
connection to the supply-connection box is
other than grounded metal conduit, ground
the pump back to the service by connecting a
copper conductor, at least the size of the circuit
conductors supplying the pump, to the grounding screw
provided within the wiring compartment. b) This pump
is provided with a means for grounding. To reduce the
risk of electric shock from contact with adjacent metal
parts, bond supply box to the pump-motor-grounding
means and to all metal parts accessible at the well
head, including metal discharge pipes, metal well
casing, and the like, by means of the following...
b1. An equipment-grounding conductor at least the
size of the well cable conductors, or the equivalent,
that runs down the well with the well cable and, b2.
A clamp, a weld, or both if necessary, secured to the
equipment-grounding lead, the equipment-grounding
terminal, or the grounding conductor on the pump
housing. The equipment-grounding lead, if one is
provided, is the conductor that has an outer surface of
insulation that is green with or without one or more
yellow stripes.
6. The voltage and phase of the power supply must match
the voltage and phase of the pump.
7. Do not use an extension cord; splices must be made with
an approved splice kit and should be checked for integrity
before submerging in water; above ground joints must be
made in an approved junction box.
8. Do not work on this pump or switch while the power is
on.
9. Never operate a pump with a frayed or brittle power cord,
and always protect it from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil
and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
0. Never service a motor or power cord with wet hands or
while standing in or near water or damp ground.

. Single phase motors are either two wire units (two black
power wires and a green ground), or three wire units (three
power leads red, black, and yellow and a green ground).
The three wire units require a control box. Make sure the
control box matches the motor in voltage, horsepower,
and phase.
2. Single phase motors are equipped with automatic resetting
thermal protectors. The motor may restart unexpectedly
causing the leads to energize or pump to turn. Three
phase motors should be protected by proper thermal and
amperage protection. (Check local codes.)
3. Check for nicks in the wire and pump insulation by using
an ohmmeter and checking resistance to ground before
installing the pump and after installing the pump. If in
doubt on the proper procedure, check with a qualified
electrician.
4. The three phase units must be wired by a qualified
electrician, using an approved starter box and switching
device.
5. Do not use this pump in or near a swimming pool, pond,
lake or river.
6. Do not pump gasoline, chemicals, corrosives or flammable
liquids; they could ignite, explode, or damage the pump,
causing injury and voiding the warranty.
Mechanical Safety Instructions
7. Do not run this pump with the discharge
completely closed. This will create superheated
water, which could damage the seal and shorten
the life of the motor. This superheated water could
also cause severe burns. Always use a pressure
relief valve, set below the rating of the tank or
system.
8. Pump is capable of building pressures in excess
of 00 PSI. Always use a pressure relief valve.
9. The well, cistern, or pit must be sealed to
prevent a child, animal or foreign object from
falling in.
20. While the well seal or cap is removed for repairs, cover the
well to prevent foreign matter from entering, contaminating
the well, and possibly damaging the pump.
2. Test well water for potability; chlorinating the well or
purifying is recommended every time the well is opened.
Check with local health departments for testing and
sanitizing procedures.
CAUTION!
22. The following may cause severe damage to the pump and
void warranty. It could also result in personal injury:
Running the pump dry, failure to protect the pump from
below freezing temperatures, running the pump with the
discharge completely closed, or pumping chemicals or
corrosive liquids.
23. Never work on the pump or system without relieving the
internal pressure.
24. Do not pump water above 20° Fahrenheit.
25. Never exceed the pressure rating of any system component.
