ELECTRICAL HOOKUP AT THE PUMP
Securing wires to pipe
5. Tape electrical cable to the pipe about every
ten feet. Use a minimum of two wraps of tape
to allow the cable to move slightly. Tape spliced
connections to the pipe to eliminate rubbing
against the well casing. A cable guard or plastic
zip ties may also be used. (Fig 5)
Ground Wire Installation (REQUIRED)
DANGER: The green ground wire from Pump
motor must be connected to power supply ground
or fatal electrical shock may result.
INSTALLATION
LOWERING PUMP INTO WELL
REMINDER: Pump and all piping must be assembled
and securely connected before the assembly is
lowered into the well.
1. Tie one end of safety rope securely to pump safety
eyelet and the other end to the well cap. This is your
only security against losing the pump down the well.
(Fig 1)
CAUTION: Be sure the top edge of the well
casing is perfectly smooth. Sharp or jagged edges
can cut or scrape the cable and cause a short.
Do not let the cable drag over the edge of the
well casing since this may cause damage to the
insulation.
2. Lower pump to approximately 20 ft. below
maximum drawdown of the water or a minimum
of 10 ft. off the bottom. Do NOT set pump on
bottom of well. (Fig 2)
