Note: A foot valve (not included), installed on the suction inlet, is recommended to insure that the pump will keep it prime. 5. Lay out the intake and discharge pipes with as few turns as possible to prevent air pockets within the lines. Air pockets interfere with pressure switch performance. 6. Intake and discharge pipes must have a minimum of 1” to 1-1/4” diameter. Systems with larger vertical components should have larger diameter piping. Keep in mind that the maximum vertical lift (total vertical distance from the inlet screen to the discharge outlet) is 140 feet. 7. For your protection, the power outlet used should have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Have it installed by a qualified electrician. Keep the power line safely away from water. 8. The inlet and discharge lines should not be wedged or stressed in a way that puts strain on the pump. Do not support the pump with the inlet and discharge lines. 9. This is a self starting pump that uses a pressure switch. Once the power cord is connected, the pump can start at any time. Do not handle or perform maintenance on the pump if the power cord is plugged in. REV 12/05 SKU 47906 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4 FIGURE 1 Discharge Intake Pressure Meter Priming Valve Inlet Air Valve (not visible) FIGURE 1 Discharge Intake Pressure Meter Priming Valve Inlet Air Valve (not visible) Note: Compression Tank (#1A) has a rubber bladder inside. This bladder must be pumped up with between 21 and 29 PSI of air at all times. On the end of the Compression Tank opposite the side with the Pressure Meter, is an air valve located under a cover. Remove the cover over the air valve and periodically monitor this air valve with an air pressure gauge to insure that the rubber bladder maintains the required 21 to 29 PSI. Operation Warning! Never pump liquids containing abrasive materials such as sand. Never pump flammable, corrosive, or volatile liquids. Warning! Never plug in the power cord when wet or standing on damp or wet ground. Do not plug in the power cord until step number 4 below. 1. Make sure the intake pipe is fully submerged before operating the pump. 2. Gently insert a screwdriver into the motor shaft and make sure the shaft turns freely. (See Figure 1) 3. Important Note: Before starting the pump for the first time, prime it by pouring clean water into the Priming Valve Inlet (see Figure 1). If water leaks from the drain valve underneath the pump, securely close it and refill the unit. NOTE: It is necessary that you install a foot valve (not included), if you are drawing water from a source that is lower than the pump. The foot valve should be installed on the bottom of the inlet pipe. A foot valve is a one way valve that will only allow the water to flow in one direction. This should prevent the need to prime the pump every time you use it by keeping the water in the inlet pipe from draining out after the pump is turned off. Check the pump for prime each time you use it. Running the pump dry will damage it. 4. To begin pumping, plug in the power cord.

Page 5 Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution The pump won’t start No power Blocked Impeller Pressure switch disconnected Thermal Protection cut out Check connections Free the motor shaft Check gauge Allow pump to cool The pump operates but it won’t discharge water Inlet tube not submerged Air in suction pipe Inlet screen clogged Lifting height exceeded Submerge the inlet Check pipe and seals Clean screen Reduce lifting height Pump has low capacity Inlet pipe is too small Liquid is too dirty Lifting height exceeded Tank’s rubber bladder under- inflated. Increase pipe diameter Clean screen frequently Reduce lifting height Inflate to 21- 29 PSI Never disassemble the pump or motor as this will damage the water seals. All repairs should be performed by a qualified technician. Maintenance Always disconnect pump from power source before attempting any maintenance. 1. Clean the inlet screen regularly to remove accumulated debris. 2. Use air pressure gauge to test air pressure in Tank’s rubber bladder. Air pressure should range between 21and 29 PSI. 3. Wipe the pump clean with a soft, damp cloth with soapy water. Do not use solvents. Do not get the electrical components wet. 4. If storing the pump for a long time, store it in a dry location, and apply a light layer of oil to the metal parts prior to storage, to inhibit rust. 5. To drain the pump, disconnect the water lines and turn it upside down.
