CAUTION: Make certain that the power source
matches the pump requirements. Pump has a
dual voltage motor and can run on 115 V or 230
V. Pump is pre-set at the factory to run on
230 V.
To change pump/tank voltage, remove the
square voltage switch cover at the top of pump/
tank and move the voltage switch as shown.

CAUTION: All pumps must be primed by filling the cavity with water before they are first operated. This will take several gallons
of water, as the suction line must be filled in addition to the cavity of pump/tank. Depending on the length of suction pipe, many gallons
may be needed to fill the entire system.

a. Remove pressure gauge or discharge
tee plug (not included) from the top of the
discharge tee (not included). Remove the
vent plug in front of the discharge tee.
b. Slowly fill the discharge tee with water
until water overflows the vent plug
opening. NOTE: Before turning on
pump/tank, loosely replace vent plug and
open several outlets or faucets to allow
water flow during priming.
c. Check to be sure water in the cavity of
pump/tank stays constant. If water level
goes down, it could indicate a leak in
the foot valve, check valve or suction
pipe. If water remains constant, wrap the
pressure gauge or discharge tee plug
and vent plug threads with thread tape
and thread into pump/tank. Tighten with
wrench (not included).

c. Air pressure in the tank must be 2 PSI
lower than the “cut-in” of the pressure
switch. Pump/tank has a 20/40 PSI
pressure switch, so tank pressure must
be set at 18 PSI. Check pressure with
a tire gauge (not included) and add or
subtract air as needed.
