SEASONAL SERVICE

It is necessary to drain the entire system where the pump,

tank, and piping will be subjected to freezing. Vertical

pumps have a drain plug located on the side of the pump

casing near the bottom of the pump. Horizontal pumps

may have two drain plugs, one on the casing (part where

pipes attach) and another on the motor adapter. They are

also located near the bottom of the pump. Multi-stage

pumps also have 1 or 2 drain plugs and they may require

you to tip the pump or blow compressed air in one hole

to get all the water out of the stages.

Power the Motor

The electrical supply must be a separate branch

circuit with a properly sized breaker or fuses.

All wiring must conform to National (NEC),

CSA, state, provincial, and local codes. Power

supply voltage, phase and controls must match

motor.

NEVER RUN A PUMP DRY, DAMAGE WILL RESULT,

AND THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED!

ALWAYS DISCONNECT AND LOCK-OUT

ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WHEN IN-

STALLING OR WORKING ON PUMPS,

MOTORS, OR SWITCHES. INSURE THE

POWER SUPPLY BREAKER IS OFF OR THE

DISCONNECT (WHERE USED) IS OFF.

Remove the pressure switch cover. Attach the power

supply wires, either 115 or 230 depending on the motor

voltage, to the Line terminals of the pressure switch.

Attach the green or bare ground wire to either green

ground screw in the switch. It makes no difference which

Line terminal you attach the hot- L1 (usually Black)

and neutral- N (usually white) 115 volt wires to on the

switch. The same goes for a 230 volt hook-up, either

wire can go on either Line terminal. Re-install the switch

cover. NOTE: Motor voltage is NOT changed in the

pressure switch. See Fig. 7 in Technical Data.

Check to insure that the motor is wired to match the

incoming voltage. All motors have a sticker near the

pressure switch that identifies the pre-wired voltage. All
½

hp jet pumps are factory wired for 115 V, and ¾

hp

and larger are wired for 230V. The motor voltage must

be changed inside the motor cover, not in the pressure

switch. Make sure the breaker or disconnect is OFF

before entering the motor cover. All motors have a wir-

ing diagram on the cover label and it is also found in this

manual. See Motor Wiring Diagram, Fig. 7, in Technical

Data.

BOOSTER SYSTEMS

Use the basic instructions for either a Shallow Well or Convertible with Shallow Well Adapter. If a city water booster

system please plumb per Fig. 5

If pumping from a cistern or water tank plumb

per Fig. 6.
