PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
• Always disconnect pump from electricity before performing any work on the motor.
• Under-sized wiring can cause motor failure and even fire. Use proper wire size specified in the
Wire Size Chart.
• Replace damaged or worn wiring cord
immediately.
• Do not kink power cable and never allow the
cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot
surfaces, or chemicals.
• The pump must be properly grounded using
the proper wire cable with ground.
CAUTION:
• Protect the power cable from coming in
contact with sharp objects.
• All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with the National
Electric Code and local electric codes.
• Connect the pump to a separate electrical
circuit with a dedicated circuit breaker. Refer
to the Wire Size Chart for proper fuse size.

6. IMPORTANT: Air pressure in the tank
must be 2 PSI lower than the “cut-in” of
the pressure switch. Pump has a 20/40
PSI pressure switch, so tank pressure
must be set at 18 PSI. Locate the air
valve/stem on the tank and check
pressure with a tire gauge (not included).
If air needs to be removed, press down on
valve to bleed off air. Use a tire pump or
air compressor to add air if needed.
