Installation / Maintenance

INSTALLATION
Thread the pump into the top of the casing of a driven
well or bolt it to the cover of a dug well.
NOTE: The base of the pump comes ready for use with a
1-1/4" pipe or it can be reduced with a bushing for use
with a 1" pipe. Be certain there is a drop pipe extending
down into the well water from the pitcher pump. The
cap is adjustable for a wide range of handle positions.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only Teflon tape or Teflon based joint com-
pounds for making all threaded connections to the
pump itself. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suc-
tion pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If the
suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able
to pull water from the well.
Priming the Pump
Never operate pump dry. Operating the
pump without water may cause damage to the cup leather.
ALWAYS fill pump with water before starting to pump.
NOTICE: The pump may need to be primed more than
once before you can lift water. For best operation a foot
valve should be installed at the bottom of the suction line.
Figure 1: Prime the Pump
For parts or assistance, call
The pitcher pump must be primed before lifting water
(Figure 1). Pour water in the top of the pitcher pump
until it runs out of the spout. Wait 5 minutes until the
cup leather swells enough to make contact with the
pump wall. If necessary add more water.
