BEFORE INSTALLING PUMP, BE SURE TO READ
THIS OWNER'S MANUAL CAREFULLY.
C A U T I O N
Mechanical shaft seals do not run dry.
Fill pump with water before starting or pump will be
damaged. The motor on this pump is guaranteed by
the manufacturer and in event of failure it must be
returned to an authorized service station for repairs.
Motor warranty is void if repairs aren't made by an
authorized repair station.
INSTALLATION
SUCTION PIPING
The pump should be installed as close as possible to
the source of water in order to minimize the length of
suction piping. The suction pipe should never be smaller
in diameter than the suction opening of the pump. It
must be free of all leaks, and should slope continuously
upward from the water source to the pump with no high
spots, which can trap air. A foot valve must be used to
maintain the prime.
GENERAL PIPING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to avoid strain on the pump, both the suction
and discharge piping should be properly supported and a
pipe wrench should be put on the suction and discharge
bosses when installing pipes in them.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
W A R N I N G
If power cord suffers damages,
consider this product does not allow partial
replacement and therefore should be fully replaced.
Remove the end cover (canopy) from the motor, and
using the diagram on top of the motor, make sure it is
connected for the correct voltage.
The motors on "DD" Series pumps are designed to be
used with either 115 or 230 Volt supply by changing
connections as shown on the diagram on the motor.
C A U T I O N
Connecting the motor to the wrong
voltage can cause serious damage.
Table 1 lists branch fuse size ratings and recommended
supply wire for each pump.
GROUNDING THE MOTOR
Make sure that the green lead wire is securely connected
to the green ground terminal screw on the motor
terminal board (Figure 1). This wire must be connected
to the electrical system ground (provided by the power
company) or to another adequate ground.
C A U T I O N
Failure to ground the pump properly
can result in serious or fatal injury.
