NOTICE
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
Pump connection must comply with National Electric
Code (NEC) or Canadian Electric Code (CEC), and all
applicable local codes.
All dual voltage units come factory preset for 230
volts. (Figure 3)
Disconnect power at electrical panel before making any
electrical connections.
Supply voltage must be +/- 10% of motor nameplate
voltage. Low or high voltage can damage the motor and
will void the warranty.
If possible, connect pump to dedicated branch circuit with
no other appliances on it.
Do not operate pump unless pump is grounded
DUAL VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: To change the motor voltage(Figure 4) unplug the
dual voltage connector on the motor and reconnect it in
the position required to match the available electrical
system. The motor can be set for 115 volts or 230 volts.
The voltage setting of the motor can be determined by
looking at the alignment of the arrow on the plug and the
arrow on the motor terminal board (located under the
motor's end cover). Any questions as to which voltage
setting is required for proper motor and pump operation
in your system should be directed to an electrical
professional. The factory preset is 230 volts.

115V
NOTICE: Check motor terminal cover or nameplate for
wiring instructions. The essential pump motor facts are as
follows:
1. 3450 RPM
2. Single Phase
3. Dual Voltage, 115/230
4. 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1-1/2 Horsepower motors are wired for
230 volts as a factory standard.
Note that all wiring is subject to offi cial inspection and
must conform to the local electrical code. Install a circuit
breaker or fused disconnect switch near the pump.
Remove the cover from the pressure switch. Connect the
incoming power wires to the LINE terminals and the
230V

Pump should not be primed until plumbed together
green or bare wire to the ground screw, then ground the
entire unit. Refer back to FIGURE 3 for internal sketch of
pressure switch.
OPERATION
PRIMING (FIGURE 5)
The motor should not be started before pump is primed.
This is a self-priming pump only when fi lled with water.
To prime the pump, fi ll the pump case and suction
pipe completely with water. All air must be vented from
the suction line prior to starting the pump. To assist in this
venting process a suction line T may be necessary.
Install discharge and suction fi ttings securely to ensure
there are no system leaks. When installling the discharge
piping, it would be useful to include a capped "Priming T",
to allow for easy re-priming without removing or
disassembling the rest of the system plumbing.
Close all system outlets, then slightly crack one system
outlet to allow for excess air to bleed from the plumbing
system. Start the pump. Water will start pumping in a few
minutes; the time is dependent on the distance to the
water source. If after a few minutes of running you do not
get water, repeat priming process as all air was not
discharged from the pump. Once the pump is operating,
open system outlets slowly and let pump operate until
water runs clear. If after a reasonable time your water
continues to run sandy or dirty, check with your contractor
for further instructions. No further priming should be
necessary unless the pump is drained for repair or
storage, there is a leak in the suction line plumbing, or
there is a failure of the system's foot or check valves.
