motors may operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns
when servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes
after shut-down before handling.
Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze.
To do so will void warranty.
Keep safety labels in good

PERIPHERAL VANE PUMP
INSTALLATIONS:
• Have a vertical depth between the pump and the
water being pumped of 16' (5m) or less.
• Have one pipe from the well to the pump case.
• Only run pump as required. Conserving water and
electrical energy is important to our environment.
REPLACING AN OLD PUMP
Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to
pump before working on the pump or motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe
for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all
pipe joints in the suction pipe are air-tight as well
as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the
pump cannot lift water from the water source.
3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the
plumbing connections do not put a strain on the
pump body. Support the pipe so that the pump body
does not take the weight of piping or fittings.
You have just completed the suction pipe plumbing for
your new peripheral vane pump. Please go to Page 11
for discharge pipe and tank connections.
Hazardous pressure!
Install pressure relief
valve in discharge pipe.
Release all pressure on
system before working on
any component.
