Electrical Safety Instructions

WARNING! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND COMPLY WITH ALL
CODES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
. Before installing or servicing your pump, BE
CERTAIN THE PUMP POWER SOURCE IS TURNED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED.
2. All installation and electrical wiring must adhere
to state and local codes. Check with appropriate community
agencies, or contact your local electrical and pump professionals
for help.
3. CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT. Pump must be
connected to a separate electrical circuit directly from the
entrance box. There must be an appropriately sized fuse or
circuit breaker in this line. Tying into existing circuits may cause
circuit overloading, blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers, or a
burned-up motor.
4. Do not connect pump to a power supply until the pump is
grounded. For maximum safety, a ground fault interrupter should
be used. CAUTION: FAILURE TO GROUND THIS UNIT PROPERLY
MAY RESULT IN SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
5. WARNING: Reduced risk of electric shock during
operation of this pump requires the provision of acceptable
grounding: a) If the means of connection to the supply-
connection box is other than grounded metal conduit,
ground the pump back to the service by connecting
a copper conductor, at least the size of the circuit
conductors supplying the pump, to the grounding screw
provided within the wiring compartment. b) This pump is
provided with a means for grounding. To reduce the risk of
electric shock from contact with adjacent metal parts, bond
supply box to the pump-motor-grounding means and to all
metal parts accessible at the well head, including metal
discharge pipes, metal well casing, and the like, by means
of the following...
b1. An equipment-grounding conductor at least the size of
the well cable conductors, or the equivalent, that runs down
the well with the well cable and, b2. A clamp, a weld, or both
if necessary, secured to the equipment-grounding lead, the
equipment-grounding terminal, or the grounding conductor
on the pump housing. The equipment-grounding lead, if one
is provided, is the conductor that has an outer surface of
insulation that is green with or without one or more yellow
stripes.
6. The voltage and phase of the power supply must match the
voltage and phase of the pump.
7. Do not use an extension cord; splices must be made with an
approved splice kit and should be checked for integrity before
submerging in water; above ground joints must be made in an
approved junction box.
8. Do not work on this pump or switch while the power is on.
9. Never operate a pump with a frayed or brittle power cord, and
always protect it from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
0. Never service a motor or power cord with wet hands or while
standing in or near water or damp ground.

. Single phase motors are either two wire units (two black power
wires and a green ground), or three wire units (three power
leads red, black, and yellow and a green ground). The three wire
units require a control box. Make sure the control box matches
the motor in voltage, horsepower, and phase. Motors are not
compatible with PENTEK T-Series control boxes.
2. Single phase motors are equipped with automatic resetting
thermal protectors. The motor may restart unexpectedly causing
the leads to energize or pump to turn.
3. Check for nicks in the wire and pump insulation by using an
ohmmeter and checking resistance to ground before installing
the pump and after installing the pump. If in doubt on the
proper procedure, check with a qualified electrician.
4. Risk of dangerous or fatal electrical shock.
Do not install this pump in any pond, river, or other
open body of water that could be used for swimming or
recreation. Do not swim, wade or play in a body of water
in which a submersible pump has been installed.
5. Do not pump gasoline, chemicals, corrosives or flammable liquids;
they could ignite, explode, or damage the pump, causing injury
and voiding the warranty.
Mechanical Safety Instructions
7. Do not run this pump with the discharge completely
closed. This will create superheated water, which could
damage the seal and shorten the life of the motor. This
superheated water could also cause severe burns. Always
use a pressure relief valve, set below the rating of the
tank or system.
8. Pump is capable of building pressures in excess of
00 PSI. Always use a pressure relief valve.
9. The well, cistern, or pit must be sealed to prevent a
child, animal or foreign object from falling in.
20. While the well seal or cap is removed for repairs, cover the well
to prevent foreign matter from entering, contaminating the well,
and possibly damaging the pump.
2. Test well water for potability; chlorinating the well or purifying
is recommended every time the well is opened. Check with local
health departments for testing and sanitizing procedures.
CAUTION!
22. The following may cause severe damage to the pump and void
warranty. It could also result in personal injury:Running the
pump dry, failure to protect the pump from below freezing
temperatures, running the pump with the discharge completely
closed, or pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
23. Never work on the pump or system without relieving the internal
pressure.
24. Do not pump water above 20° Fahrenheit.
25. Never exceed the pressure rating of any system
component.
