3. Install a proper fused disconnect switch in the line.
• Make sure the correct gauge of cable is used to carry the load.
4. Wire the motor according to the motor nameplate to achieve clockwise rotation.
• If needed, remove motor end compartment for viewing.
• Very long leads will require a larger cable.
• Make sure the insulated green or bare ground wire is securely connected to the green ground
terminal screw on the motor terminal board.
OPERATION
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high temperatures,
or pressurized fluids.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system.
• Do not continuously run pump against closed discharge. Release all system pressure before working
on any component.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). It is designed to be cooled by pumping fluid. The seal
may be damaged and the motor may fail if the pump is allowed to run dry.
1. Prime the pump.
• Remove priming plug.
• Pour water into the priming port.
• Fill the pump and suction line with water.
• Rotate motor shaft to let air in casing escape.
• Refill at the priming port and replace priming plug.
2. Start the pump.
3. Gradually open the discharge valve to the halfway point.
• If the pump does not deliver water within seconds, stop the motor and prime pump again.
NOTE: Several starting attempts may be necessary to expel all air from the pump and suction
lines.
4. Once the pump is fully functioning, completely open the discharge valve and a system outlet.
