Electrical Connections
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, or damage to system.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump.
• A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by qualified personnel.
• Use copper conductors only.
Changing the Voltage
This pump comes with a dual voltage motor (115/230 V) and
is factory set for 230 V. Ensure the voltage indicator matches
the voltage at the power source. Do not connect to voltage
other than that shown.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the motor is grounded and the
motor terminal cover is in place.
1. Disconnect the power supply to the pump.
2. Remove the cover from the motor terminal box.
3. Press the black voltage change device onto both terminals
with the white arrow directly aligned with the correct voltage
on the terminal board.
IMPORTANT: Do not move the white lead wires on L1
and L2.
4. Reassemble the terminal box cover.
Wiring the Pump
1. Employ an electrician to do the wiring.
2. Use a separate circuit from the distribution panel with
properly sized protection to power the pump.
3. Install a properly fused disconnect switch in the line.
• Use the correct gauge of cable to carry the load.
IMPORTANT: Undersized wire between the motor
and the power source will adversely limit the start-
ing and load-carrying abilities of the motor.
4. Wire the connections.
• Connect the power lines to the pressure switch terminals marked L1 and L2.
• Very long leads will require a larger cable.
• For added safety, ensure the pump and motor is grounded to the ground in the distribution
panel or to the well casing, if metal.
5. For driven wells, water levels may be too low to pump at times. Employ an electrician to replace the
pressure switch with a low pressure cut-off switch to prevent pump damage.
