Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
charged pressure should be 28 psi
[193.1 kPa].) Adjust pressure by adding
or releasing air from the tire valve
located on top of tank. Check pre-
charged pressure annually and adjust
as needed.

See Figure 10 for illustration of piping
connections to standard pressure tank
as well as distance between air release
ports and tank.

Possible Cause(s)
1. No voltage at control box or
disconnect switch
2. No voltage at pressure switch
3. No voltage at control box
4. Cable or splices bad
5. Control box incorrectly wired
1. Wrong size fuse or wrong size
time delay fuse
2. Wire size too small
3. Start capacitor defective,
blown, or wrong size
4. Low or high voltage
5. Power supply wire leads not
properly connected to control
box
6. Broken wire in control box
7. Pump or motor stuck or bind-
ing
8. Wire and/or wire splices for
power supply or motor leads
grounded, shorted, or open
1. Low or high voltage
2. Ambient temperature too
high
3. Control box uses wrong volt-
age or horsepower rating
4. Wire size too small

Corrective Action
1. Install correct fuse or time delay fuse.
2. Replace faulty pressure switch.
3. Rewire supply to control box.
4. Consult licensed electrician or serviceperson.
5. Reconnect control box correctly (see Wiring Installation Diagrams).
1. Install fuse or time delay fuse of correct size.
2. Install wire of correct size.
3. Replace start capacitor. Replace start relay if defective.
4. If voltage variation is greater than 10% of nameplate rating,
call power company or water supply to adjust voltage.
5. Reconnect leads to match wiring diagram in control box
cover. Reconnect power supply wires so wire color code
matches motor lead color code.
6. Disconnect power. Repair or replace defective wire.
7. Make all possible aboveground checks. If necessary, pull
pump. If pump is locked, replace it. Clean well of all sand
and lime before reinstalling pump.
8. Consult licensed electrician or qualified serviceperson. Do
not attempt to disassemble pump or motor.
1. If voltage variation is greater than 10% of nameplate rating,
call power company to adjust voltage.
2. Check temperature of control box. If necessary, move pump
out of direct sunlight.
3. Replace control box if voltage and horsepower ratings on con-
trol box nameplate do not match those shown inside box cover.
4. Install wire of correct size.
