Step 3:
Connect the incoming power supply wires to the
motor terminal.
Step 4:
Replace and secure motor cover.
NOTE: Single phase motors rotate counterclockwise
only (when facing suction port) and cannot
be reversed.
MOTOR
NOTICE: A motor operating under normal
conditions maintains its rated performance,
assuming a clean, dry motor with proper ventilation.
A dirty motor, or one “protected” by a burlap or
plastic bag, will overheat.
PRIMING AND START UP
G
NEVER run pump dry. Fill pump with
water before starting pump. Operating pump dry may
cause damage to pump and will void warranty.
NEVER run pump against a closed
discharge. This may cause hazardous pressure and
risk of explosion.
Step 1 (Figure 7):
Remove priming port plug from pump.
Step 2:
Open discharge valves and any hoses on
discharge side of pump.
Step 3:
Fill pump with water through the priming port on
top of pump. Allow trapped air to escape for a few
minutes, then add more water until full.

Step 4:
Replace priming port plug and tighten with wrench,
using tefl on tape on pipe threads.
Step 5:
Start the pump. A properly primed pump should
discharge water without air at a consistent
pressure. If the pump does not produce water after
fi ve minutes, stop the pump, release all pressure,
remove priming port plug, add more water, replace
plug, and try again. (Make sure that a foot valve
is properly installed on the suction pipe. See
"Suction port connection". Figure 4)
MAINTENANCE
Failure to disconnect
electrical power before attempting
maintenance can cause shock, burns,
or death.
Before disconnecting
pump, be sure fuse box leads are
disconnected or power is turned off.
After reassembling the pump, refer to
priming instructions before running.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE!
-Do not run pump against
closed discharge.
-Release all pressure on system
before working on any component.
A. Draining (Figure 8)
The pump should be drained if it is in danger of
freezing, if it will be out of service for an extended
period of time, or if it requires service.
To drain pump, disconnect power source,
remove priming port plug from pump case, remove
drain plug (below suction port), and drain system.
Replace drain plug.
