WARNING:
• Always disconnect pump from electricity before
performing any work on the motor.
• Under-sized wiring can cause motor failure and even
re. Use proper wire size specied in the Wire Size
Chart.
• Replace damaged or worn wiring cord immediately.
• Do not kink power cable and never allow the cable
to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or
chemicals.
• The pump must be properly grounded using the proper
wire cable with ground.
CAUTION:
• Protect the power cable from coming in contact with
sharp objects.
• All wiring should be performed by a qualied electrician in accordance with the National
Electric Code and local electric codes.
• Connect the pump to a separate electrical circuit with a dedicated circuit breaker. Refer to the
Wire Size Chart for proper fuse size.
6. IMPORTANT: Air pressure in the tank
must be 2 PSI lower than the “cut-in” of
the pressure switch. Pump has a 20/40
PSI pressure switch, so tank pressure
must be set at 18 PSI. Locate the air
valve/stem on the tank and check
pressure with a tire gauge (not included).
If air needs to be removed, press down on
valve to bleed off air. Use a tire pump or
air compressor to add air if needed.
