and stops immediately when water is drawn from the pump tank,
this means that the water has absorbed the air volume in the top
of the tank.
To avoid such an undesirable condition, which is destructive to the
motor, switch, and other equipment, a compressible air volume
must be maintained in the upper portion of the tank. Follow these
instructions for recharging the air volume.
To Recharge The Air Volume In The Pump Tank:
1. Turn “OFF” electric power to pump.
2. Connect a hose to the drain valve at the pump tank and
terminate to an adequate drain.
3. Open a faucet near the pump tank and let the tank drain
completely. This will also allow air (atmospheric pressure) to
enter into the tank.
4. Close the drain valve at the pump tank.
5. Turn “ON” electric power to pump.
