6. Be sure the water source and piping
is clear of sand, dirt and scale. Debris
WILL clog pump and WILL void

Pump motor is
equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of motor
overheating because of operating pump
at low heads (low discharge restriction),
excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor
connections, excessive surrounding air
temperature, inadequate ventilation,
and/or defective motor or pump.
Installation
Protect pump from the elements by
installing in a basement, garage, tool
shed or pump house. Install the pump
so the center line of the pump is as close
as possible to the water level. Keep
installation area clear to provide access
for service and maintenance. Protect the
pump against flooding and excess
moisture.
Make sure the pump has adequate
ventilation. The surrounding
temperature should not exceed 100°F
(38°C) or nuisance tripping of the motor
may occur.
PUMP PIPING INSTALLATION
Use new pipe for best results.
Galvanized or plastic pipe can be used.
When using galvanized pipe, provide
independent supports for both suction
and discharge piping near the pump to
avoid strain on the pump. Minimize use
of elbows and fittings to reduce friction
loss. Refer to the friction loss chart (on
page 4) for specific information.
Increase diameter of suction or discharge
piping if length is over 50 feet.
