Description
Shallow well jet pumps are single stage
domestic water pumps designed for
pumping portable water in applications
where the water is located less than
25 feet vertically from the pump. A
pressure switch is a standard feature.
The shallow well pump can be mounted
to either a pre-charged, conventional
type or free standing pressure tank.
Unpacking
After unpacking the jet pump, carefully
inspect for any damage that may have
occurred during transit. Check for loose,
missing or damaged parts.

General Safety
Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This product or its
power cord may contain
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Read the instruction manual included
with the product carefully. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the equipment.
2. Know the pump application,
limitations and potential hazards.
ALWAYS install a
pressure relief valve
to match the system pressure rating and
the maximum fl ow rate.
Do NOT use to pump
fl ammable or
explosive fl uids such as gasoline,
fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do NOT use in
explosive atmospheres. Pump only clear
water. Failure to follow this warning
WILL result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
Disconnect power
and release all
pressure from the system before
attempting to install, service, relocate
or perform any maintenance. Lock the
power disconnect in the open (OFF)
position. Tag the power disconnect
to prevent unexpected application of
power.
3. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
4. Periodically inspect pump and system
components. Perform routine
maintenance as required (See
Maintenance).
5. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times
when working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered
and properly lighted - replace all
unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance
from work area.
d. Make the workshop childproof
use padlocks, master switches and
remove starter keys.
6. Do NOT pump chemicals or corrosive
liquids. Pumping these liquids
shortens the life of the pumps seals
and moving parts and WILL void the
warranty. Pump only clear water.
7. When installing pump, cover the
well to prevent foreign matter from
falling into well and contaminating
the water and damaging internal
mechanical pumping components.
8. Always test the water from the well
for purity before use. Check with local
health department for test procedure.
9. Complete pump and piping system
MUST be protected against below
freezing temperature. Freezing
temperatures could cause severe
damage and void the warranty.
10. Do not run the pump dry or damage
will occur and will void warranty.
Risk of electrical
shock! This pump is
designed for indoor installation only.
Risk of Electrical
Shock! All wiring
SHOULD be performed by a licensed or
certifi ed electrician.
11. Before installing the pump, have the
electrical circuit checked by a licensed
or certified electrician to make sure
the circuit is properly grounded.
12. Make sure the line voltage and
frequency of electrical current supply
agrees with the motor wiring.
13. Do NOT attempt repairs to the
electric motor. All repairs to the
motor must be completed by a
licensed electrician.
Do NOT touch an
operating motor.
Modern motors are designed to operate
at high temperatures.
14. Avoid kinking electrical cord and
protect from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil and chemicals. Replace
damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Keep fingers and foreign objects
away from ventilation and other
openings. Do NOT insert any objects
into the motor.
Risk of electric shock!
NEVER connect the
green (or green and yellow wire) to a
live terminal!
16. To reduce the risk of electrical shock.
The motor must be securely and
adequately grounded for protection
against shock.
17. Use wire of adequate size to
minimize voltage drop at the motor.
Do NOT handle
pump or pump motor
with wet hands, when standing on a
wet or damp surface or when standing
in water. Fatal electrical shock COULD
occur.
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
