Suction Lift Applications

NOTE: The total suction lift should not exceed 25 feet.

1. Install a new, clean pipe or hose.

• Make sure piping rises vertically or is sloped continually upward from the water source to the

pump inlet connection.

• Check that there are no high spots that cannot be evacuated of air during the priming process.

2. Install a strainer at the end of the suction line.

• Ensure the strainer remains well submerged at all times.

Discharge Line

1. Tighten the discharge pipe, using an opposing pipe wrench on the pump discharge.

2. Install a check valve.

• All discharge piping must have a pressure rating capable of withstanding the incoming inlet

pressure plus the pump’s maximum shut-off head pressure.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the pump under a no-flow/shut-off head condition.

Electrical Connections

Changing the Voltage

1 and 1.5 HP pumps come with dual voltage motors (115 V/230 V) and are factory set for 230 V. Ensure

the voltage indicator matches the voltage at the power source. Do not connect to voltage other than

that shown.

IMPORTANT: Ensure motor is grounded and motor terminal cover is in place.

1. Disconnect power to the pump.

2. Remove the cover from the motor terminal box.

1 HP Models

1. Insert a flat screwdriver into the black voltage change indicator.

2. Rotate the voltage change indicator so the desired voltage is

displayed.

• Twist the indicator counterclockwise to move from 230V to

115V.

• Twist clockwise to move from 115V to 230V.

3. Reassemble the terminal box cover.

Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, or damage to system.

• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump.
