SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY SYMBOLS

This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on

your pump or in this manual, look for one of the following signal

words and be alert to the potential for personal injury:

warns about hazards that will cause serious

personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

warns about hazards that can cause serious

personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

warns about hazards that will or can cause minor

personal injury or property damage if ignored.

The word NOTE indicates special instructions that are important

but not related to hazards.

GENERAL SAFETY

 Warranty void if product modified, drilled, painted,

or altered in any way; if used to pump hot water, or to

pump liquids other than water (such as but not limited to

chemicals, fertilizers, flammable liquids, herbicides, mud,

tar, cement, wood chips); or otherwise abused.

 Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this

manual and on pump.

 Keep safety labels in good condition. Replace missing or

damaged safety labels.

 Before installing or servicing your pump, BE

CERTAIN pump power source is disconnected.

 All installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state

and local codes and must be complete before priming the

pump. Check with appropriate community agencies, or

contact your local electrical and pump professionals.

 Pump should be installed in a dry, convenient location close

to the well with ample space for installation and servicing

the well. A dry basement, pit, or utility room is an excellent

choice when allowed by law. The pump must be securely

fastened to a solid foundation. The pump should always

be mounted in a horizontal position on a level foundation.

Failure to properly secure the pump may result in failure of

the pump or piping and damage to the surrounding area.

 CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT. Pump motor

should be connected to a separate electrical circuit directly

from main switch. There must be a fuse box or circuit

breaker installed in this line. Plugging into existing outlets

may cause low voltage at motor, resulting in blown fuses,

tripping of motor overload, or burned-out motor. Refer to

electrical diagrams for electrical connections.

 It is mandatory that a permanent ground connection be

made from the pump motor to the grounding bar at the

service panel. Do not connect pump motor to a power

supply until permanently grounded. For maximum safety,

ground the pump motor to a circuit equipped with a fault

interrupter device.

 Pump must be primed! Make sure pump is full

of water before running! Failure to do so will cause damage

to mechanical seal, leakage and flooding!

 NEVER run pump against closed discharge

valve! To do so can cause high temperatures, pump

damage, personal injury and property damage!

 Pump may be HOT to touch. Use caution!

 The following may cause severe damage to pump and/or

piping and will void warranty:

w Failure to protect pump and piping against below

freezing temperature.

w Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.

w Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids. DO NOT

pump gasoline or other flammable liquids.

w Using extension cords. DO NOT use extension cords.

w Using this pump in or near a swimming pool, lake, or

pond. DO NOT use this pump in or near a swimming

pool, lake or pond.

w Running the pump dry. Follow priming instructions.

w Discharge pressure not to exceed 100 psi.

w Torque for pump bolts is 15-20 ft.-lbs.

w Use of garden hose as discharge or suction line.

w Failure to securely fastened to a solid foundation.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

This product and related accessories contain

chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

4 FP1002 (08-01-2023)

INSTALLATION & OPERATION

MOTOR GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to ground this unit properly may result in

severe electrical shock. Do not ground to a gas supply line!

1. If the means of connection to the supply-connection box is

other than grounded metal conduit, ground the pump motor

back to the service by connecting a copper conductor, at

least the size of the circuit conductors supplying the pump

motor, to the grounding screw provided on rib underneath

wiring compartment cover. N.E.C. requires pump motor be

grounded at installation.

2. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the

pump. The 1/2 HP pump motors are factory preset to

115V. The 1 HP pump motors are preset to 230V. Both types

of motors may be wired for either 115V or 230V. If the

motor is converted to 115V, electrician should ensure that

electrical and power leads can handle the higher amps.

3. Convert Dial Type by turning dial to select 115 volts. Insert

tool in slot to turn dial. If motor is converted to 115V, an

electrician should insure electrical and power leads can

handle the higher amps.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Cover well to prevent foreign matter from contaminating the

well or later damaging the pump during operation. Test well

water for purity. Chlorination may be necessary. Check local

health department for proper testing and recommendations.

FLUSHING

Hand pump new wells until clear. Pumping sand or other

sediment will seriously damage the pump and void warranty.

Periodic flushing will remove internal pump sediment buildup. To

flush:

1. Remove 1-1/2" plug from top of discharge tee, or remove

piping if no discharge tee has been installed.

2. Remove 1/4" plug from the lower front of pump.

3. Pour water into top of pump until water flowing from lower

front of pump is clear.

4. Scrape out any stubborn debris from the lower front

opening with a wire or pipe cleaner.

5. Reinstall pipes and plugs and re-prime before returning

pump to service.

6. Running the pump without discharge water

flow will cause serious damage inside the pump due to heat

buildup.

DETERMINE OPERATING DEPTH

Tie a small but heavy weight to the end of a piece of string.

Lower the weight into the well until it reaches the bottom. Take

up the slack and mark the string at ground level.

Pull the weight out of the well and measure from the bottom of

the weight to the ground level mark. This is the depth of your

well. Subtract five feet from the depth of your well. This number

should not exceed 25 feet. If it does, it will greatly hinder or

prevent the proper operation of a lawn sprinkler pump.

Determine Type of Well

1. Tie a small but heavy weight to the end of a length of string.

2. Lower into the well until the string goes slack.

3. Take up slack until string is taut and mark the string at

ground level.

4. Pull string out of well and measure length from mark to

heavy weight. This is the water depth. A shallow well pump

operates at 25 feet or less water depth. A deep well pump

operates at 70 feet or less water depth.

PIPING

All piping must be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent

clogging. Plastic PVC pipe is shown in the illustrations, but

galvanized steel pipe may be used if desired.

All joints and connections in the well assembly must be airtight.

Even a pinhole leak will prevent the proper operation of the

pump (this is the most common problem). Use thread compound

on all threaded joints unless specified otherwise.

PUMP SETUP

Pump may be supplied attached to a shipping pallet. Inspect

pump for visible signs of damage. Remove and discard pallet

from pump before installation.

SELECT CORRECT VOLTAGE

Ensure pump circuit breaker is OFF and pump is

disconnected from power source before changing the pump

voltage.

5. The selector switch to change the voltage is located

underneath the access cover on the end of the motor. To

access the switch, remove the two screws holding the

cover.

6. To change the voltage setting, turn the dial with a nut driver

or a wrench so the correct voltage shows in the cutout in

the dial. The voltage number that appears is the voltage

setting for the pump.

7. Replace the cover and secure it with the screws.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION

17. Cement as many sections and couplings of rigid 3/4"

PVC pipe needed to connect the 3/4" PVC adapter in the

pressure regulator to the 3/4" male adapter on the tank tee

inlet. Set pressure in the pre-charged pressure tank to 2

pounds less than the cut-in pressure of the pump. If the cut

in pressure is 30 PSI, then the correct tank pre-charge is

28 PSI. If the cut in pressure is 20 PSI, then the correct tank

pre-charge is 18 PSI. Total installation should look like the

drawing at right.

18. Open a faucet or two in the house. Start motor. Turn

regulator adjustment screw down tight. If pump is properly

primed, a high pressure will

immediately show on the

pressure gauge. With pump

operating at high pressure,

slowly unscrew regulator

stem until maximum water

flow is obtained without

dropping to 0 PSI. If pressure

falls completely, retighten

stem and readjust. Steady

pressure must not be less

than 24 PSI for the FP4542 and 32 PSI for the FP4562.

If pressure fails to build within five minutes: stop motor,

remove pressure regulator from pump, add more water,

and try again.

7177 0117

If you install your pump with a 2" single-pipe (“Packer”) jet,

please follow the installation instructions included with the

Packer jet kit (See REPAIR PARTS KIT).

Risk of explosion. If you change pressure

switch settings, set the cut-off pressure low enough to

shut off the pump. If a valve shuts off and the cut-off

setting is too high, the pump will run continuously without

water ow, causing overheating and possible explosion

which can cause serious burns and damage.

** Requires ejector (sold separately).

6120 1109 ACE

PRIMING THE PUMP

1. Open tank drain valve or a few faucets to relieve any water

pressure in system.

2. Remove pressure gauge plug from discharge tee OR remove

pressure regulator.

3. Put a garden hose into pump opening and fill pipes and

pump until water overflows from opening. This may take

several minutes.

4. After wrapping threads with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape

tape, replace pressure gauge plug OR pressure regulator in

pump housing.

12 FP1002 (08-01-2023)

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)

Pump will not prime.

 Not enough water. Stop motor, remove pressure gauge bushing, and fill case and suction line

with water.

 Pump wired incorrectly.

 Plugged venturi tube or nozzle.

 Foot valve is sitting in sand or mud, or is stuck shut, or leaks.

 Low well water level. In deep wells, the ejector as well as the foot valve must be below water

level.

 For the FP4542 and FP4562, the diffuser O-ring seal may be improperly positioned.

 Air leaks. Check all connections for airtightness.

Pump delivers water for a

period of time, then stops

graves, la mort ou des dommages matériels importants, s’il est ignoré.

signale un danger qui peut provoquer des blessures

corporelles graves, la mort ou des dommages matériels importants,

s’il est ignoré.

ATTENTION

signale un danger qui provoquera ou peut provoquer

des blessures corporelles légères ou des dommages matériels, s’il

est ignoré.

Le mot REMARQUE indique des consignes spéciales importantes,

mais non liées aux dangers.

SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALE

 La garantie est invalidée si le produit est modifié, percé, peint

ou altéré de quelque manière; s’il est utilisé pour pomper de

l’eau chaude ou d’autres liquides que de l’eau (y compris, mais

sans s’y limiter des produits chimiques, des engrais, des liquides

inflammables, des herbicides, de la boue, du goudron, du

ciment, des copeaux de bois); ou a subi tout autre préjudice.

 Lisez attentivement et suivez toutes les instructions de sécurité

de ce manuel et sur la pompe.

 Conservez les étiquettes de sécurité en bon état. Remplacez-les

si elles sont manquantes ou endommagées.

 Avant l’installation ou l’entretien de votre pompe,

ASSUREZ-VOUS que la source d’alimentation de la pompe est

débranchée.

 Tous les câblages électriques et d’installation doivent être

conformes aux codes fédéraux et locaux et doivent être installés

avant l’amorçage de la pompe. Vérifiez auprès des organismes

compétents ou communiquez avec les professionnels dans le

domaine de l’électricité et des pompes de votre région.

 La pompe doit être installée dans un endroit sec et pratique

à proximité du puits, avec un espace suffisamment grand

pour permettre l’installation ainsi que l’entretien du puits. Un

sous-sol sec, une fosse ou un local d’entretien est un excellent

choix, si la loi l’autorise. La pompe doit être fixée de manière

sécuritaire à une fondation solide. La pompe doit toujours être

montée en position horizontale sur une fondation plane. Une

mauvaise fixation de la pompe peut causer une défaillance de

cette dernière ou des tuyaux en plus d’endommager la zone

environnante.

 EN CAS DE DOUTE, COMMUNIQUEZ AVEC UN ÉLECTRICIEN.

Le moteur de la pompe doit être connecté à un circuit électrique

distinct, directement depuis l’interrupteur principal. Une boîte

à fusibles ou un disjoncteur doit être installé sur cette ligne.

Le branchement dans les prises existantes peut causer une

faible tension du moteur, qui peut brûler les fusibles, déclencher

la surcharge du moteur ou griller ce dernier. Reportez-vous

aux schémas électriques pour connaître les raccordements

électriques.

 Une connexion permanente à la terre réalisée à partir de la

pompe jusqu’à la barre de mise à la terre du panneau de service

est obligatoire. Ne raccordez pas le moteur de la pompe à

une source d’alimentation avant qu’il ne soit mis à la terre de

manière permanente. Pour plus de sécurité, mettez le moteur

de la pompe à la terre en le connectant à un circuit équipé d’un

dispositif d’interrupteur de défaillance.



ATTENTION

La pompe doit être amorcée! Assurez-vous de

remplir la pompe avant de l’activer! Si ce n’est pas le cas, des

dommages au joint mécanique, une fuite et une inondation

peuvent se produire!

 Ne faites JAMAIS fonctionner la pompe

lorsque le robinet de refoulement est fermé. Cela peut causer

une surchauffe, des dommages à la pompe, des blessures

corporelles et des dommages matériels.

 La pompe peut être CHAUDE au toucher. Prenez garde!

 Les actions suivantes peuvent causer des dommages

importants à la pompe et/ou à la tuyauterie, et annuler

la garantie:

w Ne pas protéger la pompe et la tuyauterie contre les

températures sous le point de congélation.

w Pomper des produits chimiques ou des liquides corrosifs.

w Pomper de l’essence ou d’autres liquides inflammables. Ne

pompez PAS d’essence ou d’autres liquides inflammables.

w Utiliser des rallonges. N’utilisez PAS de rallonges.

w Utiliser cette pompe dans ou près d’une piscine, d’un lac ou

d’un étang. N’utilisez PAS cette pompe dans ou près d’une

piscine, d’un lac ou d’un étang.

w Faire fonctionner la pompe à sec. Respectez les instructions

d’amorçage.

w La pression d’évacuation ne doit pas dépasser 100psi.

w Le couple de serrage des boulons de la pompe est de

15à20pi-lb.

w Utiliser un tuyau d’arrosage en tant que conduite

d’évacuation ou d’aspiration.

w Omettre de fixer de façon sécuritaire à une fondation solide.

INSTALLATION ET FONCTIONNEMENT

INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVES À LA MISE À LA TERRE DU MOTEUR

Une mauvaise mise à la terre de cet appareil peut causer

une décharge électrique grave. Ne faites pas la mise à la terre sur une

conduite d’alimentation en gaz.

Si la boîte de jonction de l’alimentation n’est pas reliée à un conduit

métallique mis à la terre, mettez le moteur de la pompe à la terre

en connectant un conducteur en cuivre, dont la taille est au moins

équivalente à celle des conducteurs du circuit alimentant le moteur

de la pompe, à la vis de mise à la terre fournie sur la nervure se

trouvant sous le couvercle du compartiment de câblage. Le Code

national de l’électricité (NEC) exige que le moteur de la pompe soit

mis à la terre au moment de l’installation.

2. La tension de l’alimentation doit correspondre à la tension de la

pompe. Les moteurs de pompe 1/2HP sont préréglés en usine à 115V.

Les moteurs de pompe 1HP sont préréglés en usine à 230V. Les

deux moteurs peuvent être câblés pour 115V ou 230V. Si le moteur

est converti à 115V, un électricien doit s’assurer que les faisceaux

électriques et de puissance peuvent supporter une intensité plus

élevée.

3. Modifiez l’intensité en tournant le cadran pour sélectionner 115V.

Insérez un outil dans la fente pour tourner le cadran. Si le moteur est

converti à 115V, un électricien doit s’assurer que les fils électriques et

d’alimentation peuvent prendre en charge une intensité plus élevée.

AVANT L’INSTALLATION

Couvrez le puits pour éviter que des matières étrangères ne contaminent

le puits ou endommagent la pompe pendant son fonctionnement.

Analysez la pureté de l’eau du puits. Une chloration pourrait être

nécessaire. Consultez les autorités sanitaires de votre région

pour connaître les méthodes d’analyse appropriées et obtenir des

recommandations.

RINÇAGE

Pompez à la main un nouveau puits jusqu’à ce que l’eau soit transparente.

Le pompage de sable ou d’autre sédiment peut endommager

sérieusement la pompe et annuler la garantie. Un rinçage périodique

permettra de retirer l’accumulation de sédiments à l’intérieur de la

pompe. Pour rincer:

1. Retirez le bouchon de1 1/2 po du haut du raccord d’évacuation en

T ou retirez la tuyauterie si aucun raccord d’évacuation en T n’est

installé.

2. Retirez le bouchon de 1/4 po de la partie inférieure avant de la

pompe.

3. Versez de l’eau dans le haut de la pompe jusqu’à ce que l’eau

s’écoulant de la partie inférieure avant soit transparente.

4. Retirez tout débris tenace de l’ouverture inférieure avant à l’aide

d’une brosse ou d’un cure-pipe.

5. Réinstallez les tuyaux et les bouchons et procédez à un réamorçage

avant de remettre la pompe en service.

ATTENTION

L’utilisation de la pompe sans qu’il y ait écoulement

d’eau d’évacuation peut causer des dommages importants à

l’intérieur de la pompe en raison de l’accumulation de chaleur.

DÉTERMINER LA PROFONDEUR DE FONCTIONNEMENT

Accrochez un poids petit et lourd à l’extrémité d’une ficelle. Faites

descendre le poids dans le puits jusqu’à ce qu’il atteigne le fond.

Remontez la partie lâche de la ficelle et faites une marque sur la ficelle au

niveau du sol.

Retirez le poids du puits et mesurez la longueur du fond jusqu’à la marque

de niveau du sol. Cela représente la profondeur du puits. Soustrayez cinq

pieds à la profondeur du puits. Ce chiffre ne doit pas dépasser 25pieds.

Une profondeur qui dépasse cette mesure nuira au fonctionnement de la

pompe d’un tourniquet d’arrosage.

Déterminer le type de puits

1. Accrochez un poids petit et lourd à l’extrémité d’une ficelle.

2. Faites descendre le poids dans le puits jusqu’à ce que la ficelle ne

soit plus tendue.

3. Remontez la partie lâche de la ficelle et faites une marque sur la

ficelle au niveau du sol.

4. Tirez la ficelle hors du puits et mesurez la longueur de la marque

jusqu’au poids. Cela représente la profondeur d’eau. Une pompe

de puits peu profond fonctionne jusqu’à une profondeur d’eau

de 25pieds. Une pompe de puits profond fonctionne jusqu’à une

profondeur d’eau de 70pieds.

TUYAUTERIE

L’ensemble de la tuyauterie doit être propre et exempte de tout corps

étranger pour éviter les obstructions. Un tuyau en plastique (PVC) est

montré sur les illustrations, mais un tuyau en acier galvanisé peut être

utilisé si souhaité.

Tous les joints et raccords de l’ensemble du puits doivent être étanches

à l’air. Même une petite fuite empêchera le bon fonctionnement de la

pompe (il s’agit du problème le plus courant). Utilisez une graisse pour

filetage sur tous les raccords filetés, à moins d’indication contraire.

INSTALLATION DE LA POMPE

La pompe pourrait être fixée sur une palette d’expédition. Assurez-vous

que la pompe ne présente aucun dommage visible. Retirez la pompe de la

palette d’expédition et jetez celle-ci avant de procéder à l’installation.

SÉLECTION DE LA BONNE TENSION

Assurez-vous que le disjoncteur est HORS TENSION et

que la pompe est débranchée avant de modifier le réglage de la tension

de la pompe.

5. Le sélecteur de tension pour modifier le réglage de la tension se

trouve sous le couvercle à l’extrémité du moteur. Pour accéder

au sélecteur, retirez les deux vis qui maintiennent le couvercle en

place.

6. Pour modifier le réglage de la tension, tournez le cadran à l’aide

d’un tournevis à douille ou d’une clé jusqu’à ce que la bonne tension

s’affiche dans la découpe du cadran. Le chiffre indiquant la tension

correspond au réglage de la tension de la pompe.

7. Remettez le couvercle et fixez-le avec les vis.
