Grounding

WARNING

• This machine must be greunded while in use to protect the operalor from electrcal shock. This drill press s equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matehing receptacle that is properly installed ana grounded In accordance with ALL local codes anc orcinances.
• DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not it the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualfied electrician.
• CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person If you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or If you are not surs the tool is properly grounded

Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs
Tools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be connectsd to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should slectrically malfunction or oreak down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the tisk of eleciric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grouncing system in the tool. The green wire In the cord must be the only wire connected 1o the tool’s grounding system and must never be attachad to an electrically live terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate owtlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance wilh all codes and ordinances The plug and outiet should look like those in the following illustration Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two-Prong Plugs
Tools marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Asscciation, and the National Electrical Code.
(See Figure B.)
Double insulated tools may be usec in either of the 120 volt outiets shown in the following illustration

Extension Cords

WARNING

• USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension corc is in good condition. When using an extension corc, be sure to Lse one heavy enough to carry the current your product wil draw. An uncersized cord will cause a drop in Iine voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause overheating

• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by 2 qualified persan before using it. Prolect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas

• Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can uss either a 2- or – wire: extension cord

• Asthe distance from the supply outiet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord
  Using exiension cords with Inadequataly sized wire causes a serious drop in voltag, resulting in 1058 of power anc possible a0l damage.

• The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cora. Minimum extension cord wire size is shown in the following table:
  Minimum Wire Size Of Extension Cords

  Nameplate AMPS| Cord Length
  25| 50| 100| 150
  0-6| 18 AWG| 16 AVVG| 16 AVVG| 14 AVVG
  6-10| 18 AWG| 16 AWG| 14 AWG| 12 At/VG
  10-12| 16 AWG| 16 AWG| 14 AWG| 12 AWG
  12-16| 14 AVVG| 12 AVVG| NOT RECOMMENDED

• When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.

• If you are using one extension cord for more than ane taol, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

• If you ere using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix W-A (W in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

• Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition Always replace a damaged extension card or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it

• Protectyour extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Installation

CAUTION

• This pump is meant to be used where the vertical ift of water is less than 25ft. If the well s deeper than thet, you need o purchase a deep well convertble el pump.
• All connections must be air tight. A sinle leak will prevent proper operation of tne pump and may cause the pump to run dry. NEVER let the pump run cry
• This is a dual voltage 115V/230V pump. The voltage selector inside is preset to 230V. If 115V is needed, open the terminal cover and set the switch to the required voltage. Using the pump at the incorrect voltage wil damage the pump and void the warranty.
• Have alicensed or certifiect electrician install pump to & power source.

Tools Required (not included): Wrench, Pliers, Phillips Screwsriver, Thread Tape, PV Purple Primer, and PVG Gement

1. Install a1-1/2″ tee in the pumpdischarge i pumed g toall Plugthe end of tne t o allow easy priming. Plugthe end of the tee opposite the pumpto allow the branch piping to go to thespray nozzles (Figure 1).
   Removethe pipe plug o fill the pump with water for priming
   Note: Do not installsuction pipingnear swimming areas.

2. Install a foot valve on the firstsection of pipe (Figure 2).Lower the pipe into the well. Add pipe until the foot valve is 10feet below the lowest anticipatedwater level
   Note: Leaking joints or couplings will allow air to leak into the pipe and cause poorpump operation or difficulty priming. Make sure to use pipe jointcompoundor plumber’s seal tape on all threadedpipe connections.

3. After the proper depth is reached, install a well seal or pitless adapterto support the pipe. Slope the horizontal pipe upward toward the pump to eliminatetrapping air.
   When using a foot valve, a primingtee and plug above the well seal isrecommended.
   Note: A packer-type foot valve can be installed in the well (Figure 3). This type of foot valve allows the well pipe to be filled with water when priming and makes the inlet pipe much easier to test for ieaks. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the packer-type foot valve.

4. Asan altemative, an in-line check valve canbe used with a driven well (Figure 4).
   It may be necessary to supply the pumpwith multiple well points to maintainthe high flow capability of this pump.Consult with a plumbing professionalfor appropriate materialsand installation instructions. Leaking joints or couplings will allow airto leak into the pipe and cause poorpump operation or difficulty priming.
   Make sure to use pipe joint compoundor plumber’s seal tape on all threadedpipe connections.
