Electrical Safety

WARNING

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death.

Ground pump before connecting to power supply.

Some models of pump are supplied with 3-connector grounding type cord. Connect only to properly grounded, GFCI protected outlet. Do not lift pump by electrical cord.

Pump is nonsubmersible. Keep motor dry at all times. Do not wash motor. Do not immerse. Protect motor from wet weather.

If using extension cord, use only UL approved indoor/ outdoor, 3-wire, grounding type cord. Do not allow any part of cord or receptacle ends to sit in water or damp locations.

Unplug pump before servicing.

CAUTION: Burn Hazard. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns when servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shut-down before handling.

Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical codes when installing.

WARNING: Hazardous Pressure. DO NOT run the pump with discharge shutoff, as hose may burst or pump may be damaged due to high temperatures.

General Safety

To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property damage, read safety instructions carefully before installing pump.
Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze.
To do so may damage system and will void warranty.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. To avoid fatal shocks, proceed as follows if pump needs servicing.

A. Disconnect power to pump outlet box before pulling pump cord plug. After plug is pulled, let pump cool for 20 minutes before attempting to work on it.
B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. To re-duced chance of fatal electrical shocks, DO NOT stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
C. Ground electrical outlet box.
D. Use only Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected grounded outlet for cord plug.

Never run pump dry. Running pump dry can damage internal parts, overheat pump (which can cause burns to people handling or servicing pump), and will void warranty.

Do not pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with pump.

WARNING: Hazardous Pressure.

A. Use high pressure reinforced type discharge hose ONLY. See parts list for available hose, nozzle and fittings. A high pressure relief valve is recommended.
B. DO NOT use garden hose with High Pressure Booster pump. Garden hose will not stand the discharge pressure produced and will fail.
C. High pressure discharge stream is dangerous. To avoid injury, DO NOT aim the discharge stream at any person or animal.
D. BE SURE that the pump suction pipe pressure plus the pump discharge pressure does not exceed the pressure rating of hose and fittings. See Table I for pump discharge pressure ratings.

INSPECT THE SHIPMENT

The high pressure booster pump has been carefully inspected and packaged to assure safe delivery.
Inspect the pump and fittings and report to the carrier any items which are damaged or missing.

TABLE I – DISCHARGE PRESSURE

*For total discharge pressure, add this pressure to suction pipe pressure. For example, an HP7C pump taking suction from a 100 psi water service line will produce 130 + 100 = 230 psi total discharge pressure at 0 GPM flow. If suction pressure drops to 50 psi, discharge pressure will drop to 180 psi.

NOTE: Model numbers that include an “S” (HPS7C, HPS10D, etc) have a stainless steel suction, discharge assembly, and capscrews.
Model numbers ending in “3” (HP7C3, HPS10C3, etc) have 3-phase motors. Models numbers ending in “T” have TEFC motors.

INSTALLATION

The pump is designed to boost city water pressure or water pressure from a private water system. Use this high pressure stream to wash down milk parlors, barns, garages and driveways, or for fire protection.
The pump is portable with a convenient carrying handle.
If an existing pressure water system is to be used as a water supply, it can be connected with available fittings and 3/4” or 1” high pressure hose to the pump inlet. A special heavy duty 3/4” or 1” suction hose with fittings is available as an accessory. If pump is permanently mounted on wall, use a 3/4” or 1” pipe or heavy-duty hose for suction line. 20 GPM models require one-inch discharge hose to reduce friction losses and 30 GPM models require 1-1/4”.

WARNING: Hazardous pressure. Pump body may explode if pressures exceed rated limits. Maximum inlet pressure is 80 PSI. Maximum discharge pressure is 315 PSI. Warranty is void if these pressure limits are exceeded.

HIGH PRESSURE BOOSTER PUMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions cover high pressure booster pump installations as shown below:

Figure 1 – Connection to house service

Figure 2 – Connection to water reservoir.

Figure 3 – Cistern or shallow well installation.

Figure 4 – Wall mounted to pressurized service line.

To reduce friction losses to a minimum, inlet (suction) line should be short and have as few elbows as possible.

Size the inlet according to the chart below:

An inlet strainer will prevent suspended debris from clogging pump.

The internal running surfaces of the pump and seals require water lubrication for good, consistent operation.
Allowing pump to run dry will severely damage pump and seals.

Install a pressure gauge in pump inlet line. Keep at least two pounds per square inch pressure (2 PSI) in inlet line whenever pump is operating. If this is not possible, consult customer service representative.

LUBRICATION

It is not necessary to lubricate pump or motor. The motor is equipped with sealed ball bearings, lubricated for the life of the bearing. The mechanical shaft seal in the pump is self-lubricating and requires no adjustment. Disassemble pump to replace seal.

OPERATION

NOTICE: Observe the following precautions when operating the pump:

1. Keep the motor dry! Do not direct stream from pump discharge onto the motor!
2. WARNING: Hazardous pressure. Do not run the pump with discharge shutoff, as hose may burst or pump may be damaged due to high temperatures.
3. Do not use a standard trigger gun with this pump.
   Use only trigger guns with an automatic weeping feature. These are available as accessories and are provided with three nozzles. The smallest nozzle restricts the flow, allowing use of a smaller water source. The two larger nozzles are used if the water source will supply the pump’s full capacity.
4. Do not run pump dry; to do so may damage the seal.
5. To avoid internal damage to pump, Do not operate with water temperature above 175 degrees F.

Disconnect power before working on pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring.

Use wire size specified in Wiring Chart (Table II, Page 7). If possible, connect pump to a separate branch circuit with no other appliances on it.

Wire motor according to diagram on motor nameplate. If nameplate diagram differs from diagrams above, follow nameplate diagram.

For All 3-phase and TEFC Motors: Follow the wiring diagram on the motor junction box or on the motor nameplate.

WIRING CONNECTIONS

1. Install, ground, wire and maintain this pump in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and with all local codes and ordinances that apply.
   Consult your local building inspector for local information.
2. Make sure that the voltage, frequency and phase (single phase or three phase) of the power supply agree with that stamped on the motor nameplate. If in doubt, check with the power company.
3. Some models are equipped with three phase motors. Three phase motors require magnetic starters and can run in either direction, depending on how they are connected to the power supply.

NOTICE: Dual voltage motors without cords are factory wired for 230 volts. If necessary, reconnect the motor for 115 volts, as shown. All cord connected motors are wired for 115 volts. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and with all local codes and ordinances that apply.
Consult your local building inspector for code information.

NOTICE: Clamp the power cable to prevent strain on the terminal screws.

NOTICE: Your Motor Terminal Board (under the motor end cover) looks like one of those shown above. Do not change motor wiring if line voltage is 230 volts. Connect power supply as shown for your supply voltage.

NOTICE: Some models are equipped with three phase motors. Three phase motors require magnetic starters and can run in either direction, depending on how they are connected to the power supply.

To Check For Proper Rotation – 3 Phase Motors

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock.

1. Be sure power is disconnected to motor when working on electrical connections.
2. Remove the motor end cover, exposing motor shaft. Momentarily start pump. If hookup is correct, the shaft will rotate clockwise.
3. If rotation is not clockwise, reverse any two leads to the starter. The rotation will now be correct.

GROUNDING THE MOTOR

Ground the pump permanently using a wire of size and type specified by local or National Electrical Code.

Models (HP7C and HP7D Series Only) with factory installed cord and plug:

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. This equipment is only for use on 115V and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding type plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle. Do not modify or remove plug. Make sure pump circuit meets National Electrical Code. To avoid dangerous electrical shock hazard, keep cord dry at all times.

Models without cord and plug:

1. Connect ground wire first. Connect the ground first, then to green grounding terminal provided under motor canopy (see Figures 6 and 7) identified as GRD. Make ground connection to this terminal. Do not connect motor to electrical power supply until unit is permanently grounded; otherwise serious or fatal electrical shock hazard may be caused.
2. For best ground connection, connect to a grounded lead in the service panel or to a metal underground water pipe or well casing at least 10 ft. long. If plastic pipe or insulated fittings are used, run ground wire directly to the metal well casing or use ground electrode furnished by the power company.
