1 1/4" PVC PIPE

Cement as many sec- tions and

couplings of rigid 1" and

1-1/4" PVC pipe needed to connect the 1" female PVC adapter and the 1-1/4" male PVC adapter to the 1" and

1-1/4" PVC elbows. The diaphragm pressure tank is factory preset to 30 PSI. Reset the pressure to 18 PSI using a tire gauge. This is vital to the proper operation of the system. Remove pressure gauge plug.

STEP Place a large bucket

11 beneath the pressure regulator outlet. 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 reg- ulator adjustment screw until

maximum water flow is obtain-

ed without pressure dropping to zero. If pressure falls completely, retighten adjustment screw and re-adjust.

Steady pressure must not be less than 24 lbs. for the

R520 and 32 lbs. for the R100. If no pressure shows: Stop motor, remove pressure gauge plug from pressure regulator, add more water, and try again. Complete installation should look like the drawing to the right.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: If you change pressure switch settings, set the cut-off pressure low enough to shut off the pump. The recommended pressure is 2 PSI below your pump cut-off pressure. Example: if a 20-40 PSI pressure switch is being used, tank pressure should be 18 PSI. If a valve shuts off and the cut-off setting is too high, the pump will run continuously without water flow causing overheating and serious damage.
