To remove debris from venturi or nozzle, proceed as follows:
1.Disassemble pump per instructions on Page 7.
2.Turn venturi counterclockwise and remove it. The noz-
zle is now exposed. Remove it using a 5/8" hex socket
wrench with extension. Turn counterclockwise. If socket
wrench is not available, insert an ice pick or similar
pointed tool carefully into the nozzle. This will dislodge debris.

C. Pull insert into cavity as shown in Figure 16.
3.Flush out the debris by running water through the nozzle in the same direction as the dislodging tool was inserted.
4.Replace nozzle and venturi. Do not overtighten!
5.Reassemble per pump instructions on Page 7.

HELPFUL HINTS
How to Handle a Gaseous Well
In some areas well water contains gases which must be at- lowed to escape before the water is used. This can be done as shown in Figure 18.

closed at the bottom and open at the top, surrounding the
suction pipe. Since the gases rise in the well casing, the
water sucked down through the pipe and into the suction pipe is free of gas. This type of well must be vented to the outside of any enclosure.
Air Control in Flowing Wells
Flowing wells, or wells with little or no drawdown, could
create a special problem in air control in the operation of your water system.
In such cases, install a Captive Air* Tank. It does not require any air control.
