PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:

• Always disconnect pump from electricity before performing any work on the motor.

• Under-sized wiring can cause motor failure and even fire. Use proper wire size specified in the

Wire Size Chart.

• Replace damaged or worn wiring cord

immediately.

• Do not kink power cable and never allow the

cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot

surfaces, or chemicals.

• The pump must be properly grounded using

the proper wire cable with ground.

CAUTION:

• Protect the power cable from coming in

contact with sharp objects.

• All wiring should be performed by a qualified

electrician in accordance with the National

Electric Code and local electric codes.

• Connect the pump to a separate electrical

circuit with a dedicated circuit breaker. Refer

to the Wire Size Chart for proper fuse size.

IMPORTANT: Air pressure in the tank

must be 2 PSI lower than the “cut-in” of

the pressure switch. Pump has a 20/40

PSI pressure switch, so tank pressure

must be set at 18 PSI. Locate the air

valve/stem on the tank and check

pressure with a tire gauge (not included).

If air needs to be removed, press down on

valve to bleed off air. Use a tire pump or

air compressor to add air if needed.
