GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this manual before

attempting to assemble, operate or install this

product. For questions, please call customer service

at 1-800-742-5044 (7:30am - 5:00pm ESDT

Mon. - Fri.)

This is a

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.

When you see this symbol on the pump or

in the manual, look for one of the

following signal words and be alert to the

potential for personal injury or property damage.

DANGER

Warns of hazards that

WILL cause

serious personal injury, death or major property

damage if ignored.

Warns of hazards that

CAN cause

serious personal injury or death, if ignored.

Warns of hazards that

MAY cause

minor personal injury, product or property damage

if ignored.
IMPORTANT: Indicates factors concerned with

operation, installation, assembly or maintenance

which could result in damage to the machine or

equipment if ignored.
NOTE: Indicates special instructions which are

important but are not related to hazards.

Customer Alert on Potential Water Damage: As

with any product subject to a continuous supply of

incoming water, a water alarm to monitor the pump

area is strongly recommended to alert the customer

to the potential for water damage which may result

from water line failure, product damage or incorrect

installation.

PUMP SAFETY INFORMATION

Hazardous

voltage. Can

shock, burn

or cause

death. Ground
pump before
connecting to
power supply.

SHOCK HAZARD

1. Meet United States National

Electrical Code and local codes for

all wiring.

2. Do not handle a pump or pump

motor with wet hands or when

standing on a wet or damp surface

or in water.

3. Follow wiring instructions in this

manual when connecting to power

lines.

4. Always disconnect power source before

performing any work on or near the motor or its

connected load.

5. Risk of electric shock - This pump has not been

investigated for use in swimming pool areas or

marine areas.

6. Protect electrical cord. Replace or repair

damaged or worn cords immediately.

7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect

only to a properly grounded, grounding-type

receptacle.

Do not use to pump

flammable or explosive fluids

such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do

not use in flammable and/or explosive environments.

Hazardous pressure! Install

pressure relief valve in

discharge pipe. Release all pressure on

system before working on any component.

GENERAL SAFETY

1. This pump has been evaluated to work with

water only.

2. Wear safety glasses when working with pumps.
3. Periodically inspect pump and system

components.

4. Do not insert finger or any object into pump or

motor openings.

5. Secure the discharge line before starting the

pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip,

possibly causing personal injury and/or property

damage or puncture.

6. Do not touch an operating motor or engine. They

are designed to operate at high temperatures.

1/2 HP PERFORMANCE
See charts below for expected system pressure at

various incoming line pressure / flow rates.

Inlet

PSI

HCP05 System Pressure (PSI)

at Flow Rates (GPM)

30*

Do not exceed 30 input PSI for

P/N HCP05

*Note: Increase tank PSI (see FIG 3) if inlet PSI

will exceed preset tank setting 26 psi.

GENERAL PUMP INSTALLATION / SETUP (FIG 1)
City booster pump installation is shown per

FIG 1. During pump use, insure ball valves #1 and

#2 are open, and ball valve #3 is closed.

#1 An Adjustable Pressure

Regulator (APR#1) is required on the suction side of

the pump (see fig 1) if the incoming water pressure

can exceed the maximum input pressure.

#2 An Adjustable Pressure

Regulator (APR#2) is required on the Discharge

(See fig 1) to insure maximum water pressure does

not exceed local plumbing codes.

#3 A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)

connected to a drain is required (see fig 1) to safe

guard plumbing from exceeding max pressures if the

Pressure Regulators fail. Typically the PRV would

be set 5 psi higher than the APR#2.
NOTE: Optional external water tank can be used to

decrease the on/off cycle rate of the pump system,

which can extend the life of the pump. (Typical tank

3 gallon draw down.) Set tank PSI equal to pump

tank PSI.

The entire system must be air and

water tight to maintain prime. Use thread tape on

all connections to insure no leaks. Hand tighten

all threads and then add additional half turn with

wrench.
