Installation / Maintenance

IN STALLATIO N
Thread the pump into the top of the casing of a driven well or bolt it to the cover of a dug well. N O TE: The base of the pump comes ready for use with a 1-1/4" pipe or it can be reduced with a bushing for use with a 1" pipe. Be certain there is a drop pipe extending down into the well water from the pitcher pump. The cap is adjustable for a wide range of handle positions.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only Teflon tape or Teflon based joint compounds for making all threaded connections to the pump itself. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.
Priming the Pump
Never operate pump dry. Operating the pump without water may cause damage to the cup leather. ALWAYS fill pump with water before starting to pump. N O TICE: The pump may need to be primed more than once before you can lift water. For best operation a foot valve should be installed at the bottom of the suction line.

The pitcher pump must be primed before lifting water (Figure 1). Pour water in the top of the pitcher pump until it runs out of the spout. Wait 5 minutes until the cup leather swells enough to make contact with the pump wall. If necessary add more water.
