• Ensure adequate space around the pump for maintenance and service.

4.2 Сантэхнічныя злучэнні

• This is a vertical multi-stage deep well pump, typically used with double pipe adapted 2-inch deep wells or 3-inch to 6-inch double pipe deep wells.
• Use appropriate pipe sizes and fittings to minimize friction loss and ensure efficient operation.
• All connections must be airtight to prevent air leaks, which can cause the pump to lose prime.
• Install a check valve in the suction line to maintain prime.

5. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

5.1 Запраўка помпы

Before initial startup or after the pump has lost prime, it must be primed. This involves filling the pump casing and suction line with water to remove all air.

1. Turn off all power to the pump.
2. Remove the priming plug located on the pump casing.
3. Павольна запоўніце помпу casing and suction line with clean water until water overflows from the priming hole.
4. Шчыльна закруціце корак заліўной адтуліны.
5. Open a faucet in the system to allow air to escape.
6. Restore power to the pump. The pump should start and begin to build pressure.
7. Once a steady stream of water flows from the open faucet, close the faucet. The pump should then build full system pressure and shut off.

5.2 Нармальная праца

• The pump will automatically turn on when system pressure drops below the cut-in setting of the pressure switch and turn off when the pressure reaches the cut-out setting.
• Monitor the pressure gauge to ensure the pump is operating within expected pressure ranges.
• Avoid operating the pump dry, as this can cause severe damage.

6. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Sta-Rite MSG 2 pump.

6.1 Рэгулярныя праверкі

• Штомесяц: Check for any unusual noises or vibrations. Inspect for leaks around fittings and seals.
• Штоквартальна: Verify the pressure switch settings and ensure it is functioning correctly. Clean any debris from the pump's exterior.
• Штогод: Inspect the pressure tank for proper air charge. Consult a professional for a comprehensive system check.

6.2 Pressure Switch Maintenance

As noted by long-term users, the pressure switch may require replacement over time. If the pump is not cycling correctly (e.g., running continuously, not turning on/off at correct pressures), inspect the pressure switch. Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the switch.

6.3 Уцяпленне

If the pump is installed in an area subject to freezing temperatures and will not be used during winter, it must be winterized to prevent damage.

1. Адключыце харчаванне помпы.
2. Drain all water from the pump casing and plumbing lines. Remove drain plugs if available.
3. Store the pump in a warm, dry place if possible, or ensure all water is completely removed from the system.
