Typical pump uses are liquid transfer, spraying, circulation,

To start and prime the pump, the discharge line must be open

pressure has risen to the switch OFF set point. The pressure
switch will restart the pump when a valve is opened and the
discharge line pressure drops to the ON set point of the

Models equipped with an external bypss system are designed

to pump at high pressures while at low or high flow rates.
WARNING
Models equipped with a bypass only will continue to run until
the power is manually turned off. Risk of an electrical shock!
When wiring electrically driven pumps,follow all electrical and

flushed with water (if applicable)after each use. WARNING
