Priming the Deep Well Pump
To prime pump, completely close the priming valve located
just below the suction opening by turning screw clockwise.
This valve will be left closed during operation in a deep well

Motor Switch Settings

Your motor terminal board (located under the motor end cover) should look like one of those below.
If the motor can operate at either 115 or 230 volts, it is set at the factory to 230 volts. Do not change
motor wiring if line voltage is 230 volts, or if you have a single voltage motor.
Never wire a 115 volt motor to a 230 volt line.

Limited Warranty
STA-RITE warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”) of the products listed below, that they will be free
from defects in material and workmanship for the Warranty Period shown below.
Product Warranty Period
whichever occurs first:
Water Systems Products — jet pumps, small centrifugal pumps,
12 months from date of original installation,
submersible pumps and related accessories
or 18 months from date of manufacture
Pro-Source™ Composite Tanks 5 years from date of original installation
Pro-Source™ Steel Pressure Tanks 5 years from date of original installation
Pro-Source™ Epoxy-Lined Tanks 3 years from date of original installation
12 months from date of original installation, or
Sump/Sewage/Effluent Products
18 months from date of manufacture

Our warranty will not apply to any product that, in our sole judgement, has been subject to negligence, misapplication,
improper installation, or improper maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, operating a three phase motor with single phase
power through a phase converter will void the warranty. Note also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg,
ambient compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended size or the warranty is void.
Your only remedy, and STA-RITE’s only duty, is that STA-RITE repair or replace defective products (at STA-RITE’s choice). You
must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty service through the installing
dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received after the Warranty Period has
expired. This warranty is not transferable.
STA-RITE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on the duration of an
implied warranty, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You. This warranty gives You specific legal rights and
You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
This Limited Warranty is effective June 1, 2011 and replaces all undated warranties and warranties dated before June 1, 2011.
