OWNER'S MANUAL
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
DDD/DDS SERIES
BEFORE INSTALLING PUMP, BE SURE TO READ 
THIS OWNER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY.
Mechanical shaft seals do not run dry. 
Fill pump with water before starting or pump will be 
damaged. The motor on this pump is guaranteed by 
the manufacturer and in event of failure it must be 
returned to an authorized service station for repairs. 
Motor warranty is void if repairs aren’t made by an 
authorized repair station.
INSTALLATION
Suction Piping
The pump should be installed as close as possible to 
the source of water in order to minimize the length of 
suction piping. The suction pipe should never be smaller 
in diameter than the suction opening of the pump. It 
must be free of all leaks, and should slope continuously 
upward from the water source to the pump, with no high 
spots, which can trap air. A foot valve must be used to 
maintain the prime.
General Piping Instructions
In order to avoid strain on the pump, both the suction 
and discharge piping should be properly supported, 
and a pipe wrench should be put on the suction and 
discharge bosses when installing pipes in them.
Electrical Connections
Remove the end cover (canopy) from the motor, and 
using the diagram on top of the motor, make sure it is 
connected for the correct voltage.
