Note that all of these are those that must be replaced on any Simple Pump system, no matter what configuration driven by hand or motor. If the pump rod drops into the pump head the only way to retrieve it will be to remove the pump head and riser tube. Note that 50psi relates to approximately110 feet of head.) Finally, tighten the pinch bolt (on right) and then the three mounting bolts. Attach it, now, to the top of the current 24 rod. 5 0 obj
Keep in mind the power leads provided are 20 in length. Now is the time where a second set of hands might be helpful to deal with the added weight of the control box and to assure easier alignment of the lower linear bearing, yoke, and upper linear bearing as you slide them down onto the 3/4 rod extension. Loosen or remove the two 5/16 Allen bolts on the yoke and using a large flat blade screw driver gently spread the opening in the yoke to clear the pump rod. endobj
Please ask us if you want to consider this possibility. If the batteries fail or melt down the MorningStar will isolate them from the system with its built in circuit protections. Notice that one of the ring terminals is larger in diameter than the other, 3/8 and 5/16. 645 0 obj

Do not remove the stainless steel nipple (i.e. It is critical that, in high wind conditions, the PV cannot spin around or move and break the electrical connections to the control box. Stabilize and affix the battery box to the pole using the U-Bolt as shown in the photo below. Click here to view additional details on the Simple Pump Solar Well Pump Kits. No. The 5/16 ring terminal attaches to the empty negative post of the first battery, and the 3/8 ring terminal to the empty positive post of the second battery. How freely it moves is an indication of what the motor is working against. Also keep in mind that the solar panel will be facing south and we do not want it to be shaded by any other structures, plants, trees, or even the pump itself. They may or may not apply precisely to the mounting hardware you have purchased. (It can be more frequent for industrial applications, or any application pumping water with a significantly non-neutral pH, or high particulate levels.)

Then, if you want to charge a pressure tank, a small transfer pump can move the water from the ambient tank to the pressure tank. As long as the gear motor system is pumping correctly and not causing the motor to overload, no maintenance is required. Align the holes for the four mounting bolts with the four holes on the flat rear of the pump head. A few general tips that may be useful are: We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that a mounting pole extend a full 3 below ground level. :DO{aN~cZV.hY Z dz6)&T(J\6 /zS zp[h%hTyd]vP#.q At this point your batteries are charging and the system installation completed. We will come back to this at start up. The pump head will be removed and the 36 rod detached.

At this point the negative terminal of the first battery and the positive terminal of the second battery are not being used. At this voltage even the best deep cycle batteries available would be at 75% discharge and would need to be fully charged before doing any work. AGM will cost triple but will last longer. 128 degrees F, LBLD mechanism with stainless steel drive cover and electrical components cabinet, 3/4 x 36 stainless steel pump rod and 3/4 x 13 stainless steel pump rod extension, (3) 15amp ATO/ATC prong style fuses (spares), (4) 1/4-20 x 7/8 SS SHCS fasteners for mounting the LBLD to the pump hea, #6 gauge jumper cable for connecting two batteries, (4) Allen wrenches: 9/64, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, A small crescent wrench. You have two remaining two 20 cables, starting at the Solar panel J-box and extending out of it. After loosening the pinch bolt and the 3 mounting bolts on the split flange, pull the pump head up out of the well, enough to expose the bell end of the top PVC drop pipe and a couple of inches below that. endstream

Now connect these two cables at the two remaining male, female connectors on the bottom of the control box marked Panel positive and negative. Then depending on the option you have, you will: Remove the 13 rod extension to leave the 24 ready for hand operation. Or replace the 36 rod with the 24 rod. This procedure will be reversed. BE CAREFUL! This will give you time to read the Operators Manual to both the solar controller and the programmable timer. The Solar Panel has been mounted on the bracket and set to the desired sun angle as per bracket instructions. You may have chosen a different pole or roof mounting system. Turn on the power. Lower the control box over the pump rod passing the pump rod thru the lower guide bearing first, the yoke and then the upper guide bearing aligning the pump head with the four mounting holes on the adaptor plate and secure. Disconnect the 3/4 stainless rod from the topmost sucker rod. The panel bracket has been secured to the pole. During the break-in period, pump from the nozzle or unrestricted through a hose. continuous, Output Torque Maximum: 400 in/lbs.

The handle screws on to the pump rod in the OPPOSITE direction to regular screws and bolts you turn counter-clockwise to tighten. There are two issues that would need to be dealt with with increasing distance between the motor and the pressure tank voltage drop between the motor and the pressure switch and the resonant back-pressure wave that can arise.

The recommended configuration is to pump into the ambient (i.e. It is equally important for the pump head seals that only the smooth continuous rod pass by the seals on each stroke. Brace with gravel/rocks as necessary to hold the pole. If you did not already, lower the riser tube so that at least 6 inches of riser tube are below the split flange on the cap. A 15 amp fuse is present and is intended to protect the control circuits only. Using the male and female connectors as your guide, push the cable extensions onto the J-box power leads. Starting with a fully-functional lever-arm pump, what follows are the step-by-step installation instructions to remove the handle assembly and install the motor. Before you lower the control box onto the pump rod and pump head; first, rotate by hand the lever arm which is attached directly to the motor shaft so it is pointing directly at the ground and parallel to the pump rod.

Screw the four mounting bolts (1/4-203/4 SS SHCS) through the holes just aligned, fastening the mounting plate to the pump head. If you are using a transfer motor to take water from an ambient tank to a pressure tank, you can power that motor from the Simple Pump system. The linear bearing link drive translates the rotary action of the Simple Pump 24 volt DC gear motor to move the pump rod up and down on a precision ground and polished stainless shaft guided by two linear TEFLON bearing carriers. This positions the motor drive at the very bottom of the pump stroke. For example, if cut off by snow for a week and the motor fuse blows.
