Connecting to the intake port (6) (Where water is to be
transferred from)
The Intake connection is to be connected to your
water supply via various connections (not supplied).
An example set up is show here (Fig Q).
The intake port (6) of the pump is 1” BSP. So
purchases of any ttings for the intake port (6) of
the pump, the threaded tting is required to be
1” BSP. This is shown as number 6 on page 8.
For the intake port (6), purchased ttings can be
used directly into the intake port (6) of the pump.
The tting supplied which is not being used on the pressure outlet (5) can
be used on the intake port (6) if required, however it is critical one of the
supplied ttings is used into the pressure outlet (5) of the pump.
Extra ttings can also be purchased from our online spare parts store.
Description NOTE: Teon tape (not supplied) is applied to all ttings
requiring tape for correct assembly.
Connecting the intake hose / suction pipe.
1. Screw an intake hose* minimum of 19mm (3/4”) diameter hose preferably
spiral re-inforced. This may be directly, or with a threaded nipple to the
pump’s intake port (6) (25 mm (R1) (1” BSP)).
2. The intake hose* should rise from the water pick-up point up to the
pump. Always avoid laying the intake line higher than the pump as
this will cause air bubbles in the intake line which will delay and hinder
suction (Refer previous Fig C).
3. The intake and pressure lines* must be attached in such a way that they
do not place the pump under any mechanical strain.
4. If the intake line* is not air-tight the intake of air will hinder the intake
of water.
Purchased components for plumbed inlet:
Figures R & S show the components for the plumbed threaded inlet
for a non pressure connection.
The tting supplied which is not being used on the pressure outlet (5) can be
used on the intake port
(6) if required, HOWEVER,
it is critical one of the
supplied adaptor ttings
(10 & 11) is used into the
pressure outlet of the
pump (5).
Preparing your pump for operation for the rst use.
NOTE: Ensure the unit is NOT connected to the mains power when
undertaking this task (Fig A).
NOTE: During the priming process if your pump is connected to a tap, ensure
the tap is open (Fig T).
Once the preparation of the pump is complete, you are ready to prime the
pump.
Preparing to prime your Garden Pump
The objective/process of priming your pump is to remove air from the system.
1. Set up the pump on at and rm ground (refer Fig C).
2. Using the spanner (8), unscrew the clear water ller cap (1) (Fig U) and
remove the coarse lter (2) together with the non-return valve (3) (Fig V/W).
NOTE: If the lter and
non-return valve does
not lift out of the pump,
remove the water intake
screw (7) (Fig X) and
gently push the non r
eturn valve (3) upward
using the end of the
supplied spanner (8)
(Fig Y).
