1. Remove the filler plug on top of
the pump and slowly fill with
water until all air is expelled.
• Refilling is necessary only if the
pump has been drained or if
the water has been lost. Never
allow the pump to run dry.
2. Open any valve(s) fitted to the
outlet side of the pump so as to
ensure as great a flow as
possible.
• If the inlet filter is being used, it is
recommended that you
remove the brass plug on top of the filter unit and fill the filter bowl with
water.
3. Switch on the pump and check for leaks. Water should start to flow
through the system after a short while. If this does not happen, check to
ensure that:
a. the inlet pipe is completely secure and free from any defects.
b. the pump body has been correctly primed.
OPERATION
1. Open any valves in the pipeline.
2. Connect the power supply and switch the pump ON.
3. Wait for the pump to prime.
4. If the motor fails to start or does not deliver water, refer to Troubleshooting
on page 12.
NOTE: Filling the suction pipe with water will speed up the priming
process, and it is recommended that a non-return valve be fitted
to the end of the suction pipe.
• If debris has entered the pump causing a blockage, the end
housing can be taken off and the pump cleaned out as described
under Maintenance on page 11.
REMEMBER: Contaminated water is water containing small solids in
suspension, NOT slurry, sludge, sand, or mud.
5. Stop the pump by switching the pump OFF.
6. After use, drain residual water from the pump if there is danger of freezing.
If the pump has been used with contaminated or salty water, it should be
thoroughly flushed with clean water following use, both inside and out
before replacing the plug.
