PRIMING THE PUMP
1. Remove the filler plug on top of
the pump case and prime the
pump by filling completely with
water, leaving no air gap.
Remember the pump is
self-priming only when filled,
after which, it will re-prime itself
without refilling. Refilling is
necessary only if the pump has
been drained, or if all the water
has been lost.
• Note: the BPD800 & 1200SS have
the ON/OFF switch mounted on the opposite side of the motor.
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 the pump does not deliver water refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING.
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.
In the event of blockages, where debris has entered the suction chamber,
the chamber can be taken off and cleaned out as described under
Maintenance on page 10.
5. Periodically, check the level of the water being removed and never allow
the pump to run dry.
6. Stop the pump by switching the pump the OFF (O) position.
