Operation
After reading these instructions, consider the following points before starting the pump:
1. The Compression Tank has a rubber bladder inside
that has been pressurized to 23 PSI. Remove
the cover over the air valve (on the tank end opposite
the pipe connection) and periodically monitor this
air valve with an air pressure gauge to ensure
that the rubber bladder maintains the required air
pressure. Air can be added using a bicycle pump.
2. Make sure the intake pipe is fully
submerged before continuing.
3. Before starting the pump for
the first time, prime it as follows:
a. Fill the suction Pipe and Pump Body
through the Priming Inlet.
b. Close the Inlet after verifying
that there are no leaks.
c. Open the spigots, faucets and/or taps
on the Delivery Pipe so that air can be
release from the suction cycle.
4. This is a self-starting pump that uses
a pressure switch. Once the power cord is
connected, the pump can start at any time.
Do not handle or perform maintenance on
the pump if the power cord is plugged in.
5. Verify that the pump rests on the floor of the basin,
if it is not suspended by the handle.
6. Verify that the discharge pipe is properly connected.
7. Verify that the electrical connection
is 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
8. Verify that the electrical socket is GFCI
protected and in good condition. Test
GFCI protected outlet before use.
9. Verify that water and moisture cannot
get near the power supply socket.
10. Verify that the pump is installed so
as to prevent running dry.
11. Run pump for two minutes. If it fails to pump
water, disconnect power, re-fill pump body
through priming inlet and re-start.
12. To begin pumping, plug in the power cord.
When the line is pressurized, the pump
will go to standby mode until the pressure
falls below its starting pressure.
