Packing lubrication and cooling water is drained
from the high pressure pump by a bilge pump
drain system. The system is completely automatic
and activated whenever the main battery switch
is ON. A fuse in the control switch panel protects
the bilge pump circuit from an overload.
Water drains from the high pressure pump cool-
ing water sump (bilge) by gravity to a sump box
equipped with an automatic switch that is con-
nected to the bilge pump. When the water level
in the sump box raises enough to activate the
automatic switch, the bilge pump is activated and
pumps the water from the sump box to the debris
tank. When the water level in the sump box is
lowered, the switch will turn the pump o.
The sump automatic switch and inside of the sump
box are accessed by removing the sump box lid.
It is important to periodically remove the lid to
inspect the switch and clean out accumulated
debris that can restrict water ow to the pump.
Information and owner’s manuals for the bilge
drain system components are included with this
manual. Refer to this information for additional
operation and service data.
The following bilge pump system compo-
nents should be inspected daily or at the
start of each shift:
• Inspect the cooling water sump (bilge) in the
UHP pump. Clean any debris that may restrict
drainage to the bilge pump system.
• Inspect the drain hoses and sump system for
loose ttings.
• Monitor the operation of the bilge pump sys-
tem at the start of each shift to make sure
the pump and automatic switch are working
properly.
