Operation Before proceeding, make sure your pump has been correctly
installed as described in “Installation” on page 23.
Starting the Pump 1. If pump has a flush seal option, start the flow of flush water
(approximately 5 US gallons per hour recommended rate)
before operating the pump.
2. Prime the pump by flooding the pump casing with liquid
BEFORE star
ting the pump to avoid damage to pump parts.
See “Priming the Pump With the Feed Source Above Pump
Level” on page 28 or “Priming the Pump With the Feed
Source Below Pump Level” on page 29.
3. Start the pump motor and check the motor rotation to make
su
re it is in the same direction as the arrow on the pump.
4. Check the pump to see that liquid is flowing and that all piping
con
nections and seals are leak-free.
5. Make sure that the pump is not operating against a closed
d
ischarge. Continued operation against a closed discharge
will heat the liquid in the casing to boiling and lead to pump
damage.
6. Slowly open the discharge valve until the desired flow is
ob
tained. Observe pressure gauges and if pressure is not
attained quickly, stop the pump and prime it again.
