Operation
PRIMING THE PUMP
NEVER run pump
dry. Running pump
without water may cause pump to
overheat, damaging seal and possibly
causing burns to persons handling pump.
Fill pump with water before starting.
NEVER run pump
against closed
discharge, to do so can boil water inside
pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit
and possibly scalding persons handling
pump.
NOTE: Open water system faucets
before priming pump for the first time.
1. Remove pressure gauge.
a.Close regulator valve (turn
clockwise - See Figure 7).
b.Fill pump and suction pipe with
water (See Figure 8).
c. Replace pressure gauge, using
Teflon tape on thread; tighten
gauge.
IMPORTANT: If a priming tee and plug
have been provided for a long
horizontal run, be sure to fill suction
pipe through this tee and replace plug
(Don’t forget to teflon tape the plug).
2. Start Pump:
Pressure should build rapidly to 50
pounds per square inch (psi) or more
as ejector and pump prime.
IF NO PRESSURE OR NO WATER, REPEAT
STEPS IN No.1 (at left) two or three
times to remove entrapped air from the
suction pipes.
3. If, after priming pump several times,
no water is pumped, check the
following:
a.Be sure suction pipe is in the water
and has no leaks.
NOTE: Air can leak in even where water
won’t leak out. Make sure all joints are
tight.
