CAUTION
I 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.
[_i_WARNING] Never
run pump against closed discharge.
To do so can boil
water inside pump, causing
hazardous
pressure in unit, risk of explosion
and possibly
scalding
persons handling
pump.
Step 1. Open the pressure regulator
as far as possible
without
backing
it
out of the regulator
body. Then remove the regulator
from the pump
and fill the pump, fill all piping
between
the pump and the well,
and make sure that all piping
in the well is full.
If you have also
installed
a priming
tee in the suction
piping,
remove the plug from
the tee and fill the suction
piping
(see Figure 13).
Step 2. Replace all fill plugs and close the pressure regulator
completely
(Figure 14).
Step 3. Power on! Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge. The
pressure should
build rapidly
to about 50 PSI as the pump primes.
Step 4.
Step 5.
Step 6.
After 2 or 3 minutes,
the gauge should
show pressure.
If not, stop
the pump,
remove the fill plugs, reopen the control
valve, and refill
the pump and piping.
Y()u may have to repeat this two or three
times in order to get all the trapped
air out of the piping.
Don't
for-
get to close the control
valve each time before you start the pump.
When pressure has built up and stabilized
at about 50 PSI, slowly
open the control
valve (see Figure 15) and let the pressure drop
until the pressure gauge needle starts to flutter or drops to 0. When
the needle flutters or drops, close the valve iust enough to stop the
flutter or bring the needle back to a stable pressure (see Figure 15).
Y()ur pump is now operating
at its most efficient
point.
After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shut off,
check the pressure switch
operation
by opening
a faucet or two
and running enough
water out to bleed off pressure until the pump
starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and
stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through
one or
two complete
cycles to verify correct
operation.
This will
also help
clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged
during
installation.
