Operation PD 2A/3A Priming Pump See Graphic: wc_gr001064 Diaphragm pumps are self priming and seldom need to have water added to them before starting. However, if the pump has not been used for several weeks and the rubber valves inside it are dry, adding water through the surge chamber (f) will help the valves seal and shorten the amount of time required for the pump to prime.
PD 2A/3A Operation To Start See Graphic: wc_gr000014 4.6.1 Open fuel valve by moving lever to the right (a1). Note: If engine is cold, move choke lever to close position (b1). If engine is hot, set choke to open position (b2). 4.6.2 Turn engine switch to “ON”...
Operation PD 2A/3A Operation Run engine at full speed while operating pump. Pump should begin pumping water within a minute depending on length of suction hose and height of pump above water. Longer hoses will require more time. If pump does not prime, check for loose fittings or air leak in suction hose.
PD 2A/3A Operation 4.10 Hoses and Clamps See Graphic: wc_gr001065 Suction Hose Suction hoses (a) must be rigid enough not to collapse when pump is operating. Discharge Hose Discharge hoses (b) are usually thin-walled collapsible hoses. Rigid hoses similar to those used as suction hoses may also be used as discharge hoses.
Maintenance PD 2A/3A Maintenance Periodic Maintenance Schedule The chart below lists basic machine and engine maintenance. Refer to your engine Operator’s Manual for additional information on engine maintenance. Daily After Every 2 Every Every before first weeks starting 20 hrs. or 25 hrs.
