PRE-OPERATION
Do not use this tool under unsafe working conditions or locations.
Use this pump only for it's intended purpose.
This pump is not designed for operation with a suction pipe inlet.
Read entire manual prior to operation of this tool.
(Refer to all safety recommendations and warnings)
Observe all safety precautions & procedures required by the operating company.
Check the Pump inlet screen and discharge for debris or obstruction.
Connect a compatible (2" SP2 or 3" SP3) discharge hose and securely tighten.
Ensure that hydraulic source is OFF and Control Valve is in the OFF position
before making any connections.
Connect appropriate hydraulic hose to the tools' return and pressure ports.
(Length may vary) Use a length of hose that will not restrict free movement, or
pose any hazard to the operator or other personnel on the work site.
OPERATION
Observe ALL required safety guidelines established by the Utility or Contractor.
Lower the pump into the liquid, or position tool as required by the application.
Remove any kinks from discharge hose to ensure proper flow of discharge.
Position and direct the discharge hose in a manner that neither hose, or discharge
will restrict free movement, or pose a hazard to the operator or other personnel.
WARNING
DO NOT direct discharge towards any person, animal or vehicle.
Turn ON hydraulic source and select an appropriate flow for the tool. (7 gpm)
COLDER WEATHER - Allow hydraulic fluid to warm for 3-5 minutes before operating.
NOTE: Do Not lift water with solids beyond 40 ft. if hydraulic flow is below 7 gpm
Move the Control Valve to the ON position.
Allow unit to run, watching for excessive solids and/or reduced discharge flow.
Possible Cause: The hydraulic flow / head ratio may be insufficient to carry excess solids.
The pump may have settled into excessive solids beneath the liquid to be pumped.
Stop Pump to check & resolve.
Reduced flow may cause accumulation of solids in the volute, and increase pump wear.
Failure to resolve may result in reduced discharge capacity and/or pump damage.
Move the Control Valve to the OFF position.
Return the Flow Selector to the OFF position, and Turn KEY to the OFF position.
