Installation and
Operating Instructions for
RVM Pump Sets
NOTE: Prior to installation remove the inlet and outlet pipe
transport plugs & associated seals from the suction and/or
discharge ports.
WARNING : The RVM system and associated pipework operate under pressure.
Under no circumstances should the RVM System or associated pipework be
disassembled unless the internal pressure of the unit has been relieved. Failure to
observe this warning will expose persons to the possibility of personal injury and
may also result in damage to the pump, pipework or other property.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions and comply with all applicable
codes may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Please pass these instructions on to the operator of this equipment.

The pressure tank fitted to your Davey pump set should be pre-charged with air to a value of 15kPa below the cut in pressure. Refer to the table in the maintenance section of these instructions. CHOOSING A SITE Choose a site with a firm base and as close to the water source as possible with correct power supply. Make sure your pressure pump is always connected to an adequate, reliable source of clean water. Housing your Davey Pump: To protect your pump from the weather, make sure the housing is both water proof, frost free and has adequate ventilation. The pump set should be mounted on its base in a firm dry area allowing for drainage, to avoid damage due to flooding etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe joints or pump seals. WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, find electrical devices attractive for various reasons. If your pump enclosure is susceptible to insect infestation you should implement a suitable pest control plan. -

CONNECTION OF MAINS SCHEME OR TOWN WATER SUPPLY TO EITHER SUCTION OR DISCHARGE OF PUMP Most Water Supply Authorities have strict regulations regarding direct connection of pumps to mains water supplies. In most cases an isolating storage tank is required between mains supply and pump — Davey also recommend this method. Directly applied mains pressure can exceed pump operating pressure and damage pump. Davey Water Products Pty. Ltd. cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage resulting from incorrect or unauthorised installations. PRIMING AND OPERATION 1. After installing pump set shut the discharge gate valve 2. Fill pump, suction line and discharge assembly with water via the priming ports. On flooded suction simply open suction gate valve to the pump set. When full, fit priming plugs and hand tighten firmly. -

MAINTENANCE The only regular attention your new pump set requires is to check the pressure tank’s air charge every 6 months. This can be checked at the air valve with a tyre gauge. Do not charge tank to a higher pressure than 15 kPa below cut-in pressure setting. To check air pressure in tank: 1. Switch off pump. 2. Open outlet nearest to pump to release water pressure. 3. Remove air valve cap from top of Supercell tank and charge tank to correct pressure using air pump and check with tyre gauge. 4. Reprime system and switch on. NOTE: Your pump is designed to operate as an automatic pressure system. The pressure tank will require a specific precharge air pressure dependent upon model. While your pressure tank may have been precharged in manufacture, the precharge pressure should be checked upon installation and every 6 months thereafter. -
