Aussie Pump
The pump supplied on these units is a
centrifugal type with a maximum flow of 450
L/min and maximum head of 75 m. It is mated
to a Honda GX160 petrol motor with a power
output of 5.5 HP.
Hydraulic Shock
If the water flow is suddenly terminated by
closing a valve without stopping the pump
first, it can cause hydraulic shock. This can
travel back to the pump causing serious
damage. To prevent pump damage turn valves
slowly.
Cavitation
Your pump is cavitating if knocking noises and
vibrations can be heard when it is operating. If
you continue to operate your pump when it is
cavitating, it will be damaged.
How to avoid cavitation
•
Minimise the number of valves and bends
in suction line
•
Suction length should be as short as
possible
•
Suction pipe should be at least the same
diameter as the pump inlet connection
•
Use long radius bends
•
Do not allow air into the suction line
•
Ensure adequate submergence, at least
5.3 times the suction hose diameter
Pump Performance
•
For maximum performance, efficiency
and life, operate the pump at the best
efficiency point which is 85% of total
pump head (75 m).
•
To maximize pump life, drain pump after
use and flush out with clean, fresh water.
•
Read engine manufacturer's owner's
manual thoroughly and service as
recommended.
•
Store pump in a dry, safe location when
not in use.
•
Aussie Quik Prime pumps are specifically
designed to pump water. Pumping other
liquids may shorten life and impact on
warranty.
•
Pumping water containing solids will
prematurely wear pump components, and
may impact warranty.
•
Ensure that the correct size strainer is
installed on the suction hose at all times,
even on trash pumps.
