Commissioning - Stuart Turner Monsoon Extra U1.4 bar Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

5 COMMISSIONING / SYSTEM FLUSHING/ PRIMING / STARTING
5.12 Water Supply: Always ensure that water storage capacity is adequate to meet
the demand. Ensure the pump chamber is full of water before starting the pump.
Failure to do this could result in seal damage. To ensure dry running does not
occur the pump must be primed as described in priming section below.
Do not run pump dry.
5.13 Priming:
The pump must be primed (filled with water) before starting.
Turn on the service valves (1), and vent/prime pump head.
(a) Loosen priming plug (2) and allow an even flow of water this may take a
few seconds.
(b) Re-seal draining plug, nipping tight. The pump is now ready to start.

5.14 Starting:
a) Ensure all outlets are closed, turn power supply 'on' - pump will start,
pressurise the system then stop.
b) Open and close all outlets in turn associated with the pump, (including w/c
systems) allowing water to flow from each outlet until all air is purged. As
each outlet is opened and closed, the pump will start and stop respectively.
Note: After closing the outlet there will be a small delay time before the pump
stops, which is normal.
c) Any tap or control valve within the system when opened and closed will now
turn the pump on/off. Providing this is the case the system is now operating
correctly.
d) Carefully check pump and pipework for leaks whilst pump running and
stationary before leaving the installation unattended.
5.15 For Further Technical Support: Phone the Stuart Turner Pump Assist team on
0844 98 000 97. Our staff are trained to help and advise you over the phone.
5.11 System Flushing: The pipework system should be flushed out
prior to the pump being connected to ensure any contaminants/
chemical residues and foreign bodies are removed from elsewhere
in the system.
Never operate pump with inlet and/or outlet isolating valves in the
closed position. Damage will occur!
