SELF PRIMING EXTERNAL PUMPS

We congratulate you on your choice of the EXP Self Priming Pump! It has been carefully designed using the advantages of today's

technology and carefully constructed to give you the dependability of yesterday. To insure proper performance, we urge you to carefully

follow the instructions in this manual. If you have any questions, call your nearest distributor or EasyPro for assistance.

INSTALLATION

Please read carefully! When properly installed this primer pump will provide dependable trouble-free service.

1. Locate pump as near the source to be pumped as possible. A flooded suction situation is preferred. This pump is self-priming, however, there must be

fluid in the pump for it to function properly. A check valve is recommended for non-flooded suction. (Figure 2)

2. Mount motor base to a secure, immobile foundation.

3. Use only plastic fittings on both the intake and discharge ports. Seal pipe connections with Teflon™ paste. These fittings should be self-supported

and in neutral alignment with each port. (i.e. Fittings must not be forced into alignment which may cause premature line failure or damage to the pump

volute.)

4. Never restrict the intake. Keep both input and discharge lines as free of elbows and valves as possible. Always use pipe of adequate diameter. This will

reduce friction losses and maximize output.

5. This pump must not be run dry! We recommend a flooded suction installation. Please read carefully! When properly installed, the EasyPro pump will

provide dependable, trouble-free service.

6. Before starting pump, the priming pot must be filled with water.
