•
Engage the PTO, run up at low engine speed, and open
the foot valve of the suction line.
•
Slowly open the stop valve and keep the PTO speed
constant until the pumped medium is distributed by the
spreading device at the end of the delivery line.
•
Do not fill the delivery line too quickly. Cavitation can occur
under these conditions & the pump can become damaged
very quickly
•
Increase PTO speed gradually until the desired
operating pressure and discharge rate are reached.
NOTE! The pump does not always need to be operated at
maximum operating speed.
Always choose a speed that is just sufficient to obtain the
desired performance.
Failure to this instruction could increase fuel consumption,
pump wear-out rates and possibly damage other parts & the
pumping system
NEVER WORK THE PUMP IN CAVITATION !
