Congratulations on selecting a Dayliff DB/DBH Pump. They are manufactured to the highest standards and if installed and operated correctly will give many years of efcient and trouble free service. Careful reading of this Installation Manual is therefore important, though should there be any queries they should be referred to the equipment supplier.
The pump has small physical dimensions, axial suction port and radial discharge and is base plate mounted. DB suction chamber and pump head are made of grey cast iron while the impeller and impeller housing are of stainless steel. DBH pump body, suction and discharge ports are made from AISI 316 stainless steel as is all the other parts in contact with the pumped liquid.

If there is negative suction (i.e the pump is above the suction water level) the suction pipe must be slightly angled upwards towards the pump inlet to avoid the formation of air locks. It must also be immersed in water by at least 0.5m to avoid the formation of vortexes and a good quality foot valve must be fitted.
4) PRIMING Serious damage will occur if a pump is not properly primed and runs without water. WARNING The pump must be primed before operation. To do this completely fill the pump housing with clean water through the priming plug before switching it When full replace the priming plug and start the pump checking there is a steady flow at the pump outlet.
