INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Installation
Location
The pump should be located as near as possible to the liquid
to be pumped and in no case should the pump be more than
7m (23 feet) above the surface of the liquid supply. The
pump should always be as level as possible.
Suction System
Connect horizontal suction hose or pipe to suction flange.
Pipe or hose must be self supporting without adding stress
to pump body. If a hose is used, it should be of the
reinforced type to prevent collapsing under vacuum. All
suction system pipe or hose and connections must be free of
air leaks, as even a very slight leak will greatly reduce
pumping efficiency and priming ability. The pump should be
installed with the trash strainer on the suction line to prevent
oversize solids from being drawn into the suction system.
Discharge System
Connect discharge hose or pipe to discharge elbow on top of
the pump body.
Operation
Priming
Remove the flooding cap at the top of the casing and screw
it back tightly after filling up the casing with priming water.
(Open the gate valve on the delivery line, if so equipped.) In
freezing weather use warm water if possible, to prevent
damage to internal parts from ice. At each subsequent start,
check priming liquid level in pump body since the pump is
self-priming only when the body is full of liquid.
