Installation and Operating Instructions for Davey HM Series Pressure Systems with Pressure Switch (Pressure Tank required and purchased seperately) NOTE: Prior to installation remove the inlet and outlet pipe transport plugs & associated seals from the suction and/or discharge ports.
Davey pressure system is designed to handle clean water. The system should not be used for any other purpose without specific referral to Davey. The use of the system to pump flammable, corrosive and other materials of a hazardous nature is specifically excluded.
Pressure Switch Setting and Tank Precharge Your Davey HM Series Pressure Pump should have the correct pressure switch settings for zero suction lift. If your pump is installed with a suction lift you may need to have the cut out switch settings adjusted. The pressure tank(s) fitted must be air pre-charged as per the table in the maintenance section of these instructions.
NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motors are fitted with an automatic reset thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a problem e.g.

Davey also recommend this method. Directly applied mains pressure can exceed pump operating pressure and damage pump. Davey Water Products Pty Ltd can not accept responsibility for loss or damage resulting from incorrect or unauthorised installations. Priming and Operation WARNING: When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power is switched off and lead unplugged.

3. Ensure all valves in suction line are open and plug into electrical supply. 4. Switch on power and the pump will run. A full flow of water should be discharged from the open tap. Allow water to flow for 10-20 seconds, or at least until all air has been expelled from the pump and then close the outlet.
Maintenance The only regular attention your new pressure system requires is to check the pressure tank’s air charge every 6 months. This can be checked at the air valve with a tyre gauge. Do not charge tank to a higher pressure than 14 kPa below cut-in pressure setting.
Electrical connections should be serviced only by qualified persons. If the electrical supply lead of this pressure system is damaged, it must only be replaced by authorised Davey service personnel as special tools are required.
