Questions regarding this machinery should be directed toward the manufacturer. Serial numbers of the engine or pump and the Mfg. Serial # are required to source the correct replacement components. This and other useful information are found on the Vintag, affixed to the non-curb side of the trailer near the tongue.
OVERVIEW OF PUMP DESIGN The Premier Pump 4NNT-RP-D2.9L-T85 series is an automatic self-priming pump driven by a diesel engine. Specifically designed to handle abrasive fluids such as sewage and sludge containing solids, it provides a dependable, high efficiency solution for your pumping requirements.

The 5-position channel on the tongue of the trailer accepts a variety of towing couplers. Pictured is a lunette eye, that mates with a pintle hitch on the tow vehicle. Ball couplers of various sizes may likewise be fitted. Regardless which is used you must ensure the trailer is level to prevent “fishtailing”...

A lifting bail/eye has been included and is the only attachment point strong enough for lifting and/or suspension. Appropriate lifting gear; shackles and straps are not supplied. D-rings are located on each corner of the trailer to provide adequate tie-down points for extreme weather conditions and can be useful when transporting the unit on a flatbed trailer.

ENGINE The units come standard with an adequately powered diesel engine rigidly mounted to the chassis. The engine will automatically shut down whenever a low oil pressure or high coolant temperature condition occurs. Do not restart the engine without first identifying the source of the problem.

PRIMING SYSTEM Priming may be accomplished by the Redi-Prime® (RP) automatic priming system. The belt driven vacuum pump (A) evacuates air from the suction spool (231) and separator assembly (B) via a hose (421). The water column rises - flooding the pump. As the liquid flows, the priming system continues to operate whenever the engine is running.
OPERATION OF THE PUMP With the pump properly leveled, plumbed, and fully primed, bring the engine up to half speed. Then, turn the engine off and expect it slowly reduce its rpm and come to a stop. If it stops suddenly or there is any unusual noise, identify the cause of the trouble. Do not restart the engine until the problem is corrected.
PRE-START CHECKLIST Fill the fuel tank with appropriate type of diesel. Check any fuel/water separator for contaminants & drain. Check the engine oil level. Check engine coolant level. Check vacuum pump gearbox oil level. Check the pump’s mechanical seal reservoir oil level.
STARTING THE ENGINE USING THE AUTOSTART CONTROLLER When equipped, the AutoStart controller is designed to automatically start and stop the engine. Designed for use in combination with widely available common ground contact switches or submersible liquid level transmitters producing a 4-20mA signal. Either can be purchased separately from the manufacturer.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING!! Improper practices or carelessness can cause burns, cuts, mutilation, asphyxiation or other bodily injury and even death. Read and seek clarification of all safety precautions and warnings before performing any repair. This list contains the general safety precautions that must be followed for personal safety.
pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes pressure. Do not check for pressure leaks with your hand. High-pressure oil or fuel systems can cause personal injury. • To avoid personal injury, use a hoist or get assistance when lifting components that weigh 23 kg [50 lb.] or more.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES For periodic maintenance and repair/troubleshooting, please consult the owner/operator manuals for the engine, pump and/or control panel. They were shipped with the machine and should be found inside the document holder. Replacements may be requested from the manufacturer. At regular intervals check for any slight increase in noise or heat that may develop in any part of the pump, including the coupling, stuffing box, and bearings.

ELIMINATING PUMP PROBLEMS Does your pump make popping sounds, or sound like it's pumping marbles? Simply defined, cavitation is the formation of bubbles or cavities in liquid, developed in areas of relatively low pressure around an impeller. The imploding or collapsing of these bubbles trigger intense shockwaves inside the pump, causing significant damage to the impeller and/or the pump housing.
Page 21
When a pump's discharge pressure is extremely high, or runs at less than 10% of its best efficiency point (BEP), discharge cavitation’s occur. The high discharge pressure makes it difficult for the fluid to flow out of the pump, so it circulates inside the pump. Liquid flows between the impeller and the housing at very high velocity, causing a vacuum at the housing wall and the formation of bubbles.

between the seal and its respective seat must be prevented. Minute amounts of dirt or grease that come from handling a seal with unsanitary hands can result in misalignment. Damaged seal due to improper installation. Suction and discharge piping must be correctly sized and designed to prevent the degradation of pump performance.
