4.
Start the pump. Water should be pumped
in 1-2 minutes. If not,
repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
On shallow
depths
to water
(10 feet or less), the pump will
probably
prime the first time after following
steps 1 through
4
above.
5.
From 10 to 20 foot depths, you might have to shut off the pump
and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 several times.
If, aRer priming
pump
several
times, no water
is pumped,
check the following:
A. Be sure suction
pipe is in the water,
B. Be sure suction
pipe does not leak.
C. Be sure that pump
is not trying to lift water
too high (see
"Piping in the Well',
Page 4).
D. As long as foot valve and check valve function
correctly
and
suction pipe does not develop
leaks, pump should not need
reprinting
in normal service.
