OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Suction and discharge pipes: To avoid air locks and make priming easy the suction pipe should be laid so that it rises evenly from the water source to the pump. All pipe joints have to be sealed airtight and they should be the same size or larger than the pump inlet and discharge outlet. PRIMING • To prime the pump, remove the priming plug and fill pump and suction pipe with water. Pump has a non-return valve and is capable of drawing air from the normal size suction pipes and hoses.
TYPE OF WATER If any liquid contains stringy or large material that may cause obstruction, a suction strainer should be used. If the pump is needed for chemicals, you must check the pump compatibility with your local dealer. FIXED INSTALLATIONS In some installations and only if the pump is used under stressful conditions, such as pumping uphill for long distances, the pump may not work on start up.
