BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR PUMP

Pump clean water only with this pump.

NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involv-

ing salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will

void warranty.

To avoid clogging the pump and damaging the shaft seal,

do not pump water containing solids, foreign material,

sand, silt, or abrasives. Always have the suction strainer

installed when the pump is operating. Failure to use a

strainer may cause the pump to fail and void the warranty.

Clean the strainer and flush out the pump after each use.

Make sure all of the hose and pipe connections in the suc-

tion line are tight. An air leak in the suction line will prevent

the pump from priming and reduce pump performance.

To prevent damage to pump materials, do not use pipe

joint compounds on pump ports. Use only teflon tape or

Plasto-Joint-Stik* to seal the threads.

Tighten all of the piping joints to the pump hand tight

+1-1/2 turns only. Overtightening may break the pump

and will void the warranty.

Do not allow the pump or any system component to

freeze. Freezing will void the warranty.

Periodically inspect the pump and the system components.

PRIMING THE PUMP

All suction connections must be airtight. Make sure the

suction lift is not more than 25 feet (7.6M).

NOTICE: 'Priming' refers to the pump expelling all air in

the system and beginning to move water from its source

out into the system. It does not refer only to pouring

water into the pump (although pouring water in is usual-

ly the first step).

Burn Hazard. NEVER run the pump dry.

Running the pump without water may cause pump to

overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to

persons handling the pump. Running pump without

water can damage the impeller and may damage the

seal, causing leaking or flooding, and will void the war-

ranty. Fill the pump with water before starting it.

Follow the steps below.

1. Remove the priming plug.

2. Make sure the suction and the discharge valves and

any hoses on the discharge side of the pump are open.

3. Fill the pump and suction pipe with water

4. Replace the priming plug, using Teflon tape on the

thread; tighten the plug.

NOTICE: If a priming tee and plug have been provid-

ed for a long horizontal run, be sure to fill the suction

pipe through this tee and replace the plug. (Use

Teflon tape on the plug.)

5. Start the pump; water should be produced in 10 min-

utes or less. The time will depend on the depth to

water. If no water is produced within 10 minutes,

stop the pump, release all the pressure, remove the

priming plug, refill the ports and pipe and try again.

Pumping From Lakes, Streams, and Ponds

(See Figure 1)

Locate the pump as near as possible (vertically) to the

water source, to keep the suction lift (distance from the

water to the pump) as low as possible. Place the pump

on level support. Protect against excess moisture and

flooding.

Long pipe runs and many fittings increase friction and

reduce flow. Use the smallest possible number of fittings

and the shortest possible run for piping.

Support the weight of the pipe.

Be sure the water is clear of debris which can clog the

pump, such as sand, dirt, or scale. Be sure the foot valve

and the pipe are clean and in good condition; scale or

dirt in the foot valve can cause the valve to leak. Valve

leakage may cause the pump to lose its prime, which

can result in pump failure.

Piping

Both the suction and discharge ports are tapped for 1"

BSP threads. If using hoses, use a hose adapter. See

Figure 1. Do not use a hose on the suction if pumping

from lakes, streams or ponds. The hose will collapse and

cause pump failure. Install a strainer with the foot valve

on the end of the suction line. Inspect and clean the

strainer frequently (Figure 1).

NOTICE: An air leak in the suction pipe may draw air in

although no water leaks out. Make sure there are no air

leaks or air pockets in the suction pipe.
