Startup
Get the pump ready for start-up:
Remove from packing. Check the oil level of the engine and the level of fuel.
Make sure the electrical connections have not been damaged or disconnected
during transport. Make sure that no bolt or screw has been loosened by
vibration in transport. Every pump that we build is tested at the factory and
meets rigorous standards of quality. To make sure that nothing outside our
control occurred between our test and the delivery of your pump, we
recommend you to do a functional test.
Functional test:
Connect a suction hose of 3’’ diameter and a length of 10’. Make sure to
completely submerge the end of the suction hose at least 12’’. Connect a
discharge hose of 2.5’’ diameter and not more than 30’. The difference of height
between the inlet of the pump and the surface of the water source should not be
over 6’. The pump test should be done at an altitude lower than 3280’ (1000m)
from sea level.
Not matching these conditions could reduce the performance of the pump.
Initiate starting procedure.
Be certain not to prime more than 30 seconds. Confirm the pump performances
correspond to the chart given in this manual, with a maximum variation of 15%.
If your test doesn’t match these results, make sure you have the same
conditions as described here and that you have correctly followed the starting
procedure. Otherwise contact your local C.E.T. Fire pumps dealer or C.E.T.
direct.
