INSTALLATION
Please read carefully! When properly installed this primer pump will provide dependable trouble-free service.
1. Locate pump as near the source to be pumped as possible. A flooded suction situation is preferred. This pump is self-priming, however, there must be
fluid in the pump for it to function properly. A check valve is recommended for non-flooded suction. (Figure 2)
2. Mount motor base to a secure, immobile foundation.
3. Use only plastic fittings on both the intake and discharge ports. Seal pipe connections with Teflon™ paste. These fittings should be self-supported
and in neutral alignment with each port. (i.e. Fittings must not be forced into alignment which may cause premature line failure or damage to the pump
volute.)
4. Never restrict the intake. Keep both input and discharge lines as free of elbows and valves as possible. Always use pipe of adequate diameter.
This will reduce friction losses and maximize output.
5. This pump must not be run dry! We recommend a flooded suction installation. Please read carefully! When properly installed, the pump will provide
dependable, trouble-free service.
6. Before starting pump, the priming pot must be filled with water.
ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP
1. Check that supply voltages match the motor’s requirements.
2. Check motor wiring and connect, according to instructions on motor, to match supply voltage.
3. Power cord should be protected by conduit or by cable and be of proper gauge. It should be no longer than necessary.
4. Power should be drawn directly from a box with circuit breaker protection or with a fused disconnect switch.
