5. CHECK PRIMING WATER
(See Fig. 2 u)
1. CONNECT SUCTION HOSE
(See Fig. 2 q)
-
-
It is recommended that the water chamber of pump casing
should be primed with full of water before operating.
Use a reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to prevent suction
collapse.
Since the pump self-priming time is directly proportional to
hose length, a short hose is recommended.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate the pump without priming
water or the pump will overheat. Extended dry
operation will destroy the mechanical seal.
CAUTION
If the unit has been operated dry, stop the engine
immediately and allow the pump to cool before
adding priming water.
Always use a strainer with the suction hose. Gravel
or debris sucked into the pump will cause serious
damage to the impeller and the pump casting.
