b) Vertical suction models (flooded suction)
These models are supplied with priming plugs fitted. Certain models are also
available with the pump body rotated.
Priming instructions for these variants are as follows:-
The pump must be primed (filled with liquid) before starting. Turn on liquid
supply, prime and vent the pump by unscrewing the priming plug (Figs 18, or 19)
slowly until all air escapes and liquid emerges. Re-tighten the plug.
c) All models (suction lift installation)
Prime the suction pipework and pump by filling with liquid via the pump discharge
connection, or by filling the suction pipework before attaching to the pump, then
fill the pump.
5. Starting
a) Switch on power to the pump which will now be operational.
b) If pump has a three phase supply, confirm the direction of rotation is correct by
stopping and observing over run. The correct direction of rotation is
anti-clockwise when looking directly at the front of the pump casing. To reverse
rotation see wiring diagram section.
c) The pump should now be fully operational.
d) Carefully check pump and pipework for leaks whilst pump running and stationary
before leaving the installation unattended.
