The IntelliPro VS-3050 must be primed before starting for the first time. It may take several
minutes depending on water depth, pipe size, and length. Note: IntelliPro VS-3050 will prime
itself when used in a fl ooded suction system.
Caution – to avoid permanent damage to IntelliPro VS-3050 , before starting the pump,
fill the housing strainer with water so that the pump will prime correctly. If there is no
water in the strainer, the pump will not prime.
Never run the pump dry. Running dry may damage seals, causing leakage and fl ooding.
Do not add chemicals to the system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted
chemicals may damage the pump and will void the warranty.
Release all pressure from pump and piping system prior to servicing.
Never tighten or loosen the clamp while the pump is operating.
1. Press the stop button if the pump is running.
2. Disconnect the communication cable from the pump.
