plished by providing a ¼” (.5 cm) line from the top
of the pump back to the liquid source. We will not
assume any responsibility for damage to the pump if
no check valve is used in the discharge line. Properly
fueled and lubricated, your pump will run without
attention.
3.5 If flexible hose must be laid across a roadway, protect
it with planking. Instantaneous shutoff pressure ap-
plied when a vehicle runs over an unprotected hose
will cause “hydraulic shock”, which may damage the
casing or seals.
3.6 Drain the pump body whenever there is danger of freezing.
3.7 Always flush out the pump at the end of operation if
the liquid being pumped may leave a solid or sticky
residue in the pump. If this is not done, damage to
the pump may result.
4. Troubleshooting
A) PUMP FAILS TO PRIME
1. Priming chamber empty or not sufficiently full.
2. Wrong direction of rotation.
3. Air leaks through the suction line joints (loose screws
or broken hoses).
4. Quick coupling gaskets broken or not well mounted.
5. Hose clamps loose or broken (tighten or replace).
6. Liquid in priming chamber overheated (fill with
cold liquid).
7. Delivery line under pressure (see Operating Instructions).
8. Rotation Speed too slow (increase speed).
9. Worn or broken impeller, worn or damaged volute
(replace as required).
10. Air leaks through damaged mechanical seal (replace
the seal).
B) LOW CAPACITY
1. Suction strainer clogged (clean).
2. Suction or delivery line obstructed (remove obstruction).
3. High friction losses in the suction line (eliminate
unnecessary curves, restrictions or valves).
4. Suction lift too high (set up the pump as near as
possible to the water level).
5. Rotation speed too low (increase speed).
6. Impeller clogged (remove obstruction).
