PRIOR TO START-UP
If it is necessary to perform a pressure test, prior to initial use to ensure pump is
functioning properly, then the following criteria should be maintained for this test:
1. Have a professional perform this test.
2. Ensure all pump and system components are sealed properly to prevent leaks.
3. Remove any trapped air in the system by fully opening filter manual air relief valve until a steady
stream of water is discharged.
4. Allow no more than 40 psi (276 kPa) at a water temperature no higher than 100°F(38°C).
5. Run pressure test for no longer than 24 hours. Immediately inspect all parts to verify they are intact
and functioning properly. Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level.
NEVER OPERATE THE
PUMP WITHOUT WATER.
Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal.
NOTICE
WARNING
If pump is being pressure tested (40 PSI MAXIMUM), be sure pressure has been
released before removing strainer cover.
