c) To Use Gravity Feed:
•
Locate the water supply tank so that the outlet of the supply tank is higher than
the water inlet on the control panel (See Figures 2.2 and 4.3).
•
Verify the main power switch, HPP motor switch and feed pump motor are
switched to OFF.
•
Ensure the E-Stop button
is ‘
Pushed In
’ so that the power supply has been
disconnected. (See Figure 2.2).
•
Connect a hose (minimum 1-
1/2” diameter) to the water inlet (1-1/2” cam-lock
plug). Connect the other end of the hose to the water supply tank outlet.
•
Open any valves installed in the water supply line.
•
Make sure the lowest point in the hose line is the connection with the power
unit.
•
THE PUMP SYSTEM MUST BE FULLY PRIMED BEFORE STARTING THE
HPP PUMP OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO HPP PUMP WILL OCCUR. REFER
TO SECTION 4.3.2 ABOVE FOR PRIMING INSTRUCTIONS.
•
It is essential that adequate water is supplied to the water supply tank to
maintain the water level several inches above the tank outlet. Failure to
maintain an adequate water level in the supply tank during operation could
starve the pressure pump of water causing damage to the seals or other
components of the pressure pump.
Ensure that the water source can reliably deliver the maximum pump flow of 30
GPM (115 LPM).
A minimum flow of 40 GPM (150 LPM) is recommended
to ensure
that the pump is not starved of water. If connecting to a gravity feed tank, locate
the tank outlet above the water inlet connection on the power unit to ensure a
flooded suction line. (See Figure 4.3).
(EOS)
Ensure that the feed hose is connected to the inlet
connection and the water supply is on prior to starting
the pressure pump. Failure to supply water to the
pressure pump will cause damage to the pump.
