SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest pumps
on the market today. These pumps are products engineered
and manufactured of high quality components. Over one
hundred years of pump building experience along with a
continuing quality assurance program combine to produce a
pump which will stand up to the toughest applications.
This manual will provide helpful information concerning
installation, maintenance, and proper service guidelines.
B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage
or shortages. If damage has occurred, file a claim immediately
with the company that delivered the pump. If the manual is
removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.
B-3) Storage:
Short Term
- Prosser Pumps are manufactured for efficient
performance following short inoperative periods in storage.
For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory
assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures
for up to six (6) months.
Long Term
- Any length of time exceeding six (6) months, but
not more than twenty four (24) months. The units should be
stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed over walled
enclosure that provides protection from the elements (rain,
snow, wind-blown dust, etc.), and whose temperature can be
maintained b40 deg. F and +120 deg. F.
If extended high humidity is expected to be a problem, all
exposed parts should be inspected before storage and all
surfaces should then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.
Pump should be stored in its original shipping container.
On initial start up, rotate impeller by hand to assure seal
and impeller rotate freely. If it is required that the pump be
installed and tested before the long term storage begins, such
installation will be allowed provided:
1.) The pump is not installed under water for more than
one (1) month.
2.) Immediately upon satisfactory completion of the test,
the pump is removed, thoroughly dried, repacked in
the original shipping container, and placed in a
temperature controlled storage area.
B-4) Service Centers:
For the location of the nearest Prosser Service Center, check
your Prosser representative or Crane Pumps & Systems, Inc.,
Service Department in Piqua, Ohio, telephone (937) 778-8947
or Crane Pumps & Systems Canada, Bramton, Ontario,

SECTION C: INSTALLATION
C-1) Location:
These pumping units are self-contained and are recommended
for well type predewatering of building sites or pipelines,
sumping and dewatering of coffer dams, caissons and tunnels,
for dewatering of manholes and transformer vaults, construction
sites and for emergency service, for shipboard dewatering of
cargo holds and tanks, for damage control or ballast transfer
and for general use in shipyards, dry-docks or off-shore rigs.
Before pumping fluids other than water, consult the factory,
giving fluid, fluid temperature, specific gravity, viscosity, capacity
in USGPM and total head and/or pressure requirements,
including friction loss through discharge line, fittings, valves,
etc. Maximum fluid temperature for sustained operation is
104°F (40°C) at specific gravity 1.0. Pump may run dry for
reasonable period in air without damage where air can circulate
freely through pump. DO NOT allow pump to be buried in mud
or sand.
IMPORTANT! - Pump should have strainer
affixed at all times. Inspect and clean the pump
strainer periodically for maximum efficiency and
performance.
C-2) Discharge:
Discharge hose is recommended. If rigid pipe is used, install so
that there is no weight or strain on the pump.
C-2.1) Series Connection:
(Optional)
The In-Line suction and discharge permits multiple pumps to be
operated in series where the discharge of one pump is directly
connected to the suction of another with the use of an adapter
kit. Two small pumps instead of one large one enables the user
to meet high head requirements on one job and separate the
pumps to meet lower head requirements on the next.
When a group of pumps are SERIES connected the appropriate
SERIES ADAPTER KIT (See page 30) should be used. It is
important to remember that all the weight should not be carried
through the pump housings. This is particulary important where
the “spacing” method is used. Each pump is supplied with
attachment points so that they may be steel cable supported for
lifting, lowering or supporting (See Figure 1).
NEVER LIFT OR
