10. BASIC WATER PUMP OPERATION
10.1 PUMP PRIMING
This pump is self priming, fill the pump outlet
with water then connect the hoses to the
pump as described in section 8. When the pump is started it will prime itself and then start
pumping water.
NOTE: The pump will take time to prime itself. This time is dependant on suction hose length
and could take as much as 10 minutes if the pump is further from the water source to be
pumped.
The pump should always be sited as close to the water that needs to be pumped as possible.
Ensure that all hose connections are tight. The self priming function will not work if air can
be sucked through poor hose connections.
Ensure the water pump is turned off before attempting to open the pump.
