4.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
4.1.1 Employ a competent electrician to ensure wiring installation is made in accordance
with any local electrical codes. Every motor requires either a fused disconnect
switch or a circuit breaker.
4.1.2 Check that the information on the nameplate corresponds to the power supply.
4.1.3 A single phase motor has a built in thermal overload switch.
5.0 PRIMING
5.1.1 The pump will prime and re prime providing the hair and lint pot bowl is full of water
and there is sufficient supply from the suction point.
5.1.2 If you lose water from the hair and lint pot bowl it will be necessary to re fill it before
starting.
5.1.3 Remove the clear lid and fill the hair and lint pot bowl with water. Replace the lid
ensuring the o-ring is correctly located and start the pump.
5.1.4 After you have done this allow a few minutes (maximum) for the pump to start
delivering water.
5.1.5
!
WARNING:
High suction lift or long suction lines will require additional time to
prime and can severely affect the performance of the pump. If the pump will not
prime (flow), repeat step 1 and 2 above.
5.1.6
!
WARNING:
Mechanical seals if allowed to run dry can be damaged rapidly and
may need to be replaced.
5.1.7 ENSURE that there is always adequate water in the hair and lint pot bowl before
you commence start up.
5.1.8 If you are unable to prime the pump please see the trouble-shooting guide.
5.1.9 Ensure all suction and discharge valves are open before you start the pump,
operating the pump with these valves shut can damage the pump.
