OPERATION
Do not use the pump in explosive environments
Do not use the pump without the inlet screen fitted
Do not run the pump without water for longer than one minute, as dry running will
damage the seal.
Do not exceed the maximum inlet pressure of 12 bar.
Basic Operation
The Godiva Prima pump is designed for extinguishing fires with an unrestricted water
source.
Water must be as clean as possible and can be fresh water or sea water. For long term
use with sea water, gunmetal material pumps are strongly recommended.
Operator Controls
Operation of the pump is by two basic controls
– discharge valve and pump speed
control.
Typical location of controls

Operation
– from an open water source, Piston Priming
Ensure that a suitable strainer (with holes of maximum 10mm diameter) is secured to
the end of the suction hose and suspended below the water but not resting in mud or
sand.
Connect the suction hoses securely to the suction tube and close the discharge valves.
Engage the pump drive and increase the pump speed to 2600rpm.
The pump has two modes of priming operation, configured by the OEM
– automatic or
manual.
Automatic Priming (if installed by OEM)
When the pump is running, the primers will automatically engage if the pump pressure
drops below 0.75 bar, and disengage when pump pressure rises above 0.75 bar.
When priming is in operation the LED will illuminate (if configured by the OEM).
