The Kerr Pumps Engineering Service will be happy to advise you in your installation problems. As almost every installation varies, you cannot
exercise too much care in making certain your installation is proper.
Before Starting The Pump, read carefully the maintenance section in the following pages.
To start the pump, open the suction line valve and permit the intake chamber to fill on the pump. Air may be bled off by opening the valve
covers slightly until there is a constant fluid flow. After bleeding, open the discharge line valve and start the pump. Roughness may occur from
cavitation (air in line) or from starvation (lack of fluid). Eliminate these troubles before permitting continuous operation.
For best results, follow these installation guidelines.
