6.4.3 Pump Priming Procedure
Before turning the system on and checking motor rotation, the pump must first be primed.
Failure to do this will result in damage to the pump’s mechanical seal.
•
Ensure inlet hose(s) are attached to the inlet of pump and the clamps are tightened
securely.
•
Fill the inlet hose from the dip tube end, so coolant fills both the hose and pump
casting completely from inlet side. You should be able to see coolant rising out of
clear 2” pump outlet hose when full.
•
Filling one hose and holding it higher than pump inlet fittings will cause fluid to fill
the second inlet hose for dual inlet setups.
•
Fill the CDR settling tank reservoir with coolant until fluid begins to drain back to
machine tank through overflow hose. (Roughly 15 gallons of coolant will be
required)
