PAGE 26 —DRY PRIME PUMP — OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #3 (10/06/08)
1. The Dry Prime pump should begin pumping water within
a minute depending on the length of suction hose and
height the pump is above water.
Longer suction hoses will require
more time for the pump to begin
pumping water.
2. If pump does not begin to pump water after a few
minutes, check for loose connections or air leaks in
suction hose. Make sure there is water in the vacuum
system and strainer is not clogged with debris, reference
Pump Troubleshooting Flowchart.
