Priming the Pump With the Feed Source Below
Pump Level
The pump will not self-prime if the liquid supply is below the pump
level. When the liquid supply is below the pump level, an outside
source must be provided for priming.
1. Close the discharge valve (item C) and open the air vents.
2. Open the valve installed in the outside supply line (item A)
until liquid flows from the vent valves.
3. Close the vent valves.
4. Close the outside supply line.
NOTE: Use a check valve system (item B) to keep the supply line
and pump casing flooded with liquid; otherwise the pump must be
primed before each operation.
Stopping the Pump
1. To stop the pump, shut off the power to the pump motor.
NOTE: Liquid in system can flow freely through the pump; the
pump does not act as a shutoff valve.
2. Shut off supply and discharge lines.
