INITIAL START-UP INFORMATION
The performance of the pump depends on the entire fluid system and will operate best with the proper installation of
plumbing, operation, and maintenance of the pump.
LUBRICATION
It is recommended that pump be filled with Village Marine Tec’s specially blended high pressure pump oil. To check the
oil level, ensure the pump has stopped running. Then look into the sight glass in the side cover. Oil level should be level
with the mark on the sight glass (Fig.1).

PUMP FLOW DESIGN
To drive the pump to give the desired discharge volume for your specific application equation 2.1 is to be used.
PULLEY SELECTION
It is essential that an appropriate pulley size be selected to meet your application needs. Based on the required pump
discharge volume (in GPM), the correct pulley size can be selected using equation 2.2.
WARNING
This is a positive displacement pump. A properly designed pressure relief safety valve must be installed in the discharge
piping. Failure to install such a relief mechanism could result in personal injury or damage to the pump or system. Aqua
Pro Pumps does not assume any liability or responsibility for the operation of a customer’s high-pressure system.
NOTE
Change the original oil that came in the pump after running the pump for 100 hours. After the initial oil change, the oil
should be changed at 500-hour service intervals.
