Packing Gland and Pump Body Temperature Haz-
ard. May result in serious burns.
Heat is dissipated through the cross-section of the
packing, transferring the heat to the packing gland
and pump body.
!
WARNING
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the drop rate is
acceptable.
Note: After adjusting the packing, the pump must
pass the following vacuum test described below.
Vacuum Test
1. Remove all caps except openings without valves.
Close all discharge, intake and drain valves and
other similar openings. Operate priming device to
create a vacuum of about 22 in. Hg/.735 atmos-
phere in pump, then stop primer and engine.
2. Watch the pressure gauge; if vacuum drops more
than 10 in. Hg/.334 atmospheres in five (5)
minutes, listen for air leaks around the packing
gland, gaskets, valves, etc.
3. Replace gaskets, re-adjust packing, repack or oth-
erwise repair source of trouble.
4. Repeat test.
Overheat Protection Manager
Check the electrical circuit by pressing the test button lo-
cated on the panel plate every 100 hours of pump opera-
tion or every six months, whichever comes first.
If the light does not flash, the light bulb or flasher may
need replacement (provided all wire connections are
solid).
Butterfly Valve (BFV)
Operate valve once a week for optimal performance.
