OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The compression has a rubber bladder inside. This bladder must be pumped up
to 23 PSI of air at all times. Use a bicycle pump (not included) to inflate the
bladder. On the end of the compression tank, opposite the inlet, is an air valve
located under a cover. Remove the cover over the air valve and periodically
monitor this air valve with an air pressure gauge to ensure that the rubber
bladder maintains the required air pressure.
2. Make sure the intake pipe is fully submerged before continuing.
3. Before starting the pump for the first time, prime it as follows:
a. Fill the suction pipe and pump body through the priming inlet.
b. Close the inlet after verifying that there are no leaks.
c. Open the spigots, faucets and/or taps on the delivery pipe so that air can be
release from the suction cycle.
4. This is a self-starting pump that uses a pressure switch. Once the power cord is
connected, the pump can start at any time. Do not handle or perform
maintenance on the pump if the power cord is plugged in,
5. After reading these instructions, consider the following points before starting the
pump:
a. Verify that the delivery pipe is properly connected.
b. Verify that the electrical connection is 120 V~, 60 Hz.
c. Verify that the electrical socket is in good condition.
d. Verify that water and moisture cannot get near the power supply socket.
e. Verify that the pump is installed so as to prevent running dry.
6. To begin pumping, plug in the power cord. When the line is pressurized, the
pump will go onto standby mode until the pressure falls below its starting
pressure.
