Fuel - Use only Diesel fuel or unleaded gasoline for Petrol
engines.
6.
Suction piping. Make sure packing is placed at the seat of
hose coupling and all suction piping lines are perfectly free
from air leaks. Make certain suction line is laid gradually
descending from the pump to source of supply to avoid
possibility of air lock.
7. Always fit strainer to end of suction line. Non return valve is
always helpful but not essential.
8. Do not over tighten hose couplings.
9.
Arrange check valve, stop cock or on/off nozzle at delivery
hose end.

water and refit cap.
2.
Open gate valve on delivery line.
3. Open fuel cock, close engine choke, start engine,
4. NB. PA Fast prime pumps are self priming and no additional
priming is required as long as the casing is filled with water and
there are no suction line leaks.
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
1. Slow engine then switch to off 'Stop' button.
2. Close fuel cock.
3. Drain pump casing if there is any possibility of freezing,
PUMP OPERATING POINTERS
1. Never run pump dry as this may result in seal damage.
2. Ensure that all hose and pipe connections are airtight,
IMPORTANT; an air leak in the suction line will prevent
priming and will reduce the capacity of the pump.
3. Always place the pump as close to the liquid to be pumped as
possible. Keep all lines as short and straight as possible, Avoid
sharp bends in hoses. Keep the pump on a level foundation.
4. If flexible hose is laid across a roadway protect it with planking,
Instantaneous shut off pressure is applied when a vehicle runs
across an unprotected hose and will cause 'hydraulic shock'.
This can damage and or breakage of pump casing of the
pump and/or the hose.
5. When pumping dirty water or other liquids which may contain
solids always use a pump strainer. If the suction strainer is
likely to clog with dirt and debris do one of the following:
(a) Prepare a bed of stones in which to rest the strainer.
(b) Tie the strainer so that it stays at the bottom of the pit or
excavation.
(c) Tie the strainer inside a basket or bucket to protect it from
slurry,
6. Always flush out the pump at the end of operation if the liquid
being pumped may leave a solid or sticky residue,
