3. The pressure regulator has been preset at the factory for 3600 PSI.
If you wish to change this setting, loosen locknut, turn black
handle clockwise to decrease the output pressure. If adjustments
are necessary the handle should be turned while there is no
pressure indicated on the gauge.
4. Once test pressure has been reached, the motor should be shut off
and the ballvalve closed simultaneously.
NEVER LEAVE THE MOTOR
RUNNING WITH THE BALLVALVE CLOSED.
5. Check for any leaks at this time. If no leaks are found but a drop
in pressure is indicated on the gauge, air in the lines is the
probable cause.
REMEMBER THESE CAUTIONS
:
1. Check oil level in pump prior to operating.
2. Use a sound
¾
” or larger supply hose.
3. Use a clean
water supply to feed the pump.
4. NEVER run the pump dry.
5. NEVER close the ball valve while the pump is running.
6. Flush system thoroughly after each use.
7. Protect the pump from freezing in cold climates, use anti-freeze or
some suitable solution.
USING THE EXCLUSIVE RICE ENGINEERED FEATURE TO IDENTIFY LOSS
1. After test pressure is reached stop motor and close ball valve
simultaneously.
2. Note the pressure reading on the gauge. Wait the specified time
and then note any pressure drop.
3. After noting the pressure at the end of the test period open the
ball valve and pressurize the line back up to the original test
pressure.
4. Shut off the motor and close the ball valve again. Now open the
needle valve on the output assembly and draw out enough water to
duplicate the pressure drop experienced during the test. Collect
this water in a container so that it can be measured. By
duplicating the pressure drop you have also duplicated the exact
amount of water lost during the test period.
