INSTALLATION / START UP
Installation and Start up
Install the pump in a vertical position or it may not prime properly. Pump should be located as close to the product being
pumped as possible. Suction line length should be as short as possible and limit the number of fittings. Suction line diameter
should not be reduced smaller than the suction diameter of the pump. When using rigid pipe run short sections of flexible hose
or flexible connections between the pump & piping. Secure the pump to a suitable surface.
Air Supply
Connect the pump air inlet to an air supply with sufficient capacity to achieve desired performance. A pressure regulating
valve should be installed to insure air supply pressure does not exceed recommended limits.
Fasteners
Re-torque all fasteners before operation. Creep of housing and gasket materials may cause fasteners to loosen.
Re-torque all fasteners to the torque specifications listed on the exploded view drawing in this manual.
Air Inlet & Priming
Pump will start to operate as soon as the shut-off valve is opened. It is recommended to open the shut-off valve slowly at first.
Once the pump primes; the shut-off valve can be opened additionally to increase the pump’s flow. If the pump is operating
but not pumping any liquid see the troubleshooting section for tips & suggestions.
Accessories
Surge suppressors, spill stops & filter regulators are available and should be used with
