PREOPERATIONAL CHECK
Perform the following steps to prepare the P-100 dewatering pump for operation.
! CAUTION
The suction hose may require support to prevent excessive weight from stressing the pump cas-
ing, inboard head, or engine. Where practical, the suction hose should be tied to a nearby struc-
ture or blocks should be placed beneath the suction hose adjacent to the pump unit to relieve
stress on the pump.
NOTE
Care should be taken to ensure that the suction hose (or pipe) is airtight. Neither the pump nor the
primer will lift water if the suction side of the pump has any air leaks.
1.
Connect the suction hose fitting to the suction coupling and place the suction hose into the water supply.
2.
Submerge the suction intake sufficiently into the water to prevent sucking in air.
3.
CLOSE the drain valve and all other openings into the pump casing.
4.
Connect the discharge hose fitting to the discharge valve. Ensure that the discharge hose is manned.
