8.5 Start-up
Before start-up, the pump must be filled with 1.2 to
1.5 gallons of water to enable it to self-prime,
see fig. 14. The pump is self-priming with a
maximum suction lift of 25 ft.
Fig. 14 Priming the pump
When started, the pump begins to self-prime.
When it has been primed, the pump will
automatically change over to normal operation.
If the priming has not been completed within
5 minutes, the pump will stop automatically and
attempt to restart after 30 minutes. It is possible to
reset the pump manually, see point 2 in the table of
section 9.1 Control panel.
