Preparing To Start The Pump - Water Ace R100U Notice D'utilisation

PIPING
Both the suction and discharge ports are tapped for 1" BSP
threads. If using hoses, use hose adapters. See Figure 2. Do
not use a hose on the suction if pumping from lakes, streams
or ponds. The hose will collapse and cause pump failure.
Install a strainer with a foot valve on the end of the suction
line. Inspect and clean the strainer frequently (Figure 4).

NOTICE: An air leak in the suction pipe may draw air in
although no water leaks out. Make sure there are no air leaks
or air pockets in the suction pipe.
PRIMING/OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not run the pump dry. Running the pump without
water can damage the impeller and may damage the seal,
causing leaking or flooding, and will void
warranty.
All suction connections must be airtight. Make sure the suc-
tion lift is not more than 25 feet (7.6M). Fill the pump body
through the priming port before starting the pump. Start the
pump; it should pump water in under 10 minutes (depending
on the length of the suction hose and the height of the pump
above water).

Risk of burns. Never run pump dry. Running
the pump without water may cause the pump to overheat,
damaging the seal and possibly causing burns to persons han-
dling the pump. Fill the pump with water before starting.

Hazardous Pressure. Never run the pump
against closed discharge. To do so can boil water inside pump,
causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and pos-
sibly scalding persons handling pump.
1. Remove the priming plug from the priming tee and fill the
pump. Fill all piping between the pump and the well and
make sure that all piping in the well is full. If you have
also installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove
the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.
See Figure 5.
Figure 5: Prime the Pump.
2. Replace all fill plugs.
3. Power on! Start the pump. If you don't have water after 2
or 3 minutes, stop the pump and remove the fill plugs.
Refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat this
several times in order to get all of the trapped air out of
the piping. A pump lifting water 25' may take as long as
15 minutes to prime.
Congratulations on a successful installation.
