Priming The Pump; Starting The Pump; Electric Start - IMER RD 75 Manuel D'utilisation

5.1. PRIMING THE PUMP

Your pump is a self-priming pump. A self-priming pump raises the water by its own means into the
suction pipe by pumping the air therein. For self-priming to work, it is imperative to fill the pump body
with water before starting.
□ Never attempt to operate the pump without priming water or the pump will overheat.
□ Extended dry operation will destroy the pump seal.
□ If the pump has been operated dry, stop the engine immediatly and allow the pump to cool
before adding priming water.
Before starting the engine, make sure to fill the pump with water:
1. Screw off the priming cap [Fig. 13];
2. Fill the pump fully with clear water [Fig. 14];
3. Rescrew the priming cap.
□ Don't screw off the priming cap during operation of the pump to avoid damaging the equipment
and injuring persons.
□ Never run the pump without priming water, which will cause the pump to overheat.

5.2. STARTING THE PUMP

□ Check that the suction pipe is properly connected to the suction port;
□ Check that the discharge pipe is properly connected to the discharge port;
□ Check that the suction hose is equipped with a strainer;
