Priming The Pump - CountyLine CLSS5 Manual Del Usuario

Installation • Operation
Connect the pump inlet
to the water faucet
for use with sprinklers.
Figure 3 - Connect pump to a spigot for use with
sprinklers. Connect with adapters supplied with pump
Piping
Both the suction and discharge ports are tapped for
1" NPT 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).

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 suction 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). If not, reprime
and turn on again.

Priming the Pump

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 handling the pump. Fill the pump with water
before starting.
Risk of explosion and scalding . Never run
the pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil
water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in
unit, risk of explosion and possibly 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.
