Pump Priming And Startup; Suction Line - Star HSP10P1 Manual De Instrucciones

PUMP PRIMING & STARTUP
CAUTION: All pumps must be primed (filling the
pump cavity with water) before they are first operated.
This may take several gallons of water, as the entire
suction line will be filled in addition to the pump cavity.
The longer the suction line, the more water is required
to prime.
1. Disconnect the 1-1/2 in. discharge union and
separate the pipe. (Fig. 40)
2. Remove the air relief plug on top of pump and the
1-1/4 in. priming plug with pressure gauge.
(Fig. 41)
3. Slowly fill pump cavity until water comes out of air
relief hole on top of the pump. (Fig. 42)
