Self-priming
Pump is self-priming up to 4 m. Intake lines
must be air-tight to ensure self-priming.
Note: Pump will prime when impeller is dry
but suction lift up to 4 m is only obtainable
when impeller is lubricated with liquid being
pumped or Johnson Impeller Lubricant.
For permanent installations where suction
lift exceeds 4 m, a foot valve should be
used to assure priming on start up.
ALWAYS USE JOHNSON IMPELLER
LUBRICANT (glycerin) for impeller lubri-
cation. Never use grease or mineral oils.
Continuous duty
For continuous duty 0,6 bar (60 kPa, 8,5
psi) maximum head is permissible. Max
ambient temp is +60°C.
Dry running
Do not run dry for more than 30 seconds.
Lack of liquid will burn the impeller and
damage the seals.
Caution. Explosion Hazard.
Do not pump gasoline, solvents, thinners
or other flammable liquids.
Do not handel highly concentrated or
organic acids
Caution. Explosion Hazard.
Never operate a motor which in any way
has been manipulated and lost it's full
enclosure.
Temperature
Max ambient temperature: +60°C.
The life of the impeller depends on the
temperature of liquid being pumped. Tem-
peratures between +5°C and +55°C give
normal life. Higher or lower temperature
will reduce the life.
Original instructions
Caution.
The normal working temperature of the
