Start-up procedure

After pump installation, the system
can be started by using the following
procedure:
• Make sure suction hose is connected
to the water supply.
• Open the spray nozzle and start
the pump.
• Close the spray nozzle when water
21
begins flowing and all air has been
34
purged from the system.
55
• If additional spray nozzles or taps are
82
in use after the pump, open each
additional nozzle/tap until all air has
been purged from the system.
• Pump will cut off after taps are
closed and pressure builds to the
setpoint of the pressure switch

The pump is self-priming up to 2m for
38
WD 2.9, 2,5m for WD 3.5 and 2,5m
63
for WD 5.2 and. The inlet pipe must be
airtight to ensure self-priming

Dry running

Pump will not be damaged by shorter
period of dry running. It will, however,
unnecessary reduce your battery power.
