The pump will prime and re-prime providing the filter tank water and there is sufficient
supply from the suction point. (It is for pump# 72542-72543-72544-72547-72548)
If you lose water from the filter tank it will be necessary to re-fill it before starting.

2. Replace the lid ensuring the o-ring is correctly located and start the pump. After you
have done this allow a few minutes (maximum) running for the pump to start delivering
water.
WARNING
High suction lift or long suction lines will require additional time to prime and can
severely affect the performance of the pump. If the pump will not prime, repeat step
1 and 2 above. The pumps # 72512-72513-72514-72515-72520-72521-72527-72528-
72529-72530 are required worked or installed below the water level. Mechanical seals if
runing dry can be damaged rapidly and may need to be replaced. ENSURE that there is
always adequate water in the filter tank before you start up. If you are unable to prime
the pump please see the trouble-shooting guide. ENSURE that all suction and discharge
valves are open before you start the pump, otherwise will result in damage to the pump.
Pump Start Up
Do not operate pump until it has been primed as water acts to cool and lubricate the
seal. For pumps without strainer bodies and locater above water, close suction line valve
and fill pump with water in order to prime. For pumps with strainer bodies and located
above water, prime by removing strainer cover and filling strainer body with water.
Pumps located below water level will selfprime if all piping is also below water level. After
pump has been primed, energize motor and open all suction and discharge line valves.
It may take some time for pump to remove air from suction lines. If no flow is observed
in five minutes, stop the motor and re-prime. If the pump fails to operate, check for air
leaks. Refer to Trouble Shooting section. After about ten minutes of operation, check
the return fittings for air bubbles. A continuous flow of air indicates leaks in suction line.
Locate and correct any leaks immediately.
Controlling the output
Keep the gate valve in the suction line fully open during operation. Should it be necessary
to control the output, use a valve in the return line. Caution: Do not retighten strainer
Ring-Lok during operation.
Caution: Do not operate pump with closed suction or discharge valves.
The strainer basket in the filter tank should be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals.
1. Remove lid and lift out basket.
2. Remove debris and hose off with clean water if necessary.
3. Inspect the lid gasket, lubricate with SILICON based grease only if needed. If it is
damaged, pls replace.
4. Replace the strainer.
