Voltmaster Centrifugal Trash Pumps 3 Operation 3.1 Before starting 3.1.1 Safety Before operating the Voltmaster Trash Pump: ■ Read and be familiar with this instruction manual. ■ Read and follow all safety instructions (see Section 2.1, page 3). ■ Read and follow instructions in the engine manufacturer’s documentation. CAUTION An overheated pump can be extremely hot, resulting in severe burns. Stop pump immediately if overheating occurs.
Voltmaster Centrifugal Trash Pumps ■ Before operating, ensure pump is on a firm, flat, level surface. ■ If pump is located next to a pit or hole, ensure pump is anchored so that it cannot fall in. ■ Locate pump as close to the level of the fluid to be pumped, but never higher than 25 feet (7.5m) above fluid surface. ■ Keep hoses and piping straight and as short as possible, avoiding sharp bends. ■ If hoses must be laid across a roadway, protect it with planking.
Voltmaster Centrifugal Trash Pumps 2. 3. 4. 3.2 Make plumbing connections to the pump using at least 12 inches (30cm) of flexible hose. ■ Rigid piping may put stresses on the pump, resulting in damage to equipment. If rigid piping is necessary, properly support the piping to eliminate stresses on the pump. ■ Use sealant on all threaded connections. ■ Ensure connections, drain, and filter plugs are tight but not overtightened. Excessive force on connections may damage threads or the pump body.
Voltmaster Centrifugal Trash Pumps 3.2.1 3.2.2 Priming time ■ At sea level, with a suction lift from 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3 meters), the pump should discharge fluid in less than 1minute. A suction lift of up 25 feet (7.6m) requires less than 2 minutes. ■ Priming time will increase with increased elevation above sea level. ■ To reduce priming time, the engine speed may be increased (after the engine is properly broken in; see engine documentation).
