Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a firm base and as close to the water source as possible with correct power supply.
pump is always connected to an adequate, reliable source of clean water.
Make sure your
Housing your Davey JY Jet Pump
To protect your pump from the weather, make sure the cover provided is water proof,
frost free and has adequate ventilation.
The pump should be horizontally mounted on a firm base allowing for drainage, to
avoid damage to flooring etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe joints or
pump seals. Do not mount the pump vertically.
Pipe Connections
For best performance use P.V.C. or polythene pipes at least the same diameter as the pumps inlet and delivery outlet
openings. Larger diameter pipe may be used to minimise resistance to flow when pumping longer distances.
Use unions as pipe connections to enable easy removal and servicing. Use sufficient tape to ensure airtight seal and hand
tighten only. To prevent strain on pump threads always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes. If there is a likelihood the
water supply may contain solid particles such as pieces of plant or vegetable matter, a suction strainer should be installed
before the pump to avoid blocking of the pump. Lay suction pipe at a constant gradient to avoid air pockets which reduce
pump efficiency.
Installations with a Suction Lift
Installations with a suction lift over 1 metre require a good quality foot valve to avoid loss of prime.
Installations with Flooded Suction
Installations with flooded suction require a gate valve so water supply can be
turned off for pump removal and servicing.
NOTE - Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump performance and are difficult to detect. Ensure all
connections are completely sealed USING THREAD TAPE ONLY.
EARTH CONNECTION
The pump power lead includes an earth wire which MUST be correctly connected to a suitable earth on the
electrical supply.
POWER CONNECTION
Connect lead to power supply designated on pump label. Do not use long extension leads as they cause
substantial voltage drop, poor pump performance and may cause motor overload.
Before installing your new pump, please read all instructions carefully as failures caused by incorrect installation or
operation are not covered by the guarantee. Your JY Jet Pump is designed to handle clean water. The pump should not be
used for any other purpose without specific referral to Davey. The use of the pump to handle flammable, corrosive and
other materials of a hazardous nature is specifically excluded.

Abrasive Materials
The pumping of abrasive materials will cause damage to the pump which will then not be covered by the guarantee.
Connection of Mains Scheme or Town Water Supply to either Suction or
Discharge of Pump
Most Water Supply Authorities have strict regulations regarding
direct connection of pumps to mains water supplies. In most
cases an isolating tank is required between mains supply and
pump. Davey also recommend this method. Directly applied
mains pressure can exceed pump operating pressure and
damage pump.
Davey Products Pty Ltd cannot accept
responsibility for loss or damage resulting from
incorrect or unauthorised installations.
Priming and Operation
1.
Fill pump and suction line through the pump discharge or priming port (on flooded suction, simply open
gate valve to pump).
2.
Ensure outlet nearest to pump is open.
3.
Ensure all valves in suction line are open and switch on pump at power outlet.
4.
Prime should establish almost immediately and a strong flow of water should be evident from
the outlet. Allow water to flow for 10-20 seconds to expel air then close outlet and switch off
pump.
5.
If no flow is evident from tap, switch off at power point and repeat from step 1 ensuring there is an
adequate supply of water available to the pump.

NOTE - If connecting your JY Jet Pump direct to mains water, the casing pressure (maximum outlet pressure)
must not exceed 600kPa (6bar/87psi).
Water temperature in pump must not exceed 45oC, or damage caused will not be covered by guarantee.
WARNING
DO NOT RUN DRY.
DO NOT RUN WITH LOSS OF PRIME.
DO NOT PUMP WATER CONTAINING ABRASIVE MATERIALS.

Air trapped in suction lines (also possible with flooded suction due to uneven rise in piping; eliminate humps and
hollows).

After Sales Service
For professional after sales service or repair contact your Davey Dealer.
For assistance in locating your nearest dealer contact the Davey International Sales Office.
Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid possible injury from hot
pressurised water. Unplug pump, relieve pressure by opening a tap on the discharge side of the pump and
allow any hot water in pump to cool before attempting to dismantle.
WARNING - When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power is switched off and lead unplugged.
Electrical connections should be serviced only by qualified persons.
NOTE: For protection, the pump motor is fitted with an automatic “over temperature” cut-out. Constant
tripping of this overload device indicates a problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive temperature
(above 50oC) in pump enclosure.
In accordance with AS/NZS 60335.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that this pump is not to be used by
children or infirm persons and must not be used as a toy by children.
During servicing, use only approved, non-petrochemical based o-ring and gasket lubrication. If unsure, consult
your Davey Dealer for advice.
