6.0 PRIMING
6.1 The pump will prime and reprime providing the hair and lint pot bowl is full of water and
there is sufficient supply from the suction point.
6.2 If you lose water from the hair and lint pot bowl, it will be necessary to refill it before
starting.
6.3 Remove the clear lid and fill the hair and lint pot bowl with water. Replace the lid,
ensuring the o-ring is correctly located.
6.4 Ensure all suction and discharge valves are open before you start the pump. Operating
the pump with these valves shut can damage the pump.
6.5 Start the pump.
6.6 Allow a few minutes (maximum) for the pump to start delivering water.
6.7 iWARNING: 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 or
produce flowing water, repeat the steps above.
6.8 iWARNING: If allowed to run dry, mechanical seals can be damaged rapidly and may
need to be replaced.
6.9 Ensure that there is always adequate water in the hair and lint pot bowl before starting
the pump.
6.10 If you are unable to prime the pump see 8.0 Troubleshooting.

7.0 MAINTENANCE
7.1 The hair and lint pot should be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals.The procedure
for inspection and cleaning is as follows:
1. Remove the lid and lift out the hair and lint pot.
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, replace.
4. Replace the hair and lint pot.
5. Reprime the hair and lint pot bowl.
6. Correctly locate the o-ring.
7. Replace the lid, hand tight only.
8. Switch on pump.
7.2 In climates where the pump may be exposed to frost or freezing, care must be taken
to ensure the pump is protected from damage. It is recommended that if the pump is
not used during this winter period, it should be drained completely. Drain plugs can be
supplied for this purpose. The winterising procedure is as follows:
1. Drain the pump.
2. Do not replace the drain plug. Store it in a safe place until you require the use of the
pump. An example would be within the hair and lint pot bowl basket.
3. If possible, remove the pump and store it in a dry location during this period.
4. When you reactivate the pump, ensure all seals and o-rings are in operational
condition and replace them if necessary—Regrease o-rings and gaskets with silicon-
based grease on refitting.
5. Check that the motor shaft moves freely before reactivation.
6. Reprime pump as per 6.0 Priming.
