DRY PRIME PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #3 (10/06/08) — PAGE 17
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multiquip Dry Prime pump is a prime dry and prime-
assist pump that can handle dewatering, sewer bypass, and
wellpoint applications.
The Dry Prime pump uses a vacuum pump to remove the
air. This becomes important in certain applications such as
long suction hose runs or multiple suction points (such as
wellpoints). In these cases, high volumes of air enters into
the pump. Dry Prime uses direct-drive vacuum pump to
efficiently remove very large volumes of air quickly to obtain
the priming necessary for these special applications. Dry
Prime is very useful when you have to move a lot of water
fast.
Impeller
The Dry Prime impeller has a patented design to eliminate
cavitation. It is a 2-blade spiral, smooth flow, open, non-clog
impeller, designed to handle up to 3.2-inch solids.The impeller
pulls water directly into the pump from the priming tank,
reducing friction losses, and then pushes it out the volute
discharge. This design does not cause turbulence normally
found in centrifugal pumps.
Wear Plate
In conjunction with the impeller, the wear plate gives a perfect
match for great pump performance and durability. The wear
plate can be fully adjusted up to .6 inch (15mm) for wear.
Priming System
The vacuum system is innovative, simple, yet rugged and
dependable. I uses direct drive which means no belt failure
and with only one moving part, means no maintenance. It
uses liquid-ring design with a closed water system. Separate
oil bath lubrication for the seal and bearings with oil reservoir,
can run dry without damage. It operates quietly with no
pollution or unwanted discharge noise.
Float and Backflush (Priming Tank)
The priming tank float is a one-piece welded construction,
rubber valve seat, self-aligning rubber hinge. This design
increases reliability. The backflush valve allows for cleaning
of the suction strainer or wellpoint headswhile the engine is
running.
Fuel Tank Frame and Trackbar System
Run time is up to 72 hours with the Dry Prime’s fuel tank,
good for continuous running for those long-term jobs.There
are two corner fuel drains to check condition of fuel. The
TrackBar system allows for the easy addition of jack stands,
fenders, axle, lifting bail, and other options. This allows for
fast and easy positioning of the jack stands on the job site
to fit the application, or to add subtract jack stands as
required.The removable, retractable towing tongue minimizes
storage requirements.
Volute
The pump volute has an external inspection cover to inspect
or clear the impeller. The pump shaft bearings and
mechanical seal are run in independent oil baths for low
maintenance.
LOFA Engine Control Panel
Vandal protected panel that provides engine status and shut-
downs in the event of low oil pressure, high engine heat,
and alternator belt breakage. Optional auto-start module with
floats can be added for automatic start-stop of pump engine
and pumping operation.

Figure 3-A. Pump
Components
PUMP COMPONENTS
Figure 3-A shows the location of the components of the Dry
Prime pump. The function of each component or control is
described below:
1. Rear Fuel Tank Drain Plugs – Remove either plug to
drain fuel.
2. Primary Tank Drain Valve – Open valve to drain water
from priming tank. In freezing weather conditions water
inside priming pump should always be drained.
3. License Plate Light – ALWAYS make sure light is
working correctly before towing at night.
4. Rear Tail Lights – Before towing make sure both tail-
lights are working correctly and are properly connected
to the towing vehicle brake light system.
5. Inlet Port – Attach suction hose to this port. ALWAYS
make sure suction hose is securely attached.
6. Priming System Tank Fill Reservoir – Used to fill
inner priming tank and vacuum system.
7. Priming System Drain Valve – Open valve to drain in
water priming tank.
8. Impeller/Volute – The impeller is a two-blade sprial
open impeller connected to a drive shaft, when rotated
creates a partial vacuum, drawing fluid through the pump
creating suction.The volute houses the impeller.

Components
Figure 3-B shows the location of the more components of
the Dry Prime pump, The function of each component or
control is described below:
16. Safety Chain – ALWAYS attach safety chain to the
towing vehicle. NEVER tow the pump with the safety
chain unattached! See towing section of this manual.
17. Towing Coupler/Ring – Attach this coupler to the towing
vehicle. Use only the specified ball diameter as indicated
on your coupler (2-5/16). Use of any other ball diameter
will create an extremely dangerous condition which can
result in separation of the coupler and ball or ball failure. A
3-inch tow ring is also available as an option.
18. Ajustable Tow Tongue – Tow tongue is adjustable by
removing locking pin to adjust tongue length then
reinserting pin to lock tongue in place.
19. Battery – Unit uses a +12VDC wet battery Group 31.
20. Engine – These pumps are equipped with either a
Deutz F3L914 or F4L914 three or four cylinder air-
cooled diesel engine.
21. Skid Lifting Bail –When lifting of the pump skid is required,
attach a strap or chain of adequate lifting capacity to lift the
skid.
22. Engine Control Box – Vandal proof (lockable) engine
control box displaying engine guages, tachometer,
tempertature, battery voltage, hour meter, oil pressure
and ignition switch.
23. Document Box – Contains all documentation relating
to the pump or engine.
24. Vacuum Pump Mechanical Seal Oil Reservoir – Oil
level should always be maintained to the FULL level
marked on the bottle.
25. Backflush Valve – Open valve to backflush wellpoints
or to clean suction strainer.

during pump operation. Consist of self-aligning
reinforced rubber hinge that doubles as a seal and a
one piece welded float assembly.
29. Priming Tank – Vacuum system that creates a vacuum
in the outer priming tank, drawing water in. Water drawn
into the outer priming tank then flows into the volute,
priming the pump.
30. Vacuum Gauge – Vacuum gauge for priming system.
Monitors air discharge. Required when troubleshooting.
31. Fuel Tank – Holds 140 gallons (530 liters) of diesel
fuel
32. Volute Inspection Cover – Remove this cover to
