     makingsuretheattachmentissnug.
   •Attachthehighpressurehosetothequickconnecton
     thepump.
   •Withoutplugginginorturningonthepump,turnonthe
     supplyofwaterandopentheoutletvalve.
   •Oncewaterbeginstoowoutofthehigh-pressurehose
     andtheairispurgedout,closetheoutletvalve.
B. From a Non-Pressurized Supply
   •Connectagardenhosetothegardenhosetting,making
     suretheattachmentissnug.
   •Makesurethehoseendisnotrestingonthebottomor
     sideofthesupplycontainer.Thiswillnotallowwaterto
     ow,causingprimingandsuctionproblemswith
     thepump.
   •Primingthepumpiseasierifitisatequalorlowerheight
     ofthesupplycontainer.
   •Attachthehighpressurehosetothequickconnecton
     thepump.
   •Pluginthecordandturnonthepumpwiththeairbleed
     off(primingvalve)open.Waterwillowfromthisvalve
     oncethepumpbeginstoprime.Note: A hose can be
attached to the hose barb and run back to the water
supply if desired.
   •Closetheairbleed-offvalveandthepumpwillquickly
     prime.Makesuretheoutletvalveisopen.
   •Oncewaterbeginstoowoutofthehigh-pressurehose
     andtheairispurgedout,closetheoutletvalveandturn
     offthepump.
Priming Tips:
 A. Whenprimingthepumpfromanon-pressurizedsupply,
   itisrecommendedtolltheinputgardenhosebefore
   turningonthepump.
 B. Theinputttingforthepumpisastandardgardenhose
   connection.Whenthisattachmentismadeitisimportant
   tomakesurethegardenhoseistightenedsnugglysothat
   thepumpdoesnotsuckairthroughthelooseconnection.
   Alooseconnectionwillmakethepumphardtoprime.
 C. Theshorterthegardenhose,theeasieritistoprimethe
   pump.Longhosestendtocollapsefromthesuctionofthe
   pumpwhendrawingfromanon-pressurizedsystem,
   restrictingow.
 D. Useahosethatisrigidenoughsothatitdoesnotcollapse,
   especiallywhendrawingwaterfromanon-pressurized 
   system.
2. Connect the High Pressure Hose to the system being
checked.
 A. Ifthesupplywateriscomingfromapressurizedsystem,
   itisrecommendedtollthesystemtobetestedwithwater
   priortoturningonthepump.Thiscanbedonesimplyby
   openingtheoutletvalveonthepump,allowingwaterto
   owthroughthepumpandhigh-pressurehoseintothe
   systembeingtested.Oncethesystemllsandpressure
   beginstorise,proceedtothenextstep.
 B. Non-pressurizedsystemsshouldbelledwithwaterpriorto
   attachingthehigh-pressurehoseandturningonthepump,
   ifatallpossible.Thiscouldspeedupthetestingprocess.
 C. Theoutputttingattheendofthehigh-pressurehoseis
   3/8”NPT.Anadaptormaybeusedtoattachthishoseto
   thesystemthatisbeingpressuretested.
3. Setting the pressure.
A. Pluginthecordandturnonthepump(EHTP500)or 
   attach½”electricorcordlessdrilltoshaftonbackof 
   pump(DPHTP500).DPHTP500pumpcanbedrivenin 
   eithertheclockwiseorcounterclockwisedirection.
B. Runthepumpforafewsecondstobesureitis
   pumpinguidintothesystem.Closethehighpressure
   outletvalve.Pressurecanbeadjustedbyturningthe
   pressureadjustmentknobonthesideofthepump.Turning
   clockwisewillincreasethepressure.Turningcounterclock-
   wisewilldecreasethepressure.
C. Whenthedesiredpressureindicatedonthepumpgauge
   isreached,openhighpressureoutletvalveandrunthe
   pumptopressurizethesystem.
4. Once the system reaches the desired pressure, close the
high pressure outlet valve and turn off the pump.
The gauge on the pump indicates the pump pressure and not
the test system pressure. A separate gauge for the test system is
required, and is not provided with these test pumps.
A. Oncethepumpreachesthesetpressure,itwillcontinue
   torunbutthewaterwillowthroughtheAutomatic
   Bypassandrecirculatethroughthepump.Itisnot
   recommendedtorunthepumpinbypassmodeformore
   thanacoupleofminutes.Oncethedesiredpressureis 
   reached,itisunnecessarytocontinuerunningthepump.
   Closethevalve,turnoffthepumpandunplugthecord.
B. Thepumpisequippedwithavalveandhosewhichhas
   acheckvalvetopreventbackow.Thecheckvalveonly
   workswhenthethehoseisdetachedfromthepump.It
   isrecommendedtollthesystembeingtestedthrougha
   valvewhichcanbeshutforbackowpreventionaswell.
