ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE. This paragraph show how to assemble the DED pump assembly
and prepare it for use. The steps provided and the illustrations shown are for a typical pump set up. Always be sure that
you follow your local standard operating procedures (SOP) first if there is a conflict between the steps shown here and
you SOP.
a. Priming the Pump. Although the centrifugal pump used in the DED pump assembly is a self- priming
pump, it is self-priming only after an initial prime is provided during its first start up. To initially prime the pump, perform
the following steps. (Refer to Figure 2-3.)
(1)
Be sure that no hoses have been attached to either the inlet pipe (1) or the outlet pipe (2) of the DED
pump assembly.
(2)
Fill the pump by pouring about one gallon of water through the outlet pipe (2) of the pump.
