2.11. OPERATING PROCEDURES. The following paragraphs provide the general operating
procedures for the pumping assembly. For further detailed instructions in operating fuel transfer
equipment, refer to FM 10-69, Petroleum Supply Point Equipment and Operation.
CAUTION
Starting the pump assembly before the pump has been initially
primed can cause serious damage to the pump. Be sure that
the pump has been initially primed as shown below.
a.
Priming the Pump. Although the centrifugal pump used in the pump assembly is a self-priming pump, it
is self-priming only after an initial prime is provided during its first start up. Pump must again be
initially
primed if pumping assembly is disassembled. To initially prime the pump, perform the following
steps.
(Refer to Figure 2-4.)
(1) Disconnect the discharge hose assembly (1) from pump discharge outlet (2) on top of the pump
assembly.
(2) Check that drain cock (3) is closed.
WARNING
Improper care in handling fuel can cause fire and explosion
which can cause severe injury or death to operating personnel.
To avoid fire or explosion during engine refueling:
DO NOT allow any flame producing material within
50 feet (15.25 m) of fuel during equipment filling.
DO NOT smoke while transferring fuel.
DO NOT let fuel drip onto any hot surface.
DO NOT overfill any fuel container.
(3) Fill the pump by pouring fuel into the discharge outlet (2) of the pump until pump is full of
fuel.
(4) Install discharge hose assembly (1) onto discharge outlet (2) of pump.
